Purchased at Centrepoint MCC
Made in UK

First let me start by saying that sometime between January to February 2016 Centrepoint discontinued selling the brand Dirty Works at their store. Not stores because I have seen it only at their branch in Mirdif City Centre. (What is up with Centrepoint anyway? They don't want to give their customers an option to choose ~ I mean for example UNE is available in MCC but not in other branches. Is MCC branch too important than others that they have almost all the brands their shop could offer? Hello, Ajman Branch do exists too in case they have forgotten. We have a limited choices here). And I don't know why they stopped selling this as they didn't offer any explanation thru their IG Account. I was only told that it will no longer be available. I found this last December as I was looking for a cheaper and better alternative to Victoria's Secret Deep Softening Body Butter which has been phased out so I really need a new brand of body butter. I have chosen Dirty Works as one look and it reminds me of Soap and Glory, another UK brand that happens to be soooo expensive. Yes, price was the main factor.  

It is not so hard to miss as this is a big tub of body butter and the light blue color is pleasing to the eyes. I should have taken a side by side photo of Dirty Works and a Soap and Glory product for you to understand why I said that this reminds me of the latter. I think its safe to say that maybe in UK this is a dupe for Soap and Glory? As I have said that brand is so expensive here in UAE. A tube of their body butter would cost 85AED. And really I don't believe that skin care or cosmetics should be that insanely expensive. And oh by the way I find the heart at the front tube of Dirty Works cute.

The lid of the tube and I have taken so many photos for this post ☺ Dirty Works has other products aside from Body Butter but since Centrepoint stopped selling them I never got the chance to try them. But who knows this brand just might pop up again next time in another vendor. Or if you are lucky enough to visit UK or have some family or friends coming from UK better to just get it from there. It could be much cheaper over there.

Shea Butter and Sweet Almond Oil ~ simple combination but it is love. Smells good and subtle. Took a photo of the ingredients for those who are keen to know. I don't really care as I'm no chemist therefore I won't understand it anyway. What matters to me are the price, availability, moisturizing enough, doesn't feel greasy and must smell great. Those are enough for me.

Dirty Works Supreme Cream Body Butter is my second brand of body butter after Victoria's Secret Deep Softening Body Butter both are body butter but with a very different consistency and thickness which makes me wonder why? And if Dirty Works should really be called body butter? It is more of a body cream to me than a body butter. But even so this is a great product if you feel like a body lotion is sort of off for you.

That would be all for now.
And I am currently cleaning the room and arranging my stuff. So I still have items that I can share with you in the next few weeks. Mostly are purchases I made between 2014 - 2015.

Minimalism and Frugal ~ it has nothing to do with Dirty Works Supreme Cream Body Butter. But I had been reading blogs and forums about these 2 subjects since last year. They are inspiring. I'm trying my best to be one. Key word is trying. Well as of being frugal I think it comes naturally when you are like me who comes from a poor family in a third world country. But I don't seem to be really that much frugal since late 2014 as I was into beauty products. I wanted to have a perfect skin that I was conned into buying useless products but at least I learned my lesson. But I can't say that I am living a truly minimalist life just yet. And I keep on working on that one. Hopefully one day I will be truly successful being one.

UPDATE: As of April 10, 2016
I saw this brand at Boots Pharmacy in Dubai. So it is still very much available in the UAE Market. And the prices is lower than Soap And Glory. Aside from Dirty Works another brand that is available at the said pharmacy is the Ted Baker. I was tempted to purchase Ted Baker Skin Care Products but good thing I was able to resist. I would give in only if I will see it on Buy 1 Take 1 promo.
