What I'm loving.

So I'm still not 100% sure if anyone is reading my blogs yet. So here I go with my third one. 

Elemis fresh skin Super Boost Moisturising Serum :-


This product I received from Timetospa.com it retails at £18 however I got 15% off by adding Shesaid at the checkout. (It expires on the 30th of June)  

I am a massive fan of all things Elemis but this is my all time favourite. I am also a firm believe that when the weather changes just like you change your clothes you should change your skin care. When you go on holiday I find my skin gets really dry and no matter how much moisturiser I use I always need a little kick. I think I've found my kick. 

When you 'pump' the serum out the bottle it looks like a white cream although it is really light it rubs in so soft and goes almost see through straight away. 













When rubbed in completely it totally disappears unlike some extra stream moisturisers I have used before. 

When I use this I don't add my usually moisturiser as I think this works better on it's own. It leaves the skin silky soft and I LOVE IT.  

Has anyone else blogged about Elemis Fresh skin? Please leave me your URL as I love reading what everyone else is loving. 

Thanks Dollies.

My first She Said Beauty box - June

I have read quite a few blogs about these kind of boxes and I was recommend this one so I was really looking forward to seeing what delights were inside.


My first impression was YES ELEMIS AND ST TROPEZ! These are up there in my top 10 beauty products. 


However let me start off with Yardley. My first impression was 'I think my Gran will like this' Although it smells nice and summerey, you can really smell the pear in it. I actually think it smells rather nice. Ok so I won't be swapping it for my Coco Chanel but it smells much sweeter than I thought. 
Full size £9.99

Elemis Tranquil Touch Indulgent Bath Elixir. I am so excited to use this. Elemis is my number one beauty product. Full size £19.00. 



Balance me - Super moisturising hand cream. Full size of 30ml is £6.00. I am a massive fan of hand creams. On my desk at work I am sure I have at least 3. 


Let's go - Lashes. Now I think every girl out there has a little place in their heart for a pair of eye lashes and of course I am one. I only wear them when I go on a night out so it's pretty rare and coming to think about it I haven't worn them for a while. When I head out to the races in a few weeks I will be wearing these and as they are £8.95 I think they are a great deal in the box. 



I have use St. Tropez gradual tan everyday body moisturiser before but not for a long time and as Summer seems to have come and gone I'm going to need every little help I can on getting a head start of a tan for my holidays. I am super excited about using this again. £14.50 for 200ml. 




The bonus item is Ginvera green tea nude cover BB cream. I have never heard of this product before. I'm not too excited about trying this but I'll give it ago.



Can't wait for next months. 

Do you get She said beauty box or another beauty box? Please let me know what you think.

Hello Dollies.

Hello Dollies.

I'm just learning how to actually work this whole blogging thing. 

So let me start by telling you a little bit about myself. I'm Katie and I'm in my early twenties and I live in the North East of England where the sun never shines (But don't worry I have fake tan for that). I have been reading blogs for a good 6 months now and I love reading what other people think about beauty products so I thought I'd share with the world my little secrets. I find it really helpful as I love trying new things. 

I have named the blog Polly as that is the nickname I give my sister. She is younger than me but we talk all the time and she gives me a lot of inspiration about new ideas. 

When I'm not at work (it feels like I'm always there) I love going shopping and trying new make up styles. I also have a passion to travel and trying new culture and new foods. 

I hope you like my little world and please feel free to leave comments as I'm always willing to learn new things. 

Katie.
