MEGAN YOUNG Ecstatic About Working Again with MEGAN BEAUTY

 

It was such a beautiful afternoon to be in the midst of ladies clad in their best yellow ensembles for a luncheon, and beauty day together with Miss World 2013, Megan Young. It's been a while since I've seen her, and the last time I think was also an event. Today was sort of a celebration because MEGAN Beauty is renewing their ties with the gorgeous lady from Zambales, the one with a very kind soul.

They also dub this event as "Megaganda Ka Pa: Megan Beauties Day", to thank the countless people who have supported them all these years. With their namesake Megan Young as part of their endorsers, she felt like home for so many women who use the several products they have released. Though so beautiful, Megan doesn't even put makeup that much, only when work calls, and invests more on her skin. It shows, she has that certain glow that if you see her with or without makeup, she's still gorgeous. 

Lifestrong COO Ms. Marge Lee saw how ideal Megan young is to represent the brand. She does a whole lot more than just a beauty queen, she's also a model, host, vlogger, gamer, and wife to Mikael Daez. Women who delve into different facets, in different industries, those who are empowered, would be the best fit for Megan Beauty. 

Megan Young says "Thank you for making me a part of Megan Beauty, I am happy that I get to work with a company that I believe in and of course, kapangalan ko! There's no truth that I own the brand, I'm just so glad that we could get to be here, you know how good Megan Beauty is and how easy it is to use their products. It's something that you always have to have at home, and stocked because if you have people visiting and they ask what you use for skincare, you just give them a few of your favorite Megan Beauty products! I remember so many people want my Facial Foam, but remember, Megaganda ka pa!" 

Here's more of our small talk with Miss World, Megan Young!

Seeing Megan Young represent a brand that has her same ideals, and makes her even more beautiful, is just fate. The people behind the brand are too, and if there's something that you would need to do after learning about it, is try it. Try the things Megan and Ms. Marge used, and let them know what works for you on their social channels. Follow them for skincare tips too. 

Congratulations to both Megan and Megan Beauty!

BELA PADILLA Launches Own Beauty Brand BELA

Bela Padilla has made waves being a very versatile actress, a noted writer, and a very talented director. Since last year, she's been living in the UK and have been enjoying and found refuge in the cold weather, while still being able to work in PH based projects when needed. She goes back to the Philippines when needed and this time, she's wearing a new hat other than endorsing beauty brands. She made one of her own, and called it properly, BELA.

BELA Dot Perfection and BELA Color Changing Lip Balm

 

Two products were introduced during the launch namely BELA Dot Perfection and BELA Color Changing Lip Balm. We got to ask her a few questions during the event and she says "I've been using this cheek and lip balm for a few months since I had prototypes. I really use it, and when I put my name on it I truly believe it. I have been on hiatus, but today I believe you guys can use it too. I know it works, and I leave the house with nothing but tint. The video earlier showcased different people of different ages. It is safe for everyone, and can say I'm the biggest fan of it. The first collection is just 2 things, but you can use it every day."

She adds "We are now available in three malls in Bacolod where we did a pre launch. Apply only one dot on each cheek because it is very potent (hence a tube will last you a few months). We found manufacturers in the Philippines and tested it with a lot of people. It was the best way we could see if the products work or not. This is color adaptive so it can be used for different skin types. It looks natural and will look like skin blush as an end product. We want to do this first and maybe have other artists or people to do other products under the Bela brand. It's very moisturizing, and I'm even very sensitive and I use this constantly. I get breakouts with other brands but this one had no reaction on me."

As for the brand, she mentioned "I wanna veer away from empowerment angle because I believe it's not because of looks that we become confident. I don't have a full face of makeup, but I want people to feel good even without putting much on our skin."

Here's our interview with her a few days ago, listen in!

Bela is quite happy how this all seem to turn out. From countless hours of conceptualizing a product that she loves, to using it countless times even without anything on in public, just these two. She also packaged it in her lucky color, made it for the tropical climate and want every mary, joe, rupaul or brando to use it if they feel like it. No matter what shape or form you are, you can use BELA. She found her brand, you can too.

Congratulations Bela! You deserve all the success because you're a kind soul.

CATHY DOLL Holds #WhatADollDay at SM North EDSA

The gorgeous people from CATHY DOLL Philippines made the SM Beauty space even prettier with a #WhatADollDay event. This was done for folks who love the brand and onlookers that would want to get first dibs of their newest CC Cream line and new products together with influencers Toni, Echo, Cha and Dior... and a surprise guest they revealed later on, the Asoka Challenge Queen herself Lenie Aycardo.

This is the first time I was covering a Cathy Doll event, and I used to see them in different BL series that I watch especially those from Thailand. They're extremely popular, and with good reason, because their products really do work. It also doesn't cost much which makes it possible for them to be used for a greater demographic. It was so nice to see the brand also puts importance in being inclusive hence their endorsers. No matter what orientation, shape or form you are, Cathy Doll products are made especially for you.

 Now for those of you who missed it, don't fret because I've got it on video! Check this out!

Jericho and Dior took time to introduce the Cathy Doll CC Lip Serum and Cathy Doll Get Set Go Browcara. They have these in different shades and scents, and can be used if you are either fair or brown skinned. I'd be surprised how confident Jericho was during the talk and how he showed it doesn't make you less of a man if you are using cosmetics these days, as they say, it's already 2024! Dior on the other hand taught how to apply the browcara, as some of you may know, it'll make your brow appear more pronounced but not leech like. It looked good on them and it was applied in a few minutes. Men need perfect brows too.

Toni and Cha on the other hand put importance on the base foundations, powders and concealers. Aside from skin prep, you need to have the right shade for those dark spots. Being fair or morena, Cathy Doll has several products for you like the Cathy Doll Vitamin C Ampoule Powder Pact Press Powder, Cathy Doll Vitamin C Ampoule Concealer and the Cathy Doll ACNE CC Speed Oil Control Powder in Translucent form. You can use these products to make sure your makeup not only stays, but won't crack on you in the long run. It also covers imperfections on the skin, without it feeling heavy at all.

Lenie Aycardo talked in front to tell how she was able to use Cathy Doll products even for the Asoka Challenge which she was famous for. She's a long time user and was surprised with the new ones that they launched on this day because they previous ones were already apt for the different looks she made on the video. She also shares that it doesn't need to be expensive in order to get quality make up, Cathy Doll has different ones for different skin tones and if she could do it, so can you!

Right now, I'm slowly checking what products I could use for my daily regimen since I need to take care of my lips specifically. These new lip serums and tints would be quite handy to carry around especially for events that I cover and go to. 

Congratulations to Cathy Doll Philippines, SM Beauty and their team for making sure that women, men and everything between would have options. This launch just solidifies that!
