Anatomicals // Scrub Tropicana Coconut Body Scrub Review

Anatomicals // Scrub Tropicana Coconut Body Scrub
RRP £1.50 for 50ml

This is a full size 50ml tube that I received in the August 2019 Birchbox. I believe this was an exclusive, made for Birchbox, product for that month.

First Impressions:

Smells absolutely fantastic. It's slightly heady and oriental with a super sweetness coming through. it doesn't smell at all like coconuts to me though. The granules are very large and I don't feel it does a good job of exfoliating properly to me but I do like how it smells.

Usage
First use - August 2019
Last use - June 2020

Would I buy it: Yes; if you could.

Overall Impressions:

Unfortunately this is no longer sold or made. Anatomicals is such a weird brand; it's like the Ikea of skincare. Some products are super cheap and feel it; others are super cheap and feel great. This is the latter.

I don't think this is the best exoliator in the world but I did enjoy using it; that is when I remembered to use it. Body scrubs are just tone of those products that I always forget about. It was only in the past couple of months now that tan season is upon us that I've truly been feeling the need to exfoliate. I wish they made a shower gel in this scent as it's the best thing about the product.

Manna Kadar // Champagne Charcoal Scrub Review

Manna Kadar // Champagne Charcoal Scrub
RRP $24 for 520g

This is a full size 520g tub that I received in the FabFitFun Spring 2019 box.

First Impressions:

It smells kinda nice...I guess. It has an artificial sweetness to it that gets on my nerves after a while. The granules are very fine and it feels like I'm scrubbing my body with caster sugar. It did leave a mess in the shower though.

Usage
First use - June 2019
Last use - December 2019

Would I buy it: No.

Overall Impressions:

This took me a long time to get through and eventually I just stopped using it. There's about two more uses left but I just couldn't be bothered with it anymore. I'm surprised I managed to make my way through it. I suppose if I used fake tan more often I'd be using body scrubs but they're just one of those products that I think are useless. I'd expect a body scrub when I go to a spa. Maybe if it had a better scent then I'd enjoy it more but saying that, I rarely use my Sol De Janiero brazilian body buff and I think the SDJ bum bum smell is the best scent ever created; so maybe I wouldn't.
