Artdeco prices in Iraq are rarely the same in two places. This week the gap is wider than usual: on the five products below, the most expensive store charges at least double what the cheapest store charges for the exact same item. If you are restocking your makeup bag or your skincare shelf, this is the week to compare before you buy.
We compared live listings from Iraqi online stores and beauty retailers on TajPrice for the week of October 2 to October 9, 2026, and ranked Artdeco products by cross-store price spread, meaning the percentage difference between the lowest and the highest listed price. Here is what came out on top.
What you could save this week Buy all five items at their best listed prices instead of their highest listed prices and roughly 59,300 IQD stays in your pocket. That is not a marketing number, it is simply the sum of the individual gaps, and it is the main reason a two-minute comparison is worth your time.
1) The widest gap of the week: 140%
Artdeco Eye Brow Pencil - No2
Best price: 5,000 IQD. Highest seen: 12,000 IQD. Stores compared: 4. Maximum saving: 7,000 IQD.
This has the biggest price difference on the entire list. The cheapest listing costs less than half of the most expensive one, and the gap itself, 7,000 IQD, is larger than the lowest price. For a daily-use item like this, with precise application, easy handling and a natural finish, the difference adds up fast because you replace it every few months. If shade No2 is your shade, check all four stores before buying, and confirm the shade and authenticity with the seller.
2) Second-biggest gap: 137.5%
Artdeco Plumping Lip Fluid
Best price: 8,000 IQD. Highest seen: 19,000 IQD. Stores compared: 5. Maximum saving: 11,000 IQD.
Five stores carry it, which means five prices to check and the most room to choose well. A lightweight, hydrating formula with a glossy finish works for everyday wear and for a night out. Paying 19,000 IQD when another store lists the same product at 8,000 IQD is exactly the kind of purchase regret that comparing prevents.
3) Third place: 133.3%
Artdeco Blush Stick
Best price: 9,000 IQD. Highest seen: 21,000 IQD. Stores compared: 5. Maximum saving: 12,000 IQD.
This is the largest cash saving among the makeup items on the list. The creamy, buildable formula blends easily and is handy for touch-ups during the day. Keep in mind that cream formulas do not last as long as powders once opened, so buying at the lowest price beats buying two at once.
4) Fourth place: 123.5%
Artdeco Mat Passion Lip Fluid - 6ml
Best price: 8,500 IQD. Highest seen: 19,000 IQD. Stores compared: 6. Maximum saving: 10,500 IQD.
Six stores stock this 6 ml matte liquid lip, the widest availability on the list, which makes the price gap even more surprising. At the low end you pay about 1,417 IQD per millilitre. At the high end you pay about 3,167 IQD per millilitre. Same size, more than double the price per ml. If you like intense colour with a comfortable matte finish, this is a clear candidate for comparison shopping.
5) The biggest saving in dinars: 97.9%
Artdeco Smoothing Tonic with Hamamelis Extract
Best price: 19,200 IQD. Highest seen: 38,000 IQD. Stores compared: 4. Maximum saving: 18,800 IQD.
The percentage spread here is the smallest on the list, but the cash difference is the largest: 18,800 IQD, almost the price of a second bottle. The witch hazel and calcium formula is a gentle daily tonic that cleanses without stripping the skin's moisture, so most people buy it again and again. Skincare is often the category where shoppers overpay without noticing, because the bottles look identical on every shelf. Check the label and the expiry date, then check the price.
How to read these numbers Delivery changes the math. The cheapest listed price plus delivery can end up higher than a nearby store, so compare the final total, not just the sticker price. Compare unit prices. For liquids, work out the price per ml instead of the total, especially when sizes differ. Check shade and stock. No2 and the 6 ml size sell out fastest at the cheaper stores, so confirm availability before you plan a trip. Prices move weekly. A 140% spread can close in a few days, so buy when the low price is actually live. Check the seller. The lowest price is not a win if the product is not genuine or delivery takes weeks.
Bottom line Artdeco is a brand where Iraqi shoppers can save real money without waiting for a sale, because the savings are already sitting in the price difference between stores. This week that difference ranges from 7,000 IQD on a brow pencil to 18,800 IQD on a toner. Compare the listing, check the seller, and keep the change. We update this list every week.
