BBA Winner Coming to Zim

Big Brother Africa -The Chase winner Dillish Matthews is coming to Zimbabwe for the first time to launch her lipstick range.

The Namibian model is expected to land this Sunday and her launch which is scheduled on Valentine's Day and will be under Vault Cosmetics.

The sassy model also announced this initiative through social networks stating that: "Dillish by Vault Cosmetics launches in Zimbabwe on 14th February 2014. Cool matte lipsticks and lip-glosses available soon. Namibia launch is in that same week too! Love yourself this Valentines."

In a telephone interview from the United States, Vault Cosmetics founder, Jackie Muchanyuka-Mgido, who is originally from Zimbabwe, confirmed the latest developments.

"Dillish will be in Zimbabwe this Sunday. The model will be here for a week promoting the cosmetic range and we are happy to work with her," she said.

Mgido said preparations are at advanced stage for the launch.

"I am also coming to Zimbabwe on the same day as Dillish. My team has been putting some of the logistics together and now we wait for the day and can't wait to meet Dillish because she is not only beautiful but humble," she said.

Mgido said she chose to work with Dillish because she showed a level of independence, confidence, faith and friendliness.

"We had a meeting with the model sometime last year soon after she won BBA and was impressed by her humility. She loved make-up especially lipstick and we saw this as a good opportunity to strike a deal and create this brand," she said.

She said that the launch will empower women not only in beauty industry but the fact that one is a woman.

"We want to show our community of women that it is very fine to be bold and stand out. Africa is colourful, bold and beautiful and we stand by that," said Mgido.

The lipstick ranges are colourful.

"We have Mega matte lipstick for Dillish and currently in the States they are selling like hot cakes. Our colours are bright purples, reds, pinks, burgundy and some of the colours most women used to be scared to try," she said.

The Hollywood make-up artistry has worked with international artist such as Ne-Yo, Snoop Lion, Cuba Gooding Jnr and locally Pokello Nare, Tsitsi Mutendi and top models among others.
