Somehow it looks even larger in person, I swear.

This is a collection of many hauls, including things I have completely emptied and repurchased. I do not normally buy multiples of products unless they're a staple and I'm tired of overpaying for emergency resupplies.

and repurchased. I do not normally buy multiples of products unless they're a staple and I'm tired of overpaying for emergency resupplies. I only ever introduce one new product at a time, and I don't open things until I am ready to start using it.

I test it for at least two weeks minimum before introducing another product

I test things for a minimum of a month before I review them, sometimes longer if I feel I need to put it aside and come back to it later, or combine it with different things to gauge its effects

In the case of whitening items, you need 3-6 months of testing to gauge its effects.

Missha US haul (US seller):

I had to turn off the flash to get this shot, because it wasn't playing nice with the reflective material.

Sorry it looks so dingy/dark!

Costsell ebay haul:

Ordered: 7/26 Shipped: 7/28 Delivered: 7/30 Days elapsed: 4

Mizon Snail Repair Intensive Ampoule : I was out and needed to replace it. I really need to review this .. I think I've purchased 5 or 6 of them at this point. I emptied this bottle and am half done it's successor. haven't tried. As you can see from the empty tube, I liked it, and it reappears as a repurchase a few times in the growing cycle of Haulzilla. Mizon All-In-One Snail Repair Cream (tube size): To be honest, I purchased this because it was one of the few Mizon snail products Itried. As you can see from the empty tube, I liked it, and it reappears as a repurchase a few times in the growing cycle of Haulzilla. Mizon Returning Starfish Cream Sample x10: Snails, always. Starfish, why not? I suspect these were actually 3ml sample sizes because each packet had enough product for me to use it twice a day for at least two, sometimes 3 days. I actually used all the 10 packets I had, but must have gotten these as random samples from another haul.









Testerkorea haul:

RoseRoseShop haul:





Topinkgirl ebay haul:

Non-flash photography with my point-and-shoot little camera is not my friend. Sigh.

Costsell ebay haul (US seller):





Mizon Snail Repair Intensive Ampoule : Replacement repurchase. I was getting low and needed a back up, as my RRS haul-that-cancelled had to be redone. I am currently halfway through this bottle.

Mizon All-In-One Snail Repair Cream (tube size): Replacement repurchase. I liked it enough to keep testing it, and have emptied this tube completely.

Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream : Emergency replacement; I ran out of The Precious and I was desperate! Costsell is more expensive than buying from Korea, but I NEEDED MY SNAILS! I need my snails every day, twice a day, so I'm already finished this tube as well.









While I was taking these photos, I discovered the Oily version comes with a set of tiny pink plastic tweezers! How cool is that?









A very kind and busy acquaintance in Korea haul:

A'Pieu NonCo Tea Tree Spot Patch : I have not yet received these as a kindly person, with a real life outside of sending beauty products to her deranged US peeps, went to an actual A'pieu store, bought me some of these, and mailed them to me when she could spare the time from her hectic life, and I am very grateful! I bribed her with coffee money. What a sweetheart. They'll get here when they get here; I'm in no rush.









Testerkorea haul: The Mizon Oil Olive Cocoa Butter Foot Cream (centre, green and white tube) was a free gift, isn't that sweet? Ordered: 8/14 Shipped: 8/30 Delivered: 9/19 Days elapsed: 36!





Now, before you look at this haul and freak, TK was running a 30% paypal cash back promo when I made this order, which meant that I basically got 30% off everything. Also, the vast majority of this order is samples, not full sizes.









And with that, we're done! I need a drink. Possibly several. It's taken me all weekend to compile everything, so I may be taking next weekend off from posting to catch up on all the real-life things that I should have gotten done this weekend.





Have you been gripped in the terrifying claws of Haulzilla yourself? Anything you're super eager to try? Leave me a comment or connect with me on facebook or twitter!

Well guys, it's been, but the final piece of HAULZILLA has arrived, and it is finally ready to post! Haulzilla is a terrifying mutant comprised of multiple sellers, packages, and late night cart hoarding.It's been growing slowly over time, and my living room has been a wreckage of boxes, bubble wrap, and packing peanuts for a very long time. I squirrel away a small amount of money each paycheque for discretionary spending, but my beauty fund is currently a smoking ruin.Please note before we start breaking down the components of this behemoth:It also takes me weeks, if not months, to build a large haul; I research things exhaustively, I consider if there is a 'gap' in my routine a product will fill or if it's redundant, I discuss it with people, I meditate on it. Ok, my meditation involves long hours of browsing Korean sites with the aid of Google Translate, but the point is, I don't act fast.In fact, as you will see, quite a few things are repurchases as I completely emptied several products and had to replace them while Haulzilla was ... hatching.Ordered: 6/29Delivered: 7/12Days elapsed: 13 Mizon AHA & BHA Daily Clean Toner : I bought this + the matching serum as a kit, which was the primary reason for this haul. I had been reading about AHAs and BHAs and was ready to give chemical exfoliation a try. As you can see, this bottle of toner is completely empty now, (later you will see I'm already half done my second bottle) and this serum is nearly empty now as well. Mizon AHA 8% Peeling Serum : See above. Mizon Correct Essential Activator : I already had the matching CC cream, and wanted to see if the CC cream was improved by the Activator. It was also $11, which was the lowest price I've seen, so I threw it in with my order. This is low priority on the testing schedule, which is currently booked solid for the next 14 weeks. (I warned you I introduce things slowly and in isolation!) Mizon 10vely Secret Concealer This concealer is supposed to help acne heal and control sebum, which intrigued me. I have only one concealer right now, from Mac, and it's getting close to time to toss it out. I have not had a chance to fully test this yet, but I'd say it's around an NC20 and a bit dark on me.Ordered: 7/4Delivered: 7/7Days elapsed: 3 Mizon Skin Turn Around Pore Refine Deep Cleansing Foam : I wanted to explore some alternatives to the Shiseido Perfect Whip, which was too high in pH. Spoilers: this one is too. Mizon Snail Repairing Foam Cleanser : See above. Click here for review. This tube is now completely empty, but as I mention in the review, I will not be repurchasing it. Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream : aka The Precious. My HG light moisturizer, this was a replacement as I had run out, and it too is now empty. Click here for review. As you can see, this tube has had every drop of The Precious wrung from it like an old toothpaste tube. Mizon Oh! Shy Touch-Like Moisture Layered Pact SPF30 PA++ 21. Bright Skin Beige : I wanted a face powder that would allow me to adjust the shade of too-dark BB creams, and I was intrigued by the concept of a powder infused with moisture, which I had seen on a few episodes of Get It Beauty (a popular Korean beauty talk show). I purchased it in the lightest of two shades. The Face Shop Clean Face Oil Free BB Cream : Although I love my Mizon Snail Repair BB cream ( click here for review) it's actually a shade too dark for me. Although my face is around NC20 in places due to sun damage and hyperpigmentation, my neck is easily 2-3 shades lighter (if they made such a thing, it would be NC5 or NC10), giving me the dreaded 'reverse eagle'. Also, I had the itch to try a new BB cream. You all know that itch, don't judge. I was intrigued to see if it would help with acne and sebum control, and supposedly has a more matte finish.Ordered: 7/4Shipped: 7/8Delivered: 7/19Days elapsed: 15 Etude I Need You, Green Tea! Mask Sheet x2: Sheet masks. Green tea is supposed to be very good for the skin, and soothing/reduces irritation. Etude I Need You, Pomegranate! Mask Sheet x2: Sheet masks. I haven't tried Pomegranate masks before, and I like to get two in case I like them enough to retry them and confirm their results, if any. Innisfree It's Real Mask in Green Tea x2: Sheet masks. Why do I need 2 brands of green tea masks? Why to compare and contrast them of course! Innisfree It's Real Mask in Manuka Honey x2: Sheet masks. Honey is a popular beauty ingredient, I trust I don't have to get into this too much. Innisfree It's Real Rice Mask x2: Sheet masks. I am very intrigued by the supposed beauty benefits of rice, as it's a very popular ingredient in Japanese skin care especially, and I've heard of people reserving the final rinse water from their rice and keep that for beauty purposes. Innisfree Vital essential C mask lemon 1+1 : (meaning it comes with two): sheet masks. One time use, cheap, effective, and you can never have too many. This one is for 'brightening' Missha Soft Jelly Cleansing Puff Konjac Sponge- White Clay : Toot, toot, all aboard the konjac sponge bandwagon! I have been using this one since it arrived, so you're seeing it still damp from when I used it this morning. Missha Soft Jelly Cleansing Puff Konjac Sponge- Charcoal : Since konjacs have a short shelf life and I wasn't sure which one I wanted to get, I got both. They were cheap, and were lightweight in terms of shipping, don't judge me! Skin79 Super Plus Beblesh Balm Triple Functions Green SPF30 PA++ (deluxe sample): Skin79, whose classic Hot Pink BB cream was many a newcomer's first foray into Asian products, has expanded their line of BB creams to include a wider range of skintones. The Green is supposed to be their lightest shade yet. I have tried this once and I'm suspicious it broke me out, but I'm on a strict testing regimen right now so it's going to have to wait. I will eventually swatch and review it, however! Skinfood Peach Sake Silky Finish Powder : Like I mentioned earlier, I was looking for powders but wanted one that added no colour and was strictly for oil control. Both this one and the Innisfree No Sebum powder have rave reviews, but the packaging and peach scent of this one won me over. Su:m37˚ Water Full Timeless Water Gel Cream 1ml samples x10: Su:m37 is a very expensive prestige/hanbang brand, and getting things in sample sizes lets me explore their offerings without exploding my wallet. For more info on how to get expensive brands for cheap via samples, such as a $100+ cream for $12.50, see my math breakdown here . This did come with 10, but I have already used all but 3. Tonymoly Tangerine Whitening Hand Cream : A repurchase for my mom, because she says it fades the age spots on her hands. I love my mom, ergo I buy things for her. I just forget to ship them to her ... for months at a time. Oops. (Sorry mom!)Ordered: 7/18Shipped: 7/21Delivered: 7/24Days elapsed: 6 Missha Special Edition Magic Cushion Case : Since this was a Limited Edition item, there is no product page for me to link, so I have linked my review. As I explain in detail there, I was looking for a way to test out the cushion craze without ending up with a dud product. And it was pretty. So pretty.I also purchased a spare puff so I could alternate them as I cleaned them.Ordered: 7/20Shipped: 7/22Delivered: 7/24Days elapsed: 4 3M Nexcare Acne Dressing Pimple Stickers Patch Combo : I wanted to give hydrocolloid bandages a try after seeing these recommended as being better than the American versions. 3M Nexcare Acne Dressing Pimple Stickers Patch Combo & Oily Skin : I wanted to give both types a try. You can read my review of them here . I used them all and repurchased them both.They also sent me samples, which unfortunately got mixed up with the samples of my repurchase of these two items, which made me quite angry as I've been putting a lot of effort into keeping things with their original order.Ordered: 7/22Shipped: 7/23Delivered: 8/4Days elapsed: 13 Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick : What to say. It's a luxurious, low-pH, foaming cleanser. It's hard to find. It's supposedly starting to slowly become restocked in Korea. You can read more about it in the mini haul review I did on Avecko here Etude House Real Art Cleansing Oil in 'Moisture' After seeing this recommended on Get It Beauty and in a rush to find something to flesh out my cart, I snagged this as I needed a new cleansing oil that was more gentle than the ones I had. As you can see, I have been using the cleansing oil and it's very effective, but seem to have issues with oil cleansers breaking me out and so my HG oil cleanser search continues.Ordered: 8/1Shipped: 8/7Delivered: 8/23Days elapsed: 22 Mizon AHA 8% Peeling Serum x3: You see, a terrible thing happened between my ebay haul where I purchased the Mizon AHA & BHA Daily Clean Toner + the serum for $30 together. Suddenly, halfway through my toner bottle, the price for the toner alone started to spike as high as $130, and it was out of stock everywhere.Sellers were claiming it was discontinued, that it was no longer sold in Korea, that it was only available in duty free shops; rumours flew thick and fast. I had completely fallen in love with both the toner and the serum, and with the toner no longer available and the serum selling out everywhere and prices rising, I panicked. I purchased 3 backups so if disaster struck, I would still have some. Thankfully, a few weeks after I received my back ups, the toner and the serum both came, so crisis averted!Ordered: 8/4Shipped: 8/6Delivered: 8/16Days elapsed: 12 Mizon AHA & BHA Daily Clean Toner : This popped into stock on RoseRoseShop despite it being discontinued, and I snagged it immediately. It turned out that it was a site glitch and not actually in stock. They were extremely apologetic and mystified how it even appeared. I had actually placed a large haul order with RRS on 7/10, but there was a mix-up and it ended up getting cancelled through no fault of mine nor theirs. In an effort to make up for what had happened, they offered to make an exception (they normally just refund immediately, but I didn't want that, I wanted my toner!) and hold onto my order to see if they got any in their next restock. I appreciate the effort they went to, and they did end up getting enough to fulfil my order even though they didn't have enough to stock their site. Things happen, but it's how their customer service handles it that keeps me as a customer. They really went above and beyond to make it up to me.As you can see, I am half done this bottle already.Ordered: 8/6Shipped: 8/8Delivered: 8/22Days elapsed: 16 Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick : If you're looking at the dates and thinking "did she buy a back up stick 2 days after receiving the last one?!" you would be correct. Um. Yeah. By the way, topinkgirl's stock is older than my Avecko stick (hers predates when it went out of stock, and Avecko's is new stock) so be aware that since it is a soap-like product with natural ingredients (such as rose oil) it will age over time and may change consistency/action/scent. I do believe her stock is authentic, and it did pH test the same, but some people have reported that their sticks from her are more 'soapy' and do not have as strong a scent. I believe this is because her stock has 'aged' whereas the next stock being produced is still fresh with all its rose-y glory.Topinkgirl also sent me samples which I misplaced, much to my annoyance. Haulzilla has been in various pieces around my apartment for so long, it's been hard to keep everything isolated.Ordered: 8/18Shipped: 8/18Delivered: 8/20Days elapsed: 2
