Summer in Dubai not only means uncomfortable scorching heat and sweaty foreheads, but also SUMMER SALES.
And to kick start the Dubai Summer Surprises offers, Grazia magazine teamed up with Bloomingdale's department store to host a beauty party with massive makeup trials, goodie bags and free Magnolia Bakery cupcakes.

Myself and fellow bloggers Mabel, Meho, Mariyah and Tina took this opportunity to catch up and talk clothes, shoes, and of course, take plenty of photos!
Reiss top / Philippines thrifted shirt / SM floral wedges / Reworked vintage clutch
Everyone was given the chance to test out the makeup in the whole department store and draw out our preferences. They later put them all up on display - it was like a kindergarten colouring contest for make up lovers!;) In the Little Brown Bag of goodies we received great products like Chanel mascara and Coco Rouge lipstick, salon and beauty bar vouchers and perfumes - I got Bvlgari and Mabel got Gucci! They definitely spoiled us so a big thanks goes to Bloomingdale's Dubai Mall and Grazia Middle East!
Me, Mabel and Meho with our little brown bags of treats!
Colourful rings and a red velvet cupcake. What more would you want in your hands?
My necklace was a custom made purchase from cbtscloset.com. I've mentioned her shop in a previous post and definitely recommend you check her out if you're after custom made jewelry! I love her to bits! She can make pretty much anything for you!
The bag was a birthday gift last year from my friend Karen from Sydney. Next time I'm in Sydney I will beg Karen to the shop that she bought it at!! It's a vintage purse which has been spraypainted with this beatbox design. It's my most awesomest and favourite purse. You should be very jealous.

UPDATE: The bag is from a Sydney Designer called Soto Smith - I probably should have realised this sooner, since there IS a tag inside the bag. But... here's their website: http://www.sotosmith.com/)
