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 have always believed that education is, and will always be the best gift one can ever receive. With that, I decided to be a teacher volunteer in our community. Every Saturdays and Sundays, we go to this public school to teach elementary students on how to read, write and do arithmetic. It is very much tiring because I still have school to attend to but the feeling is very rewarding when you actually see the kids learn from you and say “Thank You” after. And as they say, the best rewards are given to the unrewarded. 🙂
I used to teach every Saturdays in a university in Manila. It was a part time job and sort of source of extra income. My main goal was to earn more money but greater things happen when I learned more from the experience. I learned to be patient and learned to deal with different kinds of people. Teaching those students inspired me to be a good example. They look up to you as if you are their idol or hero of some sort. I remember chatting with one of my students, he was taking BS biochemistry, I was teaching them basic computer programming as it was part of their curriculum. He was really interested with computers and stuff. A simple piece of advice I gave him.. “Do what you think will make you happy”. He did not shift courses, instead he had a double degree. Now he is working as a programmer and is happy with it. As simple as that I learn from them, they learn from me.
As a full time mom and wife, you have a lot of responsibilities..keeping your house as a great place for your family, serve them the best food to make them healthy,love them unconditionally and always be there for them. Teach my kids on how to be a better person, a good citizen and a God fearing child. Tough.. but its my advocacy that i want to achieve “)
I do believe that everyone is entitled to benefit from reproductive health. Hence, I joined the Reachout Foundation International as a helpline counselor to be able to help in my own little way. Just by listening to the problems of callers and giving information on reproductive health issues concerning them, I was able to ease their worries and fear. Since most the callers were teenagers, I’m glad that the information drive on sexuality did them good and were able to choose the best options for themselves after each call.
I’m an orphan and being one, I have a soft spot on kids/babies who have been abandoned by their own parents, orphaned or are street children. It was in my bachelorette days when I would organize Christmas events focusing on giving food and gifts to street children. I would invite my friends to join me in my endeavor or give donations in cash or in kind so that a lot can benefit more. I would also join our company’s gift giving endeavors and act as a volunteer. Nothing can match the joy of seeing a smile plastered on the kids’ faces every time you spend time with them or once they receive their gifts no matter how simple the gifts were.
