Over the last weeks I went a bit shopping in the local drugstores and Kiko. Some of the things are limited but maybe you can still get them.


*Alverde Clear Face Serum (about 3€) repurchase, great product
*L'Oreal Nude Blur Cream (12€) read it was dupe to the porefessional from Benefit
*Balea Creme Oil shower Vanilla (about 1€) love the creme oil showers because the are very moisturizing
*Balea Enzyme Peeling (around 3€) been loving those products these days, this one is new at DM, excited to try it
*Rival de Loop young Base coat (about 1,50€) needed a new one and I never tried one of this brand
*Manhattan Hippie LE Lipsticks (about 3,50€) first I just had the purple rocker one but I was so impressed that I bought the other two colours too, I can definately recommend them
*Kiko Smart lipstick in (3,50€) my favorite Kiko lipsticks, I bouhgt this as a dupe to Red Ballon
*Kiko Revolutionary Burgundy long lasting eyeshadow (LE) (4€) I fell in love with the colour and they were on sale, I used it as an eyeliner so far, they are very very resistant and hold pefectly

*Balea Oil Repair Conditioner (1,45€) I needed a new one and this is a all time favorite.
*Garnier Hair Oil Spray (5€) looks pretty interesting so I will give it a try
*ebelin Maxi pads (65 cent)
*Rival de Loop Mango Face wipes (99 cent) I have my all time favorite but I thought mango might be nice as well, we shall see

*Kiko Blush (LE) in Pop Apricot (about 8€)
*Suddenly Diamonds parfume - Boss Orange Dupe (5€)

Empties #7


#Balea Professional Long and Beautiful Conditioner: Like all products from Balea professional I am liking this one as well. Nice smell, good price and good care. Would repurchase it.

#alverde Repair hair damage fluid*: I apply it after washing my hair on my dry ends. I love it and I think it helps pretty good to get rid of dry ends. Already repurchased.


#Balea Melon Tango Bodylotion (LE): I like the water melon smell but for me the bodylotion itself was a bit too liquid and not moisturizing enough. But I think it would be perfect for normal skin.

#Yves Rocher Lavender shower gel: I liked the smell. But I would not uy it on my own. Was a nice product but no repurchase.

#Balea Carambola Lambada (LE): Reminds me a lot of Happy by Nivea. I just love the summery smell of fruit. Would repurchase it but I like to vary my shower gels.


#Isana Med Cleansing wipes*: As usual. Love them.

#Lilibe Super soft cotton pads*: Also all time lovers.

#ebelin Maxi pads* (2 packages): Same here.


#Alverde Clear washin cream, SOS serum and face fluid*: Current skin care, very happy with it, all are already in use again.

#L'Oreal Skin Perfection Serum: I liked it as a Make up base and light day cream. But would not buy it again since there are cheaper options.

#Sebamed Eyecream Q10: Can absolutely recommend this one. Probably my favorite eye cream I tested so far. Will probably buy it again after I cleared my stock.


#Isana Med Deo: Very nice product. No alcohol and so aluminium salts. Would buy it again but I have quite some others to finish off first.

#P2 Keratin Base Coat and Remodell Base Coat: Both decent products. They are so thick and sticky that I just cannot use them anymore. Would repurchase but I change my basecoats a lot too.


#Cosmetics wipes Solo and Iseree: Finally my last package of Solo cosmetic wipes (Aldi North), I decided not to use them anymore because the Iseree (Lidl) ones are way better since they are not that thin. My other favorites are the today (Rewe) ones.




#Garnier Hair Oil Heat protect: Loved it but I just use a cheaper one right now. But I would recommend it.

#Alverde Clear toner*: Also true love and every day beauty product.

#Balea PH 5 Lotion*: Every day in use. Already repurchased.



#L'Oreal Age Defense Concealer 03 fair*: I lost the lid so I removed the sponge and used it up like this which actually is more hygenic and you do not need so much product. I really love the concealer and I have a new one in stock otherwise I would buy it again. But first I will finish m other open concealers.

#Satessa wet wipes: I like them to quickly remove make up from my hands etc. I have to say the ebelin ones were much better, and I will buy them again not the Satessa (Aldi) ones.

#Balea Colour Gloss 2 minute hairmask: I was not sure if I would include this here since it is not really empty. I used it once as a mask but it did not do anything for me so I decided after my conditioner went empty, to use it as a conditioner. It hjust dried my hair out even more. So decided to just throw it away. Would never buy this again. My first really disappointing hair product by Balea.

Empties #6



#L'Oreal Ever riche Shampoo & Conditioner: I liked the smell at first, it is very warm and kind of a wintery smell, but it started to annoy me after a few uses. The Shampoo is way to rich for me, I had to wash my hair a lot more often than with the Balea Shampoo. The Comditioner is fine but not better than the Balea ones for 65 cents. So all in all no rebuy here, what a waste of money.

#Balea Refreshing Shampoo: Especially after using the L'Oreal one I learned how much I love this one. Makes the hair light and fluffy and has a nice herbal scent. Already in my stock again.*

#Balea Silk Shine Conditioner: In general as good as all the other Balea conditioners but the smell was really not my thing. No rebuy of this exact smell but in general I will always be a fan of the Balea conditioners.

#Tony and Guy Leavi in Conditioner: I enjoyed using it very much, the smell is gorgeous but for it being kind of pricy I do not really see a huge difference to e.g. my Balea hair oil, so no rebuy for now. It lasted for quite a while I have to add.

#Gliss Kur Repair leave in spray: I like them so just fresh up my hair a bit or make a bit easier to comb through. I always vary with which one I bu at the moment I have the colour protect one. But in general always a rebuy.*

#Phyto 7: A very much hyped product I believe. Well I used it daily in dry hair before going to sleep and I think I noticed an improvement. Anyway I used it up quite quickly since my hair so so thick. Consodering the price this is very pricy if I need that much. So for now, no repurchase.



#Balea Shower gel with oil pearls apple blossom: A nice fresh smell, nice skin feel. Since I still have loads of shower stuff no rebuy but I might go for it again when I need one.

#The Body Shop Moringa shower gel: WHAT A SMELL! So levely enjoyed every use of it. But I would not really spend so much money on a shower gel, so unless it would be a gift, no new bottle will be in my ahower anytime soon. But if you don't mind the price, you should try it!

#Isana Body Mouse Bamboo milk and Lotus: I already emtied this before, so I still think it is a great moisturizing product. They don't have it in stores anymore but I hope they bring out the same product with a new smell.*

#Balea Pearl magic Bodylotion: A winter limited edition but the smell is not wintery it all. I love it so much. Lucky enough I could buy one more in a DM yesterday, they still had some winter products left!*

#Balea in Shower lotion for dry skin: Way better than Nivea, nice thick texture. I am currently using my DM box Nivea one but if I would have to buy one, would be this one.



#Rival de Loop waterproof Eye make up remover: Go to product. Always repurchase.*

#Isana Med face wipes: Same here. Holy grail.*


#La Roche Posay Toleriane: Nice product for non waterproof eye make up. But my Rival de Loop one works just fine as well and is way cheaper. No rebuy.

#Alverde SOS serum healing earth: So nice for applying on bad spots on my face. The next day I notice a huge improvement. Already repurchased.*

#Rival de Loop Fruit dream toner: Nice smell, very good for sensitive skin, I know they don't have it in stores anymore but there is a berry scented one now. I want to use up all my toners but afterwards I might come back to this brand.



#Catrice Infinite Matt Foundation 010: Love it! Already repurchased it, still I have to use up my open products first.*

#Borjouis Healthy Mix Serum 010: Also such a great product, sadly not available here i my part of Germany but I will buy it again as soon as I am in Poland or Czech Republic.

#Catrice the giant Mascara wp.: Makes a nice result. But I switched to the Rocket Volume by Maybelline, so no rebuy anymore.

#Maybelline The Falsies: One of the best Mascaras ever, if I ever need a new non waterpoof Mascara, I will buy this one.

#P2 Perfect face Base: Ok product, still have one back up, not in stores anymore.

#essence BTGN top coat: essence brought it back and I am so happy Best top coat.*




#Balea 3 blade disposable razors: I think they are the best disposable razors from a drugstore brand (Wilkonson is better) , since they are a lot safer than the 2 blade ones. Will surely rebuy them soon.*

#Lilibe Maxi Pads and Super soft cotton pads: The maxi pads were not very good, I do prefer the Dm ones. But the super soft ones are as you already know my favorites. Already in use again.

#Mexx Black Parfume: My favorite every day smell. Will buy it again soon, I am alreading saving payback points.

#Qtips: Say what you want those are the best. The cotton stays where it is supposed to. Already rebought.*

#Isana Nail polish remover with a sponge: So easy (except sand nailpolishes), love it. I might test the P2 one or the essence one soon.


#Isana Lotus and Bamboo milk hand soap: As you can see I loved this range. The soap did not disappoint as well, sadly I will not be able to repurchase it.


The left 2 ones are Iseree, the lilac one was supposed to be with smell but I did not smell anything. The general Iseree cosmetic tissues are my favorite. The lilibe ones were way too thin and the solo ones on the right as well. Since the hay fever season started it is very important for me that they are not too thin! So Iseree (Lidl brand) is the one!*

DM Box April + Latest Shopping Babies

So yesterday I picked up my DM Box for this month, the last for now, well I hope I am lucky and I will get another Abo. So that was my Box for this month


I love that there are so any different product categories covered. I have a use for almost everything, except the sun spray, I am a pale girl and need SPF 50+ and I react allergic on most sun protection products, but my parents sure will find a use for it. The febreeze room thing is already on my night stand and actually makes a nice scent. Compeed is always great, I really like them. I am also excited to try the warm wax. And well we all can use tooth paste right?


I visited a polish Douglas and got myself a Inglot Duo palette (ca 15 zł) and a nice taupe eyeshadow which reminded me of satin taupe (402) I think I will do a post with dupes. The eyeshadow was about 12 zł. Next visit in Poland I will buy the second one



Also my fyrinnae order arrived. I just looooove this brand. My first pressed eyeshadows are Hitched and Serendipity. And another 2 loose pigments Steampunk and Conjuror. As a free sample I got Cupcake frosting. There are some more pressed eyeshadows I really want. next order is probably not far away.
And some usual drugstore purchases, the new bodylotion of dove, the smell is just amazing! And a holo nail polish by RdL Young, I am really loving it.
