One of my favourite things to do during my lunch break is peruse fashion blogs.  As much as I love getting outfit ideas from some of my favourite bloggers, it can often leave me with major leg envy.  Is it just me or does every fashion bloggers have perfect legs?  Okay, I know a lot of you can just blame it on Photoshop, but really, no matter how many lunges or squats I do, I just can’t seem to get those perfect, flawless legs.

Well one of my secret weapons for temporarily having flawless gams is Sally Hansen’s Airbrush Legs Leg Makeup.  I reviewed this product two years ago in the spray format and although I still use it and love it, I’ve always found that the product can be quite messy to apply. You’re supposed to spray it directly in your hands first and then rub it onto your skin. The problem is that the spray can get everywhere, all over your bathroom floor, on your clothes, etc.  Well luckily Sally Hansen I guess realized this too and they actually released a lotion version of this miracle product.

For those of you unfamiliar with Airbrush Legs, it camouflages veins, pores, bruises, etc., leaving you with flawless, smooth-looking legs, kinda like you’re wearing pantyhose.  It’s waterproof and doesn’t transfer on clothes once dry (with that being said, I still wouldn’t wear white with this stuff).  Both the spray and lotion comes in four shades: Light Glow, Medium Glow, Tan Glow, and Deep Glow.  I’ve tried them all except for Deep Glow, and my favourite is Tan Glow when paired with a self tan.  Because the hemlines tend to get shorter in the hotter months, I usually only wear this during summer, so I can pull off the Tan Glow colour.

Anyways, back to the lotion version, this works the same way as the spray formula but comes in a convenient squeeze bottle, where it’s so much more cleaner and easier to apply.  The product also isn’t cold like the spray version and it doesn’t feel as greasy as it either.  I have tried it both applied directly as is and mixed with a moisturizer.  Both ways work, however, I get a more even application when it’s applied as is.

Overall, both formulations work the same way and give you the same result, however, I have to say that if you were new to the product and wanted to try it out but confused on which kind to get, buy with the lotion version, it’s so much more cleaner and easier to apply compared to the spray.  No one likes scrubbing their floors getting their leg makeup out (oh the joys of looking perfect 😉 ).

Have you tried Sally Hansen’s Airbrush Legs?  Which formulation is your favourite?

Please note, I was sent this product from PR.  All opinions are my own.
