Hello everyone! And here I am! With yet another shopping haul blog! A shopaholic never stops, does she? Yeah, pretty much! Okay so The annual Global Village is here and it's practically my MOST FAVORITE shopping destination, so you really didn't think I was going to hold myself back, were you?
Global Village is basically an annual fair sort-of-a-thingy, where there are pavilions of countries all over the world and there are rides (like massive ones) and gigantic food courts and contests and stage performances, the whole lot! It's my absolute Favorite. I love visiting it every year and doing tons and tons of shopping. Its got an entrance fee of 15 dirhams and you can shop, play, eat, drink, dance and have fun as long as you want! Good deal, eh?
So first I'm going to show you the photos that I happened to click when I was there, here goes!
First up, I headed to the USA! Woohoo Yeah! It's a first, 'cause America has never participated in the Global Village before, so I was heaps excited!
The dresses were just gorgeous! I mean so beautiful!! I noticed that sheer laces, nets and floral patterns are very 'in' right now. And of course, I couldn't hold myself back, so I bought an off-white and deep red full-length dress for moi, (sadly its not in the picture) but its just beautiful! I can't wait to try it on! The were tonnes of stores to select from and I had a really hard time choosing! Sadly there was no E.L.F. store as I'd expected... What does a girl have to do get her hands on 1$ makeup if she doesn't live in US!? Ugh! :(
After that I had a slight detour to Yemen and Istanbul. As you can see, it turned pretty dark after I had ventured myself through the complete United States of America! Heehee!
Next up was India, Thailand, China, Pakistan...
Check out these cute covers I saw at Thailand!
And then off to Europe! Where I visited Italy, Germany and , my LOVE....... London!!
So there I had my ultimate fangirling moment when I saw TONS and TONS of One Direction merch! Like THANK YOU God for letting me see this day where I see 1D in abundance in Dubai, a million miles away from UK.
And at London, I had a massive makeup haul! YAYSIEES!
So first I bought two heart shaped mini lipgloss, they were for 5 dirhams, yep, pretty cheap!
Next up, a plumping lipgloss from Wet N Wild, its the transparent one, I think it was for...err...12 or 15 dirhams.. I can't really remember... :(
Then from Max Factor, I purchased a trio eyeshadow, I'm sorry but I completely can't remember the shade name or its price, and I've already put it somewhere so I'll tell you the deets probably when I do a review about it! Also I bought the Max Factor Smokey Eye Effect Eyeshadow Pen in the shade Indigo Mist for 30 dirhams. That...was quite some money for a small product. I can't believe I actually shelled out that much on just an eyeshadow... Oh well!
And the rest of the stuff I bought was Nivea 'cause that was the product which was in abundance at the store. Here's the break-up:
A pair of Nivea Beauty Lift Foundation in the shade 050 Apricot. It cost me 20 dirhams each and that's definitely a bargain considering it's foundation! I love the packaging! I'll be doing a review on these Nivea products soon!
Two Nivea Volume Shine lipgloss tubes. Each for...errr...! Damn it! I have a habit of buying and buying makeup but I never seem to remember how much they cost me! :( Sorrieee!!!
Two Nivea Lipglosses (one of them is double-ended) they are such LOVELY colors!! Each was for 15 dirhams I think.
A Nivea Kajal pencil in the shade Black. Well, I have a million black liners in my vanity but a girl can never have too many black eyeliners, can she?
Nivea Eyeshadow by Chantal Thomas. Its a lovely shade of deep purple, but I still haven't tried it on so no idea about it's pigmentation.
And lastly Nivea Lipstick for 30 - 35 dirhams. My mum picked this up for me so I have no idea what shade it is in. Will let you know in my review post!!
That's it from me guys, I'll see you next time as I continue travelling, shopping and having fun all over Dubai! Till then...
