L’Orèal launches Dark & Lovely 6 Oils Body Lotion

Based on 10 years of research on African skin, Dark & Lovely announced their new Crème 6 Oil body lotion, the first multi-active formula which combines 6 natural oils to help cure the 6 most common imperfections affecting African skin.

Coconut Oil: Anti – dryness

Jojoba Oil: Anti – ashy look

Apricot Oil : Anti – tightness

Sweet Almond : Anti – dullness

Avocado: Anti – uneven skin

Shea Butter : Anti – roughness

The lovely actress and TV presenter Ama K  is the Ambassador for Dark & Lovely Crème 6 Oils was the host of the evening, alongside with Brands Manager of L’Orèal West Africa Richard Kumassah and Dermatologist Mrs. Donkor.

Richard Kumasah explained the innovation of the cream and how determined they were to provide a solution to the common skin imperfections affecting their consumers with African skin. Emphasizing the crème is good for use on both male and female skin.

At the end everyone received a goodie bag with all of the 3 Crème 6 Oil sizes (90ml, 200ml, 400ml) to test the product for ourselves.

I have been using the cream almost a week now and I truly feel a difference!

My skin feels baby soft!

What I really appreciate about the cream is the scent, it smells just like  the well known perfume „Dior Poison“.

„Dark & Lovely Crème 6 Oils, get back the skin you were born with“

She has since gone on to win the award; The Emerging Designer of the Year Award for the year 2009 at the inaugural Arise Africa Fashion Week in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Christie Brown was is the only Ghanaian designer chosen to showcase in the Arise L’Afrique- a- Porter, in Paris as part of Paris Fashion Week in March this year.

{Heel the world (HTW)}

What if your favourite world- class dress shoes could be made right here in Ghana? The quest to find answers to this question lead to the birth of HTW Shoes. HTW Shoes is a Ghanaian company that offers specially crafted hand made shoes with world class specifications. They also have handmade items like the HTW Black and Gold Empowerment beads, the Lovechild wristbands, belts and wallets. Heel The World(HTW) is a social enterprise and footwear brand that works to empower Ghanaian startup companies.

It was started by Fred Deegbe, Vijay Manu and Jeffrey Manu. In 2009, Fred went over to his friend, Alex’s, place to play video games. His friend ridiculed Fred’s old dress shoes so badly that he went out to buy a new pair in town. While Fred was marveling his new wing-tip shoes in the boutique, a passing shoe shine boy caught his eye.When Fred caught up with the shoe shine boy and asked if the shoe could be done locally, the boy vehemently replied, ‘Impossible’. For months on end Fred was disappointed in the boy’s response and was further saddened that there was a widespread belief that a world-class shoe/brand could come out of Ghana.

In February 2011 while working in a bank and with no shoemaking experience, Fred partnered with a young ICT undergraduate Vijay Manu and started a shoe company called Heel The World (HTW) with the support of some close business associates. In 2012, Jeffrey Manu joined HTW, Fred resigned from the bank, Vijay graduated from university and the young trio have been heeling the world ever since.
