There are also a number of hair and make-up tools, as well "fashion emergency" and "beauty solutions" categories that offer cheap and chic solutions for dressy events. GlamBeaute also stocks some pretty jewellery and baby care products. <strong>Payment options: </strong>Credit card and cash on delivery. <strong>Delivery time: </strong>GlamBeaute offers same-day and next-day delivery in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, for Dh50 (same-day) and Dh15 (next-day), depending on the time the order has been placed.
