So, I live in the hills and often drive down Milan Terrace to avoid traffic in Stirling…read more Recently I noticed a store pop up in a house. Super cute front, looking like a welcoming little cottage. It kind of draws you in. I kept thinking, "Oooo what is in there?" Finally, I drove past on a day where I had a little spare time to kill. So in I went. And I am glad I did. This store offers a range of homewares, jewellery, furniture and crockery that are really suited to my taste. It is all kind of pop art influenced. Bright coloured or pastel coloured items. There are some really funky display plates sold here. I know, most display plates are for old ladies and have horrible arrangements of flowers on them. But the ones in this store featured really bright coloured butterflies and cross-stitched patterned prints of reindeer. You will see in the photos I have uploaded. Not to mention all the very affordable art prints of the legend herself Fida Kahlo. Nice! I know for most Adelaideians it is a trek to the hills, but next time you stop for say the Stirling Laneways or Markets. Drop by here, you will be pleasantly surprised.

This is a BIGGGGGGG chemist. Seriously big. The range is impressive, the prices are low, even…read morecheap, but I don't find a particular connection here, either way. Smaller chemists offer more of what I really look for in a chemist, I think. That little bit of individual care, attention... assistance. Parking is good - nice generous spots, too. It's on a big site so they can use the space nicely. I think I'd be more attracted here if it was closer to home - if it's close to your home it should have everything you need.

As the name so clearly suggests they are a cheap shoe shop…read more They do have some nice styles and some georgeous flashy going out shoes and for how often I may wear something like that it is not worth me paying a fortune for them. So this is the place I would prefer. They also have some great comfy everyday shoes. They do sell sport shoes but I would purchase mine from a sports store or store with a wider range than here. But for sandals and summer shoes they are great. Men's work boots are also not bad priced here. Definitely worth a look and they also have a great online facility if you want to see what they have before you go to the store. With shoes I would always prefer to visit the actual store I buy them from so I can try them on and test them out first. Some brands sizing varies quite a bit and visiting an actual store tends to save time.

Apart from the slightly droll implications of calling it Mecca, a beauty and skincare store that…read moreallows a woman to make an appointment to come in and have her face painted is not such a bad thing. Many women enjoy the 'make over' element of having the right foundation, blush, eye shadow and lipstick, but do not have the money to build up a cache of makeup when they're not really using it all that often. One wouldn't necessarily be wanting to use foundation all the time or applying eye shadow every day, it simply isn't very practical. Obviously some jobs require the added enhancement of makeup, but not all. If you were working in a laundry you wouldn't feel any great need to be made up with cosmetics every day would you? Possibly if you were working in a shop or as a receptionist or as a bank manager or teller you may feel it is par for the course to wear some makeup, just so you look that extra bit fresh even when you are not feeling quite so fresh. Mecca Cosmetica is an outlet for some very vivid cosmetics, but I am drawn to it as a business because I am told it is a nice treat. You see I don't go and get myself made up, as much as I may need some sort of cosmetic enhancement, I shy away from it being a male. My grandchildren may feel strong enough to get around wearing eye liner and blush, but today's young men are definitely more adventurous that I ever was in that department. I myself have been informed in this particular instance that the service provided by Mecca Cosmetica is a "treat and a half", "a real splurge out" and "essential if you don't know what to do with cosmetics to save your life" and I am inclined to believe the advice I've had imparted to me. I do know that when I worked in television on various TV series and in movies there was quite a lot of time spent in the makeup chair for relatively little effect, which was the desired outcome. The difference in real life for a woman is she can learn a lot by having someone apply her makeup for her, to deliberately make her look made up, coloured, enhanced; however you want to put it. Once the lessons are learnt they can be utilised without the luxury of having someone do it for you. We all know a little bit of self indulgence can be a good thing from time to time as long as it doesn't get you into trouble. If you and four friends want to be indulged in an evening of sppecial treatment and crash course of education it will cost you $100.00 each which may seem a lot at a glance to some, and will not seem too much to others obviously; what is the value of self grooming and knowing what to do with the cosmetics you bother to purchase? I suspect this is a fairly reasonable price for a working woman, and we all know how easy it is to then share secrects with our nearest and dearest, don't we women?

8/01/2012 It's always really awkward for me trying to talk…read moreabout make-up. I mean...how do I share with the rest of Yelp (and maybe the public user) that: 1. This is only the second EVER cosmetic store I have ever been to in my ENTIRE life... and 2. It was SO bad that when you normally have the ability to think on your feet and answer spontaneous and tough questions, you were asked by the shop assistant what my "lady friend" specifically likes in make-up, you were absolutely stumped on the spot! (I mean...I should be alright in the field of make-up, right?...Boy, have I never been more wrong in my life!) Awkward confessions aside, Mecca Cosmetica was the most informative, and comfortable beauty&cosmetics store I have ever been to. (Well, yes, out of the two shops so far. Give me a break! I'm still a rookie!) Mecca Cosmetica had fantastic service! While I was the only other living and breathing customer in the store I quickly gained courage to ask her to introduce me to this new world of make-up! She effortlessly introduced me to the lipstick colours of orange, red, and even recommended purple as the new trendy colour for nails! I must say, really...the quality of the lipstick and nail colour was clear and pretty to look at! I figured I might as well enjoy the free ride. But she laughed at me as she knew that this wasn't my element when she kept asking questions, until I told her, "I have no idea what I'm doing here. I feel like I'm on a shopping spree in Sex In the City, except I'm Mr Big, not Carrie Bradshaw." I'm still not sure how I managed to survive half an hour here! So here's a TIP: Guys, when visiting any make-up store, ask a female friend to come along with you. For the ladies, if you want the best make-up in Adelaide CBD, go and step inside Mecca Cosmetica on your next trip to Rundle Mall...especially if you want friendly & educational customer service, coupled with the best beauty & cosmetic products from USA and Europe!

I gotta say....I think I'm in love I do love my Lush products but I was given a face cleanser and…read morebody scrub for Xmas and it was just utter bliss! On my arms, I have a bit of keratosis pilaris (very mild, little red dry bumps) and when I tried the 'Fruit Tingle' body scrub it pretty much got rid of 98% of them and my skin felt sooooo soft afterwards, never in my life have I had that; even after using moisturisers it would still come back. Not to mention the smell, praise the sugar lord, it's to die for!! I love the (OH) Passion fruit face cleanser too, takes of all my makeup at night time, recommend using a wet flannel with it. The body soaps are great too but I found it just got used up too quickly and didn't last very long. Definitely worth trying out and one tip, if you use the scrubs let it sit on your skin for a few minutes and you'll not only smell tasty but the product works better!

As you walk in you are greeted with the most amazing sweet smells. It's not overwhelming. It's just really refreshing and entrancing. I am a sucker for fruit & sweet scents, so Oh Deer Sugar products totally won me over. Not to mention that they are all totally cruelty free, vegan and made in our very own lil' city Adelaide. Hooray! The store owners are just so absolutely lovely and so happy to explain each an everyone of their products. I was totally walking around like I walked into the chocolate factory in the Roald Dahl book Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Only thing is, I couldn't eat anything. Although it sure smells like you can! Be sure to smell those chocolate block soaps. Yummo! All of the bath bombs, bubble baths and skin products almost look to pretty to use. So, you know you are in for a treat when you get a chance to use them. Some are in the shape of cup cakes with icing and glitter. So cute and makes for a great gift! Wow your friends and share the love for this store. I guarantee they will become as addicted as what you will be! The best part is that their bath bombs and bubble baths is that they are multi use! Yup, you don't have to use the whole thing for one bath. That really means that they are great value for money. I am actually going to have to try everything in this store. Love supporting such a cool idea and talented people in SA. If only there were more stars to give them!! Oh, here you go ladies: *****
