October - May Collective Haul

It's been so long since I've last posted a collective haul on the blog because I prepared for the wedding, got married, discovered I'm pregnant and adjusted myself to motherhood. Everything happened so quickly that I was so left out on my blog and my blogging life. My stress level during those days is at its peak! I felt that it's the most stressful of all days that I experienced stress. I've never been so nervous and stressed at the same time. It's a whirlwind of emotions I just can't explain. I still believe that it's a happy stress though. Just like the joy I feel whenever I received goodies from sponsor. :)

Since it's been months since I last posted a collective haul, I did not really track all the stuff I'm getting and receiving anymore. I really tried hard to recall what I received and I know most of it were these items. I'm sharing it with you now and I know it will be a (little) lot to share.

NOTE: I did not post my wedding gifts though because 98% of what we got in return was cash. :) 


Burt's Bees from SampleRoom
This is my last order from Sample Room using my VIP points. I think being enrolled on their VIP program for 2 months has it's ups and downs. You're lucky if you have new items to purchase and unlucky if they don't have new product display. In my case, I can say I'm really blessed as I made the most out of my VIP membership during that time. I got 7 lip balms and I gave away one to my co-teacher. 

Belo Collagen Powder Drink
I joined Belo in regramming their promo on IG and I won this powder drink. Ended up giving this to my sister because I don't want to risk drinking it because of my pregnancy.

Puff Stickers from Craft Easy
I'm little by little going into the planner obsession right now and I have this addiction with stickers. Haha. Since these were so cute, I got myself three of them.

Romwe
This is my last order from Romwe.com. My partnership with them for the last 3 years ended and I'm very thankful that I got a lot of stuff from this online shop. I've been skipping shopping for clothes because I know I have GCs and credits at Romwe but recently, I used my remaining $100 credit to purchase all of these loot. Thank you so much Romwe for the three years of love and hate relationship! 

Shiseido Baby Pressed Powder & TFS Jeju Aloe Gel
My sister gave me this as she purchased a Buy 1 Take 1 Aloe last time when it was on sale. A friend gave her the pressed powder and since she has plans of buying cushion, she gave me this instead. I'm using this right now that I'm pregnant because it's very mild and doesn't contain harmful ingredients. Thanks eonnie. ♥

Victoria's Secret Bombshells in Bloom
My sister-in-law gave this to me before she went back to Sydney. She was also the one who sponsored my jewelry for the wedding. Thanks Jeu!
Korean Products Beauty Haul
My sister's friend went to South Korea and she asked her if it's okay to buy us some products. This is a mix of some items from Korea and some of the stores here though. 

SampleRoom Haul
My points are back to regular and I only chanced to get some few small items. I wish to renew my VIP membership soon!

BDJ Haul
I actually didn't expect this to arrive anymore because it has been so long since I signed up for this and I thought it was all just a hoax. Still thanks BDJ. 

Althea Haul
Althea contacted me when they first launch here in the country. They gave me some credits to use to shop on their site. I immediately fell in love with their shop because it's super affordable and the products will be sent to you straight from Korea. It's my new go-to-shop for Korean products! 

Happy Skin
My first set of Happy Skin lippies to try. I was so happy I finally got the chance to purchase this online. And with a big discount too!

SampleRoom Haul
Finally got a nail polish which is safe for preggy moms like me. I will be using this soon before another school year starts. 

Planner Essentials Haul
I've been hooked with planning recently and I purchased a lot of planner essentials at different stores. I didn't know planning would really be therapeutic for me. 

Caronia Nail Polishes
I was so happy that Caronia never fails to surprise me. I shared before that I was one of their blogger partners and they keep on sending me nail polishes. Thanks Caronia! 

Human Heart Nature Haul
You probably know why I needed this now! Insert photo of a *preggy mom* here. I am just being extra careful on what I put on my skin.

Caronia Nail Polishes
Caronia launched another new collection called the Popsicle Collection. This line is also safe for preggy moms, as they quote. I hope I can use it as well. :) 

Planner Essentials Haul
Again, my new hobby requires this. :) 

Toeberries Flipflops
Perfect flipflops for summer and everyday grind.

Nivea Haul
When Nivea had a sale around April this year, I bought a lot! I also added some baby essentials now and I just can't help it that's why I still had to buy for the second time.

Nivea Haul
This, and a lot more for the second batch of my Nivea haul. SALE is my weakness! 

SampleRoom Haul
Belo Baby launched their newest baby product line and I need to grab some for baby soon!

Vigan Pasalubong
Thanks to my blogger friend Armela who gave this. 

Bvlgari Omnia Coral
My godmother from my wedding recently went to Singapore and I asked her to buy me this perfume. I paid for the item though. :)


Mommy Mundo Soon-to-be-Mommy Box
I've been exposing myself to Mommy blogs and articles now and I saw that Mommy Mundo has this box featured on their site. Once you become a member, you'll receive a box specifically on what stage you belong to motherhood. I'm excited to use the contents and to review all mommy products soon! 

Purederm Haul
I won on their recent giveaway on Facebook and received tons of products from them. I paid for the shipping of these items though. 

Maternity Dresses
Yep, you read that right. Got myself some few dresses because my belly's getting bigger. My body is still the same though but I gained more because of my precious little one. 

Daiso Haul
Bought some few stuff from Daiso when I last visited them and everything was beauty-related. 

Hershoppe Items
I attended the soft opening of Hershoppe here in San Fernando which I blogged few days ago and got these items as a treat! 

Menow Kissproof 
I bought 15 Kissproof lippies and Miss Suzanne of Suzanne's Emporium completed the whole 19 shades for me to review. Thanks for the freebies sis!

Honestly, I received and bought more items than this but can't remember the others. It's been so long since I've been on hiatus because of everything that happened in my life but I'm trying to get back on track now. I hope I can bring my blog stats again and promise to blog one or twice weekly now that have a lot to review. 

It will be busier now that a new school year is back and I will be giving birth soon but nonetheless, I'll surely be back to blogging and sharing more now that I'm a soon-to-be-mom! 

Please support me all the way! Thanks! Xoxo <3

    1. I didn't bought much from these loot because I'm saving for my baby soon! Though I must say that I still feel the urge to buy even if I really want to save. I feel that this is the last few months that I can reward myself before I have my baby. If I can give her all the world, I will.

  20. I love hauls! I do have all 19 of the kiss proof shades, but it doesn't dwell prettily with my chapped lips. I ended up giving them away to my friends.

    1. Yup. There are some that are nice and some aren't. What I did is that I used different shades everyday so I would know what works pretty well for me.

  22. Hello sis! wow, that's a lot of stuff! I think we only connect via BC Bloggers so I've never heard about you since the wedding, I suppose you were too busy with all the preparation and stuff. I just read your comment on my blog and you said you're now pregnant, congratulations! Perhaps you should join the Mommy Bloggers community. ;)
