FatGirlScrub
What it is:
A lean, mean, skin-smoothing exfoliator for the body.
What it is formulated to do:
Bliss FatGirlScrub works to promote circulation through exfoliation and massage, which helps reduce the accumulation of stagnant fluids that contribute to lumps and bumps.
What else you need to know:
This contour-enhancing essential sloughs away dead skin cells to increase the penetration and effectiveness of follow-up slimming products.
My Thoughts:
While this scrub exfoliates well and smells very refreshing, I find it is rather expensive, given that it does not do much (if anything) for cellulite. It does leave my skin feeling very smooth and noticeably tighter. Even though it does contain one ingredient, fairly high on the list, that is moderately hazardous, most are safe and I still enjoy using it, though not every day.

Though this product has not been reviewed specifically on the Beautypedia website, the following is their brand review of Bliss:
Strengths: Good selection of cleansers; fantastic gel blush.
Weaknesses: A preponderance of products whose claims raise hopes but that don’t work even remotely as described; several sunscreens without sufficient UVA protection; no effective anti-blemish or skin-lightening products.
