Holy Gift Bag: Check Out The Winners Of The Redbook Most Valuable Product Awards 2011

Wow! What a breakfast!

I was invited to attend the Redbook Most Valuable Product Awards for 2011 this morning. The event took place at the Bryant Park Grill and the room was filled with representation from every major brand known to man… I mean woman.

Camila Alves (Matthew McConaughey’s better half) was part of the festivities and joked about some of her beauty secrets and mistakes. One that I paid specific attention to was her homemade hair mask that she used to make with her mother. You mash up avocado – slather it on your head – and then go to the beach for about an hour. The actress said she did this a few times a month to ensure her locks stayed shiny and healthy.

I got up close and personal with her hair at the Redbook MVP awards and BELIEVE ME – it works!

Onto the winners! If you are looking for great advice about what beauty and hair products ACTUALLY work on the market – look no further! Here’s the 2011 list of winners from the Redbook Most Valuable Product Awards:
