CHRISTMAS BEAUTY TIPS

Top tips to dazzle this Christmas

By Lesley Reynolds

WE ALL love to head off to our Christmas celebrations looking young and feeling fabulous so speedy treatments with top results are essential.

The good news is that with the latest generation of beauty products and minimally invasive procedures you can look and feel 10 years younger without too much hard work.

Here's my best fixes to guarantee you beauty confidence over the festive season.

Lips
Full lips have always been associated with youth and beauty but sadly as we age they lose their plumpness. If you're toying with the idea of fuller lips but feel nervous try the Cinderella Lip treatment, £100.
It's a temporary fix to plump up thin lips which will last for two to three days. A dental block is given and then saline is injected into the lip line giving the lips a natural outline and a fuller pout (020 7436 4441).
Cinnamon, clove and peppermint oils will swell lips temporarily. Dab on every couple of hours to maintain the results.

Body
If you're looking to beat the bloat before a Christmas party treat yourself to the Indiba Detox Body Treatment, from £180.
It lasts 90 minutes and covers the whole body. Using radio frequency it claims to help drain excess fluids, flush out toxins to restore energy levels and leave the skin rejuvenated and toned.
It's good for treating fluid retention and stressed skin. It will also help to perk tired legs (020 8416 3939).
Leading make-up artist Bethany Karlyn has worked with some of the world's most scrutinised women in the world, including Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker and Sharon Stone.
No wonder then that she's created Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion, £25. It lifts and firms while hiding cellulite and stretch marks and disguising varicose veins and bruises.
It's available in four shades and can be used all over the body (020 7235 5000).
Skin
The Dermaroller treatment, from £200, is a super-fast skin rejuvenator and can be used on the face, d©colletage and arms to give skin a youthful glow. A barrel-like hand roller with hundreds of fine needles is rolled over the skin leaving tiny pin pricks.

This is perceived by the body as damage which activates a wound heal response to regenerate the skin, boost collagen levels, treat fine lines and uneven skin tone.

Other skin ingredients such as peptides can be introduced after the treatment to penetrate deeper and leave a radiant glow. Results last up to three months.

To give skin a treat at home cleanse face and neck with Pure Instant Radiance Hot Cloth Cleanser, £9.50, Marks & Spencer (0845 302 1234) for a brighter, tighter, smoother skin.

Teeth
A dazzling smile lights up your face and makes you look years younger. The Deep Bleach Teeth Whitening treatment, from £280, involves the application of a gel to the teeth. It releases oxygen and whitens discoloured sections.
It takes around one hour and results last up to 24 months. (purelyaesthetic.co.uk).
If you don't fancy the salon I recommend Rapid White 1 Week Tooth Whitening System, £8.16. It will whiten teeth up to four shades during treatment, without peroxide (Boots).
HANDY FESTIVE FIXES:
• BOOST flat hair by changing your parting. You'll be amazed at the new body it will provide and it will change your look. ? WEARING your hair off your face? Balance Me Facial Expression Filler, £22, contains acacia gum to soften the appearance of forehead lines (balanceme.co.uk).
• KEEP wonder products by Miss Oops in your bag for emergencies. The Rescue Sponge, £10, fixes disasters from deodorant marks to food spills, while Mishap Tape, £9.50, works its sticky magic holding things together (020 7235 5000)

Got Holiday Parties? How To Achieve A Perfectly Airbrushed Effect!

Tis’ the season for Holiday Parties, which for many of us means dresses, heels, and lots of getting ready! And while the chill of the Autumn air can very well drive you to cover up with stockings and a shawl, I am here to tell you that it is, in fact, very easy to get the beautifully airbrushed look that you so desire! How, you ask? Why, with PRTTY PEAUSHUN skin tightening lotion of course!

A Glow To Go With Your Holiday Party Look

  


I absolutely love holiday parties! They are the perfect occasion to bring out the fancier, more-festive dresses [or suits for you lovely gentlemen out there] and simply have a wonderful time. But, of course, the fall elements can leave the skin looking a little less-than-it’s-best. That is where PRTTY PEAUSHUN comes in.
 This fabulous skin tightening lotion was originally created by celebrity makeup artist Bethany Karlyn, for the likes of her fabulous clientele. It comes in a number of beautiful shades [all of which can be used on ANY skin type, depending on how bronze you wish to be], and works to beautify your skin in the long AND short-term.

  

The science behind the short-term: PRTTY PEAUSHUN utilizes subtle light-reflecting particles with an emollient base to give your skin a gorgeous and flattering glow. The tinted versions also help to conceal minor imperfections and are designed to enhance definition to create a sexy, slimmer silhouette! Not too shabby, huh?
 The science behind the long-term: In addition to its beautiful short-term benefits, this product line is actually wonderful for creating a sexier, healthier look in the long-term! Infused with an innovative blend of natural plant extracts to lift, firm, tighten and diminish the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks and varicose veins, this product really has most of our common issues. And as an added bonus, it helps to minimize bruising and sore muscles!

 With PRTTY PEAUSHUN you can be confident that you will be sporting that beautiful holiday glow! And of course, it can be our little secret   PRTTY PEAUSHUN is a celeb-fav secret, and is used by the likes of: Anne Hathaway, Rhianna, Leona Lewis, and many others!

Fashion Magazine has the FIX for you!

Fashion Magazine is Canada's high fashion and beauty site.   Read below as Poonam, contributing editor, fixes some real life beauty questions and of course recommends Prtty Peaushun!!

I’m still up for baring my legs for nights out, but my summer colour is long gone. I’m not wild about self-tanning. Can you suggest an alternative to prevent my limbs from looking ghostly?
The fight against tights in the fall is real, because it seems that once you give in, you really can’t turn back for the following six months or so while winter runs the show! If you’re going to be baring leg, you better moisturize with something intensive, like Prtty Peaushun ($40, healthhutboutique.com). This body lotion is no joke, with ingredients like avocado butter, jojoba gel and green tea extract and It comes in five subtle shades, so it provides range for a hint of tint without committing to a colour for days at a time. It’s healthy for your skin and makes your limbs radiant without looking like you spent the afternoon toiling with a bottle of self-tanner in your bathroom. Success!

The Faux Workout Glow

Recreate all the beauty benefits of a heart-pumping session with a few easy tricks (and not a drop of sweat).
Thursday, October 11, 2012 | Nicole Catanese

Picture yourself after killing a good-but-not-grueling workout: Your cheeks are slightly flushed, your skin looks clear and dewy, and even though your lip gloss is long gone, damn, you look good. The same reasons that a regular fitness routine does your body right extend to your post-workout aesthetic as well. “When you’re exercising, the increase in your breathing rate causes an increase of oxygen in your blood; your heart begins to beat faster to move the newly oxygenated blood to your muscles, and your small blood vessels widen,” says David E. Bank, a dermatologist in Mount Kisco, New York and founder of The Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser Surgery. "It leads to an increase of blood flow to the surface of your skin."
Whether it’s because you’re not hitting the gym until later or you've given yourself the day off, here’s how to get that fresh-faced effect. No workout required.

1 Rosy Cheeks

Why You Get It: Disclaimer: We're after the pretty pinkness (not look-like-you're-gonna-die redness) that you get after a to-the-point strength and cardio hybrid. “The dilation of your blood vessels works to release heat,” explains Dr. Bank. “And since the air is usually cooler than our body’s 98.6, the blood runs under the surface of the skin, throws off heat to help cool you — and it’s this increased blood flow that causes the red appearance of the face after exercise.”

How To Fake It: Sure, you can layer on some pink blush and call it a day, but that’s not going to create the same finish as a natural flush. Kick start blood flow and increase circulation by applying a stimulating fruit enzyme-based mask (such as Kate Somerville's ExfoliKate Gentle Exfoliating Treatment), to clean skin, directly along cheeks for 30 seconds max, suggests Sage Maitri, a makeup artist in New York City. Then wipe off with a clean tissue.

2 Brighter Eyes

Why You Get It: “While there is no direct influence, regular exercise can help decrease the appearance of dark circles and puffiness underneath eyes,” says Dr. Bank. “Many times dark circles under the eyes are caused by low blood circulation and the increased blood flow can help them disappear.”

How To Fake It: All you need is a highlighter to reflect light off of skin. Maitri’s makeup kit staple: Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion in plain or light. (She says to ignore the body tout on the label and feel free to use it under brows, along the brow bones, and across lids). “Use this slightly iridescent and tinted cream over the body to perfect flaws, then tap what's left on your fingertips onto cheekbones, and a bit on the eyelid,” she says.

FIND IT >

3 Radiant Skin

Why You Get It: As exercise increases oxygenated blood to the skin, expect a complexion-perfecting side effect. “When the small blood vessels widen, they aid in carrying waste away from cells,” says Dr. Bank. “Your body then releases toxins through your sweat glands — all of which leads to even and clear skin.”

How To Fake It: Two words: tinted moisturizer. These lightweight formulas offer the perfect cocktail of hydration and tint — evening out skin tone, not hiding it. If your skin is dry, opt for hydrating Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30; more on the oily side — try Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 Oil-Free ($43, lauramercier.com). “Because you want to keep some rosiness to your skin, keep your cheeks bare and use the tinted moisturizer everywhere else,” suggests Maitri.

FIND IT >

4 Full, Rosy Lips

Why You Get It: Once again, you can thank the stellar blood flow. “When there is increased blood circulation, the result is a flushed face — which includes your lips,” says Dr. Bank. And since lips are naturally a bit tinted, a workout can take your born-with-it hue up a notch long after you put in the towel. “After exercise, this increased circulation keeps blood pumping for several hours,” he says.

How To Fake It: Not only do you need a surge of see-through color, you also need it to look fresh and hydrated. “Keep lips like yours but with a bit of moisture and a tint of color,” says Maitri, who reaches for tinted lip balm Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sheer Tint Sunscreen SPF 15.

A Match made in Beauty Heaven!

Wow, what a brilliant idea!  Birchbox and GOOP are partnering!  Thanks Refinery29 for thinking of us, read below,  we are a favorite of Gwyneth's and would love to be included... some day...

GOOP & Birchbox, Together At Last — Get Excited

By Taylor Barringer

In a why-didn't-we-think-of-that moment, we learned that Birchbox and GOOP — two names we're excited to hear together — were teaming up for a special-edition-curated box for October. Guess what? It's October now! Good news for new subscribers to Birchbox's $10 a month membership: They can now choose to have their first box shipment "Goopified" (yes, that's a word — we may have made it up, but still).

The companies haven't announced what will be in the box, but we'd like to remind them that some of Gwyn's favorite prodcucts, like Butter London polishes, seem like they're just the right size. Also, we're not sure if they are aware that Prtty Peaushun lotions come in squishy bags, perfect for fitting into small spaces. We're just saying.

The box promises to be full of products completely backed by the GOOP team. And, everything will be available on Birchbox.com in full sizes (!!!). We wonder if bee venom is going to be hard to ship.

Ready for Romance?

Spa Week Daily just mentioned us in their post "The Getting Engaged Beauty Routine".  We could not agree more, if you are planning a romantic getaway, Prtty Peaushun is a MUST.   We'll  make you look great in your birthday suit!  Check out the story below, nice ring Marissa!!

The “Getting Engaged” Beauty Routine

October 1, 2012 | By Marissa Gold

When my boyfriend told me he had planned a romantic surprise weekend, I was pretty sure that there was an engagement in the cards. But not totally sure.
Still, I didn’t want to look like a slouch for the occasion, and like most girls I spruced up with some beauty products. A whole lotta beauty products. In fact, I didn’t even realize how many products we use to get ready for a big night until I thought about it today. Here’s a snapshot at my pre-engagement beauty routine:
I used Sara Happ Vanilla Bean Body Scrub, which has extra large sugar crystals and smells delicious. There’s no shortage of shampoos and conditioners in my shower, but I grabbed Kerastase Bain Force and Frederick Fekkai Technician Color Care Masque since I love the way they smell [Note to self: Kerastase running unusually low. Strong suspicions that boyfriend has made friends with it]. Then, I used Living Proof Prime as my leave-in to ensure my blow-drying handiwork stayed in tact throughout the weekend. (It did! Still going strong after 5:00p.m. on Monday!)
As for my nails, I’m a diehard DIY manicure kind of girl, so if I’m going to outsource the job it’s gotta be a special occasion. I headed to Deva Spa in Soho for one of their notoriously particular manicures (read more about this here). The technician took one look at me and insisted “I have a color for you.” She layered a sheer bubblegum pink over a sheer iridescent pink, both by Zoya. See it (and the ring!) above.
Then, much to my chagrin, I realized there was no time for a spray tan (I’m obsessed) and threw a container of Prtty Peaushun in my weekend bag instead. At least I could smooth on this tinted lotion (with light-reflecting particles) and make my legs look a little tan for an hour or two.
Finally, I packed my favorite cheek color: Sue Devitt Gel Bronzer (the best bronzer EVER), two concealers (Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier), Blinc primer and eyeliner, and Clinique High Impact Mascara (if you haven’t tried Clinique mascara, do it. They’re all amazing.)
Phew. Do you use more or less products than that? Have you counted? Let us know your go-to beauty products for a special occasion below.

Diva Gals Daily Loves Us Too!

The gals over at Diva Gals Daily had a very busy week going to shows and parties for New York Fashion Week.  Lucky for the them, they had Prtty Peaushun to keep their gams glam!  Check out what they had to say!

SHIMMER. For TV DivaGal’s last night of NY Fashion Week Spring 2013, I rocked a strapless mini-dress which cried for my legs to look bangin’. So glad my Prtty Peaushun arrived earlier that morning in the mail. DivaGals first learned about this skin tightening body lotion from Made in Jersy‘s Toni Trucks. She gave it rave reviews, and we knew we had to give it a try ourselves. Squeezing out of the contaminate-free designed bottle, my Prtty Peaushun was a shiny coppery color — yes creator Bethany Karlyn, a celebrity makeup artist, has smartly made her magic potion in five different shades for all hues of pretty. I smoothed it on and could see the difference immediately as my legs took on a subtle glow that lasted all through the long night of shows, presentations and parties. Available at www.prttypeaushun.com.

One Of L.A.'s Top Hair Gurus Dishes On Her 28 Beauty Essentials

By Sarah St. Lifer

 

 The last time we ran into Kristin Ess, she was fresh off a flight from LAX. And, unlike most folks, not a hair was out of place. Our messy top knot didn't hold a candle to Ess' perfect mermaid waves (seriously, even fellow redhead Ariel would probably bow down!). As you can imagine, this level of glamour is common practice for The Beauty Department blogger — showing up at meetings with styled strands, flawless makeup, and never a minute late (yeah, she's that friend!).

As Lauren Conrad's go-to hair guru (she's responsible for that peachy ombré and those braid-within-a-braid styles), Ess has a ton of tricks up her sleeve. Lucky for us, she revealed the 28 beauty products she commits to day in and day out to keep her pretty from morning to night. Just don't be shocked if you run into us at the beauty counter stocking up, too!

The Beauty Product Gwyneth Paltrow and Rihanna Can’t Live Without

09/03/2012 at 06:00 AM ET

To make it onto our “Desert Island Beauty” list, a product has to be pretty incredible — and be a serious multi-tasker. And this one, Prtty Peaushun body lotion, easily makes the cut. It was created by makeup artist Bethany Karlyn, who needed a lotion to bring on set and slather on her celeb and model clients to make their skin glow and their bodies look tighter.
Prtty Peaushun is a favorite of everyone from Gwyneth Paltrow to Rihanna, Serena Williams and Cate Blanchett — and after we test-drove the lotion, it was easy to see why the product has such a widespread and cult-like following. It instantly makes your skin glow, masks imperfections like cellulite and blemishes, reduces redness and, as Karlyn explains in the video, if you choose a shade darker than your complexion, it adds a natural-looking tan.
E-tailer site Joyus.com, with whom we’re partnering up to bring you a bunch of great fashion and beauty products over the next few months, sells all five shades at a discount, so you can nab it for the special price of $29. We highly recommend stocking up pronto since this is one of Joyus’s best-sellers — and it’s been known to go quickly!
Check back every Monday for a new Joyus and PEOPLE StyleWatch video. Next week, Senior Style Editor Zoë Ruderman is sharing the two “It” bracelets of fall, both at exclusive, wallet-friendly prices.

The Fashion Spot wants you to Get to Know Prtty Peaushun

Beauty writer Sharon Feiereisen wrote a piece for The Fashion Spot about some "under the radar" beauty products.  With press like this we shouldn't be under the radar much longer!  Thanks for the love Sharon.




Prtty Peaushun

• This brand instantly won me over with its "Skin Tight Body Lotion" tagline. Created by celebrity makeup artist Bethany Karlyn, it's a lotion that works double duty as a skin tightener and body moisturizer. It's packaged in an eco-friendly manner and comes in five different colors (plain and four tinted shades), each with light reflecting properties to help visually slim legs.

Pretty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion is must-have item for summer

Published on Wednesday July 18, 2012

Share on twitter Share on facebook

Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion retails for about $40.

By Delap, Leanne Living Columnist

Every once in a while the beauty world produces a Furby or a Tickle Me Elmo frenzy product. This summer’s shelf-clearer is Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion, developed by Los Angeles-based makeup artist Bethany Karlyn.
A super sheer yet powerful all-over skin makeup with a real radiant glow, it wipes out the self-tanner and home bronzer market. It is that good. It’s natural-looking and, better still, it has all-natural ingredients that make you look and feel tighter, reduce the look of cellulite, cover and actually heal bruises, scrapes and cuts (that would be the arnica in it), hide stretch marks, blend tan lines and discolourations and reduce redness. As an added bonus, its botanicals naturally repel insects for summer porch and dock purposes. Whew.
Yes, at $40 a pop, the Real Housewives of Vancouver singlehandedly wiped out the stock at Kiss and Makeup in Vancouver in less than a day. It has just arrived here in Toronto at a few select purveyors of beauty and natural products. A recent party at Waxon Wax Bar at Summerhill saw a frenzy for it at the Society Global/Lainey Gossip soirée.
The packaging is really cool, basically a lightweight bag the company calls “anti-packaging.” It’s designed to both take up miniscule space in landfills and keep the product safe from sunlight.
As it is a collapsible bag, you can squeeze out every last drop. This is particularly important to me: nothing makes me crazier than trying to get the dregs out of a poorly designed package.
The legs on the package belong to celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, a devoted client of Karlyn’s.
The list of its fans would make an editor of UsMagazine drool. Gwyneth Paltrow buzzes about this goop on Goop. Anne Hathaway and Cate Blanchett are famously pale goddesses who use the stuff. (Gwyneth raves about how it improves muscle tone; Cate loves it on her face.) They would use plain, light or even medium when they have a bit of a Cabo tan. (I am currently using medium for summer, but love the light through winter; plain is just shine, no colour)
But better still, the product is so sheer that the colour range extends to every skin tone. The dark is what Rihanna uses, and the deep dark works on every richer skintone. (Serena Williams is also a fan.)
The other amazing thing is that there is no transfer to clothes or sheets — though I would recommend you allow a few minutes for drying time if you plan to wear something white.
The formula is PETA-approved, which means it is 100 per cent vegan. It contains 99.7 per cent naturally derived ingredients, 96 per cent of these in raw form. It is fragrance-free with a light scent from the citrus elements in the potion. Highlights from the label include various coconut oils, grapefruit waxes, avocado and jojoba oils, rosemary and calendula as well as the healing/tightening arnica.
If you make one cosmetic splurge this summer, this is it. When you glow this perfectly, you don’t need more than a swipe of lip gloss and a dab of blush.

Toronto retailers of Prtty Peaushun include:
 • 889 Yoga, 889 Yonge St. and Thompson Hotel
 • Green Beauty, 3471 Yonge St.
 • Jacob & Sebastian, 622 Queen St. W.
 • Waxon Waxbar, 1246 Yonge St.
 • Windsor Arms Hotel, 18 St. Thomas St.

Our friend and fan Courtney Leiva is contributing editor at Love Twenty, a site targeted at the twenty something set.  Here she picks her summer picks, trends, and must haves.  Check it out, of course we are included in the mix!!

Trendspotting: Your Friendly Neighborhood Fashion and Beauty Finds

by Courtney Leiva on Jul 18, 2012 • 2:14 pm No Comments

Oh hello, summer trends! We’ve been waiting almost forever for your arrival and now that you are officially here, we can’t stop talking about you–and trust us, it’s not the gossip kind. Dishing on the latest summer must-haves, this comprehensive guide has got you covered on everything trendy and hip for summer trendsetters everywhere.

3 Way Beauty Shhh! Bar

I know what you are thinking… three-way, huh? As shocking as it may sound, Stormsister Spatique has developed the beauty product where you can get your three-way satisfaction (seriously) in a small bar promising shampooing, showering and shaving. Developed with seven skin nourishing oils, this small gem is the eco-lover’s dream with the 100% compostable packaging, not to mention the commitment to non-toxic ingredients. Traveling this summer? Save some space in your makeup travel bag with this time-saving find.

Prtty Peaushun

When I heard that Gwyneth Paltrow was a fan, I had to see this product for myself. The brainchild of celebrity makeup artist Bethany Karlyn, this skin tightening body lotion not only helps toned abs and arms look super fabulous, but with its light reflecting particles, an all-around healthy glow has never been easier. For a summer bronzed look, use this lotion after a long day at the pool to help accentuate that bronzed glow!

Violent Lips Glitteratti Mix Collection

Take your lips to the carnival this summer with the Violent Lips’ Glitteratti Mix Collection. With cotton candy hues and deep cherry reds, get a load of “The Blueberry Dream” and “The Black Cherry.” Two-tone lips never looked so dazzling. Application might be tough for the Violent Lips newbies, but with its impeccable eye-catching style, a night of summer cocktails just got more exciting.

Manna Kadar Cosmetics Lipsticks

Still obsessed with orange? Me too! Sure, neon oranges and tangerines are all the rage this summer, but when I want just a sheer muted orange for a daytime look, I go to Manna Cosmetics lipsticks for a soft touch of orange without the bold punch. A creamy finish each time of use, these sleekly designed lipsticks are travel-friendly and not to mention totally stylish. My recommendations? Go with Lola and Bunny for shimmering nudes and soft desirable orange.  

NCLA Nail Wraps

Crave instant nail art but don’t have the steady hand to pull off such trendy designs? Thanks to NCLA, nail art has never been easier. In alluring designs such as Ikat prints and bright neons, go Egyptian with “I See You” or give summer a warm welcome with “The Ray and the Ro,” a fiesta inspired print. Much like the nail stickers you might remember as a kid, use top coat (I love NCLA’s “Gloss It”) to keep these designs in place. Each kit comes with its own nail file so keep those nails in tip top shape.

Angel Jackson Bags

Sigh… which one of these can I stop drooling over first? The popular British handbag retailer has been seen in the hottest fashion magazines and on the arms of personalities such as Girls Aloud–so what’s not to love? Despite the large price tag, these gorgeous bags are so breathtaking they should just be considered art (Hello Pinterest). Enough said!

Beauty Blender Sponge

Tired of poorly applied makeup? Let the Beauty Blender Sponge come to your rescue with its unique egg-shaped sponge applicator. Unlike most makeup sponges, this elliptically-shaped sponge leaves zero streaks with its shape and texture allowing you to perfectly contour your face while evenly covering those hard-to-reach areas as well. Happy blending!

Clarisonic Mia 2

No beauty arsenal is complete without one of these supersonic babies, and when the temperature hits scorching heights, proper skincare (or should I say sonic care) is key. With the Clarisonic Mia 2, wash your face up to six times better than you would wash with your hands. A relaxing massaging feeling on your face doesn’t hurt either, so invest in this tool for a noticeably improved complexion in over six weeks.

Urban Eclectics Ombre Shorts

Love the ombre look, but lack the DIY touch? Sure, I encourage all you creative cuties to go out there and make your best trendiest pair of shorts, but for those of us who don’t have the creative hand (me and dye don’t mix), there is Urban Eclectics–a guaranteed trendsetting Etsy shop geared toward suiting your ombre needs. From tribal prints to distressed denim ombre, get some fashion inspiration for your next summer party. You’re welcome!

The Beachwaver

Beach inspired waves have never been hotter this summer, so shake up the usual curling iron routine with Sarah Potempa’s Beachwaver iron. Unlike the usual curling iron, this rotating curler gives you enviable beach curls with a click of a button. An all-star favorite in Allure, Teen Vogue, and US Weekly, mermaid curls are totally your hairstyle this summer.

What do you want to get your hands on first?

Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion, $39.95

So Memorial Day is this weekend, and I’m all prepared to break out my shorts but shocker–my legs are looking less than stellar, thanks to a faded vacay glow and my only twice-a-week workout (hey, I’ve been busy!). Spray tanning, of course, is an option, but I’m reserving my funds for a more special occasion than the usual, just-wearing-shorts-this-weekend affair.

Fortunately, I’ve found that miracle beauty product that will transform my legs into a flawless looking, vein-free and beautifully toned set of stems. The Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion, created by celebrity makeup artist Bethany Karlyn, is an all-natural, cruelty-free, hydrating moisturizer. The organic, anti-inflammatory ingredients are like a super-power skincare cocktail, diminishing cellulite, bruising, stretch marks and imperfections, all while boosting collagen production to keep your skin from looking older than it should. It’s also loaded with light-reflecting pigments that work just like a face foundation, giving just a hint of tint to even out your skin tone, and in this case, enhance your muscles so your legs suddenly look like you’ve logged in a lot of gym hours. Of course,when you rub it in all over, the same effect will occur on arms and abs too. Since the formula actually improves skin with each application, I’ve got nothing to fear with the skin-baring summer ahead. Bring on the weekend!

Sexy Skin

Makeup (even the natural looking kind) isn't just for your face. Legs, which are often covered in cellulite and spider veins, could also benefit from a wash of color. Prtty Peaushun ($36, Prttypeaushun.com) includes light reflecting particles that make legs look toned. It comes in a range of colors, so you can find your skin's match.

NewBeauty at Fred Segal Product Pick: Prtty Peaushun

Posted Wednesday, May 30, 2012 by NewBeauty Editors

Every day at the NewBeauty at Fred Segal store in Santa Monica, CA, we find out which beauty products our sales team and customers rave about regularly! That's why we're sharing our staff's product picks of the week so you can find out what's popular and give it a try too.

This week, our store manager Elena Severin says she's in love with a product that makes your skin photoshoot-worthy within seconds. It's called Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion ($36) and she says, "It gives your legs and body a hint of color and shine without the hassle of a self tanner. Plus, it has green tea, rosemary and arnica to help with veins, bruising and water retention. Our customers love the way it smells and how it helps fake a bikini-ready body!"

Since it started selling at our store in April 2012, it's been a hit with customers. One fan has already purchased it twice and says it's the only thing she wears with dresses and shorts because it's like "an outdoor workout in a bottle" since it helps tighten skin and evens out the color.

Look for it online or stop by NewBeauty at Fred Segal to find out more. It's a great way to get perfect skin in a hurry and garner lots of compliments too. "I had it on this weekend and three people complimented me on how great my skin looked," says Severin. No wonder stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Cate Blanchett swear by it too.
