Watsons Switch and Save Campaign with Tessa Prieto-Valdes

     Whenever I step inside any branch of Watsons Store, I'm always in a eureka moment! It's one of my favorite stores in the metro because of best deals and great finds under one roof. I've been a Watsons shopper ever since, I can't recall when was the exact year that both of my feet landed inside their store here in Fairview but from then on, my trip to Sm Malls and other malls where there is Watsons will not be complete if I will not pay a visit at their store.

     So when I was invited to shop with one of Watsons brand ambassador last week, I immediately said yes without hesitation. I was so excited to shop with Ms. Tessa Prieto-Valdes because I've heard lots of great things about her. She's nice inside and out. Truth be told she's really nice and approachable in person :) Dressed in a Watsons Store personnel uniform, Ms. Tessa introduced me to Watsons Label. She's a smart shopper that's why she highly recommends Watsons Label to all the shoppers. More details about this fun shopping event with Tessa Prieto-Valdes after the jump!

     From personal care items, beauty essentials, and even medicine, Asia's leading personal care store now offers a wider variety of products under it's own label, giving shoppers the choice to save as much as 80 percent without compromising on quality. That's a big savings especially for a mother like me who wants to save money on everyday essentials.

     Watsons has irresistible deals that's why their campaign has caught the attention of several celebrities who made the Switch and Save including Tessa Prieto-Valdes, Patty Laurel, Iya Villana-Arellano and the newest switcher Christian Bautista.

Watsons Label Hand Soaps- available in gel and cream variants

     Since I'm a skin care junkie, the first products from the Watsons Label line that caught my attention was the hand soap, hand soaps! They offer a variety of hand soaps in a BOGO (Buy 1, Get 1) deal. It's amazing that they also have refills for each variant that's also in a buy 1 take 1 offer. I want to buy a pair from each variant, if you only knew me. I wash my hands more than 10 times a day at home. That's how OC I am, clean hands all the time!

     Tessa Prieto- Valdes shared her bath essentials which include Watsons Strawberry and Yoghurt Cream Hand soap that effectively cleanses and protects hands from dryness, Watsons Scented Cream Body Wash with Goat's Milk to gently slough off dead skin cells and helps to hydrate and brighten the skin and Watsons Whitening Milk and Salt Scrub to help enhance the skin, and exfoliate dead skin cells.

     Tessa was a very energetic and informative sales attendant that day so I was persuaded by her words to switch to Watsons Label Hand soaps. These hand soaps smell so good! Not bad for the price since a 500 ml of scented hand soap costs 74.50 php. For less than 150 php, you'll get 2 500 ml bottles of cream or gel variant. What's great about the offer is that you can also mix and match the variants from the hand soap line.

     I also found out that to keep her skin looking healthy and protect it from free radical damage, Tessa relies on a couple of products from Watsons Generics. Watsons Glutathione to lighten skin and prevent skin darkening caused by UV exposure and Watsons Vitamin E to prevent eye disorders and help her avoid a number of diseases.

     Tessa is the second Switch and Save Ambassador who made a surprise visit to a Watsons Store. Watsons Label believes that with more value from hard-earned money spent on quality affordable products, every Filipino Gets more savings to enjoy other important things in life with their loved ones.

Watsons Switch and Save Campaign with Tessa Prieto-Valdes

     To tell you honestly, I did not shop that day even if my hands were itching to place most of the Watsons Label products that was recommended by Tessa to me in my shopping basket. I have kept in my mind all the things she rave and the personal care products that she's truly using. So when I got home, I listed them down and last weekend I went to Watson's Fairview Terraces branch to shop, Switch and Save with Watsons Label products.

     The photo above shows my haul. I've included other brands that I'm already using here. They have great deals with other brands so I also bought them. Anyhoo, I'm so happy with my hauls! Total shopping damage spent was 2,000 php. I just forgot to include the hand soaps in this photo. I've hoarded and shared them with my sisters and in-laws. I've bought 6 bottles in different variants and 2 hand soap refills.

Watson's Generics Vitamin E, Watsons Generics Vitamin C, Watsons Invigorating Wet Tissue in Green Tea,  Watsons Loofah Pad, Watsons Milk and Salt Scrub with Collagen, Watson's Argan Oil Shampoo, Watsons Psyllium Fiber Powder in Calamansi Flavor

     Here are the Watsons Label products that I bought which gave me a big savings! As per Tessa's advice, the Watson's Generics Vitamin E prevents eye disorder and other disease so I need to have a box! I've also included Watsons Generics Vitamin C, Watsons Invigorating Wet Tissue in Green Tea scent which is their best-seller, Watsons Loofah Pad, Watsons Milk and Salt Scrub, also a fave of Tessa but my pick was the collagen variant. Watson's Argan Oil shampoo because I'm a sucker for anything natural and Watsons Psyllium Fiber out of curiosity because it's calamansi flavor.

Rock Your Summer Look with Jergens Moisturizer

     Too much exposure to sun and heat can make our skin dry and itchy. It's still summer here in the Philippines and many women would skip wearing mini skirts and sleeveless blouses because of dry skin. Dry skin is usually obvious in exposed parts of the body like arms and legs. The answer to this dilemma is to apply a moisturizing lotion but some women feel so uncomfortable after applying a moisturizing lotion especially in this kind of weather.

     Jergens wants to help women have amazing skin even in summer. Our moisturizers are specially formulated to be absorbed quickly by the skin to prevent that “icky” feeling that usually comes with applying lotion on the skin. In addition, Jergens comes equipped with Hydralucence, a unique technology that keeps skin moisturized throughout the day by forming a continuous layer of moisture on the skin. This keeps skin, keeping it hydrated and at the same times gives while giving it a luminous look.

Rock Your Summer Look with Jergens Moisturizer
Jergens Moisturizer variants: Jergens Soothing Aloe Refreshing Moisturizer, Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer, Jergens Daily Moisture Dry Skin Moisturizer, and Jergens Original Scent Dry Skin Moisturizer

Jergens has two variants that will keep you cool and refreshed this summer:

MYGOLD SM Makati Store Opening

     This post is just in time for Mother's Day. If you're still searching for a precious and memorable gift for your mom or your wife or to the woman of your life, a jewelry is always a good option. Don't think it's out of your budget because there are brands of jewelry in the market today that offers high quality but affordable timeless pieces.

     I was invited to the store launch of one jewelry store that I will recommend to you. During their opening, they have a sale that went up to 40% discount. That's an awesome deal, right? So I will not keep you waiting and will muse about the event highlights after the jump :)

MYGOLD Sm Makati Store Opening

     Before I'll share with you an excerpt of MYGOLD's story, here are three things why a jewelry is a perfect gift this Mother's Day and an accessory to keep and cherish for a lifetime.

• Jewelry is always seen as precious heirlooms that serve more than decorative pieces, rather, a fitting remembrance celebrating one’s important milestones.
• A Jewelry is beautiful, timeless and definitely worth keeping investment- ask this to a woman and her eyes will answer YES with a sparkle.
• Whether it’s a symbol of love expressed through a delicate engagement ring, a symbol of a lifelong commitment expressed through a pair of wedding bands or celebrating new beginnings expressed through a dazzling pair of earrings or a lovely bracelet, jewelry always make for an attractive keepsake that multiplies in value through time. 

MYGOLD Sm Makati Store Opening

     From its humble beginnings when it was just a two-showcase display of religious items made from Philippine gold, MYGOLD went on to becoming the jeweler of choice by many because of its fine selection of exquisite craftsmanship and quality in jewelry. 

     Attracting customers from all walks of life, MYGOLD started as a two-display showcase inside the department store. It wasn’t hard for mall-goers to take notice of MYGOLD’s beautiful pieces – all elegantly displayed as they passed by the jeweler’s spot. Given the Filipino’s love for celebrating life milestones and natural inclination to express their love through more creative ways, MYGOLD jewelry has become a favored brand when it comes to quality jewelry.

     Initially offering crosses and pieces with the image of the beloved Sto. Nino, MYGOLD went on to partner with another manufacturer in 1987 in Singapore. From there, the brand started offering a more diverse lineup of pieces which featured diamonds, pearls, and today, even colored stones.

MYGOLD's Pearls, Bracelets, Pendants, and Necklaces

     In 2007, MYGOLD held its first-ever private sale through a partnership with a bank. Clients were able to enjoy an exclusive viewing of the new and more sophisticated collections of the jeweler which included pieces with diamonds and south sea pearls. 

     Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2012, MYGOLD is proud to have 15 branches all over the country, earning the trust of its clients through the years as they were also able to provide certificates for diamond purchases and other jewelry items.

• All MYGOLD pieces are made out of love, wherein aside from offering beautiful designs and guaranteeing the best materials to be used, the jeweler also assures clients of great value for money.
• It allows everyone to fulfill their dream of having precious pieces that will last forever.
• The advantage of MYGOLD’s wedding ring and engagement rings is that it makes use of fine GIA certified diamonds and are able to provide certificates for most of the jewelry that they sell. You can customize a jewelry if you want to have your personal touch to be added to the piece.
• They have special discounts and sale on their items so budget-conscious individual who wants to own a jewelry can take advantage of this offers.
