Morphe's Newest Venture, Morphe 2 is Teaming up with D'Amelio Sisters, Charli and Dixie
Mega beauty brand, Morphe Cosmetics, has officially announced their newest collaboration with Tik Tok stars Charli and Dixie D’Amelio. Morphe 2, the sister brand aimed for teens and adolescents, will be debuting the D’Amelio sisters in their new campaign on July 30th.
Charli, who is best known for her dancing, and Dixie, who recently debuted her first single “Be Happy”, are seriously all over Tik Tok, and now the beauty industry! With the D’Amelio sisters having millions of followers on Tik Tok, Charli with 74.3M and Dixie with 31.4M, it’s a great marketing tactic to get these two Tik Tok sensations on board with the growing cosmetic brand. The line will consist of easy to apply makeup products such as jelly eye shimmers and foundation tints. These products are perfect for the young teen learning how to apply makeup, or honestly for any age appropriate Gen Z going for the natural look.
This is the first step Morphe 2 is making, and rather a big step I might add. The D’Amelio sisters have a following that continuously grows, and with the hope of their fans taking part in the new collab, Morphe 2 featuring Charli and Dixiei may easily be a hit. With their campaign being known as, “Light, Multipurpose Makeup”, it’s safe to say that Morphe 2 is wanting their customers to feel beautiful with their natural face. I don’t think we’ll find any caked faces or smokey eyes in the Morphe sub-brand.
I know almost every celebrity, or influencer, thinks they can become a makeup mogul, but I think this collaboration is a great opportunity to teach young girls (and boys) to feel comfortable in their skin. Makeup is to enhance the beauty that you were born with, and I hope Charli and Dixie continue to be a positive influence for Generation Z. You can find all the information for the campaign here.

4 Brands Whose Pride Collection Proceeds Actually go to LGBTQ+ Advocacy Groups
Although it is nice to see brands transform their logos to incorporate the ten color rainbow of the Pride flag, do these companies actually stand with the LGBTQ+ community?
It’s pride month. One of my favorite national months of the year because it's all about love, acceptance, and pride! Clearly. One of my favorite parts of this month is the way brands include the rainbow colors of the Pride into their clothing and logos in order to show support to members of the LGBTQ+ community. And although this gesture is nice to see, it got me thinking about how these bands are truly giving back to this community. It also made me question if these displays are actually sincere. Why should I spend my coin on a pride tee shirt if the brand has no affiliations with LGBTQ+ charities? So I went on a search to find brands that are actually giving the proceeds of its pride collections to LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.
ASOS pledged to give 100% of the proceeds from the pride collection to The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). This is the fourth year that the clothing brand has worked with them. This non-profit's goal is to accelerate the acceptance and equality of the LGBTQ+ community.
UGG Australia released the Pride edition of everyone’s favorite fluffy sandals. The Pride FluffYeah sandal will be sold year-round. Ugg has also pledged to donate $125,000 to GLAAD.
Nike’s BeTrue Collections is all about “The Power of The Team”. The collection includes the classic Air Force Ones with a 10 color Pride flag heel patch. They pledged to donate $500,000 to 20 organizations whose mission is to advocate for and advance the LGBTQ+ community. The grants will be $25,000 administered by Charities of America.
Aside from clothing, Morphe Cosmetics launched a “Free To Be” collection. All of the net proceeds from this collection will go to the GLSEN, which is an educational organization whose mission is to end discrimination and bullying based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression. The goal to raise awareness and tolerance of LGBTQ culture in K-12 education.

At the rise of Covid-19 many of us first questioned the timeline of fashion week and would we see the regular calendar continue - the question weighed over many of us for months! It was refreshing to see design houses and designers across the globe take advantage of the uncertainty and plow into production mode - thus my interest in Jerri Reid New York - The Black Designer based in Brooklyn New York wow’d instagram with his latest collection paying homage to the Black Is King film which debuted earlier this year in July. I was taken aback at quick of a turn round the young designer produced and released his well crafted designs reflecting some of the films most memorable moments.
