JENNYLYN MERCADO is the face of Beautéderm's CRISTAUX Threemendous Trio Serum Line

When you hear the name Jennylyn Mercado, you think of an actress who's got everything you want in one. She's the iconic "bhe", who's very kind, very down to earth, a mother, and wife to Dennis Trillo. It's been a while since we've seen her, but nothing seems to have changed. She's still the same beautiful woman we've adored since she won Starstruck.

Today was a special day, so Beautéderm threw her a welcome party. This is the day that they have also announced that she is the brand ambassador for the new CRISTAUX Three-mendous Trio. A line of serums meant to take care of the ravages of time, and day to day care for unblemished skin. One is the Skin Energizing Vitamin C, ZERUM Hydra Beauty Skin Brightening Serum (with Zinc), and my personal favorite the RETINOL Skin Repair Serum.

Beautéderm CEO Ms. Rei Tan and Jennylyn have been talking quite a lot through messages, but have never actually met in person. In the photoshoot for this campaign, they were finally able to do that.

Jennylyn says "When I met her, she was very nice, very humble, inspiring and I was very happy that this pushed through. We had to go through hurdles because when initial talks happened, I was pregnant and just gave birth. There were so many times we wanted to do this, but now it happened. She really took good care of me, she's a different person, it's in her nature to ask if I'm comfortable or I'm okay. She also asked if I was full, if the team was full, I was so happy to learn that I was in the right place."

She adds "When I got the serums at home, I immediately wanted to use it because I don't endorse anything that I don't personally use. I had to put it in my existing skin care regimen. I have very sensitive skin, and in fairness, I ended up with glowing skin. I use the Vitamin C Serum with facial wash and moisturizer. I use the Hydra Serum at night, but just do the retinol as needed. I usually go outdoors and ride motorcycles. I am exposed to the elements, and the sun. I sometimes suffer sun spots and pigmentation, I use the retinol for it including the age spots. I'm not young anymore so I do have fine lines and this takes care of that."

Ms. Rei Anicoche-Tan remarks "If you're a Beautéderm baby, there's something in common about us.. there's a glow. Even with light makeup, you can see that in our endorsers. Jen will be the face of all of our facial products, but we are promoting this new line. You can see this being used by me, and our endorsers. We only get people who love and know about the products, and she's the perfect one to represent that. I'm very proud of our ambassadors, even the guys, we just don't get endorsers just because of face value because consumers are smart now. They know if they use the product and if they want to emulate, they've got Beautéderm behind them. They believe and buy because of that." 

Here's the rest of the event on video, please enjoy!

Beautéderm wants you to age less and glow more with the new THREE-mendous Trio. Now is the time to add serums in your existing skincare routine especially if you feel like you are aging a bit. Not when it's too late!

Congratulations Jen! Thank you Ms. Rei for always having us in your events... and of course, taking care of our skin! I love your BEAU and new CRISTAUX line, plus that lovely detangle Brush which I use on a daily basis! 

Descendants of the Sun Starts February 10

It was nice to see the actors that will portray the interesting characters of the hit Korean drama Descendants of the Sun. Some GMA Executives, Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine Navy and other sectors got a treat to finally see a very long video telling us a short bio of these interesting soldiers, medical personnel and their families. 

We were all surprised because after the intro, they had us watch the first episode of DOTSPH, where honestly, it was quite awesome. They probably spent a lot of time meticulously shooting and editing this, you must see it for yourself this January. 

Dingdong says "We have been waiting for this to happen and hope viewers would be able to appreciate it. We've made the story more pinoy. We're very proud of it!"

Jennylyn adds "Each scene is big, super hard to do but all worth it. We all kept ourselves in character, the director, peoole behind the scenes and actors did all their best to make this even better." Jen and Dingdong play Captain Lucas Manalo and Dr. Maxine Dela Cruz, a soldier and a doctor, who's lives intertwine, unceremoniously.

Big Boss and Beauty (of which they are fondly called) will also have Rocco Nacino and Jasmine Curtis on the helm to play Technical Seargent Diego Ramos and Captain Moira Defensor, who is also going to be an interesting love story. Jennylyn is in her element, the romcom treatment is a cool addition to the original story, I guess that will certainly be different with Pinoy humor. 

Descendants of the Sun The Philippine Adaptation will begin this February 10, 2020. The first episode is something to look forward to because it will include some back story of the different characters plus the effective little romance that Jennylyn and Dingdong could do. If we didn't know they're married we'd mistake them for a pair really.

GMA’s Starstruck on their 7th Season

Starstruck is back, and they’re promising an even more exciting search for the greatest male and female survivor. Dream, Believe, Survive still means what it means as they announced how they are choosing some of the of the hopefuls this 2019. It’s their 7th Season, scoured the whole country and got 80 during first screening. They screened again and got that in half, then into 22 (which they are currently filming), and now face the judges Heart Evangelista, Ms. Cherie Gil and Jose Manalo. There will be only 14 survivors battling it out later on, they hope to get one male and female to be declared as their ultimate survivor.

Kyline Alcantara will serve as online host. So you can see her 6pm on social media channels and she’ll get to update you on what happens during, before and after the show. She was so pretty earlier armed with light makeup, nude lips and nude gown.

Dingdong Dantes says “First up, we will remove someone on the first episode. First gap, you will hear that familiar heartbeat. One of the major differences is social media, the hopefuls have no involvement with their journey back then but now they have direct access to them. Jenny now has tons of projects, she is committed to her craft. Whatever background they have, it doesn’t matter but you have to know their personality, on how they cope with the challenges. If they dance or sing, their story will reflect when they are on stage and you will see their authentic.”

Heart Evangelista says “It is such a big name ever since I watched the show. It is my first time to judge ,but it is an experience. They all have some characteristics to relate to, it takes time to know them but I can relate to their stories. It takes time to see their authenticity and star quality, it has to be how they carry themselves and I’d like to invest in their sense of being, it is my idea of star quality. I think it is important to also have talent, beauty can come later. ”

Ms. Cherie Gil says “I didn’t know Jennylyn came from this show but I was more part of Protege. Now with the final 14, we have them, each looking out for their dream and we have to be careful choosing them. I can tell there are some strong possibilities, but there are people who bloom, I hope it happens because they will have their moments. There will always be a second copycat. Millennials know when you are bsing them, so the word authenticity is great. My personal opinion is someone who has personality and talent, my expectations are high because I was looking for triple threats, if it goes with looks, then he’s the lucky one.”

Jose says “This is not easy because you have to decide once you see them, right then and there. The looks, they have that, but I am looking for someone who can do everything when he stands there, to find someone genuine but you want to look for how they develop into the person they are. You can see it when they stand in front of you.”

Starstruck will be aired Saturday June 15 and will be every weekend, make sure you support your favorites!
