Whoever invented citrus-scented body products…BLESS YOU. 🙂
I’ve been cruising the halls at Tabs the Cat Industries, LLC, HQ this week with a spring in my step and the scent of grapefruit on my skin from the new $33 Bliss Holiday Suds + Butter Set in Happy Aloe Days.
Yup…nothin’ like a little citrus and a gift set with a clever name to perk ya right up (Happy aloe days?? Like happy holidays? Get it? I’m easily amused…).
This limited edition three-piece set’s been my main shower squeeze since last week. It comes with a full-size 6.7-ounce bottle of Bliss Grapefruit + Aloe Body Butter, a full-size 16-ounce bottle of Grapefruit + Aloe Soapy Suds Body Wash and a matching pink bath poof.
(Pink bath poof… Good luck saying that one five times fast!)
I usually think of wearing light, refreshing grapefruit scents like this one more in spring and summer, but forget that! The colder months are when I actually need the reminder of warmer weather.
To my nose, Grapefruit + Aloe has a fresh, light grapefruit scent perfectly balanced between tart and sweet. I have very dry skin this time of year, particularly on my legs, and it usually gets progressively worse as the temperature drops, but this body wash and body butter are doing a great job keeping everything moisturized.
Lately, I’ve been sudsing off in the shower after my morning workout with the body wash, which gets all the sweat off without stripping my skin. I follow that up with the body butter, which sinks in quickly and moisturizes like whoa!
I suppose you could get this for a friend (the packaging’s super cute and ready to gift), but I vote for keeping this one for yourself. 🙂
Oh, and Bliss also offers two other “flavors” of the Suds + Butter sets if grapefruit isn’t your thing — Wishing You the Zest is scented with refreshing lemon and sage, and A Citrus Carol is an invigorating blood orange and white pepper.
You can find all three sets now for a limited time at Sephora, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus stores and online.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Grapefruit scents are yummy! They wake me right up in the morning.

I’ve tried Bliss blood orange and vanilla body butters.I really like them. This would make a great gift.
Hi Denise!
I used both the Blood Orange Body Butter and Shower Gel last summer and loved the scent. Have you given the Grapefruit one a sniff yet? It’s so lovely!
Wow – what a timely post, Karen ! I JUST ordered this set, though in the Blood Orange + White Pepper, my luv luv luv favorite, from Neiman Marcus, a few other Bliss items as well, and got an awesome gift with purchase. Also found yet another PERFECT lipstick in a nude shade, an Aerin Limited Edition in Madison, and received yet another gift with purchase:

This has been Awesome Freebie Day, now known as AFD to me. Check out Stila as well for 3 FREE, full-size (!) lip glazes, worth a whopping $66 bucks, with a $40 purchase.
So happy there are other Bliss fanatics out there, as well as other MBB people who can read your blog and eat turkey at the same time…
Happy Holidays Everyone !
Happy holidays, FreshEyre!
Love this scent! I recently picked up the Bliss three body butter set from Sephora ($39)-fantastic! It has grapefruit-aloe, blood orange-pepper and lemon-sage scents-perfect!
Hi Musical,
Happy Thanksgiving! How was your day?
I need to check this out!
I love the unscented version of that body butter – not sticky or slippery, but still nice and moisturizing. (I’m squirrely about scented lotions – I don’t want to be That Girl Who Reeks Of Fruit, you know?) I’m cheap, though, and I found a turbo-huge bottle at Marshalls for $14…
Where did you get those duckies? hehehe… I am more interested in the ducks!! 😀
Lol I giggled at the name too. It’s cute. This does seem like a really nice set though!
