Park Eun-Bin is the new face of AROMAGICARE


WIDE International Strategic Experts Co. (WIDE International) aims to empower its marketing and brand awareness campaigns further this year. And one power move is jumping on the latest trends in pop culture by unveling its newest and first-ever Korean endorser, actress Park Eun-Bin for AROMAGICARE.

Founder and CEO, Ms. April Martin believes that having the K-Drama star can effectively attract potential customers and product enjoyers of different ages. “Since we’re committed to create a healthy and wealthy community, we think that tapping the ever talented and cheerful actress is a good move to present our brand to people from all walks of life,” she said.

Meanwhile, since her popularity here in the Philippines continues to rise, making Eun-Bin the first-ever Korean brand ambassador for AROMAGICARE is “The Extraordinary” partnership that they shouldn’t really miss this year. 

Founder and President, Ms. Pauline Publico shares, “We would really love to have the adorable Park Eun-Bin on board. Making her the face of AROMAGICARE can positively give the brand its well-deserved boost in popularity because we really want to take things to the next level this 2022! We are lucky to have someone well-admired as her right now.”

Park Eun-Bin just had a stellar year after her amazing performance as the main lead star for the blockbuster hit Netflix drama series Extraordinary Attorney Woo, which of course, became one of the most-watched Korean series on the said streaming service this 2022. She starred as the titular Woo Young-woo, a young and genius lawyer with Autism Spectrum and easily captivated millions of hearts because of her acting talent and charm. 

Although she’s been an actress for quite some time already and is part of successful shows like Hello, My Twenties!Do You Like Brahms?, and The King’s Affection, being the “smart and extraordinary” Attorney Woo was indeed her breakout role that made her immensely popular on an international scale. She is set to receive the “Rising Star Award for TV” at the Asian Pacific Cinema and Television awards ceremony to take place on November 4 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles. 

Customers can also bet that her ideals are aligned with the principles of WIDE and AROMAGICARE, which is a 100% Filipino-owned prominent and reliable brand. Prepare as the actress happily endorses AROMAGICARE Therapy Oil in ClassicStrawberryBarley Moringa Wheatgrass (BMW), and Coffee variants.

Aromagicare Therapy Oil, also known as ATO, conquers the health and wellness industry with its powerful and effective ingredients which include Turmeric, Moringa, Guava, Lemon, Stevia, Guyabano, Virgin Coconut Oil, Menthol Herb Arvensis, which provides the soothing aroma that makes the product stand out from its competitors. 

The product is also proud of its easy-to-use application, called the Drop-Rub-Technique. This can be done by dropping a small amount of AROMAGICARE Therapy Oil in the palm of your hands. Then, rub the small drop of the product using your hands and after that, cover your nose and mouth with both hands and inhale the soothing aroma that AROMAGICARE Therapy Oil brings. 

This handy and affordable therapy oil can be used against different external health problems such as tense muscles, joint pains, back pains, rheumatism, arthritis, muscle pain, cramps, minor sprain, stiff neck, nerve pain, headache, sinusitis, clogged nose, common colds, cough, sore throat, and even insect bites. 

AROMAGICARE Therapy Oil is also effective against skin problems like itchiness, wounds, skin burns, and varicose veins. The soothing capabilities of this product also work to ease vertigo, fatigue, stress, dysmenorrhea, bad breath, gum problems, and toothache. It is a certified Premium Brand with Premium Quality, and is FDA Approved so you’re sure that it’s safe and effective. 

The actress really can’t wait to be part of the WIDE family and be “The Extraordinary” this early!

realme Buds T100 review

We all love those double-double sales events right? Who wouldn’t want free shipping, store vouchers, flash sales, and of course the big price drops.

 

Well, if you are on the lookout for a pair of wireless earbuds for yourself or maybe as a gift for the upcoming holidays look no further than the realme Buds T100.


The realme Buds T100 is the latest audio device from the PH’s no. 1 smartphone brand for 6 consecutive quarters as it continues to expand its AIoT portfolio within the TechLife ecosystem.

 

realme’s new budget TWS promises richer sound quality, a 10mm Dynamic Bass Driver, 88ms Super Low Latency, and a total playback time of up to 28 hours.

 

Since I’ve been stuck at home the past week, I have been using the Buds T100 to watch Netflix and listen to Spotify and I’ve enjoyed using it even for long periods of time because it’s very comfortable.

 

The realme Buds T100 is available in two colors Pop White and the one I’m using is called Punk Black. IT comes in a typical white box that contains, the earbuds, welcome documents, two extra pairs of eartips (small and large) and a charging cable.

Making it stand out from other earbuds is its Two-Tone Hit Color Design. Open the pebble-shaped case and you’ll notice that it has a yellow interior which I find really attractive. The buds itself has a slight metallic tint on the edge of the stem to give it a bit of color accent.

 

On the case is the realme logo, an LED light and the USB-C charging port. It has no pairing button as it supports Google Fast Pair compatibility. All you have to do is open the case and the realme Buds T100 will automatically pair and you’ll see a notification on your smartphone.

 

The buds are very lightweight, and as I mentioned very comfortable to wear even for several hours. If you don’t like the fit in your ear, you can simply replace it with the included eartips to make it fit more securely. Moreover, the realme Buds T100 can be your new buddy for workouts, running, or commuting as it is equipped with an IPX5 Water Resistance that makes it sweatproof. This also protects the device from splashes coming from any direction.


The stems also function as a touch control panel and all you have to do is double tap to play or pause, triple tap to skip to the next track and long press to adjust the volume. Long press on the left bud to adjust turn the volume down or long press right bud to increase volume.  You’ll hear a faint sound to confirm that you’ve activated a shortcut.

 

Its also a good idea to download the realme link app as it allows you to see the battery levels of each earbud. You are also presented with several sound choices. Bass Boost, Balanced or Bright. There’s also an option to further increase the volume of the device or turn on Game mode.  

 

The realme Buds T100 sounds really good for its price point, you get rich quality sound and more importantly the deep bass made possible by a larger 10mm Dynamic Bass Driver. If you love listening to dance music, hiphop R&b and pop music with heavy bass you’ll definitely love the sound quality.

 

You can also enjoy a smoother experience when consuming your favorite content as it is equipped with an 88ms Super Low Latency. This feature can keep a perfect audio-to-video sync with less lag time. To paint a picture, 88ms means that the delay between audio from connected devices to the TWS is less than 0.1 seconds.


When you need to make or answer calls,  the realme Buds T100 has an Environmental Noise Cancellation that cancels out unwanted noise by separating background voices and noises in real-time via AI algorithms. This makes your voice sound clearer during conversations even when outdoors.

 

Aside from delivering a rich audio quality, the realme Buds T100 also has a long battery life that can last up to 28 Hours Total Playback. The 480mAh battery capacity; 40mAh for each earbud, and 400mAh for the case.

For those who are always on-the-go, the realme Buds T100 got you covered with fast charge. A quick 10 minute charge lets you use it for up to 2 hours of total audio playback.

 

You get all these neat features of the realme Buds T100 for just P1299, which makes it a great option for gamers, music lovers, and everyone else who loves to consume content on their smartphones.

 

But wait! As I mentioned earlier you can purchase the Buds T100 at a discounted price of P879 during the 10.10 Sale Campaign on Lazada happening on October 10-14 and Shopee starting October 10-12.

A.S. Watson is proud to announce the regional launch of “Skinfie Lab”


A.S. Watson, the world’s largest international health and beauty retailer, is proud to announce the regional launch of “Skinfie Lab”, an innovative skin analysis tool that creates highly personalised skincare product recommendations based on customers’ selfies. Skinfie Lab is first launched at Watsons Hong Kong and will be rolled out to Thailand, Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia by early 2023.

The launch of Skinfie Lab in Asia is the latest development by A.S. Watson to deliver a truly O+O (Offline plus Online) customer experience. It builds on the successful launch of an AI-powered skincare advisor at Superdrug in the UK last year. Customers love using the tool, and conversion rates doubled.

According to Freda Ng, Chief Digital Officer (Asia) of A.S. Watson Group, “We believe that Skinfie Lab will change the way customers shop skincare - with only a selfie.” 

“We’ve been using cutting-edge technology to innovate and develop new solutions that help deliver seamless O+O shopping experiences to our customers. We’re thrilled to launch Skinfie Lab in Asia, a pioneering tool that makes it simple for customers to find just what their skin needs.”

AI Empowers Personalised Recommendation from Over 10,000 Products 

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse customers’ skin and create a highly tailored skincare regimen for them, Skinfie Lab has been jointly developed by A.S. Watson and ModiFace, L’Oréal’s AI and AR company. It was created with dermatologists and based on 15 years of research. The AI-powered Skinfie Lab has been built and validated using over 16,000 selfie images and able to detect a range of facial attributes from a customer’s selfie, including acne, fine lines, pigmentation, enlarged pores, wrinkles, radiance, skin firmness and overall skin condition. 

Customers can simply take a selfie and answer a few simple questions on their mobile phone about themselves. Skinfie Lab then generates a personalised, in-depth skin analysis, as well as a bespoke list of product recommendations from all products available in Watsons eStore. The skincare routine it covers spans cleansers, face masks, toner, serum, eye cream, moisturiser and sunscreen.

Ng continued, “Many customers want to better understand their skin and choose the best products to include in their skincare routine, but often they don’t know how. Now, all it takes is a selfie. Skinfie Lab can help beauty beginners who are looking for advice in developing their own skincare regimen, as well as beauty enthusiasts who are looking for highly personalised recommendations that draw on the latest trends and products.”

AR-Powered ColourMe Reaches 40 Million Try-ons

The virtual make-up trying-on tool ColourMe, also developed by A.S. Watson and Modiface, has proved hugely popular and successful. Since its launch in 2019, there have been 40 million try-ons in Watsons Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam and Philippines. 

ColourMe uses augmented reality to instantly and virtually show customers how they would appear with different looks, as well as making product recommendations. Conversion rates have increased up to 5 times among ColourMe users.

Ng added, “Both Skinfie Lab and ColourMe are helping customers to find the skincare and makeup products that best suit their needs. Leveraging AI and AR solutions, we can create new O+O customer experiences that are engaging, personalised to beauty lovers, and make shopping with us a real pleasure.”

Personal Collection participates in international coastal cleanup day


 

Personal Collection Direct Selling, Inc. strengthens its commitment to protecting and preserving the environment by taking part in the International Coastal Cleanup Day spearheaded by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

 

Now on its 36th year, the International Coastal Cleanup Day is a worldwide movement that engages people to remove trash from coastlines and waterways around the globe. The data gathered from the cleanup drive is submitted to the US-based NGO Ocean Conservancy, serving as a basis for creating policies that concern marine conservation. Dealers and employees from Personal Collection joined other volunteers from private companies, NGOs, and the public as they collected tons of wastes that pollute Metro Manila coastlines.

Direct selling company Personal Collection recently took part in the International Coastal Cleanup Day to further strengthen the company’s commitment to help preserve and protect the environment.


Over 15,000 volunteers took part in the environmental campaign which was held simultaneously in eight sites in Metro Manila, including the SM Mall of Asia seaside area, Las Piñas-Parañaque Wetland Park, Dolomite Beach, BASECO Beach, Tanza Marine Park, Tangos North and South, and behind the CCP Complex in Pasay. With the theme “Fighting for a Trash-Free Manila Bay,” the cleanup drive is in line with the government’s Manila Bay Rehabilitation Program. Roughly 100,000 sacks of trash were collected during the event. DENR reported that plastic sachets and plastic bottles were among the top items collected – an environmental concern that Personal Collection has since been addressing through the #GreenLifeGreatLife movement.

 

Launched in 2021, the #GreenLifeGreatLife movement saw the company’s shift from recyclable to biodegradable packaging, starting with its top-selling household products. The biodegradable packaging was designed to decompose within five to ten years in landfill conditions, thereby reducing the company’s carbon footprint. This move puts Personal Collection at the forefront of promoting environmental responsibility, with a lifelong commitment to making the world a better place for the environment and for the future generations.

 

Personal Collection’s staunch support for the International Coastal Cleanup Day is just one of the company’s continuing efforts in environmental conservation under the #GreenLifeGreatLife movement. Since 2021, the company has planted over 115,000 mangroves and trees in different parts of the country to help protect the country’s coastlines from erosion and revive marine life. These include over 15,400 trees and mangroves in Bulacan, Tanay, Rizal, and La Mesa Eco Park, Quezon City in the past few months since April 2021. In the same period, tons of trash were collected during coastal and estero clean-ups in Metro Manila, Antipolo, Batangas, Cavite, and Negros Oriental.
