Sally Hansen #VoxBox Review

Influenster, you've been so good to me.

I received another VoxBox a few days ago, the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Box.  I was sooooo excited when my VoxBox came in because, hello!  Tanner for my legs?  Yes, please!  I waited a few days to try it out, and then gave it a shot over the weekend when my legs were freshly shaved and ready to go.

Not the exact bottle I received

Here's the thing.  I'm beyond pale.  Pasty is a good word, but it still doesn't touch the surface of just how pale I really am.  For the last 31 years, my legs have been white-white-white and I've gotten quite used to it.  So when I slathered on my Airbrush Legs, following the directions on the bottle to a T, I was super surprised at the color.  It was considerably darker than what I'm used to seeing down there.  I was too distracted to get a picture but, trust me, you're not missing out on anything.  The Airbrush Legs bottle that I received from Influenster was the medium hue, and I think that's what did me in.  I'm ridiculously grateful to have received this product, but I think that, had I gotten the bottle for fair skin tones, things may have turned out differently.

I was inspecting the color and making sure that I covered all areas (including the pesky knee and ankle) evenly when my 5 year old walked into the room.  "Whoa, mom.  What.  Is.  That."  I explained to her what it was and she said, "I don't like you this color."  To be honest, neither did I.  BUT there were quite a few things that I really did like about this product, and that's why I'm recommending it.

1.  The directions were very clear on the bottle.  'Squeeze a quarter size of product into hand; smooth on evenly to legs and feet; rub in completely.  Apply sparingly to knees and ankles.  Allow to set before dressing.  Removes easily with soap, water, and a washcloth.'  I'm not very detail-oriented, but these directions were easy to follow and to the point.  You'd have to be an idiot to screw it up.

2.  The product went on smoothly and cleanly.  I've tried self-tanner before, and it was very unfortunate.  The Sally Hansen product, however, went on so smoothly it was like putting on actual lotion.  It didn't leave any streaks, and my skin didn't feel greasy.  The quarter-size amount really went a long way, too.

3.  It washed off VERY EASILY.  I waited about 15 minutes to get used to having one ghostly white leg and one tan-bordering-on-orange leg, and then my daughter convinced me that the "colored" leg had to go.  So I stood in my bathtub with a washcloth and some soap, and prepared to be there for awhile scrubbing this stuff off.  Imagine my surprise when, it came off easily with just a little pressure from the washcloth.  That alone made me love the product.


The color wasn't a great match for me, but that's really the only thing that I didn't like about the Airbrush Legs.  I think that, with a lighter color, it might look a lot better, and I'll definitely be buying this for fair skin tones in the future.  If you're looking to add some quick color to your legs, Sally Hansen is your girl!
