Review & Giveaway Break - PRTTY PEAUSHUN

Prtty Peaushun is a must have accessory for a dress or girls night out! The new, unique body lotion is great for shoulders and legs when you want to flaunt them!

Created by Celebrity Makeup Artist, Bethany Karlyn, Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight body lotion has subtle light-reflecting particles in a natural emollient base give the skin a gorgeous, flattering glow. The radiance conceals minor imperfections and enhances definition to create a sexy, slimmer silhouette.

Prtty Peaushun is infused with a blend of natural plant extracts to lift, firm, tighten and diminish the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks and varicose veins, as well as minimizing bruising and sore muscles.

I've paired this with every dress I wore this summer. I brought it to Vegas with me for my two best friends' bachelorette party and all the girls used it and raved about the smell, which is a lemon-y scent. It comes in fun packaging too. Looks like a Capri Sun!

I can definitely notice a difference when I use this: my legs have a more even color (not darker in front than back) and it reduces the appearance of cellulite (I can tell its the gold tint/radiance ingredient that does this). Overall, my legs look sleeker, and I feel great - it's a keeper!

Miracle Skin Transformer

I've been crazy about tinted moisturizer with SPF this summer. I don't keep this in my beach bag, but I definitely put it on before going out in the sun. Miracle Skin Transformer is something I've never experienced before. A hydrator, enhancer and protector, all in one. I'm normally not one to fall for the 'air-brushed' look scheme, but the Skin Transformer does leave my skin pretty flawless. It reminds me of Smashbox Photo Finish, but without the breakout.

Miracle Skin has a similar texture to Smashbox's Photofinish, but it's a tinted formula. With SPF and moisturizing ingredients, I wear it by itself to give my skin a break from makeup. I usually put my moisturizer on first, and then Miracle Skin, which makes my skin super soft and gives me a matte finish. I normally use foundation for light skin, but since I have a bit of color from the summer, I used the medium color and it does a great job at covering my blemishes.

Some of the ingredients:

• Saw Palmetto Extract
• Passion Fruit
• CO Enzyme Q10
• Vitamin K & A
  
• Vitamin
• Antioxidants
• SPF UVA/UVB
• Ecophysalis

Comes in 4 shades:

• Colorless
  
• Light - fair and natural skin tones
  
• Medium - sun kissed looked, this is the one I used
• Tan - for darker and deeper skin tones

CND Shellac Manicure in Romantique

My best girlfriend Tina gave me an at-home Shellac manicure last night. After 25 minutes, and a bottle of wine (!), my nails were painted with a base, 2 color, and a top coat, and out the door dry!

Romanitque is a soft pink that will go with basically any outfit and accessories. It could also be used for a stand-out french manicure base.

I highly suggest trying a Shellac manicure out for your next event or maintenance manicure. Check out CND's website to find the location nearest you! I paid $25 for my last Shellac manicure, but I've heard of salons charging up to $40 (and up to $80 in NYC). I would suggest calling around for the best price in your area.

I'd love to hear your experience with Shellac...comment below!
