My Watsons Celebrity Switch and Save Experience

I am not a very conservative shopper. I don't really look for brands, or consider buying something just because it is well-known or the new "it" product. I always look for the quality. Especially for my beauty essentials. Watsons is my frequent beauty-shop stop. Come on, they're everywhere! How can you resist not going inside their branches when all you can see is a "buy one get one" label?!

When I found myself roaming around SM The Block with my sister, I decided to drop by Watsons to repurchase some of my daily needs - like shampoo, conditioner, wet wipes, etc..

And guess who was the one doing some cashiering and assisting shoppers? It's the model, host, teacher, blogger, and mom-to-be, Patty Laurel-Filart. She dropped by Watsons at The Block SM North Edsa for last minute shopping for her baby essentials and to surprise others as she plays store supervisor for the day.

She recommended some of the best products to switch with in order to save more! Patty says that her secret to maintaining her moisture and deeply nourished hair is the Watsons Treatment Shampoo Argan Oil. She personally recommended it to me, so I got two for myself lol. I can be easily persuaded sometimes. Can I blame her? Definitely no!

That was the time when I fully realized how big the Watsons brand range is. It's a lot to take in that I got really overwhelmed and had a difficulty choosing. In the end, I bought a couple of things that I thought I needed.

I really planned to share my haul that day, unfortunately when we got home, my mother was very surprised by me carrying a lot of Watsons paper bags. Honestly, it was a challenge; going home riding a train with all the shampoos, lotions, baby powder, and many more. It was worth it, though, since I got to save almost 80%  with my beauty essentials. And that concludes my Watsons Celebrity Switch & Save experience.
