Haul│NYX + Swatches (including a cat photo)

Hello, lovelies!
Last week, I made a wee shopping trip to NYX so I decided to write a cheeky little haul post. I was on a mission to buy a brow pomade and a cream highlight but I ended up with a couple of other things I'd been eyeing up for a hot minute as well.
For more photos, swatches & some thought -- read on. Hope you enjoy!

Super Seven│February

Hello there! So far keeping up with the Kardashians my promise to blog more! This one's going to be my February Favourites. I think I'll try to keep it at seven products a month, we'll see. Anyway, let's get cracking!

Pretty Places│Café Záhorský (Eliášova 1, Praha)

Hello everyone!

This article is a part of a new series I'll be trying to have here on PLT. I love discovering exciting new places as much as the next person and I'll be sharing them with you, as well as some of my all-time favourite ones. Let's start with a new one!

Life Lately│Gym clothes, food & books

Hello everyone!

Long time no see, right? I don't even know why, to be honest. I think it's a mix of two things; I didn't feel quite motivated to blog and so many changes were happening in the crazy shiz that is my life that blogging didn't even come to my mind, I guess.
Anyway,  not that my life is going to be much calmer now, it seems like quite the opposite, but I want to try harder and blog more. We'll see how that goes!
Finally, here are some snippets of my Life Lately; fashion (such as my new gym gear, yuss!), food (rice porridge made from chocolate flavoured coconut milk topped with fruit is my absolute favourite right now), books (I've fallen in LOVE with the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch. SO good. I might do a separate post about those soon.) and silly selfies with hats.

Hope you enjoy this post. What have you been doing lately?

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!
