Oh Why Did You Have To Go & Change - Anatomicals Body Scrub

Old One But A Good One.
This was my bottle from May and when I first reviewed it (here). I loved this because it had a jelly like consistency so it could I had time to close the lid using both my hands and I didn't loose produce from the bottle or off my hand. The new bottle I saw online at New Look in a more red colour bottle I assumed was the same.
It's Red... Honest.
I was wrong. The very clear colour of the liquid was now an olive oil colour and the beads were bigger and felt alot rougher to me. I like a scrub as good as anyone but I like to have skin afterwards. It dose work well of the patches of psoriasis I have but I don't feel I can use it everywhere. The liquid really is that, if I turn the bottle upside down while it's open it drips out and just can't be contained . It smells different too and not in a good way I can't work out what was being aimed for but I sure didn't work. I have however found a reasonable use for it I scrub my feet with it. Good for any hard bits of skin as I'm usually on my feet all day at work. So not completely useless but not fit for purpose. If you do find the pink bottle please let me know where as I would get the original formula if I could.



Leaving on a more positive note the  "Not Another Rough Day Please - Body Lotion" is pretty darn good. It's a simple lightly fragrance lotion. It spreads out well and sinks it quickly. The smell is nice and not over powering just fresh rather than a particular scent. To be honest it's just another generic body lotion no bells and whistles but it dose the job its made for. Probably won't purchase it again as there are better lotions out there for my dry skin. But when I just need a quick fix or to just use after a shower to stop my skin feeling overly dry I can use lots and not feel guilty about it.

Updated Shower Duo


This is my new shower combo. It consists firstly of Anatomicals Don't Just Clean It Woman, Scrub It body scrub. This wasn't technically purchased but was part of a Beauteco Beauty Box (see here). It is normally £3.60 which I find totally reasonable and I know it can be purchased from Asos.com (here). It smells fruity and I love it. It is full of beads which don't just disappear instantly and the gel consistency means the scrub part doesn't go straight down the plug hole. It really super cleans my skin making my body feel nice and smooth. It turns cream like after being rubbed in but doesn't lather up but that means I can see the bead particles to carry on scrubbing. When it's washed off it comes straight off so I don't have to worry about finding grit on myself after.

The second part is Soap & Glory I-Foam Ultra Creamy Body Wash at. This smells amazing just like 99% of the brand dose. I believe I've had this so long its been renamed as Foam Call which is £6.50 for 500 ml. I'm glad I've made use of it. I like to lather it up on a shower puff to make it really bubbly and this spreads it really well. I love to use this when I shave as it feels really moisturising. I have many Soap & Glory products and have heard they are doing a brand relaunch to give it a modern more high end feel . From what I've seen I like what they've done , it also included improvements on existing products and launching of new ones which should be happening around September.
