Sephora ,Dubai

I visited my brother to Dubai and my main excitement was to checkout Sephora . I had spent 1.5hrs in their and checked all the brands which are not available in India Fenty, tarte, nars, too faced , anastasia, etc .
I felt like a kid playing in a park . Those products were really outstanding quality wise . Each an every product I tested  had good pigments , coverage and price .

I had in mind what all things I was suppose to buy like tarte shape tape concealer which we don't get in Dubai instead tarte crease less concealer was there which was good but didn't pass creasless test. I also happened to check Laura Mercier setting powder and yes it was amazing the texture of it on my face felt good . I had walked a lot after testing and still had no sweat  under the eye even the concealer and Laura Mercier combination was good. 
I have a friend visiting me in 2nd week of October who will be bringing all my makeup stuff as yes makeup is cheap in USA compared to Dubai . Also with 8.25 % sales tax in USA and 7% VAT in Dubai the product prices are less in USA.
The most price difference I felt was on Anastasia products prices which are approximately 1000to 1500rs difference.
I just needed to know the correct shade to buy so I had to do this chindi chori 😂 of knowing the shade and then ordering my friend . As yes with those 1000 2000rs difference I would have purchased one extra product.
Makeup is very expensive . No doubt. If I start calculating this year being a beginner not professional and buying good products with drugstore I have spent more than 20k till now and the list of 'to buy' is endless.
But if my friend would not have planned to come to India I would have bought and spend extra money.
