If you were thinking of wrapping up yeast spread-themed paraphernalia, choccy biccies or souvenir tea towels, may we suggest you think again?
They’ll be overjoyed when the postie delivers something special from one of our home-grown beauty labels. Australia’s beauty brands reflect what life here actually feels like, with formulas, textures and scents anchored in a kind of ease that comes from our laid-back approach to life. In other words, what your loved ones are probably missing most at this time of year.
Here’s what to gift from Australia’s best beauty exports.
You can’t find sunscreen like ours overseas, and MECCA’s are famously hard to beat, facing the highest testing standards (and some of the harshest rays on earth) before they ever reach your shelf. Back just for the holidays, MECCA COSMETICA’s SPF icons are dressed in display-worthy, limited-edition packaging from MECCA’s 2025 Holiday artist Karen Black. Makeup wearers will love To Save Face SPF50+ Superscreen, a slightly matte, weightless, non-greasy formula that sits beautifully under foundation and has no white cast. To Save Face SPF50+ Brightening Sun Serum is glowy skincare and SPF in one – best if you know your recipient isn’t into multiple steps in the morning.
ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Sunscreen is only one form of sun protection. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and reapply as directed.
From every corner of our store to every gift that walks out the door, there’s beauty to be found. Explore all gifts at MECCA.
