NAG-ENJOY si Kris Aquino nang ma-meet niya at ma-interview para sa kanyang YouTube Channel na “The Aquinos,” social media accounts, at website na www.krisaquino.ph ang sikat na Filipino-American YouTube beauty expert at beauty vlogger na si Patrick Starrr o Patrick Simondac sa totoong buhay. Si Patrick ang kauna-unahang Pinoy na nakakuha ng major beauty collaboration sa international cosmetics brand na MAC Cosmetics, na ineendorso rin niya. Nagpunta sa Pilipinas si Patrick para sa event ng MAC.
Ipinost pa ni Kris sa kanyang Instagram account (@krisaquino) ang picture nila ni Patrick kasama ang caption na naglalaman ng paghanga niya sa YouTube star: “@patrickstarrr Thank You for trusting me w/ a preview of your Spring Collection! I’ve been watching his @youtube videos BUT being in his presence & having an intimate conversation w/ him INSPIRED me to continue championing #positivity #hardwork #dedicationtoyourcraft #kindness & #loveforfamily! Thank you @mamastarrr for instilling in Patrick the desire to still embrace his Filipino values & culture! Thank you @maccosmeticsph for a fruitful & enlightening Sunday! Very proud to be a Filipino”
Malaking inspirasyon si Patrick kay Kris lalo na ngayong pinalalakas ng host-actress ang kanyang presensya sa bagong platforms na pinasok niya – ang online world at social media.
Nagpaliwanag naman si Kris sa isa pa niyang IG post sa mga nagtatanong kung paano nangyari ang interview niya para sa MAC gayung endorser siya ng local cosmetics brand na Ever Bilena. Ani Kris: “My special conversation w/@patrickstarrr will be uploading next week. Just to be totally transparent- my exclusivity for @everbilenaofficial is only for other local cosmetics brands, an imported drug store/mass market brand & direct selling cosmetics. I’m grateful to them for respecting my desire for true authenticity. And i thank @maccosmeticsph for being 1 of the very 1st brands to support me & KCAP when we ventured into the fresh world of online/digital infotainment. Not to mention the kilig i’m feeling now as a makeup addict to be the only 1 apart from Patrick himself to have the samples of his Spring collection.”
