TajPrice weekly update: October 26 – November 2, 2026
The Balm is a favorite among Iraqi shoppers who want playful packaging, long-wear matte lips, and glossy finishes without luxury markups. This week we compared prices across multiple Iraqi stores for the most stocked The Balm lip products. All prices are in Iraqi dinars (IQD) and reflect the best available price we found during this week. When a product is available at more stores, it is easier to compare shades and restock. When the price spread is wide, it pays to check more than one retailer before buying.

Final buying tips: For products with price spreads above 20% (items 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10), compare at least two stores. For lower spreads (items 1, 7, and 8), focus on shade availability and stock rather than chasing a tiny difference. Mini kits are a budget-friendly way to test The Balm formulas before buying full-size lipsticks. Always check TajPrice before you shop because prices and stock can change during the week. All prices are in IQD.
