1. The Beckham effect
Victoria Beckham Beauty has made its way to New Zealand, now exclusively at MECCA, and it’s nothing short of covetable. From the Satin Kajal Liner that glides effortlessly to the Reflect Highlighter Stick that catches the light just right, each product reflects Beckham’s signature minimalism. Cult favourites like the Posh Lipstick and Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturiser offer effortless ways to elevate any look whether for a subtle daytime glow or a polished evening statement – now within reach for local beauty lovers.
2. Old favourite, new flavour
QT Wellington’s beloved Hippo has re-emerged with a fresh new feel – relaxed, lively, and full of heart. Under Executive Chef Antoine Collet, the menu leans into local flavour with a touch of French charm – Ora King salmon, Te Matuku oysters, and Pure South eye fillet all making an appearance. Designed for long dinners and good company, where the harbour views never get old and the food feels both familiar and a little bit special. A classic name, reimagined – and ready to be loved all over again.
3. New season, best kept secret
There’s a special kind of confidence that comes from knowing you’ve nailed the look — and paid less than anyone would guess. This season, Farmers delivers the pieces worth whispering about: effortless linen sets, perfect-fit denim, and sun-ready dresses that look straight off the designer rack. It’s the thrill of finding something elevated yet entirely attainable — the quiet power of saying, “Thanks, it’s from Farmers.” Because true style isn’t about spending more, it’s about discovering New Zealand’s best kept secret first.
4. Science meets skin
Barcelona-born skincare authority mesoestetic introduces a new era of sun protection with the evolution of its best-selling mesoprotech range. Powered by PHOTON technology, which activates under sunlight to boost defence against UVA and UVB, the collection blends science and skincare with effortless sophistication. Each formula is tailored to different skin types – from the hydrating Hydra Cream SPF50+ to the coveted Melan 130 Pigment Control – offering high protection with luxurious textures. Now housed in recycled packaging, mesoprotech combines performance, sustainability, and innovation – the future of SPF, perfected.
5. Pass the Charm
SOPHIE turns its playful, personalised touch toward the power of movement with the launch of SPORTS pendants. Timed with Mental Health Awareness Week, the collection celebrates the confidence and connection found through sport, with a portion of proceeds supporting Women in Sport Aotearoa (WISPA). Designed to layer with SOPHIE’s signature letters, birthstones, and icons, each charm captures the spirit of everyday motion – from early-morning walks to weekend matches. Fronted by hockey player Brooke Roberts and emerging talent Lexi Macleod, the campaign champions joy, community, and the stories we carry in motion.
