I mean Lupita is the perfect cinderella story,America likes the whole oh she's from Kenya bla bla bla situations. Now everything Lupita does is gold am sure if she*poops* they'd probably auction her shit or something LOL

The French beauty giant, which was thrilled to have struck gold with some free publicity, was quick to rush in extra stock from Paris in order to meet the demand and even offered limited-time free shipping for the product on its website.It's no surprise Ms Nyong'o was carrying her favorite brand of lip balm, which rather conveniently matched her stunning pale blue Prada dress, with her on her big night.
