So, I've seen this product in the drug store before but never gave it a second look.
I happened to be watching a beauty vlog about self tanning (which is something I've been wanting - but nervous - to try) and the vlogger mentioned Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs at the end of the video.
She described it as "makeup for your legs". The sound of that seemed much less intimidating than self tanner because it's temporary and easy to wash off if you screw up!
So I ran out that same night and bought a bottle.
It comes in 4 different shades in a lotion consistency: Light, Medium, Tan and Deep.
Each of those shades also come in an aerosol can and feel more like a mousse. They are described as Light Glow, Medium Glow, Tan Glow and Deep Glow because they have bits of shimmer.
Now, I was going to purchase the "light" shade because I am extremely pale - especially my legs which rarely see the light of day. However, the sales girl talked me into getting the "tan" shade.
Her theory was that the colours don't go from lightest to darkest, but rather it has more to do with undertones and the light is more yellow, whereas the tan is more pink.
I took her word. She was wrong ;)
The tan actually looked lovely and gave great coverage without looking streaky, which was my biggest fear. It was, however, much darker than my arms, and my husband and I laughed because it looked like I had two different sets of limbs poking out from my dress. I ended up wearing a cardigan over my outfit to cover my arms, so no one knew the difference.
I went out the next day and bought the light glow which is amazing! It's perfect. It matches my skin tone, it doesn't streak. Words cannot express how much I love this product.
I've begun referring to it as legs in a can because when I spray it on, I literally feel like I am putting my legs on.
I've kept the tan shade to use for when I finally get the courage to use the self tanner I bought last month!
We'll see if that ever happens...
In the meantime, I am quite happy with my little legs in a can and would 100% recommend it if you want flawless leg coverage - who doesn't!?
Take a look and see what I mean:
