super savings at bliss south beach for miami spa month!

blissbeautyblog — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:16:32 +0000

As if getting beautified at Bliss South Beach isn’t already fabulous enough, we’ve got news that’ll make it even more ‘aah’-mazing: our SoBe spa is participating in Miami Spa Month, which means that from now until August 31, you can book special combo spa packages for just $99!

No, that is not a typo. (And personally, I’m offended that you think I’d even make one.) You really can soak up multiple spa treatments at Bliss South Beach for less than 100 smackers, for an entire month. Regular spa-goers will revel in the savings, and newbies can use it as the perfect opportunity to bask in Bliss for the first time!

If you haven’t already jumped up to book an appointment (877-862-5477—sorry, no online booking for these babies), here’s the skinny on the three featured packages:

triple oxygen treatment and brow wax
Experience our classic (and most clamored for) complexion-reviving facial, followed by an arch shaping that’s like an instant eye lift.

blissage75 and hot shell add-on
Loosen up with our muscle-melting massage, made even more indulgent with the addition of warmed seashells to nix knotted spots.

beauty and the beach
Make beach time more ‘bare’-able with a painless-as-possible Brazilian Bikini Wax, a signature Hot Cream Manicure and an Express Pedicure.

Full disclosure: these packages aren’t offered on Saturdays, and tax and gratuity aren’t included. But considering you can save almost 50%, it’s still a ‘muy bien’ deal.

So get to it, all you facial-loving Floridians, and don’t miss out on this rare ‘spa’-pportunity to de-stress for less.

With ‘rub’,

Miss Bliss

blissbeautyblog — Fri, 28 May 2010 18:21:47 +0000

Hallelujah! It’s Memorial Day weekend, the official start to summer (even though it already feels like we’re in the thick of it with the steamy weather we’ve been having). We know you’ve all got big plans for your 3.5 days of freedom, whether you’re braving the beach traffic, hitting up a few BBQs, or just doing absolutely nothing (something we wholeheartedly endorse).

However, we’d like to suggest adding one more activity to your weekend: snagging a free summer kick-off kit packed with $103 worth of Bliss goodies! For the rest of the holiday weekend (that’s right, we just extended the expiration date), you’ll get this gift bag free with any blissworld.com order of $75 or more (and with all the amazing summer beauty stuff we’ve got, we don’t think it will be very hard for your order to qualify).

here’s what you get in your gift bag:

• A full-sized tube of problem salved, to soothe everything from sunburn to mosquito bites.
• A deluxe sample of clog-dissolving cleansing milk, the perfect wash to switch to during summer’s pore-plugging weather.
• A full-sized tube of get out of hair, to delay hair re-growth between shaves and waxes (see ya, stubble!)
• A deluxe sample of lid+lash wash, to soothe those peepers and gently remove eye makeup – even the waterproof kind.
• A deluxe sample of daily detoxifying facial toner, a hydrating, water-based toner that is SO seriously refreshing after a hot day.
• A deluxe sample of the youth as we know it concentrate, which is not only a skin-luminizing anti-aging treatment, but also doubles as a lightweight moisturizer during warm weather when you don’t want something too rich.
• A deluxe sample of triple oxygen instant energizing mask, to brighten your skin in five minutes and sport that coveted summer glow.

That’s a tempting list of goodies, am I right? And we know you’re in the mood to relax, but you’ve got to act fast, because this offer is only around until Tuesday, June 1. So start shopping, place your order and enter code SUMMER in your shopping bag, then kick back and wait for your ‘glam’-packed gift bag to arrive.

Happy summer, everyone!

still a bikini wax virgin? let us be your first and save 20%!

blissbeautyblog — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 18:47:39 +0000

We get it: a bikini wax is not something you enter into lightly. It’s a very personal affair, and you wouldn’t just let anyone go ‘down there’. But if you’ve been saving yourself, now’s the perfect time to ‘give it up’—and we want you to come to Bliss for your first time. (We promise, you won’t regret it.)

Why should you allow yourself to be ‘de-fuzzed’ at one of our spas? Well, for starters, you’ll save 20% on your first Bikini Wax (Basic, Betweeny™ or Brazilian) for the entire month of April. (No cheating, waxing veterans—we’re checking records to make sure only first-timers get the discount!)

Plus, we swear we’ll be gentle with you. Our stripless wax is renowned in hair removal circles for being as painless as possible. Plus, we won’t try anything ‘dirty’ (ahem), because we’re practically OCD about hygiene during our services. And if you’re just nervous about having a stranger around your lady parts, don’t worry: our waxing techs have seen it all. They’ll make you feel totally comfortable, and to them, it’s just another day on the job. (Plus, you’ll get a pair of disposable undies. They’re not exactly full-coverage, but they do the trick.) Still want more depilatory deets? Check out our waxing FAQs.

And if all that isn’t enough to convince you to ‘go all the way’, consider the fact that bikini season is inching closer every day. Do it for the good of your fellow beach-goers—no one wants to get an eyeful of errant fuzz, and you certainly don’t want to be sporting it.

If we simply can’t talk you into taking it off in-spa, you also have the option of using our new and improved poetic waxing at-home hair removal kit, now with a microwaveable cup. It’s great for DIY touch-ups, but if you’re considering going fully bare down there, take it from us: leave that to the professionals, or you’ll be mad at yourself in the morning.

So book your first bikini wax and save a few bucks. Hey, think of it this way: you never forget your first, so why not do it with someone you can totally trust?

Happy waxing!

NYC, Hoboken + DC: brave the snow and get 25% off spa treatments!

blissbeautyblog — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:40:45 +0000

If you live in New York, New Jersey or DC, you know that right now, it is nasty out there. The conditions are so blizzard-like that even the prospect of donning your cutest pair of snow boots can barely give it a silver lining.

In fact, the weather is so bad, that our spas have been getting appointment cancellations left and right. (These people call themselves beauty devotees and they wont’ even brave a blizzard for a brow wax? Hmph!)

So, to try and fill in the scheduling holes left by these less-intrepid spa-goers, we’re offering 25% off any facial, massage or body treatment at spas in these three snow-covered cities—TODAY ONLY.

If you’re the type who scoffs at storms and could use some in-spa sprucing, book now (or call 877 TO BLISS). It’s not every day you’ll get a deal like this, so don your warmest gear and boldly ‘glow’ where our less-gutsy glam-lovers feared to tread!

And hey—be careful out there.

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

blissbeautyblog — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 19:04:25 +0000

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!

“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.

do you believe in the ‘youth’ fairy?

blissbeautyblog — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:51:39 +0000

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.)

Miss Bliss

*We’re sorry, but the ‘youth’ fairy won’t be visiting Bliss Ft. Lauderdale and Bliss Atlanta – Downtown.

hey, atlanta and dallas: honk if you like spa freebies!

blissbeautyblog — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:51:58 +0000

Last month, I told you about the drive-thru spa promotion at our Scottsdale location. Well, I’ve got some news I think you’re going to be pretty ‘revved up’ about: it was such a hit that we’re doing it at our Atlanta and Dallas spas too!

Here’s the deal: every day this week (through Friday, 8/28), you can drive up to the spas, lightly honk the horn, and our spa squad will run out to your car with a bag of Bliss to go. Your swag will include bottled water, the same brownies served in-spa, free product samples and treatment offers. How ‘beeping’ fantastic is that? (And you don’t even have to leave the air-conditioned confines of your car—sweet!)

Here are the details for each location:

Atlanta
Bliss Spa at W – Atlanta Midtown
188 14th Street NE
Drive up to the hotel entrance on 14th Street
10am-1pm and 5pm-8pm daily

Dallas

So spa-goers, start your engines and get ready to go from point A to point Bliss!

‘gorilla’ marketing is in full swing!

blissbeautyblog — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 17:13:35 +0000

As you may already know if you’ve been am-‘bush’-ed by them, our fuzz-protesting ‘gorilla’ marketing team took over the streets of New York City all day yesterday. They hit our Soho spa, Crunch Gym, and even attacked HQ (one poor staffer was unlucky enough to be biting into a freshly peeled banana when they arrived…)

The fun continues today, as the team stormed Sephora in Times Square this morning, and plans to picket their way through Union Square this afternoon. But it hasn’t just been about watching passersby do eye-popping double takes at the sight of bikini-clad gorillas (although that has been fun)—it’s been about protesting unwanted body hair, and handing out offer cards for 20% off signature brazilian bikini waxes at our spas, and 20% off fuzz-fighting and body-toning bestsellers in-spa and online. (If you didn’t run into the team or aren’t in the NYC area, you can still take advantage of the savings here.)

Below is a snapshot of the team during yesterday’s adventures in the ‘concrete jungle’—but that’s just a taste of what’s to come. Stay tuned for a video documenting all the monkey business, soon to hit the web!

the 'gorilla' marketing street team!

‘gorilla’ marketing starts tomorrow, plus a hairy poll

blissbeautyblog — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 14:50:55 +0000

Greetings! I’m here to give you all a reminder that our gorillas are gearing up for their anti-hair protest march down the Manhattan streets, which starts tomorrow, 8/5 and continues Thursday, 8/6. The press is already going ‘wild’ with anticipation, and so are we. (Seriously, someone has been playing King Kong on a loop in our cafeteria since yesterday.)

So don’t forget to keep an eye out for our simian street team at spots like Sephora in Times Square (42nd and 7th), Crunch gym on Lafayette Street, and every subway, park and naked cowboy in between. Sure, your initial reaction upon spotting a bikini-clad ape might be to bolt in the other direction—but when you know he’s 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, we recommend chasing down that monkey suit for your chance at a de-fuzzing discount.

In the spirit of our anti-fur campaign, I’d to ask you readers a hair-removal-related question, just for fun:

‘gorilla’ marketing is about to hit NYC!

blissbeautyblog — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 19:09:17 +0000

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.)
