To accompany the launch of its nourishing Bronzing Drops, e.l.f SKIN introduced a new campaign called Peculiar Behavior starring actress and activist Jameela Jamil. Created to convey the real-life passion the e.l.f community has for this nourishing tinted serum available in three shades, the campaign takes the form of a short mockumentary observing fans in their natural habitats.
"Bronzing Drops are the No. 1 product our community has requested from us with increasing intensity. In the spirit of surprising, delighting and entertaining our audiences–with that unexpected e.l.f. twist–we let our imaginations go wild," said Kory Marchisotto, Chief Marketing Officer, e.l.f. Beauty, "Our community is clever, hilarious and unabashedly expressive. They essentially write the script for us."
