Beauty news: The MECCA Beauty Election is back!

In exciting news for beauty freaks like me everywhere, the highly anticipated MECCA Beauty Election is officially back, giving the public the chance to shout about the products that will shape the future of beauty. Voting is officially open today, giving customers the opportunity to vote for their favourite products across 20 categories ranging from skincare, makeup, haircare, body, and fragrance.
Throughout the month of June, MECCA will call-upon the power of the beauty community across Australia and New Zealand, to join forces and curate the ultimate beauty recommendations, showcasing the most beloved and innovative products available at MECCA. From signature scents that set the mood and brows that wow, to the breakout stars of your beauty bag, customers will be able to choose from over 120 nominees that will take centre stage during the election.

With over 180 globally loved brands available at MECCA, the team is thrilled to celebrate once again the very best in beauty and honour the products that truly capture the hearts and minds of their community of beauty enthusiasts, including long-time faves of mine like NARS, Dr. Barbara Sturm, Charlotte Tilbury, Drunk Elephant, Sol de Janeiro, BYREDO and more.
