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.

I am loving the entries. As much as I wanted to join, I know there are other women who deserve to win more than I do.
Anyway, I posted about this on my blog, hopefully to bring in more entries. Link’s @ my name. 🙂
I am pro-life. I dont know but its just happened that 3 of my friends have on separate and distinct occasions, confided in me about an unwanted pregnancy, the others untimely ones. All I can do is be there for my friends and be a listening ear and speak for my belief that a termination is not the only option. I always say life is in their hand and in their womb, and that motherhood is a gift and a calling not made for everyone.
I used to work for an NGO before for an advocacy that I also believe in. Although I have worked in the industry before and support the idea of micro banking, I also believe that credit unions work! I have worked as an analyst and have given training and consultancy for CUs before and believe in the principles of CUs in empowering micro-entrepreneurs and women’s groups, including the whole concept of micro-savings and micro-loans.
As a health worker, I am pro-breastfeeding too. Having undergone breastfeeding lectures/trainings, I strongly believe and share the BF dogma, especially in health care facilities.
Total opposites, I know, but there are no boundaries when it comes to the passion that we believe in and stand for 🙂
As an artist, my main goal is to make things more beautiful in life. I strive to execute this in all my work, graphic design or otherwise, and am happily pushing beauty and excellence in all things.
I have supported Kiva.org for a couple of years now, and it’s a site that allows you to loan money to people in need. I like it because it encourages people to help themselves, as they use the money you lend them to grow their businesses (for example, I’ve loaned $25 each to a couple of Sari Sari stores in the province), and when they pay the money back you can loan it to other entrepreneurs or cash it out. I’ve chosen to continue to reloan my money to other entrepreneurs, and I always make sure to lend to people from the Philippines. (Note: You don’t get interest for any of the money you loan, so it’s purely a charitable venture.)
All in all, I encourage people to use Kiva.org to help others help themselves! It’s a great system, and a wonderful way to use your money.
Wow!, there are lots of women bloggers who made impact to the lives of other people! Kudos to you, ladies!
As a government employee, I am exposed to several advocacy programs that help strengthen local governments and improve the lives of its constituency. Since 2004, I am part of the Secretariat of our city’s Gender and Development Council. Since then, I am involved in several programs that promote gender equality in the home, school, community, and workplace. Our programs include Search for Gender-Responsive Barangay and Public Secondary School, Capability-Building Seminars, Gender Sensitivity Training, Gender-Responsive Planning, among others.
I am also an active choir member in our Church. No matter how busy I am, I see to it that I’ll never remiss in my church obligations. Being in the choir makes me strong enough to face life’s challenges.Years before I got married, I was also a Sunday school teacher. During those years, God used me as an instrument and made a significant impact to the spiritual well-being of the younger members of the Church. I promise that I will continue to inculcate God’s teachings to my kids.
