00:00Hey, Cosmo! I'm Blythe, your cover star for this month.
00:04For today's Cosmo Challenge, I'll be doing the Truth or Beauty Challenge.
00:09Let's start.
00:14Let's start with this one.
00:18If you could give your 15-year-old self a beauty pep talk, what would you say?
00:2315, I always remember the older batch, older girls.
00:28So, I was a pressure that I didn't develop that much, and all of them developed their bodies.
00:34I remember there was a time that I kept wearing push-up bras,
00:38because I felt that I needed to level with them in their bodies, in their face.
00:44If I could just say, sis, wait for them, they'll wear them.
00:49And you'll be angry with them.
00:52You'll be waiting for them, you'll be sexy.
00:54I feel like I'm really pressured, pressured, like I'm in a cereal box and everything.
01:00I was bullied by boys before.
01:04I wanted to say to her, you'll have your time.
01:07You're going to be a sexy babe. Don't worry. You'll wait for a long time.
01:10Or I hope you'll be a gym. You'll be a gym.
01:12So I hope, you'll be Kylie Jenner, but it will be Kylie Jenner.
01:16But it's okay. I love my body right now.
01:18I love it so much.
01:19Okay, next.
01:20White.
01:22What's one lesson your younger self would be proud you finally learned?
01:26You finally learned my own self.
01:28I was so proud that he knew that I was only one in Kondo.
01:33I started auditioning when I was four and then I stopped and then continued until now when I was seven.
01:39I was the whole life.
01:40So, I always have people with me.
01:43Every day, a lot of people, staff and crew, that I couldn't be one.
01:51So, I'm so proud when I know that you only go to the mall to be one.
01:57And you enjoy it.
01:59You enjoy the solitude as in.
02:01That's what you crave.
02:02You are your own self.
02:04What's your biggest beauty regret?
02:06I don't regret, but I'm so scared.
02:10I'm so scared.
02:11Why?
02:12No.
02:13I think there were lip fillers before.
02:16Because now, I've dissolved everything.
02:18My lip fillers, my super-haba nails, and my eyelash extensions.
02:24There were a specific curl that I did before.
02:28It's like barbed wire.
02:30It's like that.
02:31So, it's so heavy.
02:33And then, I saw my pictures.
02:36I said to my team,
02:38they were fake friends.
02:39They said to me,
02:40I'm like,
02:41I'm like that.
02:42But you know,
02:43that's my decision when I was 19.
02:47I enjoyed it.
02:50It's not.
02:52It's better.
02:53It's better now.
02:54I love it so much.
02:55If you want to do fillers,
02:58just know it's not permanent.
02:59It's not permanent.
03:00It's not permanent.
03:01And that's the trend before.
03:03I don't regret it,
03:04but...
03:05Because,
03:06it's really...
03:08Because,
03:09there are pictures,
03:10you know,
03:11people,
03:12they don't want to compare.
03:13They say,
03:14this is really good.
03:16And then,
03:17the pictures,
03:18I'm like,
03:19oh,
03:20oh,
03:21oh,
03:22oh,
03:23oh,
03:24oh,
03:25oh,
03:26oh,
03:27white.
03:28What's a red flag you ignored before,
03:31but won't anymore?
03:33Ang masasabi ko,
03:34na-ignore ko before,
03:36na hindi ko na-ignore na yun,
03:37is first red flag pa lang,
03:39go away!
03:40Malis ka na.
03:41First red flag pa lang,
03:42huw,
03:43exit ka na.
03:44Let me explain.
03:45Very understanding kasi akong tao.
03:47Um,
03:48very reasonable ako.
03:49And I like to analyze kung bakit nagawa ng taong to yung ginawa niya.
03:54Baka kasi hindi siya naturoan ng parents niya.
03:56Baka kasi ganito, ganyan.
03:58Grabe kasi yung super empath ako.
04:01Because I'm very misunderstood by a lot of people.
04:05Ang daming rumors about me.
04:07So, hindi ako judgmental at all.
04:08So, like, lagi ko inintindi.
04:09Kasi parang,
04:10isipin ko,
04:11grabe yung mga pilagsasabi si Blight.
04:13So, like,
04:14try mong intindihan yun.
04:15Grabe pinagdaanan ko.
04:16Kaya ko din nagawa yung ibang mga bagay.
04:18So, like,
04:19grabe yung heart ko to understand.
04:21Pero hindi din kasi lahat ako.
04:23Sometimes,
04:24people are just mean.
04:26And, um,
04:27kailangan ko yung matutunan
04:28na hindi lahat na gagawa nila.
04:31Dahil may trauma sila.
04:32Some people are just really intentional and mean.
04:36So, ayun.
04:37First red flag pa lang,
04:38alis ka na.
04:39Kasi,
04:40hindi lahat ng tao nagbabago.
04:42Tsaka,
04:43basta,
04:44malis ka na.
04:46Ang daming ko na-explain.
04:47Diba?
04:48Tulad noon.
04:49Huwag ka na makinig sa explanations.
04:51Go!
04:52What's a makeup look or style
04:54you'll always associate with your coming of age years?
04:58Feeling ko,
04:59isa sa coming of age years ko,
05:00talaga yung drunk blush ko.
05:01Nung Kadena,
05:02nang ginto.
05:03Yung Margaret Bartolome.
05:04Grabe yung blush blindness ko.
05:06Nung hindi ko,
05:07alam,
05:08bakit sinayaan nila ako mapunta sa national TV.
05:13But you know what?
05:14It became a look.
05:16Naging icon naman si Marga.
05:18Pero, yun.
05:19Coming of age ko talaga,
05:20putok na putok na blush.
05:21Kasi,
05:22may rule ako sa mom ko before,
05:24nabawal ako mag red lipstick kapag 18 na.
05:27So,
05:28parang siguro,
05:29kinumpensay ko sa blush ko.
05:30Yung blush ko yung naging red lipstick ko.
05:32Ang bawal nung mag red lipstick until 18.
05:35Wala lang.
05:36Parang,
05:37kasi kapag nag red lipstick ka na.
05:39But of course,
05:40for work ginagawa ko,
05:41iba yun ha.
05:42Mamaya,
05:43pag compare nyo,
05:44sabihin nyo,
05:45liar ako nung 15 ako.
05:46May picture ako,
05:47naka red lips ako.
05:48Work yun.
05:49Iba yung personal.
05:50Ano lang,
05:51parang,
05:52kasi lagi na akong made up.
05:53Gusto ni mama na,
05:54maanok pa rin yung kabataan ko.
05:55Kapag nag red lips ka,
05:56kasi parang mature.
05:57Iba kasi yung dating ng red lips.
05:59Lalo na,
06:00sinasabihan na masyado daw ako,
06:01nagmamadaling tumanda.
06:03Pero sa totoo lang,
06:04hindi.
06:05Mukha lang akong mature na yung face ko,
06:07kapag may makeup.
06:08So,
06:09tinatry ko,
06:10consciously talaga,
06:11i-lessen yung makeup ko.
06:13Kaya nga,
06:14puro ko blush on.
06:15Para masabi na,
06:16wala akong makeup,
06:17blush on lang.
06:18Ang kapal palo yun.
06:19Okay.
06:20Ito,
06:21nakalabas siya eh.
06:22So, feeling ko gusto niya mapili siya.
06:26Ikaw pa!
06:27Ikaw pa talaga,
06:28nagpaparinig siya dito eh.
06:29Oh!
06:30What's the craziest rumor

09:15Next.
09:16White na, no white.
09:17What's one boundary
09:18you'll never break again for love?
09:20Eh, sila yung uunahin ko.
09:22Lagi kasi sila yung una ko.
09:23Grabe kasi ako magmahal.
09:25Lahat binibigay ko na nauubos na ako.
09:28Ginagawa akong mundo yung taong mahal ko.
09:31Yun yung boundary ko sa self ko.
09:33Lagi ka mauna.
09:34Lalo na kung di mo pa naman asawa sis!
09:37Kung magmahal ka,
09:38kala mo masawa mo na.
09:39Kahit ka promising,
09:40never pa ako nakatanggapan.
09:42Huwag kang magpa-utang.
09:44Yung mga boundary.
09:46Huwag kang magpa-utang ng million.
09:49Ito, joke ko.
09:51Oo ba?
09:52Huwag ka na na ng million?
09:53Unfortunately.
09:55One boundary lang.
09:56Blight,
09:57ang dami mo sinabi.
10:00So yun nga,
10:01unahin mo sarili mo!
10:03Pero guys,
10:04in fairness to me,
10:06hindi ko na nagawa yung sila yung maging mundo ko.
10:10Streak na ako sa time ko.
10:11Seven to eight hours of sleep.
10:13Unahin mo yung mga pagpapaganda mo.
10:16No two biglaan plans
10:18kung meron ka ng schedule na date with yourself.
10:20Unahin mo yun.
10:21Next.
10:22What's your biggest beauty flex?
10:24The one thing you mastered.
10:26With demonstration.
10:28Ha!
10:29I'm ready.
10:30So ito,
10:31natutunan ko siya
10:32kay Margaret Bartolome
10:34sa kade ng ginto.
10:35Sobra akong intimidated
10:37sa eyeliners before.
10:38Kasi naka-intimidate talaga yung mga cut-eye.
10:41Pero dahil everyday,
10:43halos everyday ako naka-cut-eye
10:45kay Marga,
10:47natutunan ko na siyang mamaster.
10:49Meron na though, konti.
10:51So,
10:52ito na yung wing eyeliner ko.
10:54Ayan,
10:55I'm done.
10:59Ito sa master ko din ko,
11:01paano siya gagawin waterproof?
11:03Paano ko siya gagawin waterproof?
11:05Dito sa kabilang mata.
11:06Ayan.
11:07So, para maging waterproof,
11:09turuan ko natin kayo ng tips and tricks.
11:11Hindi naman super waterproof,
11:13pero like,
11:14at least matibay.
11:15Kahit anong iyak mo,
11:16o sino man yung iniiyakan mo,
11:18huwag mo iyakan.
11:19Para tumiba yung eyeliner mo,
11:21gamit ka ng gel.
11:23Gel muna,
11:25or like powder,
11:26or anything.
11:27Gamitin mo lang yung kuko mo.
11:28Diba rin?
11:29Ganyan.
11:30Tapos,
11:31saka ka magli-liquid.
11:33Kumbaga nila lock-in mo yung eyeliner mo.
11:36Sina-sandwich mo siya.
11:37Sandwich method ang tawag.
11:39Alam ko.
11:40Ayan.
11:41Tapos, it's easier.
11:42Kasi yung gel,
11:43pwede mo siya makorekt with
11:44cotton buds lang and everything.
11:47Ngayon,
11:48tapos papatunga mo nung liquid.
11:51Ayan.
11:53Ayan siya.
11:54Na-master ko siya.
11:56Kasi nga,
11:57halos lagi.
11:58Tapos kapag namamadali sila set,
12:00shuk shuk.
12:05Last question.
12:06Truth pa.
12:07Maka malalato ah.
12:08Ah, hindi.
12:09What keeps you motivated when things don't go your way?
12:14If things don't go my way,
12:16it's alright kasi masusunod pa rin yung way ni God.
12:21So,
12:22siyempre may gusto tayo, di ba?
12:24If hindi yun yung matuloy,
12:25okay lang.
12:26Kasi iniisip ko,
12:27siguro kasi mas beto yung plans ni God for me.
12:29So, okay lang ako.
12:31Mainis lang ako.
12:32Pero hindi mawawala yung motivation ko to keep on going.
12:35Kasi,
12:36life doesn't stop.
12:38Ikaw talaga yung
12:40magpo-post sa sarili mo.
12:41So, okay.
12:42Kung hindi matuloyin ko sa kong plano,
12:43hindi,
12:44hoo-hoo.
12:45Tapos laban ulit.
12:46What motivates me?
12:47Mga goals ko in life.
12:50Very ambisyosa ko.
12:52And sinaseroso ko talaga yung saying na YOLO.
12:55As in, YOLO talaga.
12:57We only live once.
12:58So, talagang ipaglalaban ko yung dreams ko.
13:00Kahit gano ako idaw ng mga tao.
13:03Hindi.
13:04Laban lang ng laban.
13:05Dreams ko,
13:06family ko,
13:07future family ko din,
13:09friends ko,
13:10love,
13:11life, everything.
13:12Life itself motivates me to live.
13:15And that's it for today.
