New in part 2

In the second half of the haul I will be showing you guys the produce that I have bought in Germany or in the Duty free.
Three of the items below are repurchases, because I am running low on them. I absolutely adore the Effaclar series by La Roche-Posay and had to stock up on my cream cleanser and the tonic. The cleanser is very mild yet the skin feels squeaky clean afterwards and the toner is without alcohol so it doesn't dry my skin. The whole line is paraben free and is very lightly scented, which I enjoy. Overall I like their products very much.
Then I have repurchased the peeling by alverde, a house brand of dm, a German drug store. Their products are all natural and the brand sort of leans on Weleda. The peeling is very mild, the exfoliating grains are tiny and my skin feels very smooth afterwards. Also it's extremely inexpensive so if you can get your hands on it I would highly recommend it. I also decided to give their moisturising eye cream a go. My Aquamilk is my number one, however I fancied something more rich for the winter time, which I can apply in the evenings. 
I also knew that Nivea have came out with a BB cream. I know I seem to be extremely behind, since there are already CC creams. This purchase was more on a whim though since I haven't read up on it and not seen any reviews. So we will see how this goes. I will keep you updated. 
Now it is time to discuss the make up bits. To start off I have finally added a chubby stick to my collection. It is in the shade "chunky cherry" and suits my pale complexion rather well. It is a lovely stain easy to apply and can be just chucked into one's purse. The texture is creamy and light. Since I got it I have definitely been wearing it a lot. 
I have also decided to venture into some essence products since I have heard good things about them. I went with the gel liner and a lighter bronzer shade. I have never before owned a gel liner because I was always favouring the liquid version but I do have to say that it is extremely easy to apply and the lasting power is great. It has made it through an entire day without any smudging. The bronzer I have not really tried yet but the packaging looks nice. 
I also discovered Catrice make-up on this trip. I have heard of it but never tried anything before. The concealer palette looked great so I decided to give it a try. It contains 5 different shades. Three concealer shades so one can easily customise the colour, a salmon coloured one to neutralise dark circles and the green one to help against redness. So far the colours have been relatively sheer but very creamy. I haven't had a proper chance to try it though. Also I bought a cream eye shadow, that very much reminds me of the Maybelline colour tattoos in a lovely green shade and a matching pencil for smokey eyes. I really am a sucker for everything green. 
I very much like my ChloĆ© perfume, however my signature scent is the EDP by Elie Saab called "Le Parfum". I have first bought the 30ml bottle but since I am running very low it was definitely time to buy the bigger version of it (50ml) in the Duty free. I absolutely adore this perfume. It is very elegant and feminine and sensual. According to Fragrantica  this is the composition: Jasmine is in the heart, including Grandiflorum and Sambac, whereas the base consists of cedar, patchouli and rose honey accord.
