Copping these cult favorites just got a whole lot easier with Watsons
Every product we put on our faces is a bit of a gamble since it’s near impossible to know what works for us until we actually try them. No matter how great a product is for a person, the effects could easily be very different for another. This is why no matter how convenient online shopping could get, I would always prefer to buy my beauty products in person; this way, I’d be able to review every ingredient, inspect the expiration date, smell every scent, and oftentimes, even get to try the product before I buy it. Better safe than sorry, you know? Luckily, Watsons arsenal of health, wellness and personal care items addresses these beauty woes by providing a wide range of brands and products readily available to come and check out.
Here are five more that are now well within your reach at every Watsons store and online:
The Ordinary
Basic isn’t much of a diss anymore, is it? Recent times have seen people starting to favor minimalistic and bare-bones trends, so it’s easy to see why the Ordinary is quickly taking over the beauty game. Gone are the days of extravagance for extravagance’s sake, because hey, if it works, it works, right? As their tagline suggests, “clinical formulations with integrity,” the brand boasts products which are no-frills and straight to the point. Their idea being: we know what could fix your skin and we’re going to give it to you. That’s it. Sounds pretty good to me.

Aztec Secret
Anyone’s who’s been on the internet has probably heard of Aztec Secret’s Indian Healing Clay. With endless testimonials and recommendations from firm believers flooding everyone’s timelines, it’s no wonder that the ‘world’s most powerful facial’ kept getting sold out at every store. No mo’ FOMO though, because the brand’s sought-after products are now going to be just a quick trip to your nearest Watsons.

Sigma
If the brand’s name sounds familiar but you can’t really put a finger on what they’re known for, then you’re probably not alone. The ubiquitous brand’s most revered products are the unsung heroes of each person’s beauty routine—the brushes! Every beauty guru has a favorite Sigma brush and now you can finally test those babies out for yourselves, too. Are they all hype or are they legit? I guess the verdict’s up to he or she who bears the sword; or in this case, the brush.

Thayers Natural Remedies
They say nature heals most things and Thayers Natural Remedies agrees. You won’t have to find yourself scavenging and foraging for all kinds of mother Earth’s miracle workers as the brand bottles them all up for you. Using natural ingredients such as the increasingly popular Witch Hazel, Aloe Vera, Rose petals and the like, the brand concocts skin saving elixirs for fresh skin.

Beauty Blender
The world’s most famous egg (or maybe, 2nd most famous egg—next to the egg that beat Kylie Jenner for most likes on an Instagram post) is finally available at Watsons stores! The game-changing Beauty Blenders have changed the game for makeup addicts everywhere, and now it’s changing the game for shoppers, too.

That means you’ll be able to score exclusive deals and discounts and earn points all for P100. Every P200 that you spend on Watsons will earn you one point (equivalent to P1), too. You can then use these points to pay for your next Watsons haul. You even get five times the points during your birthday month and twice the points on Watsons brand products.
