Introducing Bliss Spa in Singapore at Sephora

Last week I attended a media event for Bliss Spa, an extremely popular spa chain in the States, to let all of you know that Bliss has now been launched here in Singapore – and, of course, to entice you with some of their awesome services.

Bliss was founded in 1996 and quickly grew: Today, there are 16 Bliss spas worldwide, including the USA, Hong Kong, London, and now, the sunny island of Singapore.

Bliss Spa Singapore is it’s first foray in a Sephora store (the Sephora here is the largest in Asia at ION Orchard) and is tucked away in the giant beauty store. And don’t worry – it’s in its own complete area, so there are no shoppers or crowds anywhere near the place – it is quiet and peaceful and feels so cozy and warm; I can really see myself hanging out here a lot!

The spa offers services such as waxing, facials, body treatments and nail care. Bliss also retails its bath, body and skin care lines, which is available to purchase inside the spa, as well as outside on shelves in Sephora.

Here is a sneak peak into their new services:

The Ginger Rub, a heavenly massage that consists of a rub of freshly-grated ginger root  and warm detoxifying essential oils, a 20 min warming foil wrap, and then a 75 min massage. (Damn! Me want.)

‘Pedi’ Colada, a treatment including a pineapple-infused coconut milk soak, a stredded coconut scrub, a soothing massage and a pedicure – all while sipping a virgin pina colada.

Double Choc Pedicure is a true chocolate fete for your feet. It starts with a hot chocolate milk skin-smoothing soak, then a shin-sloughing sugar scrub, and finishes off with a pedicure, again, while enjoying a chocolate treat.

Don’t they sound great? I have to get a Ginger Rub ASAP!

I was very excited to be invited – as a VIP apparently, and almost squealed when I saw my cute little name tag, pictured on the right! The event included a briefing about the spa, some mingling, and fun and games for us to win products and services.

Here I am at the entrance side, looking very impatient for the event to begin! The spa is so cute and youthful – there’s nothing ‘holier than thou’ or pretentious about the place, and it really is a wonderful place for any girl, whether it’s an afternoon with the best friends or a quick ala carte service for those of us who want something quick.

One of the games included piecing together a short bio on some of Bliss’ famous products. I won a Minty Scrub Soap, and oh my, you will see the size of it once I do a review – it’s humongous and smells heavenly. I can’t wait to review it properly! After that, we were always allowed to choose a product or service, answer the question pinned to the prize, and if we answered it correctly, we won! I got the answer right, so I will be trying another service of theirs some other time and let you know.

Lastly, the colors on our tags (mine was red) meant we were given a free try of one of the ‘A la Carte’ service, a 15 minute service where busy women can come in for a quick reboost. I received the Blissage 15, a 15 minute massage on my shoulders and scalp – very relaxing. This massage landed Bliss Spa a win for best massage in Harper’s Bazaar magazine, in fact!

Overall, I had a great time learning about Bliss and its Singapore spa. I had always seen Bliss products around Sephora but I never knew too much about the brand. I especially like how it’s secluded at the back of Sephora – it’s like a nice little secret (that is now out, oy!).

Has anyone tried any Bliss products, or their services? What do you think about them?
