Empties│Skincare, makeup, hair care

Hi everyone!

Today, I'm bringing you an Empties post; a rundown of products I've used up lately. There is a bit of everything; makeup, skincare, body care & hair care. I will brieflytell you something about each product and whether I would repurchase and why. Let's start with the makeup bit, shall we?

Unboxing│DM box

Hello there everyone!

Today's post is about the first DM beauty box available in the Czech Republic. I quite enjoy browsing through DM (which is a German drugstore chain) aisles so I thought why not to try it out. The price was also lower than other beauty boxes so there was really no harm in it.
The system is a little different than your regular subscription box. You have to send an e-mail to confirm you're interested in this box, and only limited number of people are sent e-mails they've been chosen (I think it was every third person, 2000 people max -- but I'm not really sure).

Let's dive in, shall we!

1. Rexona Maximum Protection antiperspirant in Confidence│2. Sundance tinted moisturizer/sunscreen with SPF 30│3. Dermacol Aroma Ritual Juicy shower gel in Rhubarb & Strawberry│4. Garnier Oil Beauty body lotion│5. Balea After Sun 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner│6. Colgate Max White One Optic toothpaste│7. Rimmel 60 Seconds nailpolish by Rita Ora in Don't Be Shy│8.,9.,10. Schwarzkopf Essence Ultime Repair shampoo, Weleda body lotion, and Ria tampons samples

I have to say I'm overall pretty impressed. This Rexona one is my antiperspirant of choice (although I'm sure the ingredients are not the friendliest ones, it works wonderfully on me), and it isn't exactly the cheapest one out there, so it's really great to have a new one when I run out of mine. I've worn the Sundance sunscreen two times now and I'm liking the fact that it has light coverage and high SPF - ideal for Summer. I love the smell of this Dermacol shower gel, too! I was in need of a new body moisturizer so this Garnier one really comes in handy. It smells quite subtle, sinks in well and really does the job. The Balea shampoo also looks quite practical for Summer, since it's supposed to protect your hair from UV rays and to help to get rid of sand/chlorine/seasalt residue in your hair. I'll let you know how it is! The Colgate toothpaste might be quite unattractive in a box for someone, but since I've wanted to try this one out myself, it's no problem at all to me! The Rimmel nail polish  is in a pretty fuchsia shade. I haven't tried it yet, it looks quite pretty for Summer, too, though.

In summary, I'm glad I was one of the people who got to buy this box. I think it's really good value for money (for example, only the antiperspirant is the same price as the box was) and filled with cool things for the Summer that everyone can get some use out of!

Do you have DM in your country? Can you get the DM box there? What are your thoughts on this one?
Hope you enjoyed this post, and see you soon!

New in│Drugstore mix + little info in Czech

Hi guys! I know I haven't been aruond much, but at first, I was busy with life /again/ and then the exams started so...you know how it goes. Anyway, here is a quite boring drugstore mini haul and I promise you that the next post will be more interesting!

I want to try to lighten my hair again after a year and something of not dying it (except for semi-permanent dyes) and I liked this colour plus it was on sale so I got two boxes for one prize, so I hope it's decent!
Also I needed some facial wash, hence the Balea one. I liked the pink packaging and it was pretty cheap, so if it doesn't turn out to be good for me, I'll just pass it on or throw it away without feeling all too guilty.
On to the Catrice products. I've really liked Catrice lately, so I decided to give these a try. I can always a good brow product and don't have any tinted brow gels in my collection, so I got this brown one. Waterproof eyeliner is a thing I use almost at daily basis and I wanted to switch from my regular Essence one (which is great but I need some change in my life, do you feel me?). The last product is a thing I've been on a hunt for like, forever. I tried it once now and it seems pretty good for using on my waterline, yay!
The last thing I got are those two flapjacks, originally, I didn't want to include them but the packaging is too cute!

Hope everyone's had great Christmas! Also, is you're in the middle of exam term /like me/, good luck to you all and see you later!

P.S. Pro holky, vyskytující se v Praze; v přízemí Debenhams na Václaváku je poměrně nově /alespoň podle mě.?/ Douglas, a hned u vchodu je hrozně nenápadnej regál Nyx, což jsem teda uz nás nikde jinde neviděla. Včera vypadal dost vybraně, ale pro mě to byl zajímavej objev :) A měli krásně světlý makeupy!

New in│Drugstore buys

Hi people! I've been so busy with life I had no time to blog. I'm gonna write about some of that later, though, now onto some on-a-tighter-budget drugstore buys!

I was in fact on a hunt for a nice smelling body care product and as soon as I took a sniff of the Balea cocoa body butter, I was sold. It reminds me of The Body Shop's Chocomania range! The choice of conditioner was kind of a spur of the moment and I must say that so far it didn't impress me. It's not bad but nothing awesome. If there's something I definitely DON'T need, it's lippies. Anyway, I got 190 The Nuder The Better by Catrice and 01 Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate. The nailpolishes were on sale and they are 405 Rose Libertine by Rimmel, a very pretty retro-ish coral/pink shade, and Mistero Grey by Gabriella Salvete, a sparkle bomb with a sandy finish. The last thing I got is an eyeshadow duo by Dermacol I intend to carry around in my makeup bag for touch-ups and emergency cases.

What have you bought lately? Do you buy drugstore cosmetics?

Have a lovely evening!
