With a daily gold bar up for grabs, 60-plus brands and games designed to keep you playing, Shopathon Mania Fest is a must for your calendar
Watsons is turning 185 and it is celebrating the milestone the only way a beauty and wellness giant knows how: with an enormous, week-long festival that promises deals, prizes, interactive games and, for one very fortunate shopper per day, a 10-gram gold bar. Watsons Shopathon Mania Fest runs from 22 to 28 June 2026 at Compass One Level 2 Atrium, and it is shaping up to be the most rewarding retail experience of the year in Singapore.
The headline draw is the prize pool with more than 7,000 prizes with a combined value of $100,000. Those prizes range from Watsons gift cards and branded vouchers to exclusive product giveaways. The one everyone will be angling for is the daily 10-gram gold bar, hidden amongst 185 mystery boxes in a nod to the brand's 185-year history.
Three Games, One Very Good Reason to Spend
Every $50 nett spent at the festival unlocks entry to one of three interactive game challenges. First up is The Great Blind Box Showdown, the headline attraction: 185 mystery boxes, each concealing a prize, with one hiding the coveted gold bar. Next, The Ultimate Stack & Glow Up challenges shoppers to recreate a designated product stack against the clock, nerves of steel required. Finally, the Digital Joypot invites you to pull a lever and hope three matching logos align for an instant reward. All three are designed as sure-win or consolation-prize experiences, so no one leaves empty-handed.
60-Plus Brands, Up to 70% Off
The festival floor brings together more than 60 beauty, health and wellness brands under one roof, with savings of up to 70 percent across the board.
Not sure where to start? Here are a few of our picks to guide your haul. The Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun (SPF50+ PA++++) is a perennial bestseller and a firm Vanilla Luxury tried-and-tested favourite. Formulated with rice extract and probiotics, it delivers broad-spectrum protection while keeping skin nourished and hydrated, with no white cast.
For deep hydration, the Torriden Dive-In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a standout, combining hyaluronic acid and ceramides in a lightweight formula that is both reef-safe and cruelty-free, making it a reliable daily essential for dry and sensitive skin types.
If a weekly mask moment is more your speed, the Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask has become one of the most talked-about Korean face masks in recent years, built on a patented ultra-low-molecular collagen base and clinically shown to deliver significant moisture increases sustained well beyond the mask session itself. If clearer, smoother skin is your goal, the Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Toner has earned its cult status with its triple-acid formula combines AHA for brightness, BHA to unclog pores, and the gentler PHA to exfoliate and hydrate simultaneously. For anyone dealing with sensitivity or redness, the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Toner is formulated with high-quality centella asiatica alongside niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and betaine. It is alcohol-free, paraben-free and designed to keep skin bright, supple and balanced. Meanwhile, Rejuran is the brand to know if you are serious about skin renewal powered by its patented salmon-derived PDRN ingredient, it is the consumer skincare line born from the same science behind clinic-grade injectable treatments, now formulated to visibly improve texture, hydration and radiance at home.
On the wellness side, Swisse and GNC are worth a browse for anyone looking to stock up on supplements, alongside crowd favourites such as Oral-B, Caltrate, Sensodyne, Tiger Balm, Kotex, GNC and Watsons Collection.
A New Name Worth Knowing - Shimbi Method Comes to Singapore
If you only discover one new brand at Shopathon Mania Fest, make it Shimbi Method. Japan's first ingredient-led skincare brand has just arrived in Singapore with a seven-product debut range. Born from the intersection of Japanese aesthetic precision and clinical dermatology, Shimbi Method's is defining the commitment of transparency. Every bottle clearly states what is in it, why it is there and at what concentration, removing the guesswork from building an effective routine. The price points make it even harder to ignore: this is clinic-grade thinking at genuinely everyday prices. Recommendations from the lineup include the Medicated Brightening Serum which combines 5% arbutin and vitamin C with 1.1% tranexamic acid for measurable dark spot reduction in as little as 14 days, and the Bakuchiol + Retinol Derma Serum, a clever dual-tube formula that keeps actives separate until dispensing to preserve potency. Those dealing with dullness and enlarged pores will want to reach for the Niacinamide 30% Derma Serum, the brand's highest-concentration formula yet, buffered with 14 amino acids for comfort. Want more? Head to the Shimbi Method pop-up within the Watsons Shopathon Atrium for a complimentary 60-second skin analysis, 20% off launch pricing and gifts with purchase.
