Dm-drogerie markt (dm) is one of my favorite spots to pop into whenever I'm in Europe. Think of it like the European version of a CVS, but way more fun to browse. I always make a point to swing by because they carry a ton of European beauty products you just can't get back home, and I'm obsessed with their dm-branded lip balms which basically are the Labello-style lipstick Germany is famous for, but at a budget-friendly price.
The store's super practical too. They've got everything from toiletries and travel-sized lotions (perfect for those of us packing light) to wellness, health, and household products. Forgot your toothbrush, deodorant, or toothpaste? No problem, dm has you covered. I also like grabbing small snacks or sundries while I'm there. Prices are fair and it's just so convenient.
Overall, dm feels like one of Europe's best big-chain drugstores. It's a solid mix of everyday essentials, cool beauty finds, and little travel must-haves, and I always leave with something I didn't even know I needed. read more
