Go to one of the many Ajmal stores in most of the malls and get perfume oil dupes of your favourite perfume or just some of the lovely rose, jasmine ones etc. They do beautiful bottles and the scents last forever.

Otherwise they still have massive Sephora stores if you no longer have those near you here. And pop into a carrefour (or any other big supermarket) supermarket - in all the malls again!- and browse the toiletry aisles you get some lovely soaps and face masks for pittance. The Indian fuller''s earth (multani mitti) ones are lush, it's a clay powder that you mix with water and you only need a teaspoon at a time so again it really lasts. I usually add a drop of rose/tea tree/vitamin e oil too to jazz mine up.

Have a great trip!

Be prepared though - a lot of the brands that you will recognise from the UK are heavily marked up eg a lot more expensive.

I live in Dubai and always stock up on stuff in Boots whenever I am back in the UK!

Good point @PrimeraVez I was going to stock up on some Huda beauty but shes launching in Boots soom anyway so I'll just wait

Get into a pharmacy and get some retin A. Cheap as chips.

See what else you can get over the counter.

Also Lumigan for eyelashes (same active ingredient as Mylash). You can buy this over the counter. Just be careful and google it first as there are apparently side effects (but you will have the longest eyelashes!).
