Let's call Kit Mecca Cosmetics' little sister. If you're familiar with the Mecca stores then…read moreyou'll feel right at home in the Kit Cosmetics concession that is in the first floor of the CBD Myer store. They stock an entirely different set of ranges to Mecca and most tend to fall into a lower price point than some of the higher end brands you'd find in Mecca stores. But the quality and curation of only the best of the best remain (they're owned buy the same people). And true to their staff ethos, I've always encountered professional and eager to help staff in this concession. Plus they've never been overly pushy or those kind of sale people to follow you around endlessly once you've indicated you're just browsing. Pro Tip: looking for new makeup products but not sure where to start? Book in for one of their makeup application appointments. The cost is redeemable on product and you'll walk out feeling like a million dollars.

Sure: Mecca has some hot competition on their toes with as ephors opening in Sydney this December,…read morebut for now, this is as good as it gets for us cosmetic loving dames and gents in Brisbane. Of course there's always that other shop, open 24/7 a.k.a the World Wide Web but you'll be pleased and/or surprised to note Mecca have recently dropped their prices quite heftily to fall in line with US prices. And they've always been generous with samples. As a dame with sensitive and often reactive skin, the ability to really test a product, be it makeup or skin care, before I buy is appreciated. Pair this with customer service from the staff that 9 times out if 10 goes above and beyond and it's a bricks and mortar store I'm more than happy to give my Monopoly money (read: paycheck) to. As Fleur pointed out the staff don't pounce straight away. They will ask but I've always found them to be respectful of my space once I say I'm just looking. Similarly, if you do need a hand they'll be ready! If you are to visit either of the Mecca's in the Mall, this is my pick. There's just a little more range than the Queens Plaza store.

I went into the store a few weeks ago to do a makeup tutorial. It was my first time doing one and I…read moredidn't really quite know what to expect. I was helped by a lady named Mindy and at first, the tutorial was quite good and engaging. But later on, when I was struggling with my eyeliner, she snatched the brush out of my hand and started mocking me, proceeding to tell me that I was doing it wrong in a very frustrated and annoyed tone. I thought the point of the tutorial was to learn more about makeup and get a better feel for some of the products I don't have much experience with. I spent the rest of the time feeling embarrassed and stupid, especially after continuing her rude behaviour. It made me want to leave and ruined an experience I received as a gift and was relatively excited about. I was disappointed because friends who had done tutorials at other Mecca stores had been telling me how great tutorials were but that was really undermined by my experience.

The first time I went to Ella Bache Toowong, was not the last. In fact I went there today, and…read moreusually once a month... but only to this one. I have visited plenty of beauty, day spa places in my time and none have been as consistent as this little business. The therapists are actually really good at their jobs (and I have gotten some very sub par facials and massages and waxes in the past), very professional and present themselves very well (no smokers breath yay). They give awesome massages and really nice facials in clean, cosy and comfortable environments. You get soothing music, water to drink, a doona on the bed... it's the service you would only usually get at a 5 star hotel.... which is why I had to rate this particular salon 5 stars. Yes, I admit, this isn't for the budget conscious... they charge between 80-150 for most their facials, their products are all in french and very expensive... but they are worth every cent. Not so much the products, but the service you get. They don't insist on trying to sell you products every step of your treatment as well, which is an added bonus. I can't say the same for the Indooroopilly, Portside Wharf, Paddington and other Ella Bache's out there... (they are all individually owned with different prices as well to my surprise)... but the one at Toowong is a secret gem. You can always get a good booking at a time that suits and I have never been let down (I've been going there for the past 7 years). On another note, I rang the Indooroopilly branch up asking if they would match my beloved Toowong prices (their eyebrow wax and other services seemed to be a few dollars more expensive for the same thing) and they refused. Left a bit of a sour note in my mouth, just saying. Toowong is where it's at for sure.

When I inquired a product, her response was "this product is for young people." Ok, I am not young or I looked horrible? I am in my late 20s. But by hearing that, I really wanted to give her a "F**k you". When I compared the price from e-bay, buying on line is way better and have more to choose from, and you will not be abused by the shop assistant, you just need to wait for a couple of weeks for the shipping from South Korean. I will never buy anything from W Cosmetics. They need proper training staffs.

And I don't know about you, but there's been many a time when I've felt the need for a good "Pore Vacuumer" or intense whitening face cream in my life. So if you are in the market for crazy good false eyelashes or to create that oh so desired eyelid crease (Asians y'all know what I'm talking about) Cutie Q is your new port of call.

There's a hundred places you can get a spray tan in Brisbane, however I didn't want to look like an Oompa Loompa in the photos so I was after the best. Enter Brazilian Beauty. Their tans aren't the cheapest, however they offer a range of tan colours and there's not a hint of orange in any of them. It's a little confronting stripping down to a paper g-string in front of a stranger, however the girls there make you feel as comfortable as possible and you soon get used to it. As a tanning virgin, I was VERY nervous however I had no complaints with the even, golden tan I walked out with. They also offer the full range of beauty services, and have monthly specials on things like eye lash extensions, making a little pampering more affordable. Hot tip: buy the 5 pack of tans. It brings the price down to $30 per tan and it turns out that spray tans are rather addictive, so it's an investment that will pay off.
