Review: Bliss Clog Dissolving Cleansing Milk

I love Bliss and their awesome products, as well as Soap & Glory, another brand founded by the same woman that founded Bliss. So I am always really excited to try out new Bliss products, but when I ordered the Bliss Clog Dissolving Cleansing Milk, I wasn't prepared for how similar it would be to Soap & Glory's Peaches and Clean Cleansing Milk. But these products really are quite similar (even the bottles look the same!), except when it comes to the scent. Peaches and Clean has a peachy scent, after all (hardly surprising, considering the name), while Bliss Clog Dissolving Cleansing Milk has a nice citrus/grapefruit scent.

I must say I prefer the scent of the Clog Dissolving Cleansing Milk, but I think that's mostly a matter of personal preference.

Another thing you should know is that you can actually leave the Clog Dissolving Cleansing Milk on for a bit longer, for like 5 minutes, if you want a more thorough cleansing of your skin. I don't think you can do that with Peaches and Clean, because I've tried it by accident once, and it really made my skin sting, but the Clog Dissolving Cleansing Milk doesn't do that, so you can use it as a faster version of a face mask from time to time as well, if you want.
(I must admit I don't do that though, if I want a face mask, I put an actual face mask on instead, so I am only using this cleansing milk when I am in a hurry)

I have oily/combination skin and this really helps clear my skin up. So I can definitely recommend it for anyone looking for clearer skin. I will get this cleansing milk again for sure, and maybe alternate between this and the Peaches and Clean one.

Review: Bliss FatGirl SixPack

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you know what a huge fan I am of Bliss beauty products (with one notable exception: their eye cream), so while the Bliss FatGirl SixPack cream sounded a bit too good to be true, I still wanted to try it, due to the excellent results I've had with the other Bliss FatGirl products.

But while the Bliss FatGirl SixPack, that comes with a special applicator is supposed to help you get a more toned tummy, because of 6 different active ingredients, I must say I haven't seen any notable changes. In fact, I think the Bliss Love Handler, which I have used previously (and just ordered another one of!) worked way, way better, and since the Love Handler is supposed to be used on your stomach as well, I must admit I don't really understand why Bliss needs two so similar products in their range.

I also found the applicator rather hard to use, it seemed like a real battle to get any of the cream out using it, so while I understand that it is good to apply creams like this while you massage the area you want to see changes in, I did not like the application method either. Also, unlike most Bliss beauty products that I have tried, the FatGirl SixPack does not have a very pleasant smell.

In fact, I would say the quality of this product is so different from the other Bliss beauty products that I have tried that it is hard to understand it's even the same product!

So I won't be buying this again, but I am still glad I tried it. It just goes to show you that not even your favorite brand does everything right!

More stuff on my wishlist right now

Like I've mentioned before, I still want to try some more Bliss products, even thought I have been trying quite a few of them lately. So a lot of the stuff on my current beauty wish list is Bliss stuff of course.

- Like the Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Mask.

Because who doesn't need a pick me up around the eyes from time to time?

- Their Pore-perfector gadget, which seems a bit similar to the Clarisonic.

Expensive, but should be worth it if it works!

- Their new Firm, Baby Firm serum.

I'm not a big fan of serums, but I think I want to get better accquainted with them, and what could work better than a serum from my favorite brand?

Review: Bliss The Love Handler

Okay, so it is time for the last Bliss review for a while. Don't get me wrong, I am still absolutely thrilled about Bliss and their beauty products, but I don't have any new products besides this one, and the ones I've already reviewed for now. But I definitely plan to get more at some point, so there will be some more Bliss reviews coming up in the future for sure!

The last product I will be reviewing for now is a liquid called The Love Handler, described by Bliss themselves as a workout for lazy abdominals. This lotion is supposed to reduce bloating in the stomach area, as well as make your skin in this area tighter and smoother, in order for your abdominals to look more toned. You can also use the lotion on any love handles on your back and waist if you have them.

I personally love the smell of The Love Handler, it is a strong minty smell, but if you are not into minty smells, The Love Handler might not be for you.

After applying the lotion, you will also feel a tingling sensation (as well as a nice, cooling sensation, which I loved, since I tried this product out during the summer), which I find kind of nice, but I do realize some may be bothered by this as well, since this is something you might not experience with other similar lotions.

I do believe this tightened my skin, after having used it for a month or so, but one should of course be aware of the fact that this is by no means a miracle product that gives you a six pack without you working out. If you are working out and want faster results, it should help you along the way, however.

So if you are in okay shape, and wish you had tighter, more toned contours around the belly, this is definitely worth a try. Unlike the FatGirlSlim starter pack, one bottle of the stuff will be enough for you to see if it works for you or not (it was for me, anyway), which is great, and one bottle also lasts for surprisingly long, since you do not need to use a lot of the lotion each time.

So all in all, a very impressive product, if you are looking for something to tighten your skin!

(I should also add that I read somewhere that you can use this product on your arms as well, so I have been using the lotion on both my mid-section and my arms for the entire time. And I got the same,  impressivly toned results on my arms as well!)

Review: Bliss Thinny Thin Chin Neck Firming Cream

Yes, I do realize it seems like I am sponsored by Bliss by now, since I write about their products all the time. I wish I was (believe me!), but I really am just very excited about most of the products I've tried, so I end up getting more and more Bliss beauty products all the time. And of course, it makes sense to share what I think of them, in case anyone else is thinking of getting the same products too.

This review will be about a neck and decolletage cream that Bliss has developed, called the Thinny Thin Chin Neck Firming Cream, which is supposed to be used on your entire v-zone (neck and decolletage), despite the name.

I must admit this is the first time I use a neck and decolletage cream (I've never had any issues with these parts of my body, and I am not sure I do still, but sometimes it's better to start using products before you actually need them, you know?), so I am not an expert on these creams by any means. But I really liked the Thinny Thin Chin Neck Firming Cream since the texture of the cream is lovely and light.
You see, I don't like heavy creams and lotions that take hours to absorb, and Bliss is really great when it comes to making creams that work well, but dissappear from your skin fast, so you don't feel sticky and uncomfortable using them. The Thinny Thin Chin Neck Firming Cream is no exception, and it has a lovely citrus smell too.

So I like using this cream, and will do so for a while, but must admit that I have not seen any very dramatic results. But then again, no dramatic results were really needed for me at the time either.

Review: 4 Bliss FatGirlSlim products

As I mentioned in my previous post, I have been trying out quite a few Bliss products lately. One set that I ordered a while ago, was the FatGirlSlim pack with 4 different products in it:

- The FatGirlSlim cream, against cellulite
- The FatGirlSleep cream, also against cellulite, to be used at night, for a more long term effect than the regular FatGirlSlim cream
- The FatGirlScrub, to be used when you shower, to smooth your skin out a bit, and to combat cellulite as well
- The FatGirl Massage tool (not pictured) that you can use to massage any problem areas where you have cellulite to help get rid of it

Now, before I continue with this review, I should probably point out that I only have very mild issues with cellulite, on my thighs. Others say they don't even see this, but I do myself, so I think it may be possible that others, with more severe cases of cellulite, might see better and more visible results than me.

The first thing I should say about the pack that I got is that the products you get with this pack are way too small for you to be able to know if the products work or not, since results can only be seen after having used them for several weeks. So if you are interested in trying the Bliss FatGirlSlim range (for which they do recommend that you use all the products together), don't get this set, but go for the full size products instead!

I actually got two of the products in full sized versions after having tried the smaller versions myself.

The FatGirlSlim cream smells lovely, slightly mintish, and has a lovely texture. You are supposed to use this anti cellulite cream during the day, which works really nicely, since it sinks into your skin amazingly fast. I liked this cream a lot, but since I was using both this, the scrub and the night cream simultaneously, it is hard to say which one of them had the biggest impact.

But still, I liked this cream so much I decided to give it another try, in a full size version, because if you are going to use body lotion anyway, why not use one that fills another purpose than just moisturizing as well?

The FatGirlSleep is a similar cream, that you are supposed to use during the night, instead of in the day. This means the texture is slightly heavier and thicker than the one of FatGirlSlim, and it also has a nice lavender smell, perfect for night.

I got this cream in a full sized version as well, and do plan to keep using it for a while.

The FatGirlScrub was actually a lovely scrub as well, with a slight minty smell as well. I liked using it, but since I think it can be replaced with any other scrub as well, I decided not to get another jar of the scrub for now. But perhaps I will at some point...

The FatGirl Massage tool works nicely for massaging problem areas, but I think you might be able to replace this tool with something similar if you find it somewhere cheaper as well.

So my conclusion after having tried all 4 products is basically that you can replace the scrub and the tool with similar, nameless products if you want, but the creams are harder to replace.

So did the products work?
Yes, I do believe my skin got smoother. So they did have some effect. However, it took almost a month before I saw a big improvement, so if you do decide to use these products, I suggest you try to be as patient as possible. I should also add that the cellulite did not dissappear completely, but maybe it will get even better if I continue using them for longer?

So these are really interesting products to try, if you are looking for some kind of anti cellulite treatment. In all fairness, I must admit these are the first anti cellulite products I have tried myself, so I cannot really compare them to other, similar products just yet.

Review: The Youth As We Know It Eye Cream by Bliss

I've mentioned what a big fan I am of Bliss products over and over again here on the blog. And because of that, I am always keen to try new Bliss products. Up until recently, I've been really happy with all the products I've tried, but when I decided to get the Bliss The Youth As We Know It Eye Cream, I was really dissapointed in this brand for the first time.

You see, this is an eye cream, yet it really makes your eyes burn, as soon as you apply it. At first I thought I might have applied way too much of the cream, so I tried again with a smaller amount. But nope, my eyes still burned, so I always had to wash my eyes instead of leaving it on. I've also tried applying the cream only really far from the eye itself (which is not really the point of an eye cream), but no matter how and where you apply this cream, it will make your eyes water and really hurt.

And nope, I don't have really sensitive eyes or anything like that, on the contrary even, I've never had any issues with eye creams before. Since eye cream is basically the only anti aging (this cream is from Bliss' The Youth As We Know It-anti aging line) product I use, I can't speak for Bliss' other anti aging products, but this eye cream is really useless. I will be throwing it away, without finishing even a small part of the jar I got.

So if you are thinking of getting this eye cream, I do think you should consider getting something else instead, especially since this eye cream is not that cheap (it retails for $75, but since I got mine online, I paid less) either.

Just ordered some more Bliss products!

So if you've read my reviews about the Bliss Glamour Gloves and the Bliss Steep Clean 15 Minute Facial, you have probably already figured out that I am really loving this brand right now.

So of course I want to try some more Bliss beauty products as well.
That's why I just ordered a travel set with 6 different Bliss products from the Lemon and Sage line.

I've read a lot of reviews of different Bliss products lately, and this seems to be one of their most popular ones.
What I will be getting is:
-A bottle of supershine shampoo
-A bottle of conditioning rinse
-A jar of body butter
-One soapy sap
-A bottle of foaming face wash
-And a massage bar.

So if you are interested in Bliss products too, keep an eye out for a review of all these coming up soon!
