Make up?

By aisha00

Hello everyone,

I have recently moved to Doha, i was based in the UAE before and whenever i wanted to buy cosmetics(make up) i would go to specific small shops to get them, the reason behind this was the price would be about 30% less than the perfumes in fancy stores at malls. And yes, the products were absolutely genuine.

Sme brans i bought were estee lauder, loreal, bobbi brown.

So, are there such shops in Doha too? If yes, please give me their location.
Thank you.

nomerci, Branded cosmetics (genuine) are not sold in any such small shops in Dubai and if so it could be a fake or counterfeit product as mentioned by you. I know the distributors in UAE and the Suppliers of all those Brands has got Offices in Dubai so there is no question of such items being sold in small shops. They are available only in the major shopping malls of UAE. All of them really cares the image.

If they are sold in dodgy little shops at low prices, then they are fake or very old.

If you want quality, you have to pay the price.

Cherukkan is right. You will not get branded cosmetics at discounted rates here except during the sales at retailers

Yesterday you were asking about branded Perfumes. Today it is make up and for your information branded cosmetics like Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, Lancome etc. are not sold in small shops or in the souqs. If you are looking for a mass brand like Rimmel, Bourjois etc. you can get it from Lulu Hypermarket. If you are looking for Branded items you must pay the full price in the showrooms like Faces, Salam, 4U, Pari Gallery, 51 East, Sephora etc.

Could you please tell me which shops in UAE are selling those brands you mentioned at 30% cheaper?
