Sally Hansen Airbrush legs lotion review

A few days ago, Sally Hansen sent me their Airbrush Legs lotion to try and to give my honest opinion of the product. I'm personally on the fence about this product. My first thought was "Why not just wear some tights if you want your legs to look flawless?" and "Why not just go get a spray tan?" Then sitting on the idea of this product for a couple days, I thought that there might be something to this product, so I gave it a shot. Especially since my legs are super pale and can blind anyone if you saw them. Just as a note, this is not a self tanner lotion, this is quite literally, leg makeup. So it's good if you haven't had a chance to get out and go to the beach and need some quick color for your legs.

The color that I received was medium. As I put a little lotion in my hands, I thought to myself that it was going to be too dark for me but as I put it on, I found that the color evened out really well and gave good coverage and color. Consider it almost a BB cream for your leg in a sense. It really gives a natural color in my mind. That is if you can get the product blended out enough before it dries. Maybe it's because of the "waterproof" aspect that the product has that makes it dry so quick but that's my only complaint is that it dries too fast to, which makes it hard to blend out and make the coverage even. I've read other reviews that say it comes out of the bottle "messy" but I don't find that personally. It goes on really smoothly...until it dries at least.

I was looking on the sally hansen website and they do have a spray version if this product and I have a feeling that works a bit better than the lotion version I received. I can see why they have both on the market. Some people probably prefer one over the other. It took me a fair amount of effort to get an even coat of this product on my legs and I would really like to try the spray version of this to see if it's any easier to work with.

Leakycon 2014

This past week, I went to Leakycon 2014 in Orlando, Fl. It was a blast! I loved seeing so many people cosplaying as their favorite characters. I am amazed at how much time some people put into their costumes and how great they look. There were so many fantastic and interesting panels as well. Many good discussions happened this week in the panels. I may go again in the future but for next year, I'm planning on going back to vidcon since I haven't been able to go the last 2 years. In the meantime, here are some vlogs that I uploaded from my leakycon experience. :-) Enjoy!

Well, hello. Here's a blog that I hardly ever post on. Why you ask? I have no clue. It just feels weird to me at the moment to even be writing a blog because with blogger or even tumblr, you can't make these posts private to where only your friends can see them. Which I feel is very odd. If that's a strange way of thinking then so be it. I journal every day and I talk to my best friend on a daily basis, mainly via text and skype every few days. I post pictures on my facebook and instagram of important events. Sometimes I even vlog and post it on youtube to share. I'm spread across so many social media sites including facebook, twitter, tumblr, instagram, myspace, google plus, youtube and pinterest, that I never focus my thoughts in one place.

I admit, I don't have much of a social life at the moment. I like to hide behind my computer screen or have my face in a book. Probably more so than most. Gotta love social anxiety! I try and get out every once in a while but it's hard for me to do. I find myself making plans and then making an excuse as to why I can't go. This is something I'm trying to work on. I see my therapist twice a week and she is absolutely fantastic. I'm not agoraphobic because I'm able to go to the grocery store, ride the bus and travel. Just social interaction isn't my strong suite.

I may or may not post here more. I'm not sure yet. I used to blog frequently when myspace was popular but I fell out of the habit and never got back into it. I used to post on livejournal a lot more as well but haven't logged on in months. I'd like to write about my experiences thus far with my mental health issues. Although I'm wary about revealing personal information on any public forum. Especially with past trauma that I've had. I just want to help educate others. I don't claim to be a mental health professional though. I've considered vlogging about it on my youtube channel but it's difficult me to express myself verbally and I'm more confident in regards to writing than I am speaking.
