Quick review: Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs

Hello everyone! 

Since the weather in N/W England has been lovely this past few days for the first time in months, the dreaded idea of getting the pasty legs out has arisen.

So, I decided to nip down to my local Boots and pick up the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Water Resistant Leg Makeup to boost my milky pins. 

I've heard good reviews about this product so picked up three different shades because they were on 3 for 2 in Boots. They are £10.29 each in Boots (on 3 for 2 with other tanners as well) and I also saw them in Superdrug for £9.99.

I got home and couldn't wait to test one out so I decided to try the lightest shade that I picked up which is MEDIUM GLOW. There is one or two shades lighter than this but I wanted bronzed legs so decided to pick this one up as well as two darker shades called TAN GLOW and DEEP GLOW.

I thought I'd start with the lightest just for a practice run to see how my legs turned out!

Here's what they looked like before in all their milky glory.

After applying product to one leg I saw a difference straight away, as you can see in the picture below. The leg on the left has no product on and the leg on the right has the tanner applied.

Definitely added some colour and evened out the skin tone.

Boo boo be doop!

I went on to apply the product to the other leg.

This is finished result in natural lighting in my bathroom.

And this is the result out in the blazing sunshine. A lot of people have complained of the glitteriness of the product but I don't seem to see it as too sparkly at all. There is a glisten and there are definitely glitter particles but I wouldn't say they are overbearing. 

What I would say though, in my hastiness to apply the product, I didn't prep my skin at all. The product collected in the shaving bumps I have from two day old shaving. I think a good exfoliate and moisturise before applying the product would do wonders. I will try it out tomorrow when I have a scrub in the shower and will see if it applies any better.

Overall I'm very pleased with this product. I will also write back about longevity and water resistance as I haven't checked that out yet. I think I may try a darker colour tomorrow too, just to go all out there!

If you have any questions let me know and I will try and answer them!

See you soon

Nails of the day.

Please excuse my lack of posts recently. I've been poorly-sick the last 3/4 days and have hardly been out of bed. Today I'm feeling a little better and decided to have a bash at some summery nails.

I aimed for daisies but came out with this. It's okay, probably won't keep it on for long, but thought I'd share it anyway.

Gotcha nose!

FOR SALE! UNIF HELLRAISER DUPES!

SPIKED LOAFERS FOR SALE!

I know, I know! Short lived, but I've come to the horrible conclusion that they were just too small for me. I've actually ordered another pair in the size up so not to worry! I can't send these back though so I have put them on ebay just now to try and get my money back! :)

If you know anyone that wants these shoes and are a size UK 3/4 point them to my ebay page, yeah? :)

New killer shoes!

Oosh! My new shoes arrived today and I wasn't expecting them for another couple of weeks!

I bought them from ebay and they were a complete bargain compared to the UNIF Hellraiser loafers I originally had my eye on...and they look exactly the same!

O.O.T.D and work clothes haul!

Evening guys.

I'm back from an eventful shopping trip for work shirts. Finally.

I've had to get a few new shirts as I've moved up in my job slightly so now get to wear fancy smanchy shirts instead of plain white. Wit wooo! So I trotted off out to town to pick up some work appropriate gear.

These pics were taken when I got back so I'm a little worse for wear and look a bit disheveled from trying on too many clothes, ugh! I'll show you what I bought at the end of this post, but here's what I wore today.

Nude camisole from Primark.

Black thick leggings from Topshop.

Tribal, fringed poncho thing from Topshop ages ago.

Black glitter TOMS and Michael Kors Rose Gold watch.

Here's what I bought.

All shirts from NEXT. Thought I'd go for sleeveless as it's coming into summer (hopefully soon!) and the environment I tend to work in is quite warm most of the time anyway!

(And I also snuck in a cheeky purchase from Topshop in the form of this dip dyed studded number at the back!)

Did I show you my new conch piercing? (It's the one with the bigger balls than the rest!)

If any of you know where to get nice and smart work pants, I'd love to know in the comments. I really struggle finding them. I did buy some from NEXT as well today, but have yet to try them on with my work shoes, I'm not sure if they're too short.

See you soon!

Envy!

Ugh, I want to dress like this all of the time. Someone please tell me where to get the perfect black skinny jean and perfect basic tshirts in the UK?!

£20 Makeup Challenge Tag!

Tomorrow I have a day off work and I think I might take advantage of some free time and try a fun makeup tag that I recently came across.

It's called the £20 Makeup Challenge.
Imagine you lose your makeup bag and have a big event to go to that night. You only have £20 to spend on cosmetics and you need to cater for everything from Foundation to lipstick to eyeshadow and blusher.
How would you spend your money? What would you buy? What would the end result be?

I definitely want to purchase the following items - foundation, mascara, powder, lipstick, eyeshadow.
I would like to purchase - eyeliner, blusher, brush/sponge, eyebrow pencil.

This averages out at just over £2 a piece. I wonder if I can do it?

I tag all of you to try this out, too!

O.O.T.D Skull tshirt!

Here's what I wore today.

Hoody from Topshop.

Leather jacket originally from River Island but bought at a carboot sale.

Bag is by Alexander Wang and is the Rocco studded duffle.

Skinny jeans from Topshop.

Cut out skull tshirt from Zara.

Black burlap TOMS from Office.

Hope you had a lovely day! x
