Health and beauty retailer Watsons recently launched their “More Value, More Life” campaign and introduced their new brand ambassadors: beauty queens Shamcey Supsup and Ann Umali, plus model Fatima Rabago, who are all joining Venus Raj, who’s already done a campaign for the brand together with her mom.
Last Tuesday, April 2, we got to sit and talk with 2011 Miss Universe third runner-up Shamcey, who is reportedly getting married to her boyfriend Lloyd.
The beauty queen is happy that she’s now part of the Watsons family because she is a fan of what she calls a “one-stop shop.” She admits that she buys beauty products, medicine, and grooming items there. Some of her favorite items are basic ones like facial tissue, blotting paper, and even Band-aid strips. She also gets hair treatments, hand soaps, and food at Watsons. According to Shamcey, she thought that the Watsons drugstore didn’t have a lot of medicine but she was pleasantly surprised to find out that they pretty much have everything there.

Not-so-techy
We also got to talk with Shamcey about her smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Note, which she got last year. She uses it mostly for communication, especially with her family, like when she goes to the province for work.
But the number one reason why she loves her phone is because it helps her organize her commitments. She heavily relies on her phone’s calendar to the point that she feels like going crazy when her phone batt’s dead because she can’t check her schedule.
Shamcey also likes how her phone has the ability to take great photos and even shared with us some video clips and snapshots she took when she was in Dubai. We took a peek at her photos; her phone has taken around 160 photos so far, but she said she has more in other folders.
Despite being a big fan of her smartphone, she admits that she doesn’t have a very exciting online life.
She’s on Twitter and uses it mainly for “stalking” her friends. “Medyo chismosa ako,” she reveals.

She also has a very private Facebook account (using a different name, of course) which is just for her close friends (around 500). However, she has access to a fan page created by one of her fans: a high school senior (“Hindi siya bakla!”) who has gotten over 450,000 likes, which is more than her followers on Twitter. Amazed, Shamcey and her boyfriend Lloyd contacted him and thanked him for maintaining the fan page. The guy asked them to be admins, to which Shamcey said yes. But it’s really just Lloyd who is active there, making sure all negative comments are spammed.
So what’s next for Shamcey? After hosting the behind-the-scenes web show for last year’s Miss U pageant, she revealed that she now wants to do more hosting stints. She admits that she was nervous at first but now that she’s gotten the hang of it, she wants to do some more, especially because it’s a learning experience for her. “You get to meet a lot of people and ang dami mo pang natututunan,” she said.
