Mecca Brushes
When the STM team heard Mecca Max relaunched its brush collection and the prices started from only $10, eyebrows were raised. We gave it a test-run to see if the quality matched its affordability. Well the verdict is in and the brushes passed with flying colours, almost feeling too good for the low price point. But hey, no complaints here. Shop at mecca.com or in-store.
Circular Fashion Festival
Australia’s biggest Circular Fashion Festival has announced its 2026 program and it’s looking better than ever. Running from September through to November across Perth and Fremantle, the sustainable fashion celebration will feature exhibitions, markets and a brand-new couture runway at the WA Museum Boola Bardip on October 23. Tickets and full event program at www.circularfashionfestival.com.au
Sound Bathing
It’s getting to that time of year when summer break is still far from reach but your nervous system is beginning to need a reset. COMO The Treasury may have the answer with an immersive poolside wellness experience of sound bathing next week. Guided through a meditative soundscape of crystal bowls, chimes and gongs, guests will (quite literally) float and relax to the max. It’s $200 per person and can be booked at statebuildings.com
