Beauty is a pretty face.Beauty is a brand new vase.Beauty is lovely hair.Beauty is an oak wooden chair.Beauty is a graceful smile.Beauty is a great sense of style.

Beauty is a fragrant smell.Beauty is a 5 star hotel.Beauty is a nice toned body.Beauty surely isn’t shoddy.

Beauty is sleek smooth skin.True beauty is deep within.
