One of my appointments today entailed checking out Bliss, which is located within Sephora at ION Orchard. As far as I’m concerned, 2 things about spas in Singapore generally worry me. Firstly, it’s the fact that they are all dimly-lit and play the same gurgling-water, chirping-bird or harp-string CD that’s both old and dated. Second, it’s a given that at most spas in Singapore the therapists will try to hard-sell another package while you’re trying to enjoy the actual facial/massage/treatment, which really isn’t professional in the first place.
Which brings me back to Bliss. Besides being a complete day spa with a full selection of services, it is also brightly-lit and filled with friendly, affable staff. And that’s not all. They’ve also got their own product line which left me intrigued. A sucker for things that are excellently packaged, some of the products I brought back to try out include the Lemon + Sage Body Butter (smells like some delectable cake icing that’s good enough to eat), the Fabulous Foaming Face Wash (what can I say, I ran out of SK-II) and most embarassingly, something named The Love Handler.
Termed ‘a liquid workout for lazy abdominals’, I took it in vain hope that it would help me with my love handles and ever-growing beer gut. I reasoned that since not everyone is born with Nakata’s abs we could all use any help we could get.
I’m going to start using all 3 products, and if they are really any good I’ll be back at Bliss to start on the facials and treatments available. And if there are any Bliss fans out there I would love to hear what you’ve got to say about their products or spa services.

The body butter is super rich and soothing – I now carry around a travel size tube with me all the time. I’ve even used it for chafing on my nose when I last had the flu.
Also, if you’ve ever stayed at a W hotel, they use Bliss lemon+sage products worldwide so that’s a great way to try them out. After our last vacation, my sister now swears by the foaming face wash, which really leaves your skin feeling amazingly clean and smooth.
I love Bliss! Ever since they opened here in Singapore, I immediately tried their services and products out. Oprah herself gushes about how great this Spa is.
You guys should try their mani/pedi services its fantastic! I recommend the Pina Colada. The facials aren’t half bad as well. I’ve tried their Power Peel and its fantastic. You’ll really get a glow after.
One must try service AND product is the Triple Oxygen Facial. It magic! It’s heaven! Try the facial first then buy the product. The product is like a facial that you can bring at home – after using it you’ll really see your skin glow and it feels really clean!! Amazing!!
Aela you must be their biggest fan in SG! LOL!
I will be staying tuned for your review!
I love the Bliss lemon+sage body butter! It absorbs easily but it really moisturizes. The only downside for me is that Bliss products are not available here in the Philippines, so I have to order them online.
Love their steep clean facials and mask! Do try them!
Let us know the results!
Indeed! Stay tuned Melvin!
Sure will. im tuned in daily
It sounds nice already. I have the same peeves as you do about the local spas, in fact there’s a particular CD that so many of them play which I’ve termed the Generic Spa Music CD.
You should check it out, tucked away right at the back of Sephora. A welcome respite to all that shopping…
Ooooh… I haven’t tried the body butter yet but it sounds divine. What I do love from Bliss is their glamour gloves + hand cream. Adore the scent!
Where do I sign up for the Love Handler?
I think you can purchase their products off their UK site (http://www.blisslondon.co.uk). But if all else fails I’ll bring you a bottle when I meet you in Paris.
thanks for the tip! how about trying it first and tell me if it works?
