Prepare for a stampede: Mecca is giving away free lipsticks on Friday

FOR one day only — tomorrow, Friday July 6 — cult beauty retailer Mecca will be giving away free lipsticks. Here’s how it works.

The ‘kissing booths’ will be set up near the Mecca Maxima stores in Bondi Junction and Melbourne Central.

WE had no idea how much people loved a free lipstick until MAC Cosmetics ran its lipstick giveaway almost one year ago.

The promo caused a veritable stampede in the makeup brand’s stores around the country, with devastated beauty junkies ruining their mascara when stocks ran out in record time.

If you missed out on that one, the good news is that you’ll have another chance to score a free lipstick tomorrow.

To celebrate “International Kissing Day” (it’s on Friday July 6, duh) cult beauty retailer Mecca will be giving away free MECCA MAX A-Lipster Liquid Lipsticks and Kiss & Tell Lip Masks at two locations.

Punters will need to head to the “Mecca Max Kissing Booth” in Bondi Junction (NSW) or Melbourne Central (Victoria) to claim their freebies.

The kissing booths will be set up near the Mecca Maxima stores.

On the day you’ll also need to sign up to Mecca’s “beauty loop” newsletter to be eligible.

Lucky beauty fans will also score a free lip mask as part of the giveaway.

The Melbourne Central kissing booth will be open from 10am — 6pm (or until stocks last).

The Bondi Junction kissing booth will be open from 9.30am — 6pm (or until stocks last).

And in case you’re thinking of being a sneaky bugger, the free item cannot be returned or exchanged in store.
