Beauty Tip Today Picks Camila Alves For Best Dressed At Oscars 2011


Camila Alves looked like a beautiful, Brazilian princess last night in Los Angeles' Kodak Theatre at the Oscars 2011 Awards show. She wins Beauty Tip Today's 'Best Dressed' honors.

Most people know her handsome, long-time love, actor, Matthew McConaughey. But Camila Alves has been a successful model, has a great luxury leather handbag line called Muxo, was the host of Bravo TV's Shear Genius Season 3 reality show last year, and the proud mommy to a little boy and baby girl.

Camila doesn't seem to get the media attention of other Hollywood power couples, but last evening, we thought she stole the show.

Let's take a look. While most starlets strolled the red carpet in a sea of red, nude, and silver, Camila Alves chose a stunning very low-cut black ball gown by Kaufman Franco. Her shoes were by Stuart Weitzman, jewelry by Lorraine Schwartz, and bag by Kotur.

Her look was both elegant and timeless. And Camila's posture was perfect, along with her shiny dark hair fashioned in a simple, parted-in-the-middle style with a low chignon. Makeup featured dark lined eyes, strong brows, and soft, nude lips.

Regal from every angle. And of course, helping complete Camila's best-dressed look---- her other sexy accessory, Matthew McConaughey.

Don't Laugh: Grown-Up Gals Can Still Wear Lip Smacker's Dr. Pepper




Lip Smacker's Dr. Pepper.
Our advice----go out and buy a tube now! It won't cost you more than $2 at the drugstore, and you will thank us later.

Okay, we are wa-aaaaaaay too mature to being wearing this stuff on our lips, but----suddenly...we have become obsessed with Bonne Belle's famous Lip Smacker in Dr. Pepper.

Oh yeah, it's been around for years and years. We used to love wearing the Bubble Gum Lip Smacker.

But there is a reason the Dr. Pepper Lip Smacker is the favorite, and a staple in many grown-up gals' makeup bags. It smells and tastes yummy, and it's that sheer reddish tint it leaves behind.

Actress Rachel Bilson is also obsessed with the juicy balm. This is what InStyle magazine said:

'On the red carpet, Bilson plays up her doe-eyed good looks with dramatic eyeliner and black mascara, but her favorite product is the very down-to-earth Dr. Pepper Lip Smackers: "They give a little hint of color—and flavor," says Rachel.'

In fact, she told the mag on another occasion, that the cult fave Lip Smacker is one of the '4 Beauty Essentials' she can't live without. "Tastes great, and gives lips a subtle reddish tint," the actress raved again.

Even Elle magazine is gaga over Dr. Pepper, and featured the Lip Smacker in a December article about Long-Lasting Party Makeup:

"I’m crazy obsessed with this," says celebrity makeup artist Molly Stern. "If your lipstick has worn off by the end of the night, it’s easy to throw on. It gives the perfect gloss, has the slightest bit of color, and tastes good—which is great if you’re planning on making out with someone."

If you've never tried Lip Smackers in Dr. Pepper or haven't put it on in a long time, revisit your childhood and pick up a tube. You'll be hooked. We can't stop tasting our lips. Yum!
