little white truths

Today I have a little unboxing post for you. It won't be a long one but I couldn't find any images online of this year's Mecca birthday gift, so I thought I would post on it quickly for anyone who's interested.

As you may know, each year we receive a birthday gift from Mecca - and I always nip in-store when mine arrives because it's usually good and I get rather excited about it. Unfortunately I wasn't quite as excited this year because it's something of a 'niche' product and it's not one I would have bought for myself: it's the Mecca Cosmetica Enlightened Illuminating Body Oil.

Mecca claims/product details:

• Hydrate while adding a touch of glam to your limbs with this nourishing body oil
• Contains an infusion of subtle, radiant illuminator
• A must-have for the next event that you get your legs out - this ultra hydrating, quick absorbing body oil imparts a long-lasting, subtle shimmer
• Providing you with summer in a bottle, apply this lightweight oil anywhere a little extra hydration is required 
• Fast drying oil that won't leave marks on clothing, with the subtle shimmer washing off in the shower
• RRP $25 AUD for 50ml or $48 AUD for 100ml

While I'm sure that this is a really gorgeous product (and it's also a generous gift), I personally don't have any need for an expensive body oil like this one - I just want something that works - and I'm also not someone who tends to go for a shimmery body product. If I'm going to put some glow on my body, I like to concentrate it with a highlighter - so this kind of product isn't one I have much use for, and it's not one I would buy.

Still, I'll certainly try it and it's had some great reviews so I'm sure that it's lovely.

Let me know in the comments what birthday gift you received from Mecca this year (I'm not sure it's the same for every level): I'd love to hear.

Hope all's well with you, and speak soon x
