If you’re going to Europe, DON’T skip dm. 🇪🇺✨
One of the things I miss most after spending 5 weeks in Croatia is shopping at dm. 😭 I went almost every single day. If you’ve never been, imagine a mix of Target, Ulta, and CVS—but cleaner, organized, affordable, and packed with amazing European beauty brands.
I was honestly shocked by the quality. Most of these products were only a few euros, but they perform like products that cost 3-5x more in the U.S. Many even remind me of popular American brands, but without the high price tag.
Here’s what I picked up:
💙 Balea Hydrogel Eye Patches – Cooling, hydrating, and perfect before makeup. They leave my under-eyes looking less puffy.
💗 Balea Lip Mask – Super moisturizing and smells amazing. Great overnight or before lipstick.
🌸 Balea Hydrogel Eye Patches (Pink) – Brightening and refreshing. I love keeping these in the fridge.
🌈 Balea Hydrogel Eye Patches (Blue) – My favorite for tired eyes after traveling.
💧 Balea Aqua Eye Roll-On – Instantly cools under the eyes and helps wake me up in the mornings.
🧼 Balea Charcoal Peel-Off Mask – Leaves my skin feeling extra clean without being too harsh.
🌿 Alverde Sensitive Face Wash – Gentle, fragrance-free, and perfect if your skin gets irritated easily.
🩷 Balea Cleansing Wipes – Soft, doesn’t dry out my skin, and remove makeup surprisingly well.
🍓 Balea Volume Powder – Gives my hair extra lift without making it feel sticky.
💄 Lip balm (Melem)– Easy to throw in my purse and keeps my lips hydrated.
🤎 Trending Brooks Bronzing Drops – Excited to try these! They looked like a great affordable alternative to viral bronzing drops.
✨ Aura “Night” Eyeshadow Quad – Such pretty neutral shades with a gorgeous shimmer.
Overall, Balea has officially become one of my favorite drugstore beauty brands. Affordable, effective, and honestly so underrated. I already can’t wait to go back and stock up again. 🇩🇪🤍🇭🇷
