Can you buy bare minerals make-up anywhere other than Sephora?

I want to purchase a Bare Minerals Starter Kit in "Fair". After a thread on here a couple of weeks ago, I went and tried some and it's lovely. Unfortunately neither of the Sephora shops (Dubai Mall or MoE) stock the starter kit in the colour "Fair". I don't want to buy each piece seperately, that would cost too much.

The Bare Minerals website doesn't ship to Dubai.
It's available on Amazon but they don't ship to Dubai.

Does anyone know of any other retailers of Bare Minerals Makeup in Dubai I could call on?
Or any other bright ideas of how to get the kit in the correct colour for my skin? They wouldn't switch any of the contents in the shops...
Thanks

Also, mark the items as gift so monetary receipts aren't attached and you don't have to pay import duty. Yes good point!

Is this what you're after? http://arabicen.strawberrynet.com/makeup/bare-escentuals/100--pure-bareminerals-get-started/92109/ That's it! Do they ship to the UAE, I wonder? Will have to go in and look when I have longer than a few seconds. Thanks so much!

Good idea - might do the pricing once kids are in bed and I can concentrate. THanks so much for that tip about making it a "gift". I would never have known that.

Too bad about the shade not being available on either site! Maybe buying separates might be cheaper on the website? Good luck.

Yes they do. I ordered a ghd straightener a while ago (MUCH cheaper than here) and it was delivered to my husband's office PO Box (so technically to his office building). I think it you have a personal PO Box (i.e. just a small mailbox), any large items go straight to the Karama Post Office and you get a slip in your mailbox telling you to collect it from there. Also, mark the items as gift so monetary receipts aren't attached and you don't have to pay import duty.

Fatzak, what a shame - neither of those sellers have the kit in Fair. They have it in Light, but the light shade has too much yellow in it for my skin. Thanks for trying. SaintLouismama - thanks - yes, Dh was talking about Shop and Ship the other day. I guess sooner or later we are going to have to sign up if we want to buy anything online. Thanks for the prod. <em>edited by IWOM on 10/10/2011</em>

Thanks. Tried ebay too. There were a couple with teh right shade on there but they don't ship to the Middle East. Kelly - agree. When they realised they didn't have any fair kits they tried to sell me a medium or something. So much for "brand integrity" ppft! Make-up shop in Dubai Marina Mall? Never been to that Mall, maybe this is the excuse to go... Just looked on their website could it be either of these: Areej or Pace E Luce Beauty Salon? And yes, it does seem quite expensive to purchase from Sephora - 390 Dh for the kit. But I'd buy it knowing I'd get it a lot faster and no delivery costs... <em>edited by IWOM on 10/10/2011</em>
