Watsons: Stay Healthy From the Inside and Out with Me!


These past few weeks I have been MIA from social media because I was focusing on myself and the things I wanted to do with the time I have offline. Although I was posting less photos and have been online for a short time, I dropped hints on my Instagram stories and posts on how Watsons helped me through my journey of daily productivity while maintaining my good health.    
                               
                                      

Let me just give a brief information of what Watsons is here in the Philippines or Asia, rather. (If you don't know). It's the largest health care and beauty chain in the continent which offers wide variety of health products such as different kinds of medicines for your needs and also caters to every beauty need you have regardless of your gender. Such a paradise for us shoppers, right? For the longest time, I have been a solid recurring customer in Watsons and this time is no different either. 


As a woman who's always on - the - go and faces every problem head on, I had always tried to maintain a healthy life, although failing a few times. This is because this lifestyle forces one to be exposed with pollution and stress which causes too much problems for the health inside and out. A couple of times, I would suddenly have acne breakouts because of work stress and it would be so hard to cure without a solid skincare I could rely on. Another one would be endless nights of suffering from migraines and fever because of my overworked body. And with the rainy season upon us, there are high chances of me catching colds especially with my cold intolerance.


 Lastly, I'm so grateful to have found my skincare and hair care routine from Watsons. With my naturally oily skin, I am prone to breakouts. Thus, having a skincare which battles this helped me tremendously. (Ehem, Celeteque.) For my hair, on the other hand, it's always a problem with my naturally curly hair because it usually has the tendency to be frizzy with just a soft breeze of air. So when I commute, I would be looking like an aswang outside. (P.S. The pictures I posted are by far my favorite products from Watsons.) 

With this said, my journey to maintaining my good health inside and out is still under progress but I'm still glad that I have Watsons to rely on with every step of the way. What's yours?

Beauty Now and Next Lip Collection Review with Swatches


Christmas passed, but that doesn't mean gift giving is paused until next year. No, people still have occasions where in a special token is well appreciated. The product I'm going to review today is a perfect surprise for makeup lovers. I recently stumbled upon a great gift set in Watsons.  Most of us know that Watsons - a local drugstore which sells beauty,  medicine, food,  and many more - release perfectly affordable gift sets throughout the year. 

The Beauty Now and Next gift set contains 8 lippies all in all - 4 lipsticks and 4 lipglosses. It's very versatile because the colors have light pink to vampy red in it.  What's great about this set is it only costs 250 pesos. Certainly a cheap steal, right?  Plus,  if you prefer nudes,  they also have a set for those too. I bought this particular set because it has lipglosses.


The packaging of the lipsticks are not sturdy.  It kind of feels like a toy.  You have to be careful when twisting it because it gets stuck. In addition,  it does not have a great look all in all.


The lipglosses, on the other hand, I love.  It looks so cute with it's thin and small body. It's great to bring when traveling since it's very portable.  The twist cap is also very smooth unlike the packaging in the lipsticks.


For the product,  the lipsticks are quite the disappointment because it does not apply smoothly at all. The pigment is also not that high but you can work with it.  It's also not moisturizing and not drying too - just normal. However, it's matte and lasts about 5 hours. Not bad for the affordable price.  The lipglosses, on the other hand,  I can rave about them all day long.  I just love love how it feels on my lips. It's very moisturizing. Although,  it's not that pigmented. Both lippies are not transfer proof so that's a thing you can consider.

Verdict:

For 250 pesos, I can work with these lippies.  I love how affordable they are.  Although this set is not that above average, you can work with it.  If they release more colors in this set,  I will buy again because it's very affordable and I'm in love with their lipgloss. 

Review: Collagen by Watsons - Moisturising & Repairing Cracked Heel Cream


Hola! I haven't been able to post stuffs because I've been busy with work and well, playing Covet Fashion. I'm seriously addicted to that game you guys and I'll tell you all about it in another post. Right now, I'll focus on my horrifying cracked heel. I don't know if it's true or not that if you try foot spa, your feet will start to grow dry skin so you need to repeat the process again. (Does it make sense?) Anyways, I saw this Moisturising & Repairing Cracked Heel Cream at Watsons and the first thing that I thought was wow the packaging looks really good. It's part of the collagen series (I call it series since they have other products that are made with collagen and almost the same packaging) that Watsons made recently.

This is what the product looks like. As you can see, it's gold which adds sophistication to the product. Actually, all their recently released collagen products are packaged with the same color and design.

 Product Description: Collagen by Watsons Moisturising & Repairing Cracked Heel Cream is enriched with nourishing Shea Butter and moisturising Vitamin E which can deeply penetrate and re-hydrate your dry, cracked, and rough heels, keeping them silky soft and smooth after use. 

 This product cost about 89+ pesos (I forgot the exact price since I bought it a month ago) but I purchased a promo of buy 2 take 1. I find the price affordable that's why I bought it compared to other cracked heel remedies like the one in Human Nature which costs about 150+ pesos.


The product is a cream type lotion. A small amount like the one in the picture can go a looong way since the product can be spread smoothly. I use this every morning since I'm usually tired for a beauty regimen at night. However, it is recommended to use this 2-3 times a day for better results.

Usage: Apply an appropriate amount onto your heels. Gently massage into skin until fully absorbed. Re-apply whenever necessary. For optimal results, recommend to use at least 2-3 times per day. 

 Verdict:
Sorry I don't have a picture for the results since I bought this a month ago and forgot to snap a before pic. Anyways, for the first few weeks you will not notice any difference with your skin but as you continue using it you'll see that cracked heel smoothen a little. It does repair your cracked heel but you have to religiously apply it every single day. Moreover, you will have to be patient in waiting for the results. What I like about this product is that it lasts long. I've been using it for a month now and there's still a lot left in the bottle.

My rating would be 4/5

Love,
