Lola Falana Endorses New Cosmetics
by Karen Parker
Post Staff Writer
Janie Deese, Sarah
Chambers and Carolyn
Parker have known for
months the benefits of
Amber Hues Cosmetics,
that's why they use the pro
duct and sell it as well.
Now joining the ranks of
users of a product manufac
tured by the fastest growing
cosmetic company in the na
tion, is well-known night
club entertainer, Lola
Falana. She was the
keynote speaker at the third
annual Amber Hues Beauty
Consultant Luncheon in
Dallas, Texas.
Mrs. Carolyn Parker, a
sales consultant in Charlotte
for Amber Hues retold
Falana's story about her in
troduction to the cosmetics.
"She (Falanal had an ap
pearance in Dallas, and our
chairman of directors, Ron
White saw her in the lobby
of a hotel. Ron took the op
portunity to approach Lola
Falana and present her w ith
one of our makeup kits."
Then laughing, Mrs.
Parker recalled that White's
handing Falana the beauty
kit caused some commotion.
"Her security guards were
anxious to find out what he
was up to and finally Falana
convinced them that she
didn't think there was need
to worry about White; it
was simply a friendly
gesture."
Continuing the story,
Mrs. Parker pointed out
that Falana tried the
makeup the very night she
received it and continued to
use the products. When she
used the last of it she called
Amber Hues in Dallas not
only to find out how she
could order some more of
the cosmetics, but also to
find out if there was any
way she could help to pro
mote a product she really
had faith in.
Since then Lola Falana
has been a board member of
the Amber Hues Cosmetic
Company which has head
quarters in Dallas.
Present to hear the enter
tainer's confession were
nearly 500 people
throughout the United
States. Mines. Parker,
Deese and Chambers were

among nine people who
represented the Charlotte
team.
At the luncheon Mrs.
Deese received a plaque
recognizing her as a team
manager. “A team must
have at least 10 people
before a team manager can
be designated," Mrs. Deese
pointed out. Actually the
Charlotte team is up to
about 16 sales consultants
and is growing steadily.
Convincingly, Mrs.
Deese -mentioned she is
"striving to become area
manager. That requires two
managers and 20 con
sultants," she explained.
Presently the Charlotte
team is a part of the South
Carolina unit which ranks
about number one in sales
for Amber Hues among all
units in the nation.
When speaking about her
introduction into Amber
hues, Mrs. Chambers
stated, "1 have no inten
tions of going back to a nine
to five job. I’ve travelled
with several make-up com
panies, but I've never
believed in a product like I
believe in Amber Hues,"
she assured. Mrs.
Chambers has been a sales
consultant since May; Mrs.
Parker has been selling
Amber Hues for one month;
while Mrs. Deese has been
with the company since Oc
tober, 1982.
Mrs. Parker stated she is
particularly pleased to be
working with Amber Hues
because ^t is a "Black
owned company (Rita
White is the owner); the
company gives the con
sultants the opportunity to
own a share of it through
stock; and the company
management believes in
reinvesting profits back into
Black communities."
Every Thursday night at
7:30, the three women meet
other people who are in
terested in becoming Amber
Hues sales consultants at
the Holiday Inn's Rebel
Room-D. The recruitment
meetings are held at the
hotel located at N. Tryon
and Craighead Streets. To
become a consultant one
must complete an applica
tion and purchase either a
basic cosmetic kit at $80.00
or a deluxe kit. at $162.90.
The basic kit consists of
skin care regimens, the
eight different Amber Hues
foundations and training
materials. The deluxe kit
consists of the entire line of
Amber Hues products.
Mrs. Deese emphasized
•mot only are written training
materials provided, but
Amber Hues consultants
also train new salespeople
with the product.
By attending the recruit
ment meetings and placing
names in a drawing, one
person can receive financial
assistance toward purchas
ing a kit. Mrs. Chambers
explained how the drawing
is operated: "Each official
sales consultant attending
the meeting donates $3 to
the drawing. If a person
—who has completed an ap
plication has his or her
name drawn, all the money
in the pot is applied to the
balance of purchasing one
of the Amber Hues sales
consultant kits."
Each of the sales con
sultants have managed to
sell over $1,000 worth of
products in a month. The
prizes are wonderful they
stated, and Mrs. Deese add
ed Amber Hues has the best
incentive program she has
ever known. Amber Hues
products have been clinical
ly tested and are recom
mended by some der1
matologists. For more infor
mation about the product
