Get Sexy, Gorgeous Skin With The Hot New Skin Tight Body Lotion -- Prtty Peaushun

Once upon a time, in a land far away, but not so long ago, a girl named Karen dreamed of beautiful, perfectly bronzed and radiant legs. She was a dancer, you see and needed her legs to look fantastic at all times. She thought the end was near for her milky whites and clearly they were no match for self tanners. Then one day feeling very defeated her fairy Godmother decided to pay her a visit. 

She said, "Karen, why are so sad?
Karen replied, "It's my legs! They just aren't perfect like I want them to be." 
Her fairy Godmother giggled and said, "Well, I guess you haven't tried Prtty Peaushun then." 
"What's that?" Karen cried. 
"It's only the best thing that's ever happened to my legs since sliced bread deary!" Godmother replied while flashing her sexy legs Karen's way. 
Karen grasped in awe and replied, "I must have that!
Fairy Godmother wiggled her wand and POP! appeared a package of Prtty Peaushun in shade Medium. Karen squealed with delight and never feared for dull looking legs again. 
THE END.

Okay... so this story may or may not have happened, who can say really? However, the real story begins while I looked through my friend's photos on Facebook. I was browsing along and kept noticing how gorgeous her legs were. At work, the next day, I asked her what in the world she was wearing on her legs. She begin to tell me about a product she used called Prtty Peaushun and it was her little secret. I knew I had to have this miracle product. Now I knew it would be good. I didn't know it would be amazing.

All You Need Is The BeautyBlender For A Flawless Complexion



I had a dream once that I had perfect skin. When I say perfect, I mean flawless. Not a hint of makeup was showing. Not a section not blended. My skin was gorgeous. Then I woke up. My skin isn't what one would consider bad, but it's not the greatest. I have some redness (who doesn't?). I got a little discoloration happening (understandable). I like the rest of the world want flawless skin. Anyone knows you need great skincare to do that. But what if you want your makeup to help you out a little? Applying foundation is usually the first thing that many do wrong. It can happen for a variety of reasons. You're not using your brush properly or most likely you're using too much product. I searched for years to find the key tool in achieving that flawless look and I've found it. My beautyblender is my new best friend. She shall never leave my side. We'll go on trips together. We'll go on dates. We'll brave the hot summers. Oh yes, she's a lifer.
