Bliss Fat Girl Slim Review and Bliss Love Handler Review
What Sephora and Bliss Says It Does:
Fat Girl Slim:
A lean, mean circulation stimulating, slimming cream for the body.
With caffeine and QuSomes (a proprietary delivery enhancer that helps penetration), this rich cream helps smooth the skin as it firms, trims, tones, and energizes.
The Love Handler:
Wages war on not-so-hard 'core' areas with caffeine, to whittle the look of your middle and tone pudgy tummies. Cooling mint oil and naturally-derived amino acid help to boost energy and make lingering lipids depart on the double. (It's 'ab'-solutely fabulous, if we do say so ourselves.)
What I Say It Does: All I have to say is wow if you are having some serious issues in your body that you want to smooth out do yourself a favor and purchase these two babies today. The Fat Girl Slim says that it takes 28 days to see results but honestly I saw them within two weeks of using it everyday twice a day. My legs are so smooth and no bumps or bulges and I've even managed to fit into my skinny skinny jeans again. The Bliss Love Handler product tinges when you put it on but if you use it right before you work out or do your core workout you will get fast results. This isn't a miracle product but I believe that if you're really trying to tone up your body and you work out on a regular basis you will see great results with both products. I know I have. The only downside is that you will probably go through your jar of Fat Girl Slim very quickly.

How To Get Blake’s Makeup Look
“We’re used to seeing Blake as the typical American girl, so I tried something more fierce,” explained makeup artist Stéphane Marais.
A sheer foundation was blended onto Blake’s face and her cheeks, forehead and chin were highlighted with bronze shimmer.
To play up her eyes, Marais rimmed them in black pencil and smudged the lines outward. He swept black metallic shadow across her lids and finished with a thick stripe of black liquid liner.
Marais left Blake’s lips bare with just a dab of moisturizer to bring out their “natural cherry color”.
