Bazaar Arabia has compiled 5 products that are near-impossible to get your hands on… 5 Of The Most Difficult Beauty Products To Get Your Hands On Rare Beauty Eau De Perfume and Layering Balm Ever since the brand's launch a few years ago, Rare Beauty has dominated makeup bags around the world, and now it plans to take over your perfume drawer. Launched just a few days ago through a brilliant marketing run, Rare Eau de Parfum is a lush blend of sweet vanilla, creamy caramel, and spicy sandalwood, packaged in a bottle that is easily accessible to those with mobility issues. The parfum can be paired with the brand's most original product yet – the layering balm, available in a variety of scents, ranging from woody oak to floral bergamot, this innovative idea has encouraged fans to mix, match, and create their own unique fragrances. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez (@rarebeauty) Huda Beauty Easy Bake Powder Yes, its been a best seller for years, but thanks to a new era of TikTok beauty tutorials, this iconic setting powder has been catapulted to new heights of fame, and once again Huda's Easy Bake has become nearly impossible to track down in its most popular shades. Lightweight yet blurring, it locks makeup in place from morning majlis to midnight events. A Dubai-born staple that's become a global phenomenon and proof that some viral hits have true staying power. View this post on Instagram A post shared by HUDA BEAUTY (@hudabeauty) Summer Fridays Blush Butter Balm The darling of clean beauty trends strikes once again. Summer Fridays' Butter Blush Balm is exactly what it sounds like — buttery, blending, and buildable, melting into skin with zero patchiness. The shades flatter every undertone, and the packaging is impossibly chic in your makeup pouch. Beauty editors recommend applying it high on the cheeks for that effortlessly sunlit look, which explains why influencers from LA to Beirut are fighting for the restock. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Summer Fridays (@summerfridays) Haus Labs Triclone™ Foundation Lady Gaga's Haus Labs has done what few celebrity brands manage: release a complexion product that professionals and casual beauty lovers swear by. This foundation, powered by fermented arnica and a biomimicry technology that adapts to skin, delivers that elusive 'real skin, but better' finish. It's transfer-resistant yet feather-light, and works in Dubai's humidity just as beautifully as it does in Paris in the fall. Good luck finding your shade — it's sold out almost everywhere. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Haus Labs by Lady Gaga (@hauslabs) About Face Matte Fix Lip Plump Halsey's beauty brand, About Face, already has a cult following for its pigment pay-offs, but the Matte Fix Lip Plump is the fan favourite. Notable for its iconic blurred matte finish, this lip plump manages to stay on all day without a breeze, which is why every drop sells out faster than concert tickets – and that's saying something.
