Punk Rock Inspired bath Smellies-hell yeah |
In the past Ive really struggled to find cool looking men's toiletries so instantly fell in love with their "Pretty Vacant" punk inspired unisex range (anything aimed at "Non conformist boys and girls gets my vote) the company also offer pampering products featuring Space Invaders, Pop Art and comic book characters so ticked lots of my boxes.

Cool Themes and kind to animals |
Apart from the rather inspired themes I was also impressed that all the ingredients in their products are organic, not tested on animals and use no parabens, SLS or SLES so perfect for the environmentally conscious animal lover.

Stocking fillers for every child of the eighties |
I got chatting to the company on twitter and they kindly sent me a couple of items to review which were their Popcorn Bubble bath (£4.99 for 200ml)and Vintage inspired hand cream (£6.00 for 100gm)

The fairly basic packaging may divide opinion but the products inside are fab. |
The packaging when the items arrived was very simple. Aluminium pump bottles and old fashioned style tins with hand applied labels all of which had a lovely home made feel to it. This may be a bit of a marmite style choice as if your bathroom counter is full of Jo Malone bath oil it may not be sophisticated enough but I really liked it.

Hand cream in an old fashioned style tin. |
The bath foam made good bubbles and Mr Bee really liked both of them, putting them on a par with his favourite Crabtree and Evelyn Nomad products which is high praise indeed.They did leave his skin very soft (I had a feel for test purposes only of course)

The Popcorn Foam bath-good enough to eat |
The Popcorn bubble bath I was sent claims to have a "sweet and savoury 1950's inspired smell" to me it just smelt of delicious popcorn and I couldn't get enough of it. The bubble bath left my skin as soft as a kittens paw and I will definitely be repurchasing this, its heaven.

It claims to have a "sweet and savoury" smell but was just delicious |

Very nourishing hand cream-I would have liked a stronger scent |
Saying that Mr Bee really liked this exactly because it wasn't strongly scented so this may be a good choice for chaps. I mentioned this to the guys at the Retro and Vintage Cosmetic company and apparently their body balms and butters are beautifully scented so I will go for those next time.
I'm so glad to have found a British company making such fab organic products featuring such quirky packaging. i would definitely recommend you visit their website or facebook page for a mooch or to pick up some stocking fillers for the dreaded c word.
