Advantages: Moisturising, Smoother legs
Disadvantages: Greasy-ness
***THE PRETTY POLLY RANGE***
Many of you will probably hear of Pretty Polly lingerie such as bra's and knickers and they also do hosiery as well. This whole range is made by the same people and they have a great range of different items including the Love Legs range which includes:
The Bare Range - This includes sheer leg make up for a flawless finish, Leg Bronzer to give those winter legs some colour, Bronze Leg Balm, Sparkling Leg Gel which moisturises hard working legs whilst adding a silver sparkle, Leg Shimmer and Bronzed Leg Gloss.
Prepare to Bare Range - This includes Leg Shaving Butter, Rich Leg Mask, Exfoliating Leg Wipes to buff away dull, lifeless skin, Invigorating Leg Scrub to leave legs soft and smooth and Soothing Leg Gel which leaves your legs feeling energised and invigorated.
***LOCK-IN MOISTURE LEG OIL***
This deliciously scented oil is deeply nourishing and will banish dry, scaly winter legs in an instant. Coconut and Vitamin E soften and condition, while dry oil formulation means no greasy residue, just soft glowing skin with a silky sheen.
To use: After Bathing, swimming or sunbathing, spray onto dry or damp legs and massage in gently with upward movements.
***WHERE TO BUY/PRICE***
I saw this range advertise in a magazine a few months ago and it wasn't until I went into Superdrug this week that I saw this range in the self tanning section. The spray bottle of Leg Oil was just priced at 98p, so it wasn't very expensive at all; this is what made me want to try it even more.
***PUTTING IT TO THE TEST***
I am forever buying and trying out new beauty products and seeing as we have actually had some warm sunshine already this year I thought I would try this product ready to bare my legs for when it gets even hotter.
After getting out the bath I patted my legs dry, and sprayed a generous amount onto one of my legs. It didn't even look like I had sprayed anything onto my legs so I sprayed a few more times. I then got ready to rub the oil into my leg. As soon as I put my hand on my leg I could feel that I probably sprayed a bit too much of the oil onto my leg, but I continued to massage the oil in slowly, spreading it over the whole of my leg.
The oil didn't really have much smell to it and the smell definitely wasn't strong or unpleasant. When spraying the smell only lasted a few seconds then disappeared. After rubbing the oil into both of my legs I could already see that they had a nice sheen to them. I thought I better wait a while for the oil to soak in a bit (I used this after having a bath and then wanting to go to bed).
It had been about 10mins and me legs still had a nice sheen to them but they felt a bit greasy to touch, this may be due to the amount I sprayed on, as I don't think you need to use as much as I did.
When I woke up the following morning my legs felt silky smooth and were very soft to touch. This definitely did a great job of moisturising my legs, but I'm not sure I would use this before going out on a night out as I find it can be a bit greasy.
I probably would use this product again and would definitely buy it again seeing as it was so cheap to buy. How-ever I can't actually see a huge different between using this and baby oil.
***OVERALL OPINION***
To be honest it wouldn't surprise me if this was just baby oil in a spray bottle. It's probably cheaper than baby oil and does exactly the same as baby oil. I would probably buy this again, but only because it is so cheap. If this item was more expensive I definitely wouldn't waste my money on it. I think the only other item I may try from this range would be the Leg Mask, but I think I would give the other items a miss as I think I may be let down by their other products.
Summary: Oil up your pins and prepare to bare your gorgeous moisturised and smooth legs.
