Haul: Burt's Bees, Nivea, Cream Silk, Jergens, Samples from Sample Room Ph

Hey guys. I've been taking it easy on the blogging duties this week because I've been recuperating from a bad cold last weekend. I'm slowly back into writing posts - though only those that require minimal effort for now.

If you've been reading lately, you might notice that I've been collecting samples from Sample Room like crazy, I am taking advantage of my 2-month VIP membership. I check their site everyday to see if there are samples to be had. These hauls are actually three separate transactions because Sample Room only allows three items per order. These came a day or two apart from each other because I have to be quick in ordering, these items "sell" like hotcakes. Here they are:

First Impressions: I actually found a couple of gems out of these products. Number one on my list for re-purchase is the Nivea Body UV Whitening Serum. It's a good sunblock that I won't have to feel guilty of using everyday. It's very inexpensive, but does the job well. It's also very moisturizing and surprisingly non-greasy. Second, would be the Burt's Bees lotion that is also very moisturizing and smells so divine and rich. If only it's not so expensive, I would also use it every day. The Cream Silk conditioners are typical ones, nothing special about them. They are staples though, so I might as well get them at a lower price rather buying them full price at the store. Overall, I pretty much got my money's worth with these hauls. I spent a total of Php 420 for shipping and I got Php 2500++ worth of products that I know I will use.
