A Growing Beautéderm Family: Belle Dolls Ambassadors MIGUEL TANFELIX, YSABEL ORTEGA, SOFIA PABLO and SHAIRA DIAZ

A few weeks ago, we got wind of how Beautéderm will announce their Belle Dolls ambassadors. Suffice to say, we were all excited about it. We didn't know who it would be til now. Meet the newest addition to the Beautéderm family, BELLE DOLLS Ambassadors Miguel Tanfelix, Sofia Pablo, Ysabel Ortega, and Shaira Diaz. They will now be under the wing of Beautéderm CEO Rei Tan.

BELLE DOLLS is a line of FDA and Halal approved supplements and drinks designed to promote health and wellness as basis for good skin. It makes sense because yes, if you want to look good, it starts from that.

Ms. Rei says "It all boils down to effectivity. There may be a lot out there in the market, but it becomes very commercial, and we're not even sure about the ingredients they use. We can't have too much sugar at a certain age, which is why I made sure that the studies and research they did with BELLE DOLLS, I'd be hands on. I'm in my ideal weight and form because of it, even though I haven't had rice in months, I still crave sweets. It's a good thing I have drinks from BELLE DOLLS which has stevia. It is doctor approved, and I use it. I'm a DOLL."

She adds "I chose them because they represent different age groups. We already have endorsers for other products that represent 40's, 30's, 20's that in fact don't look their age. I'm completing my babies, and this time, we've got young ones. I only ask a few things, if they are kind, if they post about it, and hardworking. Shaira for example wasn't part of us initially, but EA was and even then she was showcasing products she get from EA. Ysabel on the other hand, I love her, every milestone we celebrate, and she's there. The simple things she does, I appreciate that. Sofia too, she's a very sweet girl, very polite and approaches me all the time when at events. So does Miguel, that's how I look for my Belle Dolls ambassadors, it's nothing complicated. With them as our ambassadors, we know we'll get the message across our consumers."

Here's the press conference on video, please enjoy!

Shaira says "At first, I really got giddy when the Beautéderm informed me that I will be part of the BELLE DOLLS. I remember using Beautéderm Cristaux products and showing her the effects, because it was my first time using products like that. I am very honored being part of this. I was already using it prior to them telling me about it, and I knew the effects, so I really believe in the product. That's what I want to have because we don't want to be ashamed of a product I personally use and endorse. I could recommend this to friends and family because I know its effects, and see the change."

Miguel told us "I'm very excited actually, because Ysabel has been a long time part of Beautéderm Family. And when she gets products, she tells me what her favorites are and also shares some of it for me to use. I got very excited when they told me I'm going to be part of Beautéderm's BELLE DOLLS, and the only guy. It's not just the products, but how they really take care of their endorsers. I've heard a lot of things, so I'm glad I get to be part of that. I'm excited also to meet brothers and sisters from the brand, and Ms. Rei. I'm a coffee lover, and it's perfect that I get to endorse BELLE DOLLS Healthy Coffee. It's got great ingredients!"

And of course, Miguel will be with Ysabel in an endorsement, that's a good thing!

Oral Sunblock Duo

Dark Chocolate, Caramel Macchiato, Stem Cell Lychee and Strawberry, Collage in Kiwi Cucumber and Avocado 

Ysabel says "A lot of their products are quality, you'll be sure of that. We tried, and it is effective. I used to be iffy in the past with drinks, but the packaging, the message it promotes, it's so happy looking... and if you see something like this, and taste it, it's my favorite now. You shouldn't just be taking care of your beauty outside, but also inside. I am so happy because it's something new, and it's amazing!"

Sofia adds "Even way before I've been able to talk to Ms. Rei and now that I'm going to be part of this, she knew how excited I am. I don't use sunblock much because I'm a little lazy, but this is oral sunblock, very easy to take."

If you want to do the extra mile and take care of your skin from within, BELLE DOLLS have products that can do that. It will be available in Beautéderm physical stores, online in different channels as they've got trusted franchisees around the country that you can get it from. I've personally used the Belle Dolls Beauté Secret Strawberry Lychee Drink and it's my favorite. What's yours?

Scenes from GMA's SPARKLE SPELL 2023

If you've been seeing them all over social media, here's a glimpse on what happened last October 22 at the SPARKLE SPELL, the heavily anticipated and star studded Halloween party of Sparkle GMA Artist Center. Donned in their Halloween costumes, they went to a grand venue called XYLO at the Palace in BGC.

Mind you, each individual GMA star actually thought about what they wanted to wear, getting to fulfill their Halloween fantasies for one night, much to the amusement of their peers, GMA executives and the media. They all got to the Black Carpet where hosts Martin Javier, Shuvee Etrata, Migs Almendras and gorgeous Janeena Chan were tasked to ask about what they wore in detail that evening. This was all broadcasted in Sparkle's social channels such as TikTok, Facebook and on YouTube. It was the talk of the town, and got Sparkle Spell 2023 in the day's trending topics as fan groups also cheered on their favorite stars that night.

Of course, the night wouldn't be complete without seeing Sparkle's brightest like 5 Breakups and a Romance star Alden Richards. For those, who are BarDa fans, they came in their best Anime and GOT characters, pretty good to see them in one place (be sure to also watch their show!). Aside from them, your favorites Julie Anne San Jose (who just came back from Israel OMG), Kyline Alcantara, Voltes V's Jamie  Ysabel Ortega and good looking Miguel Tanfelix (Mad Hatter) plus the sexy and sultry Sanya Lopez who just went in the venue and had fun with their co-stars.

Much of them who really made an effort didn't go empty handed as various awards were given to them. I AM Worldwide gave Miguel Tanfelix and Jillian Ward (aside from the Urban Smile Most Spooktacular Smile Award) the I AMazing Looks of the Night. Sanya got Juju Glow's Enchantingly Fresh Star of the Night, while Kyline Alcantara got the O Wow! Outfit from food brand Oishi (and yes she looked awesome!). Teen loveteam Sofia Pablo and Allen Ansay had a Barbie and Ken themed costume, which got them TikTok's Crowd Favorites. Miguel and Ysabel took the Fabulously Scary Costumes of the Night award with their Alice in Wonderland themed costumes, it was a fitting Voltes V Legacy reunion out there too. Real life lovers Rayver Cruz and Julie Anne San Jose did a Scooby Doo number, it was fun to se Fred and Daphne personified (if you grew up watching the series, they did good!).

Using his muscles to good use, Derric Monasterio got into character and did Achilles, complete with a shield, sword, leather and a live horse OMG, which also won him Black Carpet Stunner Award that night. That was super deserved!

Giving multiple Stars of the Night awards to Barbie Forteza, Liezel Lopez, Martin Del Rosario, Joaquin Domagoso, and the incomparable Sassa Gurl was just a lovely gesture, they did the work with the outfits they made and yes, with a socially relevant statement on some of them, it was all so impressive! Voltes V Legacy stars Miguel Tanfelix, Ysabel Ortega, Radson Flores, Matt Lozano and Raphael Landicho planned well wearing the Alice in Wonderland themed outfits, making them a fitting winner for the Sparkle Stars of the Night Award. They did their research well, and seriously did crazy good!

This event wouldn't be possible without the help of the countless presenters and sponsors like Oishi, Juju glow, Caltrate, Urban Smiles, IAM Worldwide, Avignon Clinic, JLA Seafoods, Sweet Comfort Events Management (who coordinated the actual event), TikTok Philippines, the fabulous Gideon Hermosa and his team from the House of Hermosa, Niceprint Photos (where these shots came from). They also send their thanks to Air Asia, Cebuana Lhullier, Clinique, Premier Drip, Kemans, Merlion Entertainment and Philip Stein, everyone who made Sparkle Spell 2023 a resounding success!

Thanks for letting us see SPARKLE SPELL this 2023! :) This was really so much fun! So, which one was your favorite?

Ysabel Ortega, Elle Villanueva, Sophia Seneron Opens Own a NAILANDIA Salon

Proud owners of NAILANDIA IL TERRAZO Tomas Morato, Ysabel Ortega, Elle Villanueva, Sophia Seneron

It must have been fun doing VOLTES V LEGACY over at GMA when Sparkle stars Ysabel Ortega, Elle Villanueva, Sophia Seneron met on set initially as just mere co-stars, then friends, and now business partners. The three promising stars from the Kapuso network just opened their own NAILANDIA Nail Salon over at IL TERRAZO at Tomas Morato in Quezon City. And by the looks of it, they're excited for what's about to happen to this venture they're doing because obviously, they're so passionate about it.

Ysabel, Elle and Sophia went out a couple of times during the filming of VOLTES V LEGACY but always found themselves going to a NAILANDIA Salon in BGC which they loved because of the service they get. True enough, they felt right at home to be called "SUKI" because it's the least they can do to take care of themselves, their looks, especially for the demanding requirements of being celebrities in GMA. After realizing they wouldn't probably meet after the show, they promised to see each other regularly which is why they thought of doing business. They decided to incorporate with equal shares, and now they've put up a company that would be able to do other businesses. Their child project however was this NAILANDIA Salon. Now you can go to this branch at the ground floor if you want Nail Art, Manicure, Pedicure, Foot Spa, Paraffin Wax, Massage, or your eyelashes done in a jiffy. They took sweet time training all their staff to make sure you get your money's worth each time you go to a Nailandia branch. Here's their story on how they started:

During the first few days of operations, they had family, friends, especially those who helped them put up the salon. It wasn't easy, and they had to ask favors from a lot of people to finish the construction of this branch. The look definitely was white and bright, you'll feel relaxed just as soon as you step into the establishment. It was cold and breezy, the perfect ambiance while you get your nails done, and yes, even I tried to get my nails worked on. I say, they did quite an excellent job with what I had in mind!

 

Supportive boyfriends (I think hehe) Derrick Monasterio and Miguel Tanfelix

They've got this done and plan to do more in the future. Aside from that, they're raring to do a good job in the separate projects they are doing right now. Ysabel by the way will be appearing in Firefly together with Miguel Tanfelix, Elle on the other hand will be doing projects with Derrick Monasterio (who was also there by the way and said "I LOVE YOU!" loudly when they cut the ribbon), plus Sophia who will be doing more episodes of Pepito Manaloto. As much as they've worked on their shows, they want to also do businesses together since they are now a corporation. They will be at the branch every now and then so if you're fond of them, go visit them today!

Congratulations Ysabel Ortega, Elle Villanueva and Sophia Seneron... you are now proud owners of your own NAILANDIA branch. Here's to more days of working hard, and harvesting the fruits of your labor.
