Hey Everyone! I'm back too. lol It's been a while I've been busy with school and then got a lil sick but now I'm betta!
I hope this can help you out Shaista1985.
So for style warriors..I initially had planned on getting 3 items.
Brave New Bronze lipstick, Bright Future (yellow e/s) and Purple Rite Lipstick
I ended up getting Purple Rite lipstick. I find it unique and I don't have anything similar to it. Brave New Bronze looks similar to my other nude lippies so I passed it. As for Bright Future eyeshadow, I wasn't impressed by the colour pay off so I decided I'll just get Bright Sunshine pro pan from the pro store later on if I ever want a decent vibrant yellow shade.The solar bits look pretty cool too but are messy to work with. Impassioned is just gorgeous! I've noticed people just end up pressing them. As for Bronzers and blushes...I already have Refined Golden and Eversun blush. Both are great to have as well. So at the end...I think Purple Rite lipstick is the star of the Style Warriors.
I normally don't like frosty lipsticks but this one is a gorgeous lavender shade and lately, I've been DIGGIN lavender/purplish shades especially for LIPPIES! It started with Up the Amp, Lavender Whip, Fashion Mews and now Purple Rite!

I think there are more than one sephora stores in dubai.. The one I went to did not have urban decay/too faced as I went particularly to find the primer potion. To add to nunu's list they have a pretty good stock of NARS and smashbox and also the sephora brand which is worth checking out.
If you want Urban Decay and MUFE check out the Bur Juman Mall.. Sorry but I cant remember the name of the store but its in the New part of the mall. The same mall has a MAC pro store but dont miss out on the MAC at dubai duty free. HTH!

Yes you can B2M in any MAC store in Dubai but not at duty free. Sorry no CCO in Dubai! I suggest you buy your pro-items in the store and purchase your other stuff at duty free (especially brushes which are considerably cheaper at duty free).

Am about to get some NARS blushers and have my sights on (I already have Orgasam & Torrid):
~ Taos
~ Luster
~ Cactus Flower (cream)
~ Gueule de Nuit (cream)
but am torn between Dolce Vita and Outlaw... Appreciate if anyone can tell me which is better - DV or Outlaw? Any other recs on what I should get? I am MAC Studio Tech NC35 with warm undertones.
Thanks a bunch,
K.

I personally like Dolce Vita way more than Outlaw. DV is matte, Outlaw has some shimmer. Also, DV is a tad darker than Outlaw as well.

Welcome back guys. I agree with zerin, the purple rite lipstick is a definite must. I too had intention of buying the yellow shadow but if you mix goldmine and chrome yellow it looks exactly the same. I ended up getting two of the blushes because I didn't have eversun (which is a must have IMO) and on a mission which is like a matte version of stark naked kind of. I had to get because i am on a crazy blush craze.
