Fat Girl Sleep at Bliss
This week, I sent Deenie to Bliss to check out the Fat Girl Slim line and get a massage (tough life, eh?). Her report, here:
”Jolie readers: Because you’re so beauty-savvy, you won’t be surprised to see me gush over Bliss Spa. With 8 locations across the U.S., one opening in Scottsdale, a spa in London and locations soon coming to Doha and Hong Kong, Bliss has become a household name since the early 90’s. Bliss isn’t your average walk-in, lie down, drop-your-pants and get waxed where-the-sun-don’t-shine spa. They lend you a robe and flip flops! Give you a locker! Stuff you with brownies and lemon water! I fell in love with their Triple Oxygen Facial and Brazilian Bikini Wax long ago, but recently have been introduced to their fabulous at home spa solutions. It’s beach time (although Nadine has been enjoying Los Angeles sun for months, grumbles the pale New Yorker), and that means skinny time. Thankfully Bliss knows how to help a girl out when she just can’t do any more sit-ups or stand to eat another grilled chicken salad (dressing on the side).
Fat Girl Slim and the Love Handler are the first two of Bliss’s cellulite busting creams in the Fat Girl line. Intended for use during the day, Bliss claims the Love Handler is a “liquid workout for lazy abdominals, with 8 hour release caffeine and energizing amino acids.” A sister to the LH, Fat Girl Slim works similarly but with QuSome-encapsulated caffeine molecules and can be used from the neck down. Completing the trifecta, a new sister is born—and born to sleep. Just released a few days ago, Fat Girl Sleep is packed with Bliss’s slenderiZZZe complex and has a lovely lavender scent with which you can rub you flub before slipping under your sheets. Overnight, dimple diminishers are released to help you take full advantage of your 8 hours…or 6 (let’s be honest).
And while we’re talking summer, Bliss and Philips have just released a Bikini Perfect kit- your own at-home hair removal kit for those times you poor (or lazy) moments. More cool new Bliss products to keep you looking young and skinny are available online. But until next time, good night and good luck.”

Interesting.. I remember reading about these products awhile back, but wrote them off after researching that cellulite creams are pretty much never effective. So that’s the big question - do they actually work? Have you tried them and found any difference?

I just bought (and returned) the Bikini Perfect kit. I love Bliss products, and thought this would be the same quality that I’ve come to expect from them - but it wasn’t! Terrible design - the trimmer’s head (that determines the length of the hairs) slides around and you can’t keep it at the predetermined length that you selected. Also - I don’t know if the blades weren’t very sharp or what, but I had to go over everything several, several times before I got everything to the same length. I didn’t realize how good my regular trimmer was until I tried this! I didn’t bother trying out the epilator that came with the kit - I just returned the whole thing - so I can’t comment on that. At the same time though - I bought Fat Girl Slim. I’d like to think I’m seeing results - but is it just my imagination? I’m with e. - what do you think?

Thanks for the comments girls! I hate to hear that the Bikini Kit was no good for you! I was so excited about it. (Well, it’s a good idea at least.) And about the cellulite cream - I don’t like to depend on those sorts of things normally, but in combination with a healthy lifestyle, I think they are great “boosters.” I have really seen results around my tummy and thighs; they just look smoother than before. You have to keep using, and it’s no lipo, but it has definitely helped!

is bliss’s “youth as we know it” better than “hope in a jar”? I am 21 and trying to choose a moisturizer that will help with some fine wrinkles on my forehead that, at my age, I don’t think should be there…which would you suggest?

I hate the name of this line of products «Fat girl». It’s offensive!

I have never tried ‘Hope in a Jar’ but I LOVE ‘Youth as we know it’.

How old should you be to use the fatgirl sleep or any fatgirl products?
