REVIEW: Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs - Tan Glow




Firstly I just want to say thank you for your kind wishes I am feeling a lot better today I have a docs appointment this morning.

Anyway onto the review I shall start by saying I have been using this for a few months now and I have to say this is my favourite fake tan product. It does have a down side though but the colour and ease of use makes it a definite winner with me.

This is what the company say about the product:

If you have freckles, veins and imperfections on your legs that you want to cover up, Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Tan Glow is the product for you. Your legs will look beautiful with a long-lasting wash-off tan. Silky smooth, long-lasting leg make up that stays put and washes off.
  • Covers imperfections, enhances skin tone and makes the most out of what you have got.
  • Safe, convenient and provides an instant result which you can wash off when you want.

How to Use

  • Shake can well.
  • Spray directly onto hand and apply evenly all over legs.
  • Allow to set for 60 seconds before dressing.
  • Easily removed with soap, water and a face cloth.
  • Use only as directed.

Firstly shake the can and spray onto your hand and then rub it into your legs, when you spray it in your hand you will be a bit taken aback as it looks like a blob of brown fizzy mess.  When you start rubbing it in it feels like thick foundation, basically its like foundation for your legs as its meant to cover veins and marks, I am not sure if it does as I don't really have any prominent veins or marks on my legs.
Because you can blend this so easily and the colour is so natural it looks fantastic.

This is my legs after 1 application with nothing else underneath.

Usually I wear my St Moriz (Dark) (the lovely Vix is a fan of this too)  and then I add this as an extra topping just to give that ultra flawless finish.  Airbrush Legs does have sparkly glittery bits in but its not so sparkly that it looks silly.  
I use this a lot and not just on special occasions, and I use it all over my body apart from my face. 


The downside with this is that it rubs off onto clothing and bedding so you have to be careful.

PROS

1) Easy to use
2) No Smell
3) Brilliant consistency
4) Foolproof you cannot go wrong with this stuff as you can see exactly where you put it and its so blendable
5) The colour is great
6) Its not too expensive
7) Washes off hands really easily after applying


CONS

1) It sometimes rubs off onto clothing/sheets etc
2) Washes off as soon as you have a bath or shower, which is a pro and a con really.

These are the colours in the range but I would strongly advise against the Deep Glow as I found it to be really orange.  I used it once and it looked like I had been tangoed big time, luckily you can wash it off straight away!  I have not tried the Light Glow or the Medium Glow as the Tan Glow is the ideal colour for me. 



Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs retails at £10.20 in Boots but I buy mine in Savers for £6.99. Sometimes Boots do Buy 2 get 1 free offers on this product. I know that Asda and Tesco stock it too but I am unsure of the price I know the cheapest I have seen it was in Savers.

The next one I am going to try is Palmers Cocoa Butter Natural Bronze, this is a moisturiser with fake tan in. I have heard great things about this so I will let you know what I think of this too!

  11. I am too fearful of making a total mess of myself. This summer I've got almost no natural tan at all, very disappointing.

  12. Great post, thanks for sharing, I love St Moritz. Your legs look great with the Sally Hansen airbrush legs, but I do worry if your on a night out and you spill your drink or it rains it will end up all streaky. I've heard really good stuff about the palmers one. Look forward to seeing your review xxx
