Over the years, I’ve learned that makeup doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive to work beautifully. What matters most to me is finding products that suit my preference, lifestyle, and comfort—and that’s exactly why Maybelline continues to be my go-to brand.




As I welcome 2026, I’m sticking with makeup products I genuinely trust and enjoy using. Recently, I availed of the Maybelline B1T1 promo and picked up two shades from the Superstay Vinyl Ink Lipstick line—Unrivaled 30 and Intriguing 63—along with my all-time favorite eye essential, the Hyper Curl Waterproof Mascara.

💄 Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink Lipstick



Shades: Unrivaled 30 & Intriguing 63

The Superstay Vinyl Ink lipsticks are one of those products that immediately live up to their promise. They deliver a bold, glossy finish while staying comfortable on the lips—something I truly appreciate.




Unrivaled 30 is a classic red shade that instantly adds confidence to any look. I love wearing it when I want to feel polished and powerful, even with minimal makeup.



SUPER PIGMENTED!











Intriguing 63 is a softer, more wearable shade that works perfectly for everyday use. It’s flattering, effortless, and easy to pair with both casual and dressed-up looks.








Once applied and set, the lipstick stays in place for hours without feeling heavy or drying. I don’t find myself constantly reapplying, which makes it ideal for busy days.

👁 Maybelline Hyper Curl Waterproof Mascara

My Tried-and-Tested Favorite




The Hyper Curl Waterproof Mascara has been a staple in my makeup routine for years, and it remains unmatched for me. It gives my lashes a long-lasting curl and noticeable lift without clumping.




What I love most is its staying power—it doesn’t smudge or flake, even in humid weather. Whether I’m out for the day or attending an event, I can trust that my lashes will stay defined from morning to night.

✨ Why Maybelline Works for Me

Maybelline products consistently meet my expectations because they are:

  • Comfortable and easy to wear

  • Long-lasting and reliable

  • Affordable, especially during promos









Starting 2026 with these Maybelline essentials feels like staying true to what works best for me. They’re not just makeup products—they’re beauty staples I can depend on, and that’s why they’ll always have a place in my makeup bag.

Last December 14, I had the privilege of attending Fashion Exhibition 2025: Creativity Matters, a meaningful fashion show for a cause in Davao City held at Felcris Centrale. I was invited to the event as my page, Anything About Davao, was chosen as one of the official social media influencer partners—an opportunity I truly appreciate and value.




As someone who loves fashion not only for its beauty but for the stories it tells, this event felt deeply personal. It reminded me that creativity becomes even more powerful when it is used to uplift others—this time, in support of Davao’s hardworking street sweepers.


Organized by Icon Elites Artist Management and led by creative director Pau Garcia, the show went beyond aesthetics. It carried a clear and heartfelt message: fashion can be both stylish and socially responsible.



THE TURN OVER




Fashion With a Purpose: Supporting Davao Street Sweepers


What truly set Fashion Exhibition 2025 apart was its advocacy. The event was dedicated to Davao’s street sweepers—the unsung heroes who keep our city clean every single day. Watching a fashion show rooted in gratitude and respect made the experience even more meaningful, especially knowing that creativity was being used to give back to the community.


Throughout the night, I felt that this was more than a runway event. It was a reminder that fashion has the power to give back, to acknowledge lives that are often overlooked, and to turn creativity into compassion.

Rey Calajate’s Designs: Where Art Meets Wearability


The highlight of the evening was the stunning collection by fashion designer Rey Calajate. His designs immediately caught my attention—bold yet elegant, artistic yet wearable. Each piece showcased thoughtful construction, strong silhouettes, and details that reflected both confidence and creativity.




As the models walked the runway, it was clear that Rey Calajate’s work tells a story. The collection felt empowering, modern, and expressive without feeling distant. These were designs that celebrated individuality while remaining grounded in real-life fashion.














For me, this collection proved that local fashion designers continue to raise the bar with originality and craftsmanship.





The Runway Experience at Felcris Centrale


The choice of Felcris Centrale as the venue perfectly complemented the event. Its modern, open space created an intimate yet elevated atmosphere for the runway show. Surrounded by fellow creatives, fashion enthusiasts, and advocates—including members of the local media—the energy in the room felt warm and inspiring.




Every applause felt intentional—not just for the models or the designs, but for the cause behind the show. It was one of those events where you feel proud just to be present.





Why Fashion Events Like This Matter



Attending Fashion Exhibition 2025: Creativity Matters reinforced why I continue to support and cover local fashion events in Davao through Anything About Davao. When creativity is paired with purpose, it becomes impactful. Fashion stops being just visual—it becomes emotional, social, and meaningful.




By using fashion as a platform to support street sweepers, the event sent a powerful message: every role in our community matters and deserves recognition.






Fashion Exhibition 2025: Creativity Matters was more than a fashion show—it was a celebration of heart, creativity, and community. Kudos to Icon Elites Artist Management, creative director Pau Garcia, and designer Rey MNL Calajate for creating an event that beautifully merged advocacy with fashion.

Being part of this event as a social media influencer partner made the experience even more special and meaningful for me. It reaffirmed my belief that fashion is at its best when it tells a story, sparks emotion, and creates positive change. Truly, creativity matters—especially when it’s used for a cause.

If you’re searching for an affordable Korean skincare brand in the Philippines, you’ve probably come across Hello Glow. Known for its lightweight formulas, non-greasy finish, and effective results, this product has become a favorite for many skincare lovers—including me!



I’ve been using two of their bestsellers for almost a year now, and I keep repurchasing because they truly work. In this review, I’ll share my honest experience with the Hello Glow 3-in-1 Lightweight Sun Care Gel and the Hello Glow 3-in-1 Anti-Aging Retinol Serum.


Hello Glow 3-in-1 Lightweight Sun Care Gel (SPF 50+ PA++++) Review



When it comes to the best Korean sunscreen in the Philippines, I can confidently say that Hello Glow’s 3-in-1 Lightweight Sun Care Gel deserves a spot on the list.


Key Benefits:


  • Very lightweight sunscreen—feels like nothing on the skin


  • Acts as a moisturizer and primer (smooth finish)


  • Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB Protection (UVA = aging, UVB = sunburn)


  • No greasy or sticky feeling—perfect for humid weather in the Philippines




👉 How to use: Apply on face and neck at least 30 minutes before sun exposure. Works great under makeup too!


🧳 Bonus Point: I love the sleek travel-friendly packaging. It’s not messy, no bulkiness, and easy to carry around—perfect for someone who’s always on the go.



Hello Glow 3-in-1 Anti-Aging Retinol Serum Review




At night, I switch to the Hello Glow 3-in-1 Anti-Aging Retinol Serum. Retinol is known as a powerhouse ingredient, and this serum makes it beginner-friendly.


Key Benefits:


  • Rejuvenates skin overnight


  • Hydrates and brightens for a fresh look in the morning


  • Gentle enough to use every other night—no irritation for me


  • Helps with early signs of aging like dullness and fine lines




👉 How to use: Apply a thin layer on cleansed face every other night. Don’t forget to use sunscreen the next day since retinol can make your skin sun-sensitive.



Why I Keep Buying Hello Glow Products


Here’s why Hello Glow has a permanent place in my skincare routine:


  • Lightweight and non-greasy (perfect for humid climates)


  • Travel-friendly packaging that’s not messy or bulky


  • Affordable Korean skincare brand that actually works


  • Gives me protection by day and rejuvenation by night



Is Hello Glow Worth It?


Absolutely yes. If you’re looking for affordable Korean skincare in the Philippines, Hello Glow delivers what it promises. The Sun Care Gel protects and moisturizes, while the Retinol Serum hydrates, brightens, and rejuvenates.




🌸 Lightweight. Effective. Skin-friendly. Travel-friendly. Hello Glow truly helps you glow every day.


Whether you’re a skincare beginner or someone building a full routine, Hello Glow is worth adding to your lineup.
