If you have your make up done you get to redeem the cost in product - one of the the things I chose was a gorgeous Nars Laguna bronzer that I absolutely love. Also a fab Terry lipstick which is the perfect colour for me (although very expensive...had to chip in a bit to get this one).

Don't go anywhere else for your make up needs. So very cheap, I'm talking like an average of $10…read moreless than most other places. From foundations, face wash, moisturizers & your basic hair care. I find the hair stuff very similar to your supermarket stuff where as the make up & skin care you can get a lot of your higher range products for half the cost. The staff are always very friendly & happy to help with any questions you may have & will order products in if they are able to. My hot tip, they have oral b mouth wash for $2.99

This cosmetic's store is a little beauty! Located amongst the many other outlet and discount stores…read moreon Bridge Road, You Little Beauty stocks a wide range of top brand cosmetics and beauty products at heavily reduced prices. They have everything from nail polish, cleansers, eye shadow and mascara to shampoo, conditioner and soaps. You can really pick up some very good deals on some of the upmarket brands like L'Oreal, Maybeline, MAC, Revlon and Estee Lauder. The shop itself is quite small and warehouse like in appearance, but its walls are packed with beauty discounts and products. Definitely worth a look if you are in the area.

Happily, MAC on Chapel Street isn't the only place you can buy it. Sadly, it IS the only place you can buy several of their 'exclusive' products. I've been here probably a dozen times. On several occasions I was just flat out ignored. On my most recent visit, my shopping companion and I received service that wasn't particularly helpful, but it was at least service. Until the lipstick that was chosen wasn't in stock. My details were recorded for when it came in, but now, weeks later, I haven't received any update. Sure, I'll continue to buy MAC, but I'll also continue to avoid this place like a truck stop toilet.

A blonde haired, red eye shadowed, high pony tailed "make up artist" came up to her and all but accused her of opening a new lip gloss and using the applicator on it. My friend even said no it was just there and showed her the disposable applicator that she had used. The staff member proceed to tell her off! Needless to say we just left our would be purchases and walked. Melbourne if you're going to do Sephora when people who've experienced the amazing service in America come over here they are going to be terribly disappointed at your appalling service.

This is a makeup shop located in Melbourne Central made by Mecca Cosmetica and I have to say it's…read morepretty good! It's a huge shop filled with all sorts of selections and even free makeovers. The customer service was nice, gracious, and helpful. Their products are high quality and at decent prices too. I bought some nailpolish (they have nailpolish testers and free remover as well) and noticed that they were at the same prices in Big W also in the CBD. This will probably be my go-to place in terms of makeup because the employees seem to really know what they're talking about and can help you with whatever you need. I'm not that experienced with makeup honestly so I'll probably find this spot really useful. One downside I have to mention though is that when you make a purchase, they ask you for all this personal information such as name and e-mail. Then I started receiving Mecca Cosmetica newsletters when I didn't give permission for them to send me anything and they didn't notify me that I would receive any newsletters. I'm not sure if my cashier forgot or if it just isn't part of the policy. You can unsubscribe easily, but it did turn me off a bit.
