Model of the Week: Izabel Goulart

BellaSugar — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 15:55:22 -0700

This week I am featuring one more stunning Victoria's Secret Angel. I've asked her the same five questions as I have in the past to reveal her best beauty secrets!

Here's a little bit of history about Izabel. She was born October 23, 1984 in São Carlos (a part of São Paulo), Brazil. She comes from a large family of five brothers and one sister. She was discovered when a hairdresser saw her shopping for groceries with her mother and encouraged her to model. She then moved to São Paulo to pursue modeling more seriously.

However, during her first ever runway appearance modeling swim suits, her bikini top fell off and the audience caught a peep show! Izabel exhibited composure and maturity and this incident actually helped jump start her career.

You may recognize her from her pictures in French and Japanese Vogue, Numero, Marie Claire, and Elle. She has also starred in ad campaigns for La Senza, Poko Pano, Valfrance, Express, Cori, Forum, Pollini and Pura Mania.

She just shot a campaign for Iodice and next week, she will have her first real acting cameo on the HBO show Entourage. Also, Izabel was named #18 in Esquire Magazine's annual list of 100 things, people, ideas, and trends you need to know. This model is here to stay!

What is your secret to beautiful skin?
Never sleep with makeup on; you've always got to wash it off with something gentle. Also, every three to four days I do a deep conditioning hair mask and a face mask.

What is the one product that you can't live without?
Black mascara.

What is your guilty pleasure?
Sleep! I love to sleep late, and I rarely have the chance to.

What is your favorite drugstore product?
Smiths Rosebud Salve. It's a cure-all for anything that ever feels dry, especially my lips.

Happiness is...

Victoria's Secret Launches Secret Embrace and BellaSugar Was There!

BellaSugar — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 12:38:11 -0800

Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend the exciting Victoria’s Secret launch for their Five New Secret Embrace Bras. The event took place at the huge two-floor VS store in NYC where four of the gorgeous Victoria's Secret Angels, Karolina Kurkova, Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, and Selita Ebanks, were in attendance.

Not only did I get to meet the models, but also I was able to speak with each of them one on one. Talk about nerve racking! However, once I got started I realized that I had no reason to be intimidated - these women were nothing but sweet, articulate and professional.

The event began with a photo op of the models in their designated colors followed by a move upstairs where interviews and autograph signings took place. It ended with a song, strawberry cake and champagne, in celebration of Karolina Kurkova's birthday.

The bras range in price from $42-$51 and after feeling them, I can't wait to get one. You may remember me mentioning it in my recent post about Oscars swag, but if not, they are one single piece of fabric that is: seam free, tag free and stitch free. When they are on, they look and feel invisible.

The bras are currently available in stores and online in an assortment of Spring colors in sizes 32A-38DD, depending on style and color.

As you all know, I have been conducting exclusive model interviews for my Model of the Week feature. Stay tuned for more exciting coverage of these Angels in weeks to come where only on FabSugar can find we find out their guilty pleasures, secrets to beautiful hair, skin...and more!

Coming Soon: Victoria's Secret So Sexy Instant Detangler

BellaSugar — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 13:00:35 -0700

This July, Victoria's Secret is launching another product in its So Sexy collection. Instant Detangler ($9.50) is a sweet-scented styling product that leaves your hair shiny and snarl free. I wouldn't exactly call it a conditioner because it's not going to treat dry, split ends or anything like that, but it detangles and softens hair, making it a definite summertime must-have.

In fact, I hear that this is one of model Izabel Goulart's favorite products. I can certainly see why: she's a quintessential beach babe who loves to cruise around with the top down. (In convertibles! Get your mind out of the gutter.) This is the perfect product to facilitate brushing your wind-blown and crusty, salt-water hair.

Not only does it contain silicone to help loosen tangles, it's also enriched with chamomile and vitamin B to smooth out the hair without making it look or feel greasy. I have a tiny sample to take with me on Spring break, but I'll definitely be buying more for my beach bag.
