I received the body wash in the BBBE Gamble Box. I'm all about soap so I didn't hold much hope for this product swaying my loyalty. After using this for almost a month I still prefer soap but this is one of the only body washes I've come across in a long time that I probably would've repurchased if it wasn't for the packaging.
Despite the eye catching rich brown packaging it comes with a pump which needs a little tweaking here and there to be fully functional. I find when pushing the pump right down I need to wait for it to slowly come back up or manually move it up myself so I can quickly get more product. This pitfall makes the bottle too fiddly in the shower especially when you are nearing the end and you end up having to decant.
Bliss is a potent hit of coconut - the scent reminds me of a coconut liquer. Once I get past that then I detect a synthetic floral scent - neither smell like frangipani and paw paw to me but it's pleasant nonetheless. The product is a semi-thick gel consistency so it goes over the skin easily without being an overload of suds.
What surprised me the most was that after an hour I can still detect a light fragrance on my skin - I've never had that in a body wash before so I'm quite impressed. I would only repurchase this if it came in a squeeze tube/bottle to allow for a hassle-free shower.
I love body wash, it would be safe to say I am quite obsessed with it and have tried them all. So when I saw this wee beauty come out I just had to try it. I love anything with coconut so bliss sounded perfect.
The packaging is gorgeous. A big 445ml amber coloured bottle with a hint of gold. It has a handy pump which I love. I saw other ladies have had issues with the pump but mine has been sweet as. I paid $7.99 on special which is a good price.
The gel is a great consistency, I hate when they are runny or mega thick. It lathers up great on my shower poof. The scent is strong! It is very sweet. I quite like it and I notice it lingers on my body for hours afterwards.
I have dry, sensitive skin and some body washes can leave me feeling itchy and irritated. Not this one though. It feels amazing on my skin, leaves me feeling clean and moisturised which is great especially in winter.
I would love to try the rest of the range and see if they smell as good as this one does. Another winner from essano. A great NZ brand.
