Adam Levine is launching a fragrance named “222 by Adam Levine”, set to hit stores in May 2013.
The Maroon 5 singer will be releasing his new scent alongside ID Perfumes.
Ilia Lekach, who works for the company, said:
”Adam is a performer with tremendous charisma – both on stage and on TV. Endeavoring to capture that in a bottle has thus far been very exciting and we’re certain the final products will be even more so.”
Fun fact: Adam’s co-star on The Voice, Christina Aguilera, also has her own perfume!
Seems like it’s the easiest way for celebs to brand themselves these days.

America’s Next Top Model is back on February 29th, and this season’s theme is British Invasion. It’s the battle of the Brits versus the Americans. (Which I’m sure you probably guessed by the title!)
Check out the pictures below and see if you notice anything interesting. (Hint: look at the models’ lips!)
These lovely ladies are wearing Violent Lips, temporary lip tattoos. The Americans are puckering up with stars and stripes, while the Brits are making kissy faces with the Union Jack.


Both of these tats are $9.99 on ViolentLips.com, but you can find a slew of other styles on the site, including glitter, animal print, and polka dots.

Celebrity Manicurist: Tom Bachik
Inspirational Quote: “For her first Oscars, Milla wanted to be subtle and elegant, but on trend. We loved the idea of keeping consistency throughout her look and decided to match the nails to the gown with a shimmery pearl for a modern twist on a classic look. The L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Nail Polish in “Satin Sheets” complemented her gown perfectly – giving a retro-modern look perfect for the red carpet.”
Product Used:
- L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Nail Polish in “Satin Sheets”– #230 in the “Hopeless Romantic” collection ($5.99); Viewers at home may have seen, but this expressive presenter even gave her nails a flash up at the podium while presenting.

HAIR:
Celebrity Hair Stylist: Lorenzo Martin
Inspirational Quote: “The look I created for Jennifer was inspired by the 60′s. I wanted a gorgeous hairstyle that defined the graceful refined sophistication of that time to complement Jennifer’s beautiful dress.”
Step by Step How-To:
- First, Lorenzo sprayed L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Volume Root Lifting Spray at the roots of Jennifer’s clean, damp hair to add extra volume before blow-drying it with a round medium-sized boar bristle brush.
- After Jennifer’s hair was completely dry, Lorenzo distributed a dime-sized amount of L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Strong Hold Defining Gel evenly throughout her hair.
- Next, he pulled her hair into a high ponytail, securing it with a metal-free elastic rubber band.
- From there, Lorenzo split the ponytail into four different sections and teased each one. Once all four pieces were teased, he sprayed her hair with L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Unscented Hairspray.
- Next, Lorenzo took one of the four sections and looped the piece into the ponytail, securing it into place with bobby pins. He followed this step with the three other sections of hair – pinning each one in different directions (front, back and side to side) to create a complete bun.
- To ensure there were no loose hairs or flyways and to maintain a sleek look, he added a bit of L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Smooth & Shine Serum.
- Lastly, to finish off this effortless yet elegant style, he used L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Unscented Hairspray lightly around all the hair.
Products Used:
- L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Volume Root Lifting Spray ($6.99)
- L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Strong Hold Defining Gel ($6.99)
- L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Smooth & Shine Serum ($6.99)
- L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Unscented Hairspray ($14.99)
MAKEUP
Celebrity Makeup Artist: Mary Phillips
Step by Step How-To:
- FACE – First, Mary highlighted Jennifer’s natural glow by mixing L’Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Makeup in Sun Beige ($10.95) with LaMer The Reparative Body Lotion ($180) to create a dewy but even and smooth canvas
- CHEEKS – Mary dabbed L’Oreal Paris Magic Smooth Soufflé Blush in Cherubic on her cheeks for a subtle flush of color ($12.95)
- EYESHADOW – Mary used two shadows to achieve Jennifer’s sultry eye: L’Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Eye Shadow in Eternal Black and Iced Latte ($7.95 each)
- EYELINER – Mary created a winged cat eye with L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner in Brown ($8.95)
- MASCARA – Mary completed the high drama effect of the eye with two coats of L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara in Carbon Black ($8.95)
- LIPS – Jennifer’s lip color was the final glamorous touch; L’Oreal Paris Infallible 8HR Le Gloss in Coral sands ($9.99)
