Dupes: Stila Make Me Blush Palette and Physicans Formula Happy Booster Blush

I was flipping through some old magazines and came across a blush that reminded me of the Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush. The Make Me Blush Palette by Stila had multi-colored, mosaic heart details in its compact similar to the Happy Booster Blush.

So for the cute blush and bronzer compacts all you pay is $20.99!

The Stila blush advertised for $14, so paying $20.99, the Physicians Formula blush and bronzer come to $10.50 each!

Finishing Products: Soap & Glory- Flake Away

I am not one who likes to let things go to waste. My mom always told me “finish this, then you can open the new one”.  When it comes to makeup and other beauty products the only things I have completely finished using are things such as mascara, eyeliner, foundation, lip balm etc. Rarely have I finished blush or lipsticks. The reason:  probably because I opened or bought new ones before I could have the chance to finish the others.

Recently I finished using up a body scrub by Soap and Glory called Flake Away. I had purchased the product from Shoppers Drug Mart a while back and the tub contained so much product that I knew it would last me a long time. All you needed was a small amount to exfoliate both your legs.

The scrub, described as a shea butter, sugar, and peach seed powder spa body polish ‘was’ a grainy yellow substance that had a very pleasant smell. After washing it off, the oils in the scrub left my skin completely soft and silky. 

For the price and the amount of product that you get in the container, this is definitely one of those deals worth getting your hands on. 

Now that I have finished using of all this product I won't feel guilty for buying another body scrub! I feel like trying some other body scrubs. I'm interested in trying some more organic products so if you have any ideas let me know! 

Review: Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs and

What woman doesn’t want to have “perfect” legs? “Perfect Legs” can have different meanings for various individuals. For me, physically it means to have tanned, virtually flawless legs.  Symbolically, it means to have the confidence to strut around in a pair of shorts or a dress and truly believe you are beautiful. 

I have not always felt comfortable showing off my legs, but over the years I have become more confident in my own skin. Make up has helped me in a sense to gain this confidence. Wearing makeup does not have to mean that you are trying to cover up who you are. For me I love it because I truly believe it emphasizes a person’s true beauty. So, going back to having “perfect legs” why can’t you emphasize the true beauty of your legs with make up?

Well apparently you can.  Sally Hansen’s Air Brush Legs claims to give you “perfect legs in an instant!”. Before I started researching this product I was leaning toward a sort of foundation that could be used for the legs.  As I learned more about Air Brush Legs and saw more pictures it looked like I had found what I was looking for.  Specifically, I did not want a kind of self-tanner that looked orange.

I ended up purchasing Sally Hansen Air Brush Legs from Shoppers Drug Mart for only $9.99! I was debating whether to get Medium Glow or Tan Glow, and settled on Medium Glow thinking that Tan Glow would be too dark for me (even for the summer time). 

Application: I started off by shaking the bottle and spraying it into the palms of my hands. Then I applied the desired amount of product onto my legs. I waited about 10 minutes until I sat down (the directions recommend 60 seconds, but I didn’t want to risk transferring the product onto my clothes and furniture). After, I looked at my palms and immediately noticed the overwhelming amount of shimmer that was still on there. Since the product is water-resistant I used soap and water and it came off. 

Final Thoughts: I was skeptical about Air Brush Legs because of all the negative reviews for the amount of shimmer in the product, and as you can see in the picture above, it is quite visible. Personally, I do not mind it too much, but if you are not a fan of a lot of shimmer, I would not recommend this product.

Coverage-wise I am really happy with how the product helps even my skin tone and adds a beautiful, healthy glow to my legs even when I'm not tanned. I don’t know if I would risk wearing a white pair of shorts when using Air Brush Legs, but I am going to try it out anyways and find out for myself.

For those of you who prefer a product that is easier to apply you can give the new lotion version of Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs.

 

Let me just tell you that this packaging makes the product 100 times easier to apply. It literally looks like a foundation when you squeeze it out of the tube. The other difference I found between this packaging and the original is that this cream/lotion version is completely matte.Other than the application the product gives the exact same effect to your legs.

Overall, I love Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs. I will definitely repurchase the cream/lotion version as long as they make it!
