Adele Grammy's 2012 Makeup Look

**(Inspiration Picture)from HERE**

I of course had to recreate someone’s look from the Grammy’s of 2012 and I chose to do Adele’s! Surprise, surprise just about everyone decided to do Adele’s look but I knew right off the bat from seeing hers at the show I wanted to do it. No question about it, she had one of the gorgeous if not THE most gorgeous looks at the Grammy’s. Adele always has a very 50/60’s look, I love it because winged out liner and red lips are my absolute favorite! I noticed that her eye makeup usually is meant to enlarge her eyes not that she has small eyes but just by the way her eye makeup is done I can tell. This look was no exception, she had a light pink shade on her lid, grey in the crease, thick winged out liner (of course), liner pressed into the lower lash line, thick lashes, contoured cheeks and a red lip. Throughout the show she had two looks, one on the red carpet which was what I recreated but with a little less grey in the crease and the one during the actual show which was a nude lip and a deeper grey crease. I just thought the red lips were more fun which is why I went for them rather than the nude lip.

~Neutrogena Healthy Skin Foundation in Buff

~E.l.f Blush/Bronzer Duo in Blushed and Bronzed (only used Bronzed)

Birchbox: January 2012

    Ahh I'm so late on this post but for the record I do recieve my Birchboxes by the end of the month if that makes my belated post on January's Birchbox any better. Well guys, sorry to break it to you but this is my last Birchbox post, I'm not sure if anyone really enjoyed them but I guess it's nice to see what products come with it if any of you were interested in possibly subscribing to Birchbox. I decided to stop because in all honesty, none of the products I received were really that great to me or even worth 10 bucks after thinking about it. I am more into makeup and nail products rather than skin care products because I have my staple skincare products that I use and the ones I receive in my Birchbox are extra randoms that get thrown in my drawer. Don't get me wrong, I do use them but none of them really interested me enough to purchase them. Birchbox does give you makeup products every now and then but not as much as I'd like. I may start up another beauty subscription service and that is My Glam Bag but so far it has been all sold out so up until it's available I am done with sample beauty product subscriptions.
    So as far as January's Birchbox goes, it is okay. I received a body butter, a moisture intensifier, a magnet, a green eye liner, a sample perfume, and a fruit/nut bar. The body butter smells like roses which I'm not too much of a fan of but it seems like it will be nice and moisturizing so I will be giving it a go when I start wearing shorts more (I only use body butters when my legs are showing) because I don't use body butter on a regular basis. The moisture intensifier will be interesting to use on my drier days, the magnet is just well..a magnet and the green Stila liner is nice and creamy and I am not much of a green kind of girl but I will attempt to wear green liner because of this. I also got a Viva La Juicy perfume which I have yet to smell and a fruit/nut bar which tastes good yet weird. Does that make sense?

The products I received in January's Birchbox:

Jennifer Lawrence Peoples Choice Awards 2012 Makeup Tutorial

**(Original Picture)Picture from http://www.bellasugar.com/2012-Peoples-Choice-Awards-Prettiest-Hair-Makeup-21283141?slide=1**

So I was browsing through different makeup looks celebs had at the 2012 Peoples Choice Awards and when I came across Jennifer Lawrence’s look I knew hers was the one I wanted to recreate. The other celebrities had gorgeous makeup of course but for some reason I liked hers the best. It could be because a lot of women had natural makeup and I thought hers was better because it actually had color in it but who knows. Purple is one of my favorite colors so that could have been a factor too… But anyways, the look she had was a purple smoky eye yet it looked like she only used one purple eye shadow, a shimmery light inner corner, browned crease, smoky lower lash line, warm face and peachy shimmer lips. From a little farther away, it looks like a charcoal eye shadow but if you look closely you can tell it's purple. I thought it was gorgeous and would be great for a night out or a party.
