Today one of my favorite Latina celebs is celebrating her birthday: Happy birthday, Camila Alves! The designer, model, and mom of three turns 30 today and I couldn't help but think back at some of the Brazilian mom's best beauty moments. Let's just say when it comes to beauty, she's definitely one of my icons.
It all started after a friend of mine pointed out that the Brazilian mom and I have some similar physical features, like our signature long black curly hair (that's many times also worn straight), tan skin, dark, thick brows, and long eyelashes. I guess you can say that in a way Alves has taught me how to own my look and do it in a way that's sexy but still classy. Her effortless style is what has transformed her into the full-blown A-list star she is today. Check out some of her best beauty moments below!
