One of the world’s best-selling Lipsticks just got an Ultra Upgrade

Hi reader!

Think you know Avon? Think again. Here’s everything you need to know about the new collection.

Avon,  the number 1 makeup brand in the Philippines, just upgraded their best-selling lipstick to make it not just extra, but oh so Ultra!

Avon Lipsticks are solid beauty favorites, with one piece sold every second globally. The new collection comes in two fantastic finishes: Ultra Matte and Ultra Creamy, and is now available in 26 bold shades that can match every mood, occasion, or style.

Each Ultra lipstick is formulated with nourishing ingredients infused with an exclusive and luxurious blend of Avocado Oil, Sesame Oil, and Vitamin E to keep lips plump and moisturized while retaining an ultra-rich color payoff. With new bullet shape and precision tip, any kween can swipe with no mess and less drama. It comes with SPF 15 and a mocha crème aroma, making every swipe truly a royal experience.

Don’t throw shade, kweens! Wear it loud and proud because the Avon Ultra Lipstick Collection brings #TheUltraEffect—a contagious confidence that spreads from one to another. From pageant types to drag, the Avon Ultra Lipstick Collection is made for every kind of kween.

The new Ultra Collection was launched last November 17 at The Kween’s Ball: Experience #TheUltraEffect with Avon held at the Nokal at Makati Cinema Square.

“Every time I put on the Avon Ultra collection, I feel like I have a crown over my head anywhere I go. The feeling is fantastic, and I honestly can't help but share it with everyone else - that’s #TheUltraEffect!” says Ms. Universe 2015 and Avon Ambassador Pia Wurtzbach, who headlined the event and shared what she liked about the collection.

Pia’s return to Avon is a full-circle moment for the beauty queen, who started as a brochure model when she was 11 years old. “Who would’ve thought that some years later I’ll be back with Avon endorsing their makeup? Eleven-year-old me would be gagged for sure,” exclaims Pia.

General Manager for Avon Philippines and Managing Director for Avon Asia Pacific Razvan Diratian also shared during the event that the brand will always stand for every woman because every queen deserves to feel beautiful. “With Avon, you can be confident enough to be in the spotlight and share it with other queens. We want you to appreciate the queen that you are, celebrate each other, and inspire each other with your confidence.”

Rex Education enhances learning resources in Philippine history and social sciences in partnership with PSSC, PNHS, and PHA

 Hi reader! 

Rex Education hosted a memorandum signing with the Philippine Social Science Council (PSSC), the Philippine National Historical Society (PNHS), and the Philippine Historical Association (PHA) last September 6, 2022 to seal a fellowship program centered on Philippine history.

The main goal of the program is to develop a compendium on Philippine history that could serve as a reference material for writing and publishing future history-centered textbooks. A careful selection of fellows who are knowledgeable about specific periods in Philippine history would be conducted to ensure the accuracy and credibility of the compendium.

In line with REX’s pledge of providing relevant and timeless learning solutions, the program would ideally improve the content of learning materials in history and social studies.

“This fellowship program brings together the academe, civil society, and private sector toward the common goal of serving Filipino learners,” Don Timothy Buhain, Chief Executive Officer of Rex Education, said in his welcome remarks. “REX believes that looking back at where we all came from is important in enabling our learners, teachers, and communities.”

Signatories of the memorandum pose for a picture.
From L-R: Miss Jeanne Marie F. Tordesillas, Chief Marketing Officer of Rex Education; Dr. Excelsa C. Tongson, Chairperson of Philippine Social Sciences Council; Don Timothy I. Buhain, Chief Executive Officer of Rex Education; Professor Emeritus Dr. Ma. Luisa T. Camagay, Representative from the Philippine Historical Association; Dr. Marcelino M. Macapinlac, Jr., Representative from the Philippine National Historical Society

For every Filipino learner

PSSC stands as the project’s implementing agency alongside REX. PHA and PNHS, two local and professional historical associations, will collaborate with REX and PSSC to oversee the compendium’s development.

“This wonderful, novel project will benefit all learners. History is not only for the young; it is for learners of all ages,” PSSC Chairperson Dr. Excelsa Tongson shared.

Dr. Bernardita Churchill, president of PNHS and president emeritus of the PSA and MSA, also highlighted the importance of corroborating history in a country as diverse as the Philippines. “The plan is to enhance the study and teaching of Filipino culture, and create an inclusive history that will present the multiethnic history of the Filipino. A serious study of our history and culture would settle doubts and questions about our identity as a nation.”

A worthwhile endeavor for the future of education

REX’s goal for the program is to provide authoritative reference materials in the writing and publishing of history textbooks.

Dr. Marcelino Macapinlac Jr., a representative from PNHS and a professor for over three decades, believes that the references that will be produced by the fellowship will further capacitate authors and those in the academe as they enlighten learners about Philippine history.

The development of well-researched historical resources invites not only educators but also the youth to reflect on our national history and culture. Dr. Ma. Luisa Camagay, president of the PHA and professor emeritus, Department of History, UP Diliman, and Dr. Macapinlac noted that the current generation of learners has become more discerning of the sources they consume.

“I find that those who finish the K to 12 program are better prepared and more engaged [in the study of history],” said Dr. Macapinlac. He noted that the last national elections highlighted how his students are now more passionate and engaged, but the bigger challenge lies in maintaining that passion in the long run.

“I hope Filipinos will not consider history just as a classroom or University course, but it should be a lifetime interest—whether Philippine, Southeast Asian, or world history,” Dr. Camagay concluded.
