look out down below: new fabulous foaming body wash!

A couple of days ago, we introduced you to our new soapy suds—and now, it’s time for the next big ‘splash’. Listen up, fabulous foaming face wash fans: your ‘washes’ have come true with fabulous foaming body wash, a new ‘just for body’ version of your favorite cleanser!BLISS-329

In case you’re not already a ‘dew’-votee of our famous fabulous foaming face wash, let me give you a refresher: it’s a 2-in-1 cleansing and exfoliating face wash for all skin types that forms a fresh, fruity foam. It’s got quite a fervent following, especially since it’s one of the Bliss sinkside amenities offered to lucky w hotel guests.

Given its popularity, it was only natural that its fans would start begging us to come out with a body wash version. And because our customers are so fabulous themselves, we listened—and we’re proud to introduce new fabulous foaming body wash!

This ‘below-the-neck’ formula lets you cleanse and exfoliate in one step, just like the face wash. It’s paraben free, and it’s got a fresh, clean, unisex scent (ladies, expect your man to mooch some).

One more note: although it may look, feel and smell just like the face wash, it’s been specifically formulated for the area from shoulder to shin. So don’t think you can cheat and just start slathering the face formula all over your elbows (although we don’t doubt it’s been attempted at some point).

We’ve really gone bananas with all these new body washes, haven’t we? In fact, we bet your shower hasn’t seen this much excitement since… well, I’ll leave that for you to figure out.

Happy lathering!

Miss Bliss

new shower gels: what are you most ‘pumped’ about?

Tell me: who doesn’t appreciate the simple, sudsy pleasure of a good body wash? It makes showering so much less mundane—who cares that it ends up going down the drain?

If you’re a body wash buff, we’ve got some news that’ll work you up into a ‘lather’: we’re launching three all new shower gels: lemon+sage, vanilla+bergamot and blood orange+white pepper soapy suds.

“But…but…don’t you already have shower gels in those scents?” you may ask. And you’d be right (we’re so glad you’re paying attention). But we couldn’t leave ‘gel’ enough alone, so we did some serious ‘foam’ renovations to our existing formulas, and are now re-launching them as our all-new soapy suds.

So what have we done to your beloved bubbles? First, we made them almost twice the size—they’ve gone from 8.5 oz to a whopping 16 oz each. Next, we slashed the price from $24 to $18. You’re probably thinking: “WHA? A bigger bottle for less money? Does not compute.” Well, we decided to break the rules, just because we love you.

And we’ve topped it all off with two other improvements: a pump dispenser to replace the cap top (goodbye squeezing, hello squirting), and a new, paraben-free formula.

We’re totally thrilled about all the updates, but we want to know what you’re most excited about. So go on, tell us:

Stay tuned – later this week, we’ll be telling you all about our new fabulous foaming body wash (yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like).

Best ‘washes’,

‘gorilla’ marketing is about to hit NYC!

I’m not going to beat around the ‘bush’: being overly hairy during skimpy season is NOT pretty. So here at Bliss, home of painless-as-possible waxing and highly acclaimed hair removal products, we’ve decided to launch a full-on protest against unwanted fuzz. And who better to deliver the message that hairy is scary than a team of bikini-wearing gorillas?

That’s right: next Wednesday and Thursday (8/5 and 8/6), we’re letting a team of gorillas loose on the streets of Manhattan. (Well, they’ll actually be people in gorilla suits—we don’t want to be responsible for any attacks on banana-selling street vendors.) Hitting spots like Sephora in Times Square and Crunch gym on Lafayette Street, the bikini-clad beasts will be protesting against fur—not in the overzealous-red-paint-throwing-animal-activist way, but in the no-one-needs-to-see-the-overgrown-jungle-sticking-out-from-your-bikini-bottom way.

They’ll also be handing out special offers for 20% off signature brazilian bikini waxes at our spas, and 20% off fuzz-fighting and body-toning bestsellers in-spa and online. So if you’re in NYC, keep an eye out for our ‘gorilla’ marketing team and don’t miss the chance to de-fuzz ‘fur’ less. And stay tuned for a video documenting all the monkey business. (Yeah, I said it.)

poll: what’s the best body butter scent?

Like the iPod to Apple, the Big Mac to McDonald’s or the Beetle to Volkswagen, Body Butter is the one thing that comes to most people’s minds when you mention Bliss. Launched a decade ago in the iconic lemon+sage scent, it’s been a top-seller ever since (and taken about a billion shins from lizard-like to luscious).

The rich, skin-softening formula inspires serious ‘dew’-votion among Bliss fans—sometimes to a scary degree. Once, a friend who forgot to re-order was reduced to such moisturization withdrawal, I found her on her bathroom floor trying to cut into the tube with an X-Acto knife just to salvage the last few smears. (Do NOT try that at home. Luckily, I brought her back from the brink of ‘skin’-sanity with a travel-sized tube I happened to have in my bag.) The point I’m trying to make is: people are crazy about the stuff.

So in honor of our famous formula’s 10th birthday, we’d like to ask you:

How to treat cellulite

bliss-323
What Causes Cellulite?
In the past decade, there has been extensive research to clarify the possible causes of cellulite, and many agree on the following points:
-fat cells swell due to fat storage
-capillary walls become excessively permeable causing localized accumulation of fluid
-inadequate lymphatic drainage slows the removal of excess fluid
-fat cells cluster and are bound by collagen fibers
-connective tissue strands stiffen, pulling down on their anchor points
-the changes in blood flow, lymphatic drainage, fat, and connective tissue result in cellulite-a bumpy or dimpled appearance on the skin

How to treat cellulite
Unfortunately, there is no cure for cellulite, but you can take measures to improve its (and your) appearance.

Prep/Cleanse
Our newest addition to the fatgirl-family is fatgirlscrub, a skin-smoothing, circulation-stimuating body exfoliator for less-than-perfect parts. Formulated with:
Himalayan pink salt that exfoliates for a smoother skin surface and helps re-mineralize skin, balance skin moisture levels, improve circulation to improve skin repair vitality, enhance penetration of cellulite treatments and detoxify skin surface.

Red Algae: clinically demonstrated to increase circulation to enhance skin repair functions and help diminish the appearance of excess fluid retention

Grapefruit Extract: provides antioxdant protection and refreshes the skin

Peppermint Extract: refreshes,invigorates and cools skin surface

Treat
We make the best cellulite creams! Our cellulite creams target the main causes of cellultie. FatGirlSlim targets cellulite with encapsulated caffeine to diminish the water retention that makes cellulite look even worse and fatgirlsleep tagets cellulite with lavender and sacred lotus flower extract which helps you snooze while you lose!

Camouflage
Everything looks better with a tan, but harmful UV rays? I don’t think so! My best cellulite secret – self tanner!! Spray the ultra-fine mist of my favorite self tanner, A Tan For All Seasons (not smelly, not streaky, not orange, dries fast – amazing – yes, I just sang that last word!) from waist to ankles for a toasty bronze, yet natural, goddess glow. Watch all those flaws that reveal themselves on doughy fluorescent winter white skin blur and disappear with a touch of tan!

Bliss Kisses!
