staffer rave: laboratoire remède translucent uv coat (plus, get one free!)

We all have that one beauty product we’d buy vats of if we could (now, where some of us would store those vats in our tiny apartments is another story, but we don’t worry about details like that in fantasy world). In the case of our Spa Brand Manager Gillian, that product is laboratoire remède’s translucent uv coat.

Since she worships the featherweight SPF formula (I hear she has some sort of shrine to it in her bathroom, but that could just be a rumor), I asked her to elaborate on her love for it—and did she ever. Here’s what she had to say:

check out that spiffy new packaging!

check out that spiffy new packaging!

“I’ve been using translucent uv coat for seven years. I love it because I’m not a foundation wearer, but it gives me a little coverage and just really evens out the tone of my skin. I don’t end up too shiny or matte, and it doesn’t clash with bronzer or powder if I add those to the mix. What makes it so special is that it’s not a heavy moisturizer—you can get light coverage/color and UV protection and still use your favorite moisturizer underneath. I love that it has SPF 30 so I can use it over a non-SPF moisturizer without feeling guilty.

I turned my friend onto it who has amazing, smooth, fair skin, and I can tell when she has it on—her skin just looks like porcelain perfection. Maybe it’s the soft-focusing powders. Now, of course she’s addicted too.”

Gillian could go on about it all day (believe me when I tell you that was just a snippet of the praise she lavished on this product). And after reading that, I bet you’re just a little bit curious to try it yourself if you haven’t already. Well, lucky you—there’s a way for you to try it free with this special spa offer:

Get a free translucent UV coat with any Laboratoire Remède purchase and/or Alchemy Facial through October 15.* (Shade availability may vary by location.)**

Now go get yours and make Gillian proud!

‘Skin’-cerely,

Miss Bliss

*Sorry, but this offer isn’t available at Bliss Ft. Lauderdale, Washington D.C. or Atlanta – Downtown.
**You’ll receive the original UV Coat packaging and formula with this offer, but keep in mind for future purchases that Laboratoire Remède has recently made some changes: the UV Coat bottle has a fresh new look, and the shades are now slightly darker, so longtime wearers should test before buying if possible.

spa like a star

From the MTV VMAs to the Emmys, we’re on total awards show overload. (And we might lose it if we see one more headline about the Kanye debacle.)

The one thing these star-studded events always remind us of is how fabulous the A-list looks, even in HD. Of course, they’ve got glam squads fussing over every stray hair or wayward bra strap, and mere mortals such as ourselves cannot be held to the same standards. Still, there are ways you can spoil yourself like a celeb—like a visit to one of our spas. (After all, just because you’re not prepping for a red carpet stroll doesn’t mean you don’t have an excuse to look full-on fabulous.) Check out some of the treatments awards show attendees have been known to indulge in before the big event:

the youth as we know it facial
Stars always manage to look at least five years less than their real age, and you can pull off the same time-shaving trick with this youth-inducing treatment. Its wrinkle-reversing effects extend all the way down to your décolleté, so it’s perfect before donning a plunging neckline.

the triple oxygen treatment
Hours of partying. Red-eye flights. Cocktails galore. And yet celebs still manage to look more fresh-faced than fatigued. One of their secrets? This complexion-reviving facial, which energizes and brightens sapped skin to leave it positively glowing.

the hangover herbie
You don’t attend a martini-laden after-party until 3am and wake up feeling or looking ready for a cover shoot. But we can help you make the most of the morning after with this face- and body-pampering combo, which livens up a post-soiree skin and soothes bash-battered muscles without any overly intense poking, prodding or pummeling.

Ready to give yourself the star treatment with one of these celeb-approved services? Call 877 TO BLISS or set up a spa stop online. (Just promise you’ll remember to thank us when you get to the podium.)

You’ll find deals on a ton of stuff, like Bliss body- and skincare favorites, Laboratoire Remède formulas, fitness footwear (yes, that includes FitFlops) and products from some of the best brands we carry—we’ve even thrown in a spa treatment discount for you facial fiends.

So between squeezing in your last summer barbecue or beach day this holiday weekend, make sure you find time to squeeze in some savings-filled shopping with our Labor Day event, which only lasts until Monday, 9/7. No matter how busy your weekend is, you really don’t want to miss out on this. (And besides, massive beauty bargains beat yet another burned-to-a-crisp hot dog any day.)

Happy saving!

do you believe in the ‘youth’ fairy?

When I was a kid, my brother and I wanted to know once and for all if the tooth fairy was real, so we devised a plan. The next time he lost a tooth, he’d put it under his pillow with a very fine string tied around it. The other end of the string would be tied to his finger, so when the tooth fairy pulled that chomper from under his pillow, he’d feel a tug, wake up, and be face to face with the pearly-white-loving sprite. When the big night came, we set it all up and were ready to go—but he chickened out at the last minute and ditched the string. Magically, he still woke up the next morning with some cash under his pillow.

Now that we’re older, most of us would still be excited to wake up a few dollars richer—but we’re willing to bet you’d be just as stoked to wake up looking a few years younger. All it takes is a visit from the ‘youth’ fairy. Starting today, she’ll give you a free travel-sized the youth as we know it moisture cream ($24 value) when you buy the full-sized cream (while supplies last). You can take advantage of her generosity online, or at one of our spas.*

Hey, if you’ve lost your ‘youth’, I think discovering more wrinkle-free skin beats discovering a few bucks under your pillow any day. (And I’ll vouch for the fact that the ‘youth’ fairy is real—no scary string trick necessary.)
