Hey there 🙂 The last time I’ve written such a blog post was in January, sorry for that! After my injury in Berlin, I had to take some time to recover, but I’m back on track. Even though I didn’t upload my February and March favorites, this post is all about the products I’ve been using during the previous months. Luckily, I discovered so many new, amazing products lately, that became favorites 🙂 I bought so many things on DM drugstore in Berlin, due to the huge variety of cruelty-free, vegan & natural products. Everything there is so good and the prices are unbelievable. If it’s a thing that you’d want to hear and read all about my favorites from DM- let me know in the comments 🙂
And now, let’s start rambling about my favorite products!
Atlantic coat, New Yorker Prague
Did I mention how cold it was during my trip to Prague? If not, just to inform you- it was MINUS 18 degrees Celsius. I brought my warmest coat and thermals, but it just wasn’t enough. Luckily, I found a stunning vegan Atlantic coat in New-Yorker store on my first day in Prague, and it was on sale (the original price was 185$ and I paid only 40$). Such a great value for money- and for the best part- It kept me warm during the whole trip. Also, it has so many pockets, which are necessary for such cold weather, and a stylish fake-fur hood 🙂 I enjoyed it and sure I’ll use it again on my next trips.

Flat over the knee boots
My pair of flat, grey over the knee boots served me well on this trip, until the very last day. Unfortunately, the sole was ripped on the last day, but they have served me very well until then and kept my feet warm and comfy 🙂 I will definitely repurchase them. a huge favorite!

Matt and Nat crossbody bag
One of my greatest purchases lately. This bag has a super classic and has a minimal design, the color is super neutral- what makes it very easy to style. That’s why it became my most used bag. I couldn’t take it off ever since I bought it, the quality of it is amazing and the brand itself is gorgeous, cruelty-free, vegan and sustainable. Those facts make me love it even more 🙂 I will probably purchase more bags from this brand in the near future. Would you like to see a full review of this bag? Comment below to let me know.

Skincare favorites
Pacifica Coconut micellar tonic
Oh, this product… it’s like a dream in a bottle. I have been looking for a micellar water and toner for a long time and was very surprised to see this product which is 2-in-1. I ordered it and haven’t stopped using it (until it was empty… 🙁 ). The only problem is that it’s a bit expensive for what it is. I found a cheaper alternative for it in Berlin… hopefully, it works as good as this one!

Zabana Essentials Tamanu calendula healing & anti-blemish face balm
I received this product on my Petit Vour February box and told you how much I love it, it was my favorite product from that box 🙂 I still use it on my scar and on pimples and it helps a lot- it moisturizes the skin and helps it to heal, my scar is looking a bit better. It’s a must-have in every home. I will definitely repurchase it when I run out.

Jean & Len lip balm, coconut splash
Another thing I bought at Veganz supermarket (loved this vegan supermarket too much!). the design of this lip balm was the first thing that has driven me to buy it, but after smelling the wonderful coconut smell it has and seeing that it’s completely natural- a thing that is always important for me personally. Also, it has a great amount of product- 12g, so it’s like two regular lip-balms. love it and it had helped me a lot in the cold weather. If you used to be an EOS fan (which is NOT cruelty-free), you might like this one.

Haircare favorites
Argan oil
This one isn’t really a new favorite of mine- it’s more of a lifetime favorite! I’ve been using organic, pure argan oil since 2013, mostly on my scalp and hair, but since I’ve been in such cold climate I have been using it on my skin as well, mixed with my usual body cream. I have been ordering mine for years via Iherb, and recently started using the Kahina argan oil which was sent to me by Petit Vour- and it’s as good as this one with a prettier bottle

Urtekram Spray leave-in conditioner, coconut nectar
As I mentioned in my previous Petit Vour box review, I discovered my love to leave in conditioners in Berlin. This love story is quite sad actually. After my injury I couldn’t shower for 3 days, so I searched for hair product that will help me brush and de-tangle my hair so I won’t look even scarier – lol 🙂 During my visit in Veganz supermarket I found this leave-in conditioner and was so so happy- it helped me and made me feel so much better. I’m still using it- after the shower (after using my argan oil), also in the mornings, it makes my hair feel so soft and leaves a wonderful coconut scent behind.

Makeup favorites
Pacifica lipgloss, Nudist
As the weather gets warmer, I tend to use lipglosses more- they just look so much better during this time of year! This Pacifica lipgloss was the first lipgloss that I’ve ever used. I LOVE how it feels on my lips, I love the pigment and the lovely natural-peachy color of it and I LOVE the coconutty smell of it, as always with Pacifica products (omg so much coconut smelling products today! lol)

Alverde multi shimmer blush, Lovely Rose
This product must be in the top-5 purchases from DM. Alverde is their home brand and this shimmery blush it SO ME! it has such a beautiful glow-from-within kind of glow that I like SO much and the color of it is amazing. Since I bought it I haven’t been using other blushes or highlighters- it’s 2-in-1, and it’s my favorite blush/highlighter. I use it every single day and it makes me so happy 🙂 Unfortunately it’s a limited collection product and I hope I’ll be able to put my hands on it again, so if you have DM near your house- go and buy it (and send it to me haha JK;)) – you won’t regret it 🙂

Favorite song
It was two weeks ago when a song called “You Let Me Walk Alone” by Michael Schulte, a German artist and singer, appeared on my YouTube recommendations, and since then this is probably the only song I’ve been listening to. It’s just so good!
