Celebrate Dove’s 60th Birthday

60th_video-hero_2048x980-736641.jpg.ulenscale.767x360

Dove is turning 60!!!!

This month, Dove will celebrate the 60th anniversary of its iconic Dove Beauty Bar. Dove is a bit older than I am but I remember using Dove as a child and continue to do so today. When my mom worked for a dermatologist, Dove was the recommended choice for moisturizing your skin. My family still uses Dove, especially in the dry winter months. Many things have changed over the past 60 years but Dove has stayed the same and we would not want it any other way.  Thank you Dove!

To commemorate this milestone, the brand is kicking off a new campaign that celebrates women redefining beauty over the past 60 years and the beauty essential that’s been there through it all unchanged – the Dove Beauty Bar.  It’s the Dove brand’s honor to have been by women’s side since 1957, caring for them every step of the way, and we are encouraging women to share how they will continue to #RaisetheBeautyBarimgresThis  short digital video shows a retrospective of the iconic beauty moments over the past 60 years championing the strides women have made in beauty. And, Dove will even release a limited-edition bar with the word “care” engraved on it.

The palette comes with 12 universally flattering eyeshadow shades and has a range of finishes from matte to shimmer & sparkle. I have a fair complexion (blonde, blue eyes, SPF 30+ even in the winter) and I found that these shadows were not only flattering on me (surprisingly, even the olive color), but they would also work beautifully on my friends with darker features. The shadows have a clean and smooth texture, not too chalky, and blend well too. You could easily just use one shadow at a time for a neutral daytime vibe, or mix a few colors together for a more intense look, like a smokey eye or pop of color for a night out.

Day/Neutral Look

Along with the 12 shadows, this all-in-one palette has a foldover cover mirror, black eyeliner pencil and double ended eyeshadow brush, each with their own built-in slots. The brush is perfect for applying and blending, and the eyeliner glides on evenly and with the roll-up tip feature, you’ll never be stuck with a dull point. The floral print cover is so chic that you won’t mind leaving it out on your dresser or keeping it with you in your clutch! Whether it’s at home or on the go, a fancy night on the town or simple date night in, this palette is truly a one-stop-shop for all your eye make up needs.

“Let me Love You”

Hello everyone!
Sorry it has been a minute since I have been on here, the holidays and traveling may have gotten the best of me. However, I am back and have most definitely kicked things into gear for 2017. My newest cover, “Let me Love You” by Justin Bieber, produced by Elliot Lanam, is officially done and will soon be released! Working with Elliot was so effortless, and I can’t wait to start creating some more original music with him. Along with the song release will be a video, directed by one of my best friends, Charlotte Manning, who is an extremely talented film-maker. I can’t wait for you guys to hear this new take on such a popular and loved song, and see what Charlotte and I visually created. The aimed release date is sometime in February so keep your eyes out and your ears open!

Thank you, much love!
XO,
Lizzy
