The ambience was gay. It exuded glamour and panache laced with glitz.The atmosphere spelt funfair.
Venue was Reserve Resturant, Karimu Ikotun, Victoria Island, Lagos and the gathering was at the instance of commodity conglomerate, Bozac Continental Ltd which was unveiling Jackie Lureino Bent, popular as Jackie B, as the latest brand Ambassador of Fair and White range of beauty product.
Before Jackie, delectable Esther Agunbiade and Toke Makinwa have represented the brand as Ambassadors.
Esther was the Brand Ambassador for the Gold range while Makinwa represented the So White & So Carrot Ranges.
The Bozac group holds the sole franchise for Fair and White brand in Nigeria.
A unisex international beauty brand, the Fair and White variants, are made in France for people of colour by Labo Derma France.
The new brand Ambassador who is Senator Grace Bent's daughter, was a housemate in the 2021 Big Brother Naija reality show.
It was indeed an "A" rated event because it again afforded the Bozac group the opportunity to celebrate natural African beauty.
On hand to ensure a successful outing were Bozac's senior managers led by the son of the president of the group who is also a Director in the company, Kene Chibueze.
Mr Chibueze held fort for his father and he gave a good account of himself in that regard.
In his brief remark, he stressed that Bozac group has always promoted and will continue to promote African beauty.
Its believe in African beauty, he disclosed, accounted for the reason Bozac opted for Jackie B, a ravishing African beauty, as the new face of a variant of the brand, Fair and White Gold which was launched in 2014.
According to Chibueze, "other products have tried to look like Fair and White Gold but of course, if it is not Fair and White, it cannot be like Fair and White. Our brand is distinctive, it is on a class of its own"
The Managing Director and Chief Executive officer of Fullpage Communications Ltd Ingram Osigwe who also doubles as Media Adviser to Bozac dazzled all with his superlative performance as compere for the event.
He on his part equally assured the public that scintilating advert strategies that will take the brand to its desired target audiences are in the offing.
Jackie B came with Mr Amadi Victor Obisike, owner of the Agency that handles her PR and her Personal Assistant, Chukwulobe Favour.

Being of Northern Nigerian extraction, the new brand ambassador pledged to take Fair and White to the nooks and crannies of the region and help open the frontier of northern market for it.
