Advantages: Quirky and very fruity

Disadvantages: scent doesn't last long

Ok it's back to my usual and comforting body wash reviews! Seeing I have been away for 2 weeks it gave me an excuse to go mad and buy lots of new toiletries! (Well if you had been stuck on an island with my other half and our 2 boys you would find toiletries exciting as well!). Since doing these reviews I have some very good and also some very bad body washes but I wanted to try something completely different, I have never tried this range before but decided to give it a go as it seemed to have a bit of a sense of humour. So did it tickle my fancy?

A BIT ABOUT THE COMPANY

This is taken from the website:

We don't give a jot if your I.Q is 15 or 150, because we only want you for your body. At Anatomicals we manufacture the planets funkiest toiletries and so far people seem to like them. Exactly like oxygen, water, gravity and chocolate fudge cake, you'll soon wonder how you managed to survive without us!

PRODUCT STATEMENT

Before another bloody boring day at work or another pricey night out on the town, use this refreshing gel. Lather up and notice your belly button is a bloody odd shape and that your gym sessions should be yielding better bloody results. Finally see the time and think you better bloody get moving!

Found in homes, hotels, and eerily deserted motels (Mr Bates we noticed you haven't re-ordered for a while!) this gel will have you screaming for a shower. Wash your torso, legs, arms, neck, buttocks ..., but whatever sex you are never forget your Hitchcock!

PACKAGING

The gel comes in a 250ml bottle, the lid and label is a deep red with the actual bottle being clear plastic so you can see the blood coloured shower gel through the bottle. The lid is one of those push one side and the opening pops up. Just a little tip when you first go to use it you have to take the small security circular bit of card inside the lid, this isn't actually that easy and took me a while to get it out! There is also a nice picture on the side of the label of a woman having a shower with someone in the shadows with a bottle of this shower gel!

USING

Now I actually bought this from Sainsbury's with my on-line shopping so I didn't get to have a good sniff of it before I bought it. After finally managing to get that stupid little security seal off I finally got to have a good sniff and found it smelt very fruity! I was actually really surprised I suppose I didn't think that a shower gel that was pretending to be blood could smell that fruity! It actually reminds me of a stick of juicy fruit chewing gum!

I always use a body puff thingy to wash with and I would really advise to use one with this gel because when you squeeze it out the gel really does look like the blood you see in films! It looks very dark and sticky as you spread over the skin it looks like a very deep purple in colour. The gel does spread very well and you don't need to use loads at a time, you also get lots of fruity smelling lather for a great all over wash, I must admit the fruity smell can get a bit sickly after a while.

Rinsing off is easy if you use a body puff, I have tried to use this gel without the puff and have found it harder to remove and also it really doesn't lather as well. Also I found it a bit strange that the fruity scent really doesn't seem to linger much on the skin, I really couldn't smell it much at all after drying my skin. This product doesn't claim to soften skin and for once I am glad to report that the product sticks to this and it doesn't! I can say that it also doesn't dry my skin out which is also quite a plus.

This product didn't dry out my skin or cause me any allergic reaction, which is a good thing for me as I can be a very sensitive little flower!

WOULD I USE AGAIN?

Erm this is a bit of a tough one, I did like this one but to be honest apart for the novelty factor it did wear off after a while. I would of liked the scent to last a bit longer, I will try some of the others in the range because I like the fact they are different. It didn't completely tickle my fancy but it did give me a chuckle especially when I poured some on my leg and my 9 year old walked in the bathroom (they don't believe in knocking!) he went running to his dad telling him I had cut my leg open! And his dad being the caring soul ran to my aid (yeah right!)
