we were teamed up to do the shopping challenge.

"Thinking of our shopping plan"

Our main goal was to do a little Lifestyle makeover

for our person of choice

we decided to make "Happy Kits" for each other 

We were given a total of 10,000 pesos of GC

and divided it equally

I met mike and karl though the internet about a year ago
Karl and i started chatting at lookbook.nu

Dear blog,

 Last  june 21 Jenny Yrasuegui  was kind enough to invite me to the press  launch of Watsons new product line. I was with my fellow bloggers mike of http://toxicdiscoboy.blogspot.com  and karl of http://totallyinkarlcerating.blogspot.com

The event was held at  The Upper east restaurant at Legaspi Village.

                   They launched 3 skin care lines specifically catered for Asian men and women  

 i have been Using the Products for a few weeks now and im really happy with their new line.

Well , I have very sensitive skin as in i get rashes and break out after using skin products that i am not familiar with.

I used different products from each line and here is my review: 

1.). Watsons Men

 I love the scent of the products . Also being a man, I’m grateful that we are able to have a product that targets our needs. Since we just have a limited number of affordable toners and moisturizers that is available in the market.

A. Hydrating line (blue)
B. Oil control line (green)

which consists of A.) toner B.) facial wash C.)Facial scrub D.) moisturizer 

 my favorite from this line facial scrub and Toner (hydrating line)

2.) Beyond bath  

The eco friendly bath and body products skin care line was quiet a surprise, a luxurious product that is affordable. 

 It’s not harsh yet it does moisturize and nourish my skin plus its organic. Since it’s available in watsons, its easier and more convenient for a spaholics and beauty buff like me. It’s like having a spa at home.

                                 

Product line:

a.)Sunflower gentle bar soap b.)Grapefruit pore cleansing bar soap c.) Nature Glow lighting bar d.)Sunflower soothing soap-free body wash e.) Grapefruit rejuvenating soap-free body wash f.) Nature Glow Lighting soap-free body wash g.) Sunflower Soothing Hand and Body lotion h.)Grapefruit Rejuvenating hand and Body lotion
i.) Sunflower Nurturing shampoo and conditioner j.) Grapfruit Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner 

Bunus points 

(100% filipino made) (no animal testing) (100% organic) 

check out their site
www.beyond-bath.com

my top pick from this line  products from Grapefruit line especially the Volumizing Shampoo

3.)Pure beauty 

It is specifically catered for asian women. This line is my favorite amongst the three. I maybe a man but still it was incredible. I love how it deeply moisturizes my face giving it a soft, supple and glowing skin. 

steps to achieve beauty 

Detoxify+Neutralize+energize+ Brighten 

A.) 2-in-1 foam cleanser b.) Pomegranate Antioxidant toner c.)moisturizer: day gel and night cream D.) pomegranate Antioxidant essence 

my favorite from this Line Toner and antioxidant 
essence 
Pure beauty will be available in all watsons beginning August 2010

the goodies

There are a lot of skincare products available in the market that offers women the same thing but since it’s watsons, it offers more than what other product promises. It is affordable and convenient beauty skin care line that is available in all sm department stores nationwide.
