Watsons Beauty Lab

Last March 9, I attended Watsons Beauty Lab at the posh restaurant 2nd's at Bonifacio high street. I ran a litte late but still got there early enough to have a little chat with the Watsons team together with Depot's EIC Rumples Estacio. Earth of earthlinggorgeous was also there--yey to 1 familiar face. Hehe. We were treated to a delicious merienda first and some refreshing drinks. After a few minutes the actual presentation started. So basically, the team just presented Watson's new line: Pure Beauty. It was really quite interesting as there were many products that caught my fancy. 

The first one they presented was their "Beauty Within" section and products. This new section advocates that beauty and wellness go hand in hand. It offers slimming, whitening, anti-aging, and skin enhancement vitamins and supplements. It's a one-stop shop for everything a woman needs to be able to reveal true beauty from within. 

SM’s Beauty Within has brought together the country’s top brands with a singular mission in mind: to help women the country over reveal their beauty from within. Standout beauty solutions include:

*Watch out for the new Beauty Within areas starting April at the SM Beauty Section of SM Makati, SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia, SM North Edsa, and SM Fairview

VERDICT: I'm almost done with the Belo one. I'm really a morena so I was really not expecting for my skin to whiten. But I did notice some improvements on the clarity of my skin. It is also said that glutathione is good for the liver! So Mich approves.:)

 

Next was Pure Beauty. It was divided into 3 sections: Black Pearl, Haircare Treatment & Skin Brightening.

PURE BEAUTY Youth Restore with Black Pearl  is the luxury anti-aging skincare line from Watsons that provides special treatment that counteracts dryness, erases signs of wrinkles, creates luminosity and provides radiance for younger looking skin. The secret lies in the natural goodness extracted from rare black-lipped pearls found only in Tahiti. This line has 6 varieties - essence, night cream, day cream, foam cleanser, eye cream and a toner.

PURE BEAUTY Haircare Treatment line caters specifically for Asian hair and the modern women’s busy lifestyle. All products from this line are enriched with Japanese Camellia Seed Oil, a well-known natural source of powerful anti-oxidants and rich in Vitamin E, the formula is nourishing and intensely moisturizing. 

The Haircare Treatment range is made up of 5 products-- shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, essence water, haircare oil.

VERDICT: I've tried most of the products above and I do attest to the quality and effectiveness of each one of them. I've switched to Pure Beauty, seriously. Mich is obsessed with the haircare oil!

Watsons newest line of whitening products is PURE BEAUTY Super Brightening Skincare. It's a collection of products, which combats aging and darkening of skin. The line offers natural whitening care for long lasting brightening effect and radiant flawless skin. It is made of White Flower Complex, which includes white rose, lotus and freesia extracts and has anti-stress properties. 

These new products carry six varieties, namely the multi cleanser, toner, eye gel, essence, day lotion, day lotion with SPF 15 and a night cream.

VERDICT: I haven't tried everything, just the eye gel and facial mask, and they're also effective. I love how Watsons do everything to bring in new innovations in the beauty market!

Most of these products are already out--the others would be launched on April. So go run to the nearest Watsons store now! :) 

After the event, I headed to SM Cubao for some "me" time and also to take a peek on their shoe section. Hehe. Found some promising buys. But I'm so proud of myself for not giving in!

 i was literally on the verge of buying this but it looked super small on me, so I just let it go. *sigh*

Thank you Watsons for making my life (and all the other girls lives) easier and manageable! :) And no, I'm not saying this coz I'm biased. It has always been my go to place when I need personal care products. So yey. :)
