Marshmallow legs? Meet your nemesis.

This blog post began years ago, in a tanning bed, wondering when skin cancer would finally come for me. I love tricking my brain into thinking I'm tanning on a beach somewhere and the money I've spent trying to achieve that sunkissed look could've taken me to several real beaches, I'm sure.

If you check out Say Hello To Sexy Legs' website, it's gorgeous. Gorgeous models doing their job - modeling an amazing product. So now - you get me! 5'1", hasn't said no to a donut in her life, pale but sun-loving ME.

Say Hello sent these products to me in exchange for my thoughts good or bad. I'm simply delighted to report my thoughts are FANTASTIC. But don't listen to my thoughts, see 'em on my legs!

Things to note: The gel is not going to tint your skin at all. It's just like any lotion you'd put on - it'll wash off next time you're in the shower or bath. It does not transfer off onto clothes, towels, or blankets. It smells TERRIFIC. (Forget that weird tanning lotion smell - this is pure coconutty bliss.) Let's dive in!

On the left is the Tinted Glow Gel, on the right the Illuminating Fluid. You don't really need the illuminating fluid if you want to keep this super-simple. The gel is amazing on it's own.

It comes out SUPER DARK, don't panic. Just keep rubbing in evenly on your legs and it'll blend perfectly. (I honestly don't know how, it's kind of magical to watch.)

Legs are done as you can see, totes bronzey. Time to try out this illuminating fluid!

I followed the directions on their website, you pretty much just follow where your bone is. Definitely watch their video for tips on this.

It totally passes the dreaded Bathroom Lighting test! Loving the outcome. How about in direct florescent light?

(There's a before and after for you. YIKES to YASSSSS.)

Filter added? Yes plz. (Camera+ app on iPhone, night scene filter - removes shadows!)

For $38, a little goes a long way and this one bottle will definitely last me all summer if not next summer as well. The illuminating fluid was super pretty and added a pop but I probably won't use it every time. Nobody's staring at my legs that hard except me, right? And I totally approve. Thanks to Anne at Say Hello for sending this my way - you've got a lifetime fan.
