e.l.f. Cosmetics recently hosted a beach club activation at Domino Park in Brooklyn, designed to evoke the essence of the Amalfi Coast. The event featured several interactive elements, including improv actors portraying Italian grandmothers who shared e.l.f. skincare tips and local traditions with attendees.
A key attraction was a photo opportunity with a branded Vespa set against a backdrop of Positano’s coastline. At the 'Bronzing Drops Cabana,' guests were "shade-matched to e.l.f.'s antioxidant-rich tinted serums in Rose Gold, Pure Gold, and Copper Gold—they also engaged with e.l.f.'s Education Team to learn about the new Bronzing Drops and techniques for achieving a sun-kissed glow."
Additionally, "The New Bar served nonalcoholic canned cocktails, including Lyre’s Amalfi Spritz, featuring bittersweet orange and peach flavors" and guests also had the option of choosing between three distinct gelato flavors, bringing the essence of an Italian beach to the city.
