Hold onto your lash curlers and prep your pores—because Mecca has just dropped two hotly anticipated releases, and let’s just say the beauty world is collectively losing it. Like, “shut up and take my money” levels of excitement. Whether you’re a die-hard skincare aficionado or live for a dramatic lash moment (or both, because we contain multitudes), these new launches are here to slide right into your routine—and probably your group chat.
What makes this moment extra juicy? Both products come straight from Mecca’s own family—Mecca Max and Mecca Cosmetica—aka the cool cousins who always show up at the reunion with the best outfits and the best recs. Let’s dive into the two headline acts.
Max lashes, minimal effort: Mecca Max Max Vol. Tubing Mascara has entered the chat
If your mascara can’t keep up with your day (or your dance floor antics), it’s time to upgrade to the Max Vol. Tubing Mascara ($28). This isn’t just another lash-lifter—it’s a full-volume, smudge-free banger of a formula that partners dramatic payoff with stay-all-day wear. And yes, it comes with a side of Aussie music magic.
In a genius collab with synth-pop trio Blusher, Mecca Max is bringing high-impact lashes and high-energy vibes with a mascara that won’t flake, run, or ghost you. Whether you’re front row at a gig or surviving back-to-back Zooms, this tubing formula builds beautifully and removes with just warm water (no rubbing, no tears—unless you want them for the aesthetic).
The triangular brush? A work of art. It grabs every lash, even the shy ones, to deliver definition and drama in one swipe. Go soft and fluttery or build it up to full glam mode. It’s mascara that plays well with others, especially winged liner and glitter lids—but steals the show all on its own.
Cool, calm and collected: Mecca Cosmetica Gel Cream is the chill hydrator your face has been waiting for
Raise your hand if your skin loves hydration but hates heaviness. (Hi, oily/combo fam—we see you.) Mecca Cosmetica’s brand-new Gel Cream Moisturiser is the answer to your shiny-skin prayers. Think weightless, water-gel texture that quenches without clogging, calms without the grease, and leaves your face feeling like it just had a cool splash of spa water.
At the heart of this silky formula? A skin-soothing trio:
- Squalane, the moisture magnet that hydrates without turning you into an oil slick.
- Niacinamide, your friendly neighbourhood pore-refiner and redness-reducer.
- Amino acids, 17 of them, to plump, protect, and give you that “I drink water and get eight hours” glow.
It’s fragrance-free, fuss-free, and fits right into your existing skincare ritual—layer it post-serum, pre-SPF, or under makeup without fear of pilling or melting off halfway through the day. Bonus: 100% of users in trials said their skin looked smoother after using it. Now that’s what we call stats.
It’s a modern must-have for anyone who wants hydration with zero stickiness and maximum results.
TL;DR? Your new signature lash and glow have both landed at Mecca
So whether your vibe is stage-ready volume or everyday skin serenity (or you’re chasing both like the multi-tasking icon you are), these two new launches from Mecca Max and Mecca Cosmetica are made to serve. One for your makeup bag, one for your bathroom shelf, both absolutely worth the hype.
