ANATOMICALS! THEIR LIP BALMS "SNOG ME SENSELESS" AND I'M LAUGHING "STOP CRACKING UP"

Mon, 09/14/2009 - 3:52pm

Meg here! I am a HUGE believer in doing things with humor and flair! Life is just too short to be vanilla and a wallflower. Sometimes I get laughing on sales calls so hard that MissRo and Eleni think I've lost my mind. Sure, it may not be the most "standard" and "traditional" way to do business but when your product is really good and can stand on its own-it doesn't really hurt to inject a little fun into the mix.

In business sometimes it actually helps to be a "little different" when you get pitched the same dog and pony show over and over again-making someone laugh will help you stand out and get that call or email returned. As consumers in the beauty industry, we are always being pitched the most straight laced and sleek packaging. We have run across a few companies that manage to crack us up. No one in the industry has been more clever with their products names or tag lines then one of my most favorite brands Anatomicals.

Anatomicals products work extremely well! We went nutso crazy for their No Bags Allowed cooling eye gel and We Scream For Eye Cream! My allergies have been acting up and the eye gel has been an absolute savior in reducing my puffy eyes!

The point I really want to stress is that these products WORK! There is absolutely nothing gimmicky about these items. They are quality products that really deliver. The fact they make me laugh only make me love them them more!

Anatomical Lip Balms are called "Snog Me Senseless" and "Stop Cracking Up." Their hysterical product descriptions and website is worth the clicks. Trust Me. You ladies across the pond are always lamenting that it's a bummer that you can't easily get American cosmetics. You can get Anatomicals easily and believe me that's something we're jealous about! I mean that and Selfridges, oh and I have a thing for Ricky Gervais-so that too. AbFab's not half bad either sweetie!

I give the Anatomicals "Snog Me Senseless" huge marks for the tingly sensation that gave a jump-start to my pucker. When I had seen too much sun, the moisture of "Stop Cracking UP" delivered all of the soothing properties I was looking for!

So cheerio mate! This line is bloody fabulous and I have been so impressed with everything I've gotten a chance to try.

How about you ladies? Who else has fallen for both Anatomicals cheekiness and fantastic products?

I'm definitely jealous of you ladies who have easy access to these products, they all seem so fun and awesome! I've seen an item or two here and there at TJ Maxx but that's about it. See, you guys have some benefits too :)

I've seen them at TJ Maxx too! I need to stop in again for a look-over. They've got all sorts of products I wouldn't normally hear about, except on Meg's, of course ;)

I love cheekiness in products! I don't know if its because I am Australian but the more sass and laid back a product is (I am sick of wash hair by using a 50c piece size...boring!) the more inclined I am to use it!They are making a statement with their marketing - more people are going to remember it by being funny!Love anatomicals :)

I have been able to get my Anatomicals fix from Meg and TJ MAXX. I love this company! It has genius marketing with high quality products that really work! Love the Brits!! I am wanting to get my dirty American hands on Snog Me Senseless. But in lieu of that I have been able to enjoy Stop Cracking Up courtesy of Meg! I must say that it really provides a ton of moisture. It successfully combats dryness and flakiness. It has pretty decent staying power. I didn't feel as if I had to reapply it every 30 seconds. And it does all of this without being sticky at all! You will only have smooth sailing with Stop Cracking Up!! I highly recommend this balm and any product from this clever company!!

A tingly, minty lip product--I'm there! I didn't know that you could find these at TJ Maxx. I checked out the site, and they're products sound really interesting. I'm adding them to my "list". :)

OMG! I got "Stop Cracking me UP" from Meg, and it is the best lip balm ever! It's almost like a gloss, the shine is so perfect, but it really heals chapped lips! Mine are usually in pretty good shape due to my obsessive glossing habit, but this weekend, I had a lot going on with a leaking ceiling in 5 places, and trying to keep my apartment from smelling like a swamp, and I guess I didn't drink enough water or use enough balm, because I woke up with dry, chapped lips that had actually cracked at the corners. gross! One application of this fixed that right away, and this post reminded me that I have it on my "to do" list to go to their website and order some more!

I love their packaging, but it seems like such a hassle for just lip balm, and it's pretty expensive for one lip product. It may be worth it, but it just seems like a lot of trouble for me lol..

I have been using the snog me sensless for several months and it is one of my face glosses ever! There are about 473847 different pictures on my bff's facebook of me putting this gloss on lol! i like the tingly mintiness, and plus I love how it is not really sticky but also not too watery or oily. It applies nice and thinly and smells yummy too!

on the one hand, i like products with tingling b/c they give my lips a fuller look but on the other hand, that minty feel can be a little too much.

I carry lip balm and hand cream with me constantly and keep switching because I can't find the be all and end all to either. I am going to TJ Maxx to see if they have any of these products there and if not I am going to order the "Stop Cracking me up" to try it.

I was lucky enough to get the 'Stop cracking up' lip balm from Meg and I absolutely love it!! It is one of the best lip balms I have ever tried and would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone. I'm dying to try some more of their products, not sure if they'd ship here though..

Thank you SO MUCH meg for sending me "stop cracking me up" lip balm! It works so well, and it smells really good too. I was just on their website the other day, and meg's right, every product has a really witty name and cute description. :)Just wanted to say thanks. And anatomicals products really do work!

"You ladies across the pond are always lamenting that it's a bummer that you can't easily get American cosmetics."I know you're looking straight at me with the comment Meg!! :0 I don't mean to complain, I'm sorry - I always seem to bring down the mood when I remind everyone I'm living on the moon [I practically am, for all intent and purpose!].£10 for delivery [and free for orders over £60] is awesome! Thanks for letting us know we can get these products here, Meg! They look like a riot - also good to know they work! :D

I saw a review on this brand before,It looks so fun!and from what I hear very good quality!Which is suprising, usually when I see brands like this, flashy, fun, silly.I dont give them a passing glance because I usually associate them with poor quality.thanks for bringing this up!

Some comedy with products can be refreshing. I plan to get some of the chicken poop lip balm as gifts. My job involves working with chickens and the humor is just perfect.

Absolutely love the names of their products! They clearly have found a great and different way to market their stuff. Not everyone will love it, but those who do will certainly remember them and probably try their products at some point. I haven't had the pleasure to test any of their products yet, but the eye gel in particular looks very tempting!

I've been wanting a bunch of Anatonmical's products for a while now, and every now and then go back to the site and make up a hypothetical cart. I really like the look of the Snog Me Senseless, Stop Cracking Up, and What a Complete and Utter Glosser glosses, and Young Free and Tingle shampoo. I love the names and product descriptions, those alone make me remember the brand even without having tried the products. I didn't know they had them at TJMaxx though, I'll have to check next time I'm there!And ps. I have a thing for Ricky Gervais. Extras was one of my all time favorite shows ever!

Just like anything at TJ Maxx sometimes the products are there and sometimes they are not. You just have to check back whenever you are near a store and dig around to find them. But I have purchased this line at least 3 different times at the store.

I have never heard of or seen this brand before. Does anyone know if it is available in Canada? Seems like something worth trying but I don't like having to rely on the internet for ordering too many things. I already get my foundation and cleanser online. I am a total sucker for cute product names and would try these just because of them. Glad to hear they actually work and are good products. Where are they available in the states? Maybe I can convince the bf to go look for me when he is home over winter break!

I bought a shower gel from there (http://www.anatomicals.net/store2/). It actually smells really good, and I really like their slogans (it kind of reminds me of vitamin water). "We only want you for your body!"

Jealous. Definitely. But be proud of it(: HA. Do they sell this line at Sephora by any chance? Because the girl up there was talking about a showere gel she bought and that is something i've been looking into buying, but one that's actually full of scent. :D
