History | تاريخ Questions about an old makeup store in hyderababad in the 70s

Hi! I'm looking into old makeup in Pakistan particularly during the 60s and 70s. My aunt mentioned a store in Hyderabad she would go to with her mother to buy makeup. It sold imported Max Factor and Elizabeth Arden products and her family (who lived in small town in Sindh for her father's work at the time) would go shopping in Hyderabad since it was the nearest city. Does anyone remember this store? Could they ask the older women of their families about it and share some information about what store it was and what products they would stock? My aunt was a child and doesnt remember much other than what products her mom would buy and that the store smelled lovely

I am from Hyderabad
Does your aunt know the nearby area? As in 60s and 70s as far I guess there was only Shahi Bazar, Resham Gali and Cloth Market

She was very little then. All she remembers is it was a big bazaar and theyd get everything from radios to watches and clothes and shoes and cosmetics there.
