When Cuddling your Teddy Bear and Smooshing your Cat just doesn't cut it (Comfort Hauling)

This is my biggest haul from RRS thus far.  I had been compiling a list and because of a short-term promotion at work for a month I could afford "All The Things" (within reason).

Why am I calling it a comfort haul?  Well when I clicked the "buy" button it was on a day where I'd been dealing with some epic health issues, which have since compounded, thus the lack of posts.

This represents the state of my brain for the past 10 days 

My allergies and immune system have basically done a riot and I've been off work for a full week with painkillers, antibiotics, allergy medications and topical medications.  But that was not the reason for the Comfort Haul, it simply compounded the issues and the stress and the panic I was feeling.

So this haul has actually been sitting in the dining room for a week because I could not function to even look at it.  Well, it made me upset to look at it.

Now I have pulled it together somewhat and am throwing this post out for you, because there are reasons for these purchases for my skin type when my immune system behaves and I am very much looking forward to being able to use these products once my course of medications from the dermatologist (finally have now been to one) finishes.

So with the RRS new shop sale on several ranges I liked AND free shipping on Mizon, lets haul!

Samples of Cera Cera cream, Shea Butter Steam Cream and Aloe Cleansing cream

Mizon part 1.... Aloe has been something I wanted to incorporate more into my routine and I had samples of the Mizon WaterVolume cream that I really liked and the Sleeping Mask had positive reviews from other who have a similar skin type to myself.

Mizon 2... More AIO Snail cream, the Night Repair sounded like it would be good to help repair my skin, the Collagen series because I had liked another Collagen cream this I had bought previously and wanted to expand on the range.

Mizon, uh, 3.... Snail Ampoule (kisses!) and the Placenta Cream, because why not.

BB cushions - now the Garfield was because GARFIELD and I needed childhood warm fuzzies, the Etude House is a green colour corrector and the Missha was a nice price (~$7-8 AUS).  Right now they would all be too sheer for my face (think sunburn red), so will have to wait for a proper use. 

Red Ginseng x 3 - I've been curious about this ingredient, Aloe x 9 because I LOVE THIS MASK and  Mung Bean x 3 - again ingredient curiosity.

2 boxes of my favourite snail masks because they were on special!

This is the most coherent I've been for the past 10 days, so hopefully I can get some more past reviews neatened up and posted for you!  I had one that I need to re-write because my own attitude and opinion towards the topic changed, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

When have you Comfort Hauled?  And did you get to enjoy the haul?

Priceline 40% Off Skincare (July)

Oh Priceline.
Ooooooh Priceline.
You know the way to my heart.

On the 27/7 and 28/7 Priceline had one of its' pop-up 40% off sales for skincare.  These happen every 6 months or so, and I was in need, dire, dire, need of some items.
As much as I love my AB products there are some items that aren't AB that are Holy Grails in my routines.

I was down to the last scrapings of my last tub of Nivea Creme that I bought randomly a few months ago to supplement my supply.

Rationing. Every. Last. Bit.

Great Wall of Nivea

I do love my Nivea Creme.  I didn't buy enough in the last 40% off in Feb, so hopefully 12 tubs should see me through 6 months.  I use this on my face and on my body.  This is a product that I use everyday, twice a more, more if my skin is ridiculously dry.  If I could only have one skincare product left to use it would be this.

I also collected some of my favourite toner.

This doesn't claim to be for dry skin, but my skin is very fond of it. I'm halfway through my second bottle already so grabbed these.  I had tried a different toner after I finished a bottle of this but my skin was not as happy as before so I had to buy another bottle of this.  The different in dryness is noticeable.  I like to amp this up by mixing in some hyaluronic serum in with it.

Trying some of these Sukin items as they do have good reviews.

The Sensitive Cleansing Lotion seems to be massively popular.  Both times in these sales I've seen people grab handfuls and they always get emptied out early on.

Simple has some items that have a nice short ingredient list that were in travel sizes and thought they would be good to trial.

Simple has seemed a bit hit and miss, so if I can get a sample size or a trial size I would prefer to get that first rather than committing to a full item.

I've been interested in cream cleansers, as I'm searching for something to replace my Avene Extremely Gentle cleanser which is over $30.

This also had a lovely short ingredient list and has worked well so far but it smells of sunscreen and its disconcerting.  The first time I used it I had to double check that I had bought a cleanser....

So the Nivea and Toner were planned purchases and the others were items that caught my eye as I was rampaging through Priceline.  I looked at some of the serums and tried them and such but really balked at the prices.  I have been far too spoilt by RoseRoseShop and their prices.  My shop last Feb in Priceline was quite different to this shop.

What did you get in the Priceline Skincare sale?
