CONTEST CLOSED!
Avon’s nationwide launch of Ultra Color Rich Mega Impact Lipstick is also a celebration of women, who aside from being beautiful, all possess a creativity, passion and dedication to social causes which make a significant impact on the lives of others.
On top of the list is Reese Witherspoon, Hollywood A-lister and Mom. She is also Avon’s Global Ambassador and honorary chairwoman of the Avon Foundation since 2007.
“As a woman and a mother I care deeply about the well being of other women and children throughout the world and through the years, I have always looked for opportunities to make a difference”, Reese shared.
Avon also recognizes the efforts of these Tippi Ocampo, Stephanie Zubiri and Stephanie Kienle are making an impact in their own ways.
Tippi Ocampo creates clothes not just because its her job but its her way to share her appreciation of Philippine culture with the younger generation. More importantly, designing allows her to help ICanServe, a group that seeks to assist breast cancer sufferers and survivors.
Stephanie Zubiri is not just a chef and a model she advocate sternly about global warming as proven by her internship at United Nation’s environment program. She also support proper nutrition among Filipinos and hopes to someday launch a project aimed at educating poor Filipino families on how proper nutrition can be achieved without having to spend more on food.
Stephanie Kienle is a member of Virlanie Foundation, a foundation that provides food, shelter and clothing to street children. The group also gives the children a chance to get an education and reunite with their families.
Avon takes pride in celebrating these four women with beautiful faces made more defined and more unforgettable by their beautiful hearts.
Just like the Avon Ultra Color Rich Mega Impact Lipstick, reds are more dramatic, pinks have more oomph, browns are richer and plums pop right out! The lipstick that “gives lips high-definition color for mega impact impressions,” said Mari Ann Soliven, Avon Southeast Asia Cluster Category Manager for Color.

@everyone, I’m loving all your answers ladies! keep them coming!
I’m a simple Work at Home Mom and a hands on Mom by choice. I focus my advocacies on the things that will affect my country and my family.
I am an advocate of NO-spanking discipline. I give tips on how to do it on my blog. I believe that children can grow up well sans shouting and spanking.
I am an advocate of raising Filipino kids’ awareness on our culture and be as Makabayan as they can be while growing up.
Oh gosh, where do I start?
I have been an advocate of reproductive health and HIV Awareness since 1995, when I started volunteering in an NGO as a peer counselor and facilitator. Just recently, I have also embraced Restorative Justice awareness for Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL). I was part of a training of youth leaders so they can better help their wards and community (my portion was Parent-Child Communication) and I am glad to share that they echo what I’ve taught them to the parents of the youth they’re helping keep from crime.
I am also a staunch breastfeeding advocate… trained by LATCH and always on forums and message boards to give breastfeeding help, info and support. I know I have succesfully helped several women (SIL, friends) to successfully breastfeed.
I also advocate the Deaf and sign language, after learning Filipino Sign Language. I also advocate baby sign language to help parents communicate earlier with their kids.
And most of all, I advocate intentional parenting. And I reach out to people mostly through my blogs and through articles I write for various sites (sometimes, even for magazines) since I am currently pregnant and hormonal.
I am really an advocate of “no cheating in class” since I was a student. I know it’s hard for most students but I really persuade my org mates and classmates to not cheat during exams. Filipino students are dependent to those who studies well. I think this is the reason why most of our graduates can’t even answer a simple question about their chosen field. We need to step up our level of education and it has to start among our youth.
@Razielle thanks for retweeting! And wow you must be so proud with the kid your sponsoring 🙂 what an achievement I must say. More blessings to you !
@Sharon I hope there are more people like you who are concerned with making the lives of street kids better. God bless.
@Jennie it must be really tough to be a pastor’s wife and a counselor. Thank God you talked her away from abortion. God will continue to bless you and your family for this.
@Kutitap yeah some people are so judgmental they don’t know the story behind it. I hope more people will be less judgmental too.
