The lip cream is made with coconut oil and vitamin E, keeping the lips moisturized and soft for long periods of time. This formula leaves the lips feeling comfortable all day, so you won’t have to worry about any smudges, fading tints, or fine lines around the mouth. 

Celebrity Ciara Sotto is absolutely in love with this lippie! “There is a new lip cream in town!” she said. “I am so happy to have the new Y.O.U Beauty Rouge Velvet Matte Lip Cream! It’s so smooth, lightweight, and has an excellent hydrating formula!”

2. The Radiance White Nourishing+ Serum

 

While other brands will encourage you to buy multiple types of serums to nourish your skin, the Radiance White Nourishing+ Serum achieves the same (and even better) results in just one bottle!

 

It is formulated with snow mushroom extract to boost hydration, vitamin C for its antioxidizing effects, and Niacinamide to lighten the skin tone, reduce dark spots, and refine skin texture for a moist and luminous complexion — all in one serum.

One of Y.O.U’s happy customers from the brand’s Shopee store commented, “Naglilighten mga pimple scars ko. I like it so much. Ang smooth sa face. (My pimple scars lightened. I like it so much. It feels really smooth on the face.)”

Every shade is velvety-smooth, extremely easy to blend and layer, and perfect for all-day-long wear. Staying put with minimal fallout, the highly pigmented mix of finishes is perfect for any skin tone, keeping your eyes looking stunning for hours on end.

 

Celebrity Kaila Estrada tried out this eyeshadow palette, blending shades of brown, green, and gold to give her an elegant earthy glam look. “It looks amazing,” she said. “So far, I really like [it].”

 

The all-in-one Wander Nature palette contains 15 unique shades for every possible eye look – from matte, shimmer, to glitter – delivering a natural outdoor beauty that brings more style to your masked look.

 

Y.O.U Beauty’s selection of beauty and skincare products are dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic, and suitable for sensitive skin. With Y.O.U Beauty’s upcoming Super Brand Day, you can get these classy products at the price of one and enjoy a handful of freebies!

The HUAWEI MatePad T8 Kids Edition comes with a beautiful Kids Case

 

HUAWEI MatePad T8 Kids Edition first sale begins today, September 24, in the Philippines. This cool gadget is designed with children’s education and healthy development in mind. Available in an 8-inch variant for only PHP 8,999, this latest addition is specifically designed for children aged 3-8. They offer everything a child loves, including an adorable Kids Case, stylus pen, and the Kids Corner default app that is pre-loaded with child-friendly content. 

 

Child-friendly design

The HUAWEI MatePad T8 Kids Edition comes with a beautiful Kids Case made from environmentally safe silicone, offering all-round protection for both the device and your child. Consisting of a blue shell and cute green grips, it is comfortable and enjoyable to hold for small hands. The tablets also feature curved backs, giving them a delicate and rounded grip. 

 

Ultra-slim bezels result in an immersive visual experience, with a bright blue stylus pen to match your child’s inquisitive mind. The stylus pen offers a more interactive experience for kids by enabling them to draw finer pictures on the tablet, as well as to enjoy themselves to the fullest when playing touchscreen games. Both the Kids Case and the stylus pen meet the European Standards on the Safety of Toys and pass the Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS), so parents can confidently allow their children to enjoy the accessories.

 

Parental Assistant and Safety Features

The HUAWEI MatePad T8 Kids Edition boasts numerous safety features, giving parents the ultimate peace of mind. Parents can manage time spent, apps used, and other viewable content on Kids Corner, allowing them to set multiple designated time limit intervals throughout the day. For example, parents can set it so that their child can use the tablet for a maximum of 20 minutes after school between 5pm to 6pm, or after dinner between 7pm and 9pm. They can also apply different settings for the weekday versus the weekend, so that the tablet brings the perfect balance between study and play. In Kid’s Profile, parents can also gain access to their children’s usage records, allowing them to log their children’s usage time and see the apps used over any given period.

 

Multi-layered eye protection

The HUAWEI MatePad T8 Kids Edition leverages the power of technology to protect children's eyesight. A built-in color adjustment module intelligently adjusts the content on the display, offering a discrete eye protection mode. With help from an ambient light sensor, the tablet also enables multi-layered eye protection for your child’s eyes.

 

Huawei tablets are equipped with a built-in gravity sensor that can determine whether the user is lying flat, with prompts to encourage them to adjust their posture accordingly. There is even an algorithm that detects when the tablet is shaking (such as when the user is using the tablet while walking or in a car), which can remind your child to use it in a stable state, therefore developing better eye habits. Furthermore, when eBook mode is enabled, the tablet automatically adjusts the contrast, brightness, sharpness, saturation, colour temperature, grayscale and other parameters on the display to offer a quality reading experience that closely resembles that of reading a physical book. The Bumpy Road Alerts, Posture Alerts, eBook mode and more can all be toggled on and off in Kids Corner.

 

Kids Corner packed with Rich Educational Content

The HUAWEI MatePad T8 Kids Edition comes pre-installed with a wealth of rich educational content, making it the perfect tablet companion for children as they grow. Kids Corner was specifically created to reassure parents that their kids will be safe while using the tablet. Kids Corner is like a treasure chest that allows children to record funny and interesting moments, draw their imagination on a canvas and record the stories and jokes they tell. Kids Corner supports Kids Painting, Recorder, Camera, and other features, offering a reliable and secure platform for kids to learn and play. 

 

For Kids Corner, Huawei has partnered with Azoomee and BabyBus, two of the leading educational developers creating apps for children. The HUAWEI MatePad T8 Kids Edition, therefore, comes with a free three-month membership to Baby Panda World, and a free one-year membership to Azoomee.

Huawei Philippines looks forward to continuing its partnership with Ayala Foundation and doing more sustainability programs

Ayala Foundation Inc. (AFI) and Huawei Technologies Philippines Inc. held a virtual signing ceremony today to mark another milestone in their purposeful partnership aimed to provide digital education to Filipinos and building sustainable and resilient communities, with the long-term goal of contributing to Philippine nation-building. 

 

At the event, AFI Senior Director for Social Development Joanna Maria Duarte, Huawei Philippines Vice President Daniel Guo and Huawei Philippines Director for Globe Telecom Zeh Zhang inked a Memorandum of Understanding to formalize the partnership between AFI and Huawei. The collaboration coincides with the celebration of AFI's 60th anniversary with the theme: "Faith in the Filipino – 60 Years of Partnerships in Nation-building."

Under the MoU, Huawei is donating $200,000 to support AFI's programs focusing on disaster recovery and emergency response, education and training, and sustainable livelihood for women and indigenous peoples. Huawei also extends its support to Globe’s environmental programs with a donation of $100,000 for the telco’s rainforest bio-diversity program in Mindanao, bringing the total to $300,000 for the Ayala Group of Companies’ sustainable development initiatives.

 

In her message during the signing ceremony, Duarte recalled AFI's partnership journey with Huawei over the years. "Huawei Philippines has been a long-time supporter of Ayala Foundation's programs, particularly in the education sector. Throughout the years, Huawei has provided students in our partner communities all over the Philippines with facilities and equipment to improve their learning experience," she said.

 

As the coronavirus pandemic continues, such assistance to educational institutions is immensely needed to help students and teachers cope with the challenges of online learning. "In the past year, we have seen the extraordinary effects brought about by COVID-19. The Philippine education sector has been hit hard as teachers and students adapt to no face-to-face learning," Duarte said.

 

She added that small-scale producers were also affected by the pandemic due to movement restrictions. "It is now, more than ever, that sustainable development must be at the forefront of our organizations," Duarte emphasized, noting that Huawei's donation will enable AFI to create and scale up its efforts through technology.

 

Sharing the same advocacies as AFI, Huawei Philippines believes in the lasting positive impact of social responsibility programs geared towards enabling the Filipino youth to achieve their dreams and improving the lives of people in local communities. 

 

Guo said Huawei Philippines looks forward to continuing its partnership with Ayala Foundation and doing more sustainability programs for the benefit of Filipinos. "In the future, we want to be more active in contributing to Ayala Foundation's CSR programs and in giving back to the Philippines," Guo affirmed. 

 

Guided by its global digital inclusion initiative, TECH4ALL, Huawei Philippines has been working with its local partners to create real change by connecting the unconnected communities, providing equitable access to technologies to underserved groups, and protecting the environment.

 

AFI continues to nurture partnerships with a wide network of government, nongovernmental, corporate, and community-based organizations, as well as private individuals. It is on a mission to build communities that are creative, productive, self-reliant and proud to be Filipino.
