Avail Vice Cosmetics' Anne Clutz Gel Liner in Soft Lang on Shopee

Anne Clutz Gel Liner in Soft Lang available on Shopee (before it's Php195 now it's Php188) 

Have you ever experienced trying on different eyeliners because you find other brands a bit complicated or not fit on you and is making you feel uncomfortable? Well, I did. I am guilty of that actially. 

You remember that there had been a time when almost all the,women went "gaga" over putting a liner on their eyelids? That was a huge huge fad then. But because of that, it made us realize that it even existed way, way before ... the era of Cleopatra, remember? She had perfected the art of applying an eyeliner. She was a pro in that aspect. 

I know we all wanna be like her, right? So what could be the perfect way to be able to do that? Well, I found the answer girls! I've tried  Vice Cosmetics products and look what I've found... it's Anne Clutz Gel liner in Soft Lang . 


Create dramatic lewks from dramatic wings to smokey eyes with this retractable gel liner. This intenz formulation is smooth, creamy and glides evenly along the lash line. It's ANNEmatched pigmentation and staying power allows you to create endless lewks that just won't budge! 


Anne Cluts Gel liner is available in two variants: Soft Lang Brown and Intenz Black 

For me, due to my skintone, I guess what's best for me is the Soft Lang Brown. 

I was wearing Vice Cosmetics' Anne Clutz Gel liner in Soft lang Brown 

Please tell me I did justice on my eyeliner :) You know what, it really takes time to do this huh?! I mean we must be really patient and our hands must be steady and should also be able to create the right angle plus, a clear vision and clean mirror are always a must! 

I have tried different types of eyeliners before ro enhance my pair of eyes, be it a pencil eyeliner, liquid eyeliner, cream eyeliner, powder/cake eyeliner and now a gel liner which I am most fond of.because it's rich, and smooth to apply with, long-lasting, and it really suits me since this is I have oily eyelids so it will be less likely to smear most especially in a humid climate like ours. 

So go check this amazing product on Shopee girls! If you haven't downloaded this amazing online shop yet, you better go to Playstore or App Store like this one 



Happy Shopping!!! Enjoy!!!

An honest review: "My Four-day life with Tecno Pouvoir 4"

         My honest review of Tecno Pouvoir 4 


With all those smartphones being launched and released in the market today, we are at lost as to what to choose and what would really fit or adapt our respective lifestyles. 

Do you also have that scenario? We also resort to asking recommendations from our family and friends regarding what's the best smartphone today that they think would worth our budget and that would serve all the awesome specs they offer. Do you also do that? I bet! 

Right now, with this article, I am doing you a favor :) most especially for those who are on a mobile-hunting-for-myself peeps. I hope that this honest review of the,Tecno Pouvoir 4 would help you somehow to decide and make up your feeble-minds after reading my blog. 

When I got a hand on this newest smartphone that's slowly earning a "mark" in tech world, I immediately decided to free my self up and have a photoshoot schedule in the outdoor. You see, since the outburst of the Covid-19 Pandemic, I rarely go outside... only for very very important and urgent matters that need to attend to. 


Tecno Pouvoir 4 

What's inside the Tecno Pouvoir 4 

  • Charger
  • Headset
  • Screen Protector
  • Rubber Casing
  • Brochures/Pamphlets
  • Tecno Pouvoir 4 Mobile phone

Having a 7-inch HD+ Drop Display feature, it offers the best gaming and video viewing experience. The ‘Pouvoir-ful’ smartphone runs on TECNO Mobile’s HiOS 6.0, which is built on Android Q.




Pouvoir 4 flaunts a premium glossy and sleek design, and is packed with a range of cool features. This includes Face Unlock, Fingerprint Sensor for optimized security, and a dedicated button on the side that launches a virtual Google Assistant (red button at the side) at any time. 



 


Pouvoir 4 is equipped with a 13 megapixel (MP) artificial intelligence (AI) quad camera, two 2MP cameras and an AI lens at the rear, and an 8MP dual flash camera at the front. 


True to the meaning of “pouvoir”, the smartphone comes with a powerful battery life at 6000mAh, capable of powering the smartphone for four days straight with just a single charge. In combination with the smartphone’s 32GB + 3GB for the Pouvoir 4 and 64GB + 4GB  , 128GB + 6GB for the Pouvoir 4 Pro  memory which truly delivers a smooth, glitch-free gaming experience, the Pouvoir 4 proves that it’s one of the most hardworking and performing mobile devices in the market today.


I opted to take the "risk" just to purposely experience the power of Tecno Pouvoir 4 and maximize its usage and functions. I guess indoor shots are not enough for me to review a gadget like this. So I can render an unbiased and reliable review for you amazing peeps based on my lifestyle as a blogger, a fitness enthusiast, a social media specialist and as a homemaker. 

Okay to proceed, I went out jogging/walking with a friend, and we did some photoshoots and video recordings using the Tecno Pouvoir 4. That was the first day... 

Here are some of the Photos and videos I've taken during the first day... 


Photo captured by using AI rear cam (no filter) 



Even if it's still gloomy that morning, Tecno Pouvoir was able to capture this "Panoramic" view (no filter) 



"Bokeh" (no filter) 


This is me (no filter) 




A sample video of the scene that morning (raw video) 



On the second day, I was able to ask help from my son, since he's so fond of playing online games like the mobile legend. Please watch ... 



BTW, my son said it was a tough game but he was able to go through very well because of a smooth, glitch-free and no "log" gaming experience at all since this Tecno Pouvoir 4 has also a "Gaming mode!" So for all of you online gamers out there, now you know what to buy, okay? :)
 

Can you see the "Bokeh" effect? 



On the third day, I had a Zoom blogcon/meeting in the afternoon and was able to use the Tecno Pouvoir 4... 


Do check the battery level guys... in says still has 47% remaining battery life. 



Later that afternoon, I went out again to pick up some items I ordered online from Uniqlo. It was again a gloomy afternoon... so I decided to take some pictures of Instagrammable sights at Circuit Makati.  Would like to share with you these photos...

We can still clearly see the beautiful landscape here in Circuit Makati Ayala Mall (no filter) 



Another picturesque perfect area of the mall (no filter) 



Indoor shot of the Christmas tree (no filter)  Hmmm... can you feel the Christmas spirit?! ;) 


As I was heading back home, couldn't help myself to capture this... 

Such an astounding sunset. Isn't it amazing?! Thank God, I brought this "pouvoir-ful" smartphone. (no filter) 



On the third and final day, I was able to make some clubhouse sandwich and under low light, here's what I got...

A very enticing clubhouse sandwich (ehem!) captured under low lighting by Tecno Pouvoir 4 (no filter) 


Of course our very own Christmas tree! An indoor shot under low lighting again. ( no filter) 

With still few remaining battery life, I was able to test and play (I enjoyed it!) with Tecno Pouvoir 4 AR Stickers! 


Here are some of the AR stickers and I find these so authentic, fun, colorful and creative! Isn't obvious that I had so much fun doing this? Haha please bear with me! 

So basically, that's my "Four-day Life with Tecno Pouvoir 4" guys. You have seen how I had maximized the usage and had my personal experience (except for the gaming haha) with this "Pouvoir-ful" smartphone that's #AlwaysPowerOn 

I'll let the pictures and videos talk to you and I am definitely sure that this will help you decide. Plus, plus, plus not to forget the very powerful 6000 mAh  battery capacity and life from a single charge only! 

Nowadays, everything or everyone must possess a quality or characteristic that would stand-out among the rest, something that will make others remember you... and with Tecno Pouvoir 4, we could optimize its usage for a loooong time... because it's "Always Power On!" 


My verdict? 

Five Kisses for Tecno Pouvoir 4 




The ‘Pouvoir-ful’ smartphone, with TECNO Mobile’s HiOS 6.0 built on Android Q, comes in a variety of colors, and may be purchased from partner retail stores at Php4590 for the Pouvoir 4, Php5990 and Php6990 for the Pouvoir 4 Pro.

Moving Together for Mental Health in the Digital Age

October 10, 2020


Mental health remains one of the most neglected areas of public health globally. According to the World Health Organization , close to 1 billion people are living with a mental disorder yet countries on average spend a mere 2% of their health budgets on mental health, leaving many without access to quality mental health services. In  the Philippines, the Department of Health urges the public to access free mental health e-learning course. 

World Mental Health Day is observed on 10 October every year, and provides an opportunity for the world to come together to address the challenges around mental health. This year, World Health Organization (WHO), the World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) and United for Global Mental Health (UnitedGMH) have joined forces to spark conversations on how the global community can work together through the Move for mental health: let’s invest campaign. The campaign highlights how the COVID-19 pandemic and the implications, including social distancing measures and economic downturns are fuelling fear and anxiety that have further impacted people’s mental health. 

Another implication is the surge in the number of hours people spend online for work, entertainment and staying updated while remaining at home. The excessive time spent online has led to a new set of challenges, such as screen-time addiction and cyber bullying that have made it more important than ever to ensure a positive and balanced online environment. Along with the government and individuals, digital platforms play a big part to help users forge mental and digital resilience.
How digital platforms can be harnessed to promote mental health

From sharing mental health tips to personal struggles, digital platforms can play a critical role in raising awareness and educating users about mental health. TikTok for instance, launched the #thinkb4youdo challenge to encourage users in the Philippines and across the world to take a moment and consider, before partaking in negative behaviour or even dangerous acts online - from cyber bullying to self-harm. Such campaigns are becoming a call to action for the online community to play their part in creating a safe and positive environment for everyone.

With the time we spend online today, more people are becoming aware that maintaining digital wellness is important and they are leveraging digital platforms to raise such awareness. Case in point, medical intern and TikTok creator Kilimanguru addresses mental health in one of his videos captioning: “Mental health matters. STOP THE STIGMA.”



However, digital platforms have a role that goes beyond just facilitating content sharing. There is also a need to ensure that a safe place is created on the platform for people to discover, create and connect. TikTok has rolled out more robust features over the years, such as Screen Time Management and Restricted Mode, and users are empowered to take more control over how much time they want to spend on TikTok and limit the appearance of content that may not be appropriate for them. 
Make a personal commitment for a better mental health
Bringing up mental health challenges is a unique journey for everyone, but people should feel empowered to lead by example and share their battles with others to encourage them to get help. With digital platforms, we have actually seen a rise in people sharing their stories as a way to empower others. Each of us are responsible for our own mental wellbeing and there are practical ways that we as individuals can take to look after our mental health in the digital age, including:
● Reduce time online - We can take a proactive approach to limit the time we spend online by turning off our digital devices at certain times of the day such as when you are sleeping or spending time with our loved ones. We can also disable unnecessary notifications as often it is hard to resist looking at the constant buzzing of new messages even when we are about to go to sleep. There are various measures in place today that help us to control how much time we spend online and we should be making use of these measures actively.

● Change your focus - Many of us turn to devices like our phone purely as a force of habit to mindlessly kill time. But are you escaping into the digital world as a substitute for real life? Turning to apps like social media and forums may be easy and convenient, but there are often healthier, more effective ways to pass time. If you are feeling bored, consider exercising or taking up a new hobby. The takeaway is striking a balance between online and offline interactions and recognising that we do not have to be glued to our screens 24/7.
● Take time for reflection away from the screen - It is very important to have introspective time away from our digital devices and practicing mindfulness. Try journaling or meditating. Keep track of all the great memories and positives — and practice gratitude for all the people and things you have in your life. 

While the above is by no means an exhaustive list, the key here is to make a commitment to prioritize our mental health. It is about taking the first step to understand what we can do as individuals and to act on it so that it is not just something that we talk about. 
It takes a community to address mental health

Raising mental health awareness and eradicating stigma around the topic requires a whole-of-society approach. While each one of us can take concrete actions in maintaining our own mental health, we can also play a role in supporting friends and family who are struggling. Employers for example can take active steps to create employee wellness programs that can help to build a nurturing environment for their organizations. 

Governments are increasingly committing to improving mental health services and making them accessible for all. They can also collaborate more closely with the private sectors and communities to understand the current needs and build relevant solutions to address current gaps. The private and public sectors will need to collaborate more closely than ever before to raise awareness on this crucial issue. Public-private partnerships and programs can help support efforts to raise awareness about mental health. 

This digital day and age has certainly brought about many new challenges, and it is absolutely crucial that digital platforms do their part to help users forge mental and digital resilience. However, the responsibility of promoting mental health does not fall on one person, party or organization. It requires a united approach and everyone can do their part to improve mental health and help others suffering from mental illnesses to expunge the stigma of mental health.

Shopee Strengthens Supports for Brands to Reach Millions of Online Customers with 10.10 Brands Festival

On October 10, shoppers can enjoy free shipping with no minimum spend, big discounts, and amazing deals from leading brands.



Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, continues its strong support for brands with the 10.10 Brands Festival. As more businesses explore the potential of e-commerce during the pandemic, Shopee is committed to providing the optimal environment to help brands of all sizes launch, scale, and succeed online. 

Three leading brands share how they utilize Shopee’s robust suite of marketing and operational solutions, including in-app features and big campaigns to accelerate their business growth online.

Unilever realized the potential of Shopee’s in-app features with its Beauty That Cares Campaign last August. Through ShopeeLive, Unilever spread awareness for its advocacy to help small and local businesses affected by the pandemic. Unilever also uses other Shopee in-app features like Flash Deals and marketing solutions to reach a wider audience and build a seamless and shopping experience for their consumers. 

Jackie Mañago, Digital Commerce Marketing Manager at Unilever, said, “With the recent health crisis, we saw how consumer priorities have shifted and had to re-think the brand experience and find new ways to engage consumers. Thanks to our solid partnership with Shopee, we quickly adapted, strengthened our presence, and continuously served our shoppers amidst the pandemic.”

Despite the limitation of selling channels during the pandemic, Realme routed its focus on e-commerce and gave more importance to offering affordable devices for communication, e-schooling, and work at home with Shopee. Realme was also able to amplify its exposure and increase its sales by using Shopee’s marketing services like ShopeeLive, banners, and campaigns.

Eason de Guzman, Marketing Lead at Realme Philippines, said, “Through ShopeeLive, banners, and the famous Gadget Zone, we have been able to maximize our exposure and provide the best offers in our exclusive launches. Their platform creates a positive and inviting atmosphere, encouraging brands to participate in their campaigns. Since our partnership with Shopee began, we have seen stronger sales, whether it's a launch or sustaining.”

Since the start of the quarantine period last March, Alaska has been working closely with Shopee to boost their brand presence online. Alaska took advantage of Shopee’s highly visible in-app spots such as the flash deals section, marketing tools, and big campaigns to promote their products. With Shopee, Alaska saw 10x growth compared to last year.  

Marx Benedict So, Digital E-Commerce Manager for Alaska Milk Corporation, said, “Data and media are the lifelines of e-commerce. Thanks to Shopee, we can check which of our ads and products perform well using the marketing tool. Segment buys also play a crucial role, especially if there will be an upcoming campaign as these can increase awareness and convert consumers who are not yet exposed to the brand.”

Martin Yu, Associate Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “At Shopee, brands form the backbone of our business. We have built a strong record of helping brands overcome business challenges and shift to online seamlessly with our strong ecosystem of solutions. We launched the 10.10 Brands Festival, the region's biggest online shopping event for brands, to provide brands the needed visibility to further scale their business online. We have also expanded our offerings to help our brand partners find success online, and we will continue to do so to support and empower brands to capture immense growth opportunities in the Philippines.” 

Shopee 10.10 Brands Festival
Shopee 10.10 Brands Festival will run from September 24 to October 10, 2020. It will feature exciting promos like free shipping with ₱0 minimum spend, daily cash backs, and bigger discounts when shoppers use ShopeePay. Consumers will also get huge discounts up to 50% off on leading brands, win exciting prizes via in-app games and many more. 

Users can also look forward to fantastic deals from leading brands such as Infinix, Wyeth, Vivo, Unilever, Oppo, MamyPoko, Nestle, RB Enfagrow, Maybelline, L’Oreal Paris, Inspi, Havaianas, P&G Pampers, Johnson & Johnson, and Abbott.

Additionally, leading brands such as Alaska, Realme, MetroSunnies, Garnier, Colgate Palmolive, Mikana, Shigetsu, Organic Skin, Inspi, Organic Official, Crown, and ACE will offer awesome deals and discounts.

Century Pacific Commits to Coconut Replanting Initiative, Subsidiary aims to be carbon neutral by 2028

Century Pacific Food donates seedlings to coconut farmers in Mindanao, helping enhance their livelihoods through increased productivity.

Century Pacific Food, Inc. (PSE: CNPF), through its coconut manufacturing arm Century Pacific Agricultural Ventures, Inc. (CPAVI), has signed a partnership with Friends of Hope to donate quality seedlings to smallholder coconut farmers -- enabling the planting of productive coconut trees and the replacement of non-fruit-bearing senile ones in South Central Mindanao.

In addition to expanding long-term coconut supply in the region, planting the coconut trees will sequester about 416,680 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over the next eight years. As a result, CNPF’s coconut subsidiary aims to be “carbon-neutral” by 2028.

Under the partnership, CPAVI will provide coconut farmers 100,000 coconut seedlings a year for the next five years, with Friends of Hope overseeing their distribution to farmer families and ensuring that the seedlings are given the proper care. Friends of Hope is a non-profit organization with expertise in coconut-based farming systems, as well as growing coconuts and other intercrops. Since its establishment in 2012, it has reached almost 10,000 farmers, providing them access to better seedlings, facilitating end-to-end trainings on coconut and intercrop production, and helping reduce costs by linking farmers directly to markets.


2000 dwarf seednuts were given to Sitio Macnit, Brgy. Nomoh, Maasim, Sarangani Province. Pictured here is one of the beneficiaries from the IP community, Ms. Dona Fanding.

The joint initiative between CPAVI and Friends of Hope will expand long-term coconut supply in South Central Mindanao and help provide additional income to some 16,000 families in the area. As its need for the coconut raw material rises, CPAVI also plans to onboard partner farmers as suppliers, giving them market access for their products.

Noel Tempongko, Vice President and General Manager of CPAVI, said, “This initiative is a unique opportunity to help our community, our planet, and our business all in one go. Coconut farmers in Mindanao get the benefit of improved quality and productivity of their farming, as well as market access to their products due to our growing company requirements. We are also able to offset our carbon emissions as a result of this project and, at the same time, ensure a more sustainable supply source of coconuts for our company. We look forward to continue showcasing the quality of Philippine coconut products, proudly made in Mindanao, to the rest of the world, whilst helping our environment and community of coconut farmers in the process.”

Christopher Po, CNPF’s Executive Chairman, added, “I am personally very excited about this project which allows us to augment the livelihoods of our farmers, enhance the supply of quality coconuts, and achieve a milestone of carbon neutrality for our coconut business. At the same time, the initiative supports our ambition to manufacture healthier products, and our vision of growth whilst doing business in a more sustainable and responsible way.”

Through the wholly owned subsidiary CPAVI, CNPF entered the coconut business initially as an integrated manufacturer of high-value coconut products for exports, in line with its pivot towards manufacturing healthier products. Its entry into the category began with an ongoing long-term contract with a leading global coconut brand. Recently, the Company also signed a long-term contract exporting coconut products to the Linaco Group, a leading regional coconut producer headquartered in Malaysia.
