I know I purchase too much from Mecca but I really cannot control myself... I had a week to claim the Beauty Loop Box and it is my first box and I am looking forward to it. I am going to see if they are worth it and I spent over $75 for free shipping. I bought a multiple of things as well as samples because I will use them one day and update these posts. A small disclaimer - I use samples when I finish using the product I am already using. I will update you on those products as I test them through my Facebook and Twitter pages.
Beauty Loop Box
Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel - $23-$216AUD

This one is actually worth getting the box as 5 packets costs $23AUD and in the box came with 3 packets which is pretty decent! The reviews on this are mixed, but I am still looking forward to trying it out as I am always okay with trying new skin care.
Too Faced Hangover 3-in-1 Replenishing Primer & Setting Spray - $46AUD

This Spray is tiny! But it will last a bit as it is about the size of an ordinary chap stick. I will have to try it over my make up to see how it goes. It feels very nice on bare skin. This actually kept my foundation on my skin for a very long time which was actually amazing! I put this on my face after applying my face make up for my Valentine's Day look.
Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior Visible Dark Circle Eraser - $88AUD

Urban Decay Vice Liquid Lipstick 'Big Bang' - $32AUD

This lippie is actually pretty good! Its a metallic pink and it reminds me of Jeffree Star and Jouer pink Lip Topper, though I never purchased it. It is pink/purple colour and I think it is not fully pigmented which can be used as a lip gloss over the top of lipstick.

Overall, I believe these boxes are worth it and for anyone who wants to try a variety of different brands and products, this is a good way of doing it.
My Order
Mac Cosmetics Prep + Prime Fix+ Lavender - $32AUD

This has a small scent of lavender which works for people who do not want that strong smell of lavender. It is actually smaller than what I expected and I suppose it is about the same size as any other setting spray. It sprays in droplets so it feels like I just stepped out of a sun shower. I put this on my face before placing my foundation on my Valentine's Day look to keep my skin hydrating and it made my foundation not feel so dry which was very nice.
NARS Pencil Sharpener - $8AUD

Pretty good quality for the price of $6AUD. There is a cover so shavings do not cover the floor and it feels very nice as well. I hope it does okay when sharpening Kylie Cosmetics pencils as they are very weird to sharpen.
Mario Badescu Lip Wax - $6AUD

This lip wax has a weird smell to it and in hot temperatures heats up and melts away. But it does moisturise my lips very nicely. I would recommend exfoliating your lips before using this product. I recon you can find better for cheaper.
Too Faced Lip Injections Extreme - $19AUD

Wow.. I have to do a before and after photo of this because I can't tell the difference if they make them larger or not. It smells like strawberry starburst and I just wanna eat it, but don't do that kids. It does tingle and burn though so be careful with that.
The before and after is noticeable and is a nice gloss just to wear by itself. The lips do appear bigger and for long term effects will stay wearing morning and night according to the instructions which I do not know about.
Mizon Acence Tea Tree Tock Blemish - $23AUD

This has a strong Tea Tree smell so if you can not handle that then do not buy this. It is a Korean product and from what I can tell, products are even hit or miss. It works and it doesn't. The product does clean the area but it does not decrease the size of the pimples or help drain them, but it doessooth the affected area.
Samples
NuFACE Prep-N-Glow - $14-$28AUD

The sample only has one day worth of product. The product can be used to remove make up and gently exfoliate with no rinse required! I'll have to put this to the test!
Too Faced Born This Way Trio - $57AUD

It is kind of annoying looking at samples and they do not range for darker skin tones. They only supply 3 shades out of 18 and the shade difference is 3 between each shade chosen. This dos not cover for very light skinned people and dark skinned people. Usually samples cover the darker shade but this one doesn't, unless this is selected to my previous purchases which I do not think so.
Origins Drink Up Mask - $37AUD

I cannot wait to try this. I may need more hydration in my skin, but how I see it, hydration equals more oil. The website does say suitable for dry skin, but I will still try it out as it could benefit me in some way. The sample actually has a lot in it and will hopefully last 3-4 uses. Which it did, it could last maybe 5-6 depending on how much you use at a time and how coated the skin is. I do have to say that it worked many wonders for my skin as it has cleared up a lot of my pores and my skin feels so soft. The only downfall is the oiliness that is showing through after 3-4 hours after putting on moisturiser which I am disappointed in. However, I can deal with it, but it is not helping too much with my pimples that I have atm. Because I love their products, I have bought some of their other skin care porducts more suited for oily skin and hope that they work amazing for my skin. Will keep you updated.
Next Week, I really wanted to test out Jeffree Star's Love Sick collection, however, I bought the palette on pre-order so I will not release it for another month or two depending on how long I have to wait. But, I will unveil my favourite lipsticks! Stay tuned!
Happy Shopping,
