Although its name conjures up images of an elegant young Parisian couple passionately French kissing and, when they eventually come up for air, her lips are still perfectly painted and he doesn’t have any signs of lipstick stains anywhere; this is actually a Milanese cosmetics company. The Italians are equally famed for their style, so it’s slightly odd that it’s not named ‘È Amore’ (or something like that), but national differences aside, if you get your mitts on its funky make-up you’ll soon be oozing model-esque confidence.

The bright pink shop interior will appeal to teenagers through to women in their twenties (and those in their botoxed thirties), with pricing to suit the younger wallets; you can pick up a nail polish for Dhs35. Apart from the excellent make-up range, you can also indulge in retro fizzy raspberry, lime crush or pineapple bubble baths or bath bombs handmade by Bomb Cosmetics in Dorset.
