Champagne gardens, bee hives and beauty lounges – all of the must-experience Shop BNE City events

Attention fashionistas, foodies and beauty aficionados! From September 24–26, you'll have the opportunity to shop more than 70 exclusive offers from The City's most exciting brands during the Shop BNE City weekend! Not just a weekend of sizzling sales, event-goers will also be treated to a ripper selection of activations that will be popping up across the three days – from Chandon gardens and treat-filled hives to beauty lounges filled with free goodie bags.


Put your name on it with Mecca Maxima’s brush personalisation
Freebies and giveaways are our personal favourite part of the Shop BNE City weekend, and Mecca Maxima’s free brush personalisation is one offer we’ll definitely be running to take advantage of. When you spend $150 or more at The Myer Centre during Shop BNE City, you’ll score a Mecca Max make-up brush that has your name engraved on it – so your powder won’t just go on perfectly, but it will be personalised too! To claim your free make-up brush, you just have to make tracks to the pop-up on Level Q, near Myer. We suggest getting in quick though, as these bad boys will only stick around while stocks last. Find out more here.

Get dewy skin with Aesop’s skin consultations 
With winter now behind us, we can happily wave goodbye to dry-skin days. To help you and your pores look their best, the skincare masters at Aesop will be hosting skincare consultations from their Queens Plaza boutique. Your skin isn’t the only thing that will be replenished – the team will also be serving coffee and refreshments in store and slinging free deluxe product and Aesop tea samples with purchases. Consider this your excuse for a little skincare refresh. To learn more, head here.

Get your brows and nails sorted at The Beauty Lounge
In serious need of a mani or brow tidy? Well, your beauty prayers will be answered at the The Beauty Lounge, a jam-packed pop-up that will be wowing bargain hunters during the Shop BNE City weekend. After you’ve shopped up a storm, take a moment to relax and join The Myer Centre for some pampering, delectable mocktails, fairy floss and live music. You’ll be able to get your nails shaped by the lovely crew from Rainbow Nails, whilst unruly brows can be tamed by the experts from Benefit Cosmetics. Plus, be one of the first 100 people to visit The Beauty Lounge each day (located on Level Q outside Myer) and you’ll snag an exclusive gift bag with goodies from some of your favourite brands. To learn when this glamorous pop-up is open, head here.

Refresh and recharge at The Chandon Garden
Summer vibes and ice-cold sips are what you can expect to soak up at The Chandon Garden, a luxe pop-up oasis happening during Shop BNE City. Customers are invited to drop in to the breezy hub between shopping stints to get a taste of the new Chandon Garden Spritz, a refreshing mix of sparkling wine and natural extracts from orange peels​. The Chandon Garden will be located outside Jimmy’s on the Mall near Zara. To check out its opening hours, hop over here.

Indulge in sweet treats at the Wintergarden Bee Hive 
Bees and bargains may not be the most obvious coupling, but they sure make for a sweet combo. You can make your time at Shop BNE City that little bit sweeter by simply spending $10 at Wintergarden and visiting the Bee Hive located on the Ground Floor near Dinosaur Designs. This pop-up will be buzzing to say the least, with the hive set to be filled with treats like honey-infused drinks, honeycomb, honey donuts and honey nougat! To peep when the bee hive is open during the Shop BNE City weekend, head here.
