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:

Take our quiz to see what you’ll love most about best of skintentions!

Traveling
The Jetsetter – You are a Bliss Girl who racks up enough frequent flier miles to vacation in Bora Bora at least once a year, and an expert packer who winks at the TSA employees as you effortlessly glide through airport security. You’ll love Best of Skintentions because instead of packing a separate moisturizer, sun protection and skin illuminator, you can just stash one travel-friendly tube in your carry-on. No matter where your passport takes you, your face will be protected with this mega moisturizer.

Bargain-Hunting
The Recessionista - You are a Bliss Girl who loves a deal. You set your alarm clock for the Barney’s sample sale because you go ga-ga for Gucci but paying full price for anything makes your checkbook groan. You’ll love Best of Skintentions because for only $35, you get serious UVA/UVB protection, a daily dose of antioxidant vitamins, minerals and omegas to keep skin looking healthy, plus phytonutrients from tonka beans for a luminous finish. Talk about a good ‘skin’-vestment!

Web Surfing
The Techie - You are a Bliss Girl who lives for updating her Twitter status, recording your own YouTube videos, and ‘fanning’ your favorite brands on Facebook—not to mention all that time you spend glued to the keyboard at the office. You’ll love Best of Skintentions because it offers protection from the UVA radiation that’s emitted from computer screens and fluorescent lights, which causes signs of aging. Plus, it meets the standards of Japan’s stringent PA++ rating system for UVA protection (to help you say “sayonara” to wrinkles).

Being Outside
The Nature Lover - You are a Bliss Girl who loves being outside, whether it’s slaloming down ski slopes, splashing in the swimming pool, or hiking the trails. You spend a lot of time absorbing the sun, but you don’t want your face to show it! You’ll love Best of Skintentions because it not only shields against burn-causing UVB rays, but is also one of the only moisturizers with a PA++ rating which indicates that it’s clinically proven to protect against age-inducing UVA rays.

Bliss Kisses!

We want to know!

Welcome to Bliss Beauty Blog!

The ‘blissing’ link

“Why another beauty blog?” you ask. There are plenty of beauty blogs, but no ‘spa-thority’ voice on the internet. Bliss is a spa and skincare company. We use our products in our treatments, so we know they work because we use them on hundreds of lovelies like you every day. When you buy a Bliss product you’re bringing home a piece of our spa (sans the expert technician).

‘Bliss’ and Tell

We believe that secrets don’t make friends. We want to ‘bliss’ and tell so you can look ‘spa’-velous everyday from the inside out.

What to expect when the ‘spa-thorities’ get on the soapbox

We’d love to update this blog daily Mon-Fri. If we go ‘bliss’-ing in action, don’t be alarmed-we’re just working on updating our expert ‘spa’-mmentary so you get the full beauty brief. Without further ado, I would love to tell you a little about myself…..

Meet the Author

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Karen Glidden and I’m the web content coordinator for Bliss. I will be the primary author of Bliss n Tell. For all your beautification needs, please refer to blissworld.com

My background is not beauty related at all. I graduated from Boston University and worked at Starbucks for many years climbing their corporate ladder. Pre-Bliss, my idea of a milky cleanser was the residue left on my face after making cappuccinos all day. I’ve been with Bliss for just over a year now and have been converted into a product worshipper. I’m the MacGyver of skincare. I love inventing new uses to beauty products. You’ll find me putting toner on my legs to help with dry skin, wearing my glamour gloves on the subway to smooth my hands, and using skincare in my hair to tame flyaways. Oh, did I mention that I’m totally frugal. Yes, this little Bliss girl is a ‘recessionista’ for sure.

My skin type is normal. I’m not particularly breakout prone unless it’s stress related or hormonal. I’m not too oily, but sometimes dry all over depending on the weather. I’ve got an even skin tone and not too many fine lines, wrinkles, or hyperpigmentation. I have some sun damage from years of sun-worshipping sans SPF, my greatest skincare regret in life. My biggest skin concern are fine lines/wrinkles around my eyes and laugh lines around my mouth. Oh, and some uh….cellulite on my bum/thighs. Yes, I am human (you can stop pointing and laughing now, thanks!).

My Favorite Bliss Product: I can’t choose just one. It’s a tie between Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask and A Tan For All Seasons

Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask is my five minute beauty fix for just about everything (breakouts, dull/tired skin, dryness). A Tan For All Seasons is my best friend. It’s a stink-free tan in a can. I cannot live without a sun-kissed glow all year (without the UV damage, of course!)
