Cathy Doll Deo Launch Party

Last Thursday, Cathy Doll launched their new Mineral Deodorant line. As a brand that's dear to me, I took a half day leave from work and braved the rain and traffic to attend the event. I usually avoid crowds and physical events since we're still in a pandemic, but I'll always make time for Cathy Doll. πŸ’•

These are 2x natural whitening deos in spray and stick form. I've tried Cathy Doll whitening products before, and in my experience, they take their whitening claims seriously! Choose between moisturizing or smoothening variants, whichever suits your underarm care needs more. Best part - they're priced at below PHP 200 each! These will be available in November 2022.

I got the chance to play fun games at the event:

This is their "Arms Up To Dice" game, wherein I had to roll either 1, 3, or 5 to win a prize. Thankfully, I rolled a 3! I won this cute teddy holding the new Cathy Doll Whitening & Moisturizing Mineral Deodorant Stick. I gave the cute stuffed toy to my youngest sister. 😍

 
Ah, the claw machine! I took my sweet time to position the claw accurately to an egg that there were 5 seconds left. OMG! When I successfully caught it, the staff told me to check if there was a paper inside... and I won this super adorable Cathy Doll x Hello Kitty Cotton Shine Blusher in 01 Frozen Strawberry! This is a shimmery pink blush and I can't wait to use to at work tomorrow.

Thank you, Cathy Doll team, for always preparing fun games at your events! πŸ˜—

I check the ingredient lists of the Mineral Deodorant Sticks, and they were as short as natural products can get. The Whitening & Moisturizing variant was made of ammonium alum, water, aloe vera leaf juice, perfume, and two colorants (to give the stick a green appearance). The Whitening & Smoothening variant had pomegranate, mangosteen, and cherry blossom extracts instead of aloe. These are non-sticky, non-staining, and free from harmful chemicals.

Introducing GANCube

You will know that a product is great when it is created by none other than the master. Everyone, meet Ganyuan Jiang (江淦源), also known as GAN. He is the founder of his namesake brand GAN, which is a speedcubing brand.
 
What is speedcubing anyway, you might ask? Well, it is sports for the mind which involves solving combination puzzles – most common being the Rubik’s Cube! A speedcuber is one who solves the cube as fast as possible. Did you know that GAN’s founder was the 2006 – 2007 Chinese Champion of 3x3? Coupled with his degree in civil engineering, he delved into the world of designing speedcubes in 2010. Now, the brand gan cube is well known for their innovative engineering and revolutionary designs.
 
GAN356 X
 
 
gan cube 356 x is the spinoff of the brand’s 2018 magnetic flagship product. This new release makes use of a Reinvented Magnet System with patented magnet grooves and magnet capsules (Patent number: CN2017214429505). The magnet capsules can be replaced according to your desired magnet force (Strong, Medium, Weak, or None). Overall, this technology results to the best handfeels, smoother turns, and cube pieces landing in the right position every time.
 
GAN356 Air Ultimate

GAN 356 Air Ultimate is a top speed cube which boasts of its light weight – only 66 grams! Each cube takes more than 2 hours to make by their highly skilled technician – all handmade to boot! Each cube is finished with ORACAL German full bright stickers for that eye catching look. shop here πŸ›’

Speedcubing is a terrific hobby that can improve reflexes, keep your brain active, and therefore slow down cognitive deterioration that comes with age. With this generation of children being glued to their phone and tablet screens, GAN’s goal is to have more people, especially the younger kids, to love cubing.
 
Love,
Helen
