    For most women, glamming up is second nature. It looks good, feels good, and can even bring a good bit of fun. However, there are still people who feel like they need to throw shade at a woman for something as routine as putting on makeup.

    Giving backhanded compliments is one thing, but being rude and snarky is another. And among all the unsolicited words makeup-wearing women get, these are just some that should be retired immediately:

    “Do you really need all that product on your face?”
    “Guys prefer girls that are more natural-looking.”.
    “You look totally different when you don’t have makeup on.”

    Such is the idea behind the new mark. Lip Prism Lipstick by AVON, which encourages women to be unapologetic about their beauty. Every swipe gives you 4,000 prismatic pearls that shine with every move, creating a show stopping look that lasts for hours. It’s the perfect lipstick for when a woman wants to make a statement—the type that needs no explanation.


    FIRST IMPRESSION
    Lipstick is definitely my make up must have! I can really go out just wearing it. I feel like it’s something that makes up my mood and personality. I’ve been a fan of matte lipsticks ever since but these Mark. Prism Lipstick show something else - though it’s glossy, I still like the idea of it being different. Not just the ordinary shiny lipstick we all know. It gives that extra look making us conquer our everyday errands with extra confidence ✨

    There is no denying that Filipinas are strong and beautiful women – but what does it really take to become one?

    Filipinas live in a tiis-ganda culture where they go through lengths of unimaginable pain to look beautiful. Any sign of imperfection is tucked away, concealed. A scar is covered with makeup, a struggle is hidden with a smile when it should be embraced as a mark of triumph.

    As a brand that has always worked to make women feel confident about their own version of beauty, Pantene Philippines started the #StrongerNow movement, recognizing that scars are not meant to be hidden – that they are to be worn with pride, especially that they are signs that a woman is braver, more beautiful, and stronger now because of the struggles she overcame. This campaign aims to inspire Filipinas to celebrate every scar, sweat and struggle that made them the kind of strong they are now.


    #StrongerNow is a collection of stories of struggles and triumphs of Filipinas in all walks of life – from the celebrities we have grown to love to the everyday women we see on our daily commute. It tells stories of real Filipinas whose strength and resilience further let their inner beauty shine.



    ANNE CURTIS-SMITH: CRITICIZED THEN, ON THE TOP OF HER GAME NOW

    We have seen Anne Curtis-Smith grow from a TV sweetheart to a daring movie star with the roles she has taken over the years - she has showcased her excellent entertaining skills through her sold-out concerts, too. What is not familiar to us, however, is the road she paved to break into the showbiz industry. There have been times before she skyrocketed to stardom, when she would struggle to lock in a project but she never stopped working, making her ANNEstoppable!

    GABBI GARCIA: SHY GIRL THEN, GLOBAL ENDORSER NOW

    Gabbi Garcia is another woman the country has fallen in love with, especially for breaking through the beauty standards with her Morena skin that she now wears so proudly, encouraging more Filipinas to do the same. But all this confidence she has now actually started from a deep sense of insecurity, having to get through criticisms for being too “regular-looking”. She let go of her doubts as she learned to find strength in herself and in others, working towards inspiring the people that look up to her that regardless of your looks and what other thinks, it is important to stay true to yourself.

    Pantene Philippines’ all-start lineup of brand ambassadors also share the stories that made them stronger now.


    Anna Cay, vlogger then app owner now
    Alodia Gosiengfiao, hobbyist then gaming idol now
    Chi Gibbs, apprentice then self-made boss now
    Gabs Gibbs, multi-media student then multi-faceted artist now
    Dennise Lazaro, beginner then national athlete now
    Jasmine Curtis-Smith, new comer then award-winning now
    Joyce Pring, student VJ then certified host now
    Say Tioco, self-doubting then confident now
    Kevin Balot, unwelcome then celebrated now
    Danah and Stacey Gutierrez, insecure then self-loving now

    Anna Cay
    Say Tioco

    The stories of struggles and success of Anne and Gabbi, as well as of every Filipina out there made me reminisced all my insecurities back then. I was once that shy girl too. Since I was a kid, I don’t really have that stand on believing on what I can do; I always compare myself to others. And when I started blogging where I can put all my thoughts and ideas through writing, I became more outspoken and it made my channel on expressing who I am. I’m now confident on myself and believes that every struggle I face is the one that will make me stronger.

    With this campaign, Pantene Philippines also launches the new Pantene Pro-Vitamin series, which features the first-ever vitamin shampoo and the 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner that are designed to put in more nutrients with every wash, strengthening hair with resilience to take on daily hair stress. Through the patented Gel Network Technology, hair is replenished with essential nutrients – anti-oxidants, emollients, and Pro-Vitamins – by melting lipids into fibers.


    It comes in the following variants:


    Hair Fall Control

    Total Damage Care

    Silky Smooth Care

    Color Protect

    Each 170 ml Pro-Vitamin shampoo retails for PHP109 and 150 ml 3 Minute Miracle conditioner for PHP 149.

    Cetaphil Philippines runs an event called #7DaysOfCetaphil celebrating healthy and beautiful #MyCetaphilSkin with different topics and influencers/guests on each day. It started last Monday, August 20 which will last this Sunday, August 26, 2018 in SM Makati. 

    I attended the 2nd day event (Tuesday, August 21) with the topic: Skincare 101. Guests are dermatologist, Dra. Mara Huber, bloggers Vern Enciso and Shari Macaraig.



    Our skin is the largest organ in our body. And with that, it really needs the proper care just what we do on our body. Skincare is definitely one of a trend right now, I mean a lot of people are doing this routine. But does all of us know if we’re using the right products? 

    So thankful that Dra. Mara shared her knowledge and gave us these steps on how we can improve our skincare routine:



    1. Know your skin type (3 Basic Skin Types: Normal, Dry, Oily) - definitely on top because there are different products and ingredients for every skin type. It is important to know that every skin condition needs the right treatment because it may become worse if we use the products not suitable for our skin.

    2. Cleanse - facial cleansers are there to remove all the dirt that comes into our face. It’s really good that Cetaphil Cleanser has a pH level of 5.5, which means that it’s gentler than water and can be use by those with sensitive skin and even babies!

    3. Moisturize - these step nourishes and hydrates our skin. It’s also not true that we must skip this part; having a humid weather here in our country, our skin really needs to retain its moisture. As for people with oily skin, a little amount goes a long way but don’t skip! For those with dry skin, 1-2 times a day or even more depending on the skin’s dryness. 

    4. Protect - with all the harmful ray of sun outside, we all need to use a sunscreen everyday! 
    Tip from Dra. Mara: 1 shot glass is the right measurement we must use in our body when applying sunscreen!
    Sunscreen Checklist: 
    SPF 15-50 is the range of good sunscreens with SPF (50 being the best!!)
    It must contain: UVA and UVB protection, broad spectrum and water resistant 
    (Cetaphil Sun has this all!!) 



    Cetaphil offers a wide range of products suitable for every skin type. You can find anything what your skin needs!

    Thank you so much Cetaphil for a fun filled afternoon! 

    Excited to complete my health routine with these Cetaphil goodies! :)

    Palmolive, the country’s #1 personal care brand, unveils a new range of hair care products created for women who aspire to take control of their life and their hair. In a grand event held at Shangri-La the Fort, media partners and guests celebrated the formal launch of Palmolive EXPERTIQUETM in the Philippines and welcomed its brand ambassador, the 1st Filipina winner of Asia’s Next Top Model, Maureen Wroblewitz.


    Women encounter different hair problems and most of them require professional care, so they would often go to salon to get expert results. However, the bigger challenge is how to maintain their salon-beautiful hair until their next salon visit. Emily Fong Mitchell, Marketing Director for Colgate-Palmolive Philippines underlines, “New Palmolive EXPERTIQUETM is a full hair care regimen inspired by and crafted with experts to deliver salon-beautiful hair from the comfort of one’s home. It offers a complete range of hair solutions for those struggling with dull, damaged, and frizz-prone or flyaway hair.”

    Food overload!! So yummmm!

    With my blogger friend Katrin Antonio (L) and blogging inspo Arnie Villanueva (R)
    Palmolive EXPERTIQUETM puts to fore their latest in hair care technology. The products in this new line that are infused with activated Kera-Ceramide Serum (KCS), contain technology that offers the powerful combination of Keratin and Ceramides, nourishing hair from the inside out.


    “Its formula with the two-fold efficacy of the KCS technology differentiates Palmolive EXPERTIQUETM from other hair care brands. Keratin deposits protein back into the hair for added strength, smoothness, and protection. Ceramides, on the other hand, help restore proper balance within the hair, and provide a protective barrier that shields hair from damage,” Nymia Raagas, Personal Care Consumer Innovation Center Director for Colgate-Palmolive Philippines explains.

    The new Palmolive EXPERTIQUETM product line consists of three variants of shampoo and conditioner: REVITALISTE which is infused with activated KCS, Biotin and Hyaluronic for normal to dry hair to enhance hair vitality and natural movement; SMOOTHIQUE with activated KCS and Rare Oil Complex for frizzy, flyaway hair to align, tame, and add control to hair strands; and RESILIENTE, which has activated KCS and Arginine for damaged or over-treated hair to reconstruct and fortify hair against damage.



    Complementing the shampoo and conditioner to complete the regimen are three hair treatments: the Intensive Hair Mask that hydrates and helps restore strength and elasticity of dry, damaged hair; the Beautifying Hair Oil which provides intense nutrition for enhanced shine and silkiness of hair; and the Anti-Frizz Serum that protects hair against frizz and flyaways.


    Palmolive EXPERTIQUETM makes it possible for Filipino women to step out of their homes with salon-beautiful on a daily basis, giving them that added boost of confidence and making them more empowered to take charge of their goals, their achievements, and their beauty. Brand endorser and top model Maureen Wroblewitz shares, “Just like the majority of women out there, I too desire to have salon-beautiful hair everyday, and not just when I’m coming from a shoot or a runway show. With Palmolive EXPERTIQUETM, I am my own hair expert. I am able to take charge of not only my beauty, but my everyday too. With Palmolive EXPERTIQUETM, I can OWN IT.”


    The new Palmolive EXPERTIQUETM premium hair care range is available in all leading supermarkets nationwide. For more information, please visit www.facebook.com/PalmoliveExpertiquePH.

    Thank you so much Palmolive for having me! :)
