Deal Alert: GAP Sale

One of my favorite stores, GAP is having a sale in their UAE stores. I checked out the deals last week and my favorite bright-colored denim skinnies that were seen during the Holiday 2012 show were on sale. And don’t forget to take your dad/boyfriend/brother along, the men’s section has some spectacular deals too!

Deal Alert: Mario Badescu on Gilt

If you haven’t yet checked on one of our featured shopping sites, Gilt.com, you definitely have a reason to tonight as they are running an exclusive deal on Mario Badescu products!

Favored by Jennifer Aniston and Eva Longoria, Mario Badescu is a cult favorite for US beauty bloggers. A few months back, Gilt had a similar sale and I ordered the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser, Glycolic Acid Toner, and the Drying Lotion.  I’ve been using the products for some time now and I can easily say the Toner and Drying Lotion are both must-haves.

The Glycolic Acid Toner is the first toner I’ve used that manages to tone and keep my skin looking matte all day while doing so without a burning irritation. The Drying Lotion is a godsend spot treatment for instant pimple relief. We’ll be doing in-depth reviews soon but highly suggest you test these products out for yourself.

Mumzworld – More than just mums

I’m a big, Big, BIG fan of online shopping. I miss the ease of online shopping found in the US/UK. My Aramex Shop’n'Ship account has been a godsend, but I do wish there were more local choices.

In recent times, e-commerce has picked up significantly in Dubai with both new players and big hitters setting up online portals (I highly recommend JadoPado for your Apple/Blackberry/gadget needs), but we still lack a powerhouse like Amazon in the region. That is why I was extremly excited to hear about Mumzworld.

Mumzworld calls itself the Middle East’s largest online shopping site for Everything Mother, Baby and Child. They currently have over 18,000 products and all the leading brands including Lego, Crayola, Barbie, and Mattel. Moreover, you get delivery within 2-3 days in the UAE and free delivery for all orders over 200 AED. Outside of the UAE? No worries, they promise to delivery within 7-10 days regionally as well.

So what can the average fashionista/beauty addict/Bollywood lover buy from Mumzworld? A lot! For starters they carry 2 amazing jewelery lines: Lovelinks and Sia Select. I purchased a beautiful necklace+earring set from Sia Select pre-Mumzworld but had to unfortunately coordinate cash payment and delivery myself. Thankfully that is all taken care via Mumzworld now.

They also carry a wide selection of beads, charms, necklaces and bracelets from Lovelinks.  They currently have a special deal going on where proceeds go to Breast Cancer Awareness, so support a great cause!

I couldn’t help buying the world edition of Monopoly last week. As a child, my parents always bought me “intellectual” games such as cardboard puzzles or mindbenders, but I decided to splurge in a classic board game.

Even if you aren’t a Mum, you can find plenty of things to keep your credit card busy. So check out the region’s newest shopping site and tell them Dollz sent you! You can also find them on Facebook and Twitter.

The Body Shop SALE

Good news beauty addicts, The Body Shop is having a sale in all its stores across the UAE. Everything is discounted at a minimum of 25% and some of the older products are available for a bargain at 40-50% off.

I picked up the Ginger Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, Rainforest Moisture Conditioner, Tea Tree Blemish Gel, Strawberry Body Butter, Cocoa Butter Cream Scrub, and a Nail Buffer Block.  Total for all these items? A very reasonable AED 200.
