Current sale in UAE shops

Just a quick post as I was lucky enough to visit at least 3 malls over the weekend. And here are the shops that are still on sale right now:

Tchibo is a shop in UAE that offers affordable clothing and household items and they are still on sale. They are offering 30% off on clothing items.

While Centrepoint/Splash is having a clearance sale. Meaning everything must go. Old collections of clothing.

And in Outlet Mall almost all the shops are having a massive discount too! So if you need anything this is the right time to purchase. And I can't say prices will still be the same in the years to come. It might be the last year that we all can enjoy this kind of sale.

That's all for now. Ciao!

Byphasse + Evoluderm Haul at Tati Shop

Last Friday I visited the Tati Shop in Mirdif City Centre. For those who doesn't know Tati, it is a department store from France that carries affordable clothing. Admittedly my first impression with anything about France is associated with the word expensive. Only now that the impression is shifting. France just like any other countries in the world has expensive and dirt cheap products. But for me not all items from Tati are really dirt cheap not unless they are on sale. And they happened to be on sale when  I went to their shop.  But if you will compare their price range with other brands coming from France then they are definitely affordable. Tati carries not only clothing items they also have make up (Modelite Makeup) and skin care products. As of skin care they do have Byphasse which is a brand from Spain or a collaboration between Spain and France. And also Evoluderm. Evoluderm is a another French brand of affordable cosmetics. I wanted to pick up some shirts that costs only 9.00AED but I had to choose what I need urgently? Couple of new shirts or cosmetics? It is the latter. I can't afford to have both anyways. So here's my haul from Tati shop consists of Byphasse and Evoluderm:

Price range from 9AED to 18AED. Afterwards I went to Carrefour to compare prices with other French brands like LCS and Nectar of Nature to be sure that I really got a good deal. Byphasse and Evoluderm normally carries the biggest size. So seeing 500ML is very common in them. It is now summer in the UAE and my skin becomes drier that I consume a lot of creams. I used to be a fan of some expensive brands but not anymore since whatever the price range is both can do the same job.

Prices for those who wants to know:
Byphasse Hair Mask ~ 18.00AED
Byphasse Baby Cleansing Lotion ~ 11.00AED
Byphasse Gel Wash ~ 14.00AED
Byphasse Hand Cream ~ 9.00AED
But please bear in mind that these are sale prices. If they are not on sale there's a price difference between 2AED to 5AED. And for us who are in a tight budget this matters.

Evoluderm Hand Cream ~ 9.00AED
Evoluderm Lotion ~ 12.00AED
As of the quality they are good enough. I mean nothing extraordinary that will blow your mind but not bad either. For example the lotion will moisturize you enough but nothing extra like it will whiten your skin or something like that. Or will work as anti aging and the likes. But at least they don't have empty promises. The only downside is Evoluderm and Byphasse has a lot of products to offer but then in the UAE market it is quite limited. I hope Tati UAE can just bring them all. And I'm willing to try them all. That's all for now. Thanks for dropping by. I will write a separate posts full of photos as soon as my time will allow me to do so. Ciao!

Unbelievable discounted clothes at Splash in Dubai Outlet Mall

I thought since Ramadan means less work timings, more time to do other things. Nay! In fact it's busier than ever whether at work or at home. Just sharing before I go ahead to write what is this post is about. Does the shop named Splash ring a bell? Well even if you are in UAE and you don't know Splash I don't blame you. There is a shop in some City Centres called Centrepoint and it carries Lifestyle, Beautybay and Splash. But in some other malls the said shops are stand alone. Just like in Dubai Outlet Mall.

Dubai Outlet Mall is another mall that is located near to Al Ain. Meaning that is the farthest  mall in Dubai. It is in the middle of nowhere. I don't see nearby establishments. Not much public transportation. Taking a taxi would cost a lot. But this mall is popular for having items at cheaper price if you are to compare with other malls. Downside? They might not have your size. Items are usually from the last season. Not updated. For those who cares. But since I am not a fashionista. I don't follow the latest trend then this mall is heaven for me.

3rd week of June and it seems like the Dubai Summer Sale was over in most malls. So me and my special someone decided to visit Dubai Outlet Mall and it boggles me how come they still have an ongoing offers when the DSS is over? Just to set the record straight even though the prices in Dubai Outlet Mall are lower it can still go down when they have an offer or sale. Get my drift? I purchased far too many items from Splash as they have the best deal out of all the shops in that mall. And that is the information that I wanted to share. 

Lee Cooper is a British brand of clothing. Normally a Lee Cooper jeans would cost around 80 to 100+ AED at other branches of Splash/Centrepoint but in Dubai Outlet Mall you can get it for only 30AED. And since I always do window shopping I know that you will not get the same offer anywhere. And since they are having a promo you can avail the buy 5 get 2. That applies in all the clothes inside the shop. Not only to Lee Cooper. And not only to jeans. I even got some jeans for only 10AED and I repeat for only 10AED. And if you will question the quality well I had been buying items from Splash or Centrepoint since 2007. That pretty much speaks about the quality isn't it?

Kappa is an Italian brand of clothing. Sports wear. Their jogging pants would cost more than 100AED but in Dubai Outlet Mall I got mine for only 30AED and of course I grabbed the deal they are having. Shirts for only 5AED to 15AED. Blouses as well. Skirts too. Only a fellow 'kabayan' will understand shopping also for your loved ones back home to be send via cargo. I shopped not only for myself but for my family too. Will check them out again on my next payday. I could go on and on with this post but have to go now. Will try to share photos some other time. And lastly Splash is not the only store in Dubai Outlet Mall there are others that is also worth checking out.

Till next time. Ciao!

Tchibo Haul

Just want to share my haul for the month of May 2015. I was (and still) broke but then I can't help purchasing from Tchibo. They went on sale. 30% discount on clothing items. That sale happens once in a blue moon. I wanted to buy some sleepwear but it was out of budget so I settled for tights. Thermal tights for winter while cotton tights for summer. Actually it was not cotton. It is called Merino Wool. Price is a little higher than cotton but this material is better. Perfect for the summer in the UAE. That's all for now. Thanks for dropping by. Till my next haul again :)

Tchibo Socks

Another day. Another Tchibo post. Another socks. Haha. I'm writing this one to share to all where you can get the most affordable and durable socks in UAE. I'm not affiliated with Tchibo. One of the purposes of my blog is to share information about where you can shop items for a very affordable price. I had been shopping from Tchibo since 2014 and so far no complaints from me about the quality. That's all folks! Thanks for dropping by. Till next time.. 

Tchibo Cotton Tights

Tchibo Cotton Tights

Price: 29.00AED 2 pairs @ Tchibo

Other shops in UAE (Marks and Spencer, Debenhams, Centrepoint) do have cotton tights but I always buy it from Tchibo. This is not my first post about Tchibo so for those who have read the previous ones know by now that I love shopping at Tchibo as their prices are very affordable and so far haven't seen a shop that can beat that. I prefer cotton tights than the sheer stockings as this will last longer than the stockings which usually have runs that leaves you no choice but to throw it out after a few uses. Thermal tights for winter while cotton tights for summer. At least I can still rock those shorts and mini skirts. Without baring my legs :)

Tchibo Thermal Tights

Tchibo Thermal Tights

Price: 18.00AED @ Tchibo

Yes I know that it is still summer so why am I writing about thermal tights which you can only wear during winter? First of all I'm not sure if there are other shops where you can buy thermal tights. I have never seen one. Or am I not looking hard? Second, if ever that other shops offer it I doubt that it will be this affordable. Affordability. The main reason why I love to shop at Tchibo. And to answer the question why I am writing about it while it is still hot outside, last winter all Tchibo outlets I visited thermal tights were out of stock. Then lo and behold, this summer it becomes available. So it is safe to say that by winter and you need it.. it will be nowhere to be found. Better buy now than wait later. 

Daiso Foot and Hand Mask

Foot Mask and Hand Mask are 7.00AED each from Daiso. Will use it soon and will write a post about my feedback regarding these products. But the downside, in case that this turns out to be a good product it will be hard for me to buy them again. I don't know exactly what is going on in Daiso UAE. You'll find a product today then gone for good the next day.. 

Tchibo Thermal Tights

Tchibo is a shop that looks like a European counterpart of Daiso. But they don't sell all the cute stuff like Daiso does. This is one of my favorite shops in UAE as they sell affordable items. One of the items I got from them was this Tchibo Thermal Tights that cost only 19.00 AED each. I purchased this so I can wear again those shorts and mini skirts from yesteryears. UAE is not really that strict when it comes to clothing but then it is better to be safe than sorry. And at the same time to show respect as this is still a conservative country. On  the next photo shows the materials of this thermal tights.

I do admit, I don't know what to look for when it comes to thermal tights since I didn't grew up in a cold country. And besides, I didn't purchase it for the sake of keeping me warm as the winter here isn't really feels like 'winter'. Just feels bearable unlike the summer. I have chosen this as I think that it will last longer since it has a thicker material than my usual stockings that I need to throw after 2 uses as they will  likely have runs all over them. And I am posting this to let people know that there are still affordable items/shops in the UAE. From the frugal people like me. Until next time. Ciao!
