Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs

-

Packaging:
Brown aresol metal can with a shiny silver cap. It has a wide nozzle that emits a strong/faint/narrow/wide spray. I like how you can determine how much product is left based on the weight of the can. If you don't press hard enough on the nozzle the product fumbles out and gets over the nozzle which doesn't affect the opening but looks messy.

Smell:
None.

Colour:
Medium Glow - light/ medium skin tones. Available in 5 shades.

Formula/ Texture:
This is a runny liquid. It is lightweight and undetectable on the skin. It's best applied and blended in immediately using the fingers, working in small areas. Otherwise I have found it to stain where it lands, in large amounts if not enough pressure is applied to the nozzle.

The thing I love about this is that once it sets you are ready to dress. I guess this is one way its different from generic tan. The quick drying means you can use it all over the body. I haven't had any irritations or product transfer using this. The other difference about this product is that it is like foundation for your legs, after 2 soapy washes, the product is removed. It's not formulated for long wear.

In saying this it does wear off evenly and will cling to dry patches of skin, like generic tan liquids will do. The finish on this is natural, where there is some sheen to the skin and I can see faint shimmer when looking at my skin unclose. I feel like this hints at healthy looking legs.

I love the colour of this as it matches the more sun exposed areas of my body perfectly. It does cover faint scars, freckles and small veins. I don't have any "imperfections" more pigmented to cover so I can't speak as to how this'll cover deep dark veins.

The formula is said to stimulate mircocirculation in the legs to promote firmer looking legs which honestly I don't see. I just see the shimmer.

This is the perfect solution for tan touchups or instant colour for last minute night out plans. I will defiantly be buying this again for those occasions where I don't want to do a full body tan and want something to last a few days not weeks.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $27/ US$13 (Ulta) for 124.7g/4.4 fl.oz.

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out.

Benefit Benetint

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
