With the 2016 Summer Olympics underway, all eyes are on Rio and MBG is taking notice of all the amazing things Brazil has to offer. From white sand beaches, picture perfect views, to Victoria Secret-esque women clad in bikinis, Brazil is a country that holds the ace when it comes to beauty. For Brazilian women, beauty is serious business and it's no wonder why. To channel some of that Brazilian beauty into our own arsenal, we've come up with 5 beauty products that are in every Brazilian woman's arsenal.

3. BestBronze
When you think of Brazil, you most certainly think of bronzed, golden skin. But Brazilian women know better than to spend hours in the sun achieving that look. BestBronze is Brazil's highest selling bronzer and was voted as the #1 self-tanner in Glamour Magazine Brazil. It has a one-color-fits-all formula, gently glides on the skin and dries almost instantly. Supermodels such as Alessandra Ambrosio and Irina Shayk are just some of the products' celebrity users.
4. Granado
Created in 1890 as an exclusive supplier to the Brazilian royal family, Granado Pharmácias has been making luxurious skin care products for over a century.

5. Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
That's right! A cream for your backside that will banish cellulite and give you the firmest skin of your life. This cream is the talk of beauty editors and is making the rounds with celebrities. It is formulated with guaraná, an Amazonian plant that's packed with caffeine and is scented with notes of pistachio, almond, jasmine petals, vanilla, sandalwood and salted caramel.
