‘We could run out of make-up within days,’ warn Dubai influencers


Influencers across Dubai have warned that make-up supplies and beauty product are running low and could run out within days unless the Government acts now to replenish their dwindling stocks.


You Tube influencer Gemma from South London said the Government must step in to make sure beauty products and top brand merchandise can reach those that need it most.


‘This war could not have come at a worse time’ said Gemma…..’I’ve got a whole new range of Satin Kajal liquid eyeliner to promote and my internet connection could go down at any minute.


'The support we have had from the English Government has been woeful so far….It’s almost as if we influencers are irrelevant, of no importance….. It is terrible that people are dying….I get that. But I’m trying to sell leading brands of eye-liner and nail polish here….I can’t do that with bombs and guns lighting up the sky in the background of my You Tube feed.


'I’ve got 100,000 followers waiting to see me applying skin tone to my cheek bones later tonight…..I’ve got a new rich cool-toned product endorsed by Hollywood celebrities. Nobody wants to hear the sound of ambulance sirens and fire fighters drowning out my interview with Selena.


'Even everyday things like cotton wool are running low….those selfish people at the hospital are stock piling it all and making an influencers life virtually impossible.


'If it carries on like this for much longer I would like the Government to send a Gulfstream to get me and my two cats out of here.


'There are times when life can be so unfair’.






Though it may be optimistic to talk of Donald Trump’s staff ever being embarrassed, it’s safe to say they are annoyed at the leak of his plans for a proposed resort in Gaza. 


Mar-a-Gaza is described as a “luxury casino hotel complex”, catering for the type of super rich person who simply wants to be somewhere warm by the sea, and doesn’t really know or care where in the world it is.


The resort will also have excellent sporting facilities. Trump is said to have joked (we think?) that they could leave the Hamas tunnels in place to act as bunkers on the golf course. “You definitely don’t want your ball to end up there!” he quipped to sycophantic laughter.


Trump is also confident that the current difficulties getting in and out of Gaza would all be solved by opening day “thanks to my good friend Binyamin Netanyahu. No, my guests won’t have to wait in line in the sun for hours and be subject to humiliating body searches like the sandmonkeys. Not even when they’re Arabs - and believe me, those Saudi boys like to party when they’re away from home!”


Asked whether the indigenous population would simply be cleared out, Trump replied “No, not at first. I mean, we’ll need people to build the place, obviously.”


Critics of the plan have pointed out how culturally insensitive it is to build a hymn to Western excess and obscene decadence in the middle of the Muslim world, not to mention redundant since Dubai already exists.
