I like it because its paraben free, but quite honestly it's not that spectacular. It goes on like any normal lotion in my opinion.

I'm really thrilled for finally having the chance of trying this product, and getting to know what all the fuss on beauty blogs was about.
It took me a bit of time to find a good opportunity for purchasing it - the price is a bit high - but recently I've discovered an exclusive promotion at an online store that included a small tube (50 ml.) of this body butter.

The texture was a good surprise: since it is called a "butter", I was expecting something more thick and hard to spread. Instead, its consistency resembles a lotion, without compromising on the amount of moist, which is remarkable for such a lightweight cream. The scent is very pleasant too, not at all predictable. Most of the citrusy and fruity fragrances tend to smell too artificial (like lemon candy instead of fresh lemons), however this one is a fine exception to the rule. It is light, delightful and reminds me of my mum's lemon pies made with freshly squeezed lemons - sweet yet subtle and comforting. It absorbs very quickly and the smell is not overpowering, so it won't clash with your fragrance like some moisturizers do.

Now, the veredict: is it worth the money? Considering that the big tube costs more than 10 euros, I don't think so. Although it is being a pleasant experience, I'm happy that I had the chance of trying a small and cheap sample first. You can find products with this quality for a much lower price in your local drugstore and probably regret the money you spent for this pretty average performance.

I bought the super-sized version for $16 at Nordstrom Rack. Was it worth it? Yes. Is it worth $50? Hell no.
This moisturizer is pretty sub-par; if you have dry skin and are in need of some actual moisturization, allow me to recommend the Body Shop body butters. I'll be using this body cream to top up during the day if I start to get a little dry. I'm ambivalent towards the scent but it doesn't last so it's not much of a concern. One other issue I have with this cream is that it's in a tube, for body moisturizers I much prefer tubs because my hands get greasy and then it gets hard to squeeze more product out of the tube.

Anyway, if you see this at a very low price, I'd say try it out, it's nice to have around if you want a quick, but short, moisture boost (I like it for my hands after washing them since it's very non-greasy). But certainly not worth it's $50 dollar price tag.

I bought the super-sized bottle for $13 dollars at Nordstrom Rack where it seems to always be available far below the retail price of $49. I don't know how anybody could purchase this at normal retail price. It is a very average body lotion. Nothing amazing.


Pros: The price is right at Nordstrom Rack, the smell is nice, and it's pretty free of superfluous chemicals.


Cons: I would never pay $49 for this, and it is far from amazing or super moisturizing. The scent doesn't last either, and it definitely doesn't take care of super dry areas. I prefer my tub of Cetaphil Moisturizing Creme or the Body Shop Body Butters.

I got this when I stayed at a W Hotel. I should have known I wouldn't like it when I read the ingredients, it seems full of artificial fragrance, chemicals and parabens. I used it after showering and found it absorbed well but did a poor job of moisturizing. My skin felt dry within an hour. It irritated my sensitive skin in some areas and I didn't like the smell. Lemon and sage seem like chicken seasoning to me too Prissy! I'll pass on this and wouldn't purchase a full size of this.

I should have used my considerable recipe reading acumen to realize that this would be a problem for me olefactorily. Lemon and Sage butter smeared all over me simply makes me smell like a chicken that is being prepared to be baked in an oven. Or maybe its just my pheromones.

Got a sample from Sephora. Very moisturizing and smells citrusy fresh. Used it on my hips rather than my hands. Ingredients could be good as seems to have less harmful items. For the price, there must be other ones just as good.

It feels so good on the skin, it has luxurious texture and absorbs very fast, but what I love the most is the smell. So refreshing and clean and not synthetic. It's just something you want to be smelling all day.

I like the value size bottle with a pump, it would look so good in my bathroom. "sigh"

Regarding the price, I still think that 35$ for a 6OZ bottle of a body moisturizer is a bit expensive. If you think, there are many other good smelling/ no paraben products out there for cheaper.

In winter, this is my go-to body cream. It is really moisturising and thick yet doesn't take too long to sink in. And now that you can buy it in the super-size (like they use in the Bliss spas) it's actually not that bad value for money as a little goes a long way and the tub lasts a good while.

This doesn't really seem like a "body butter" but a lotion.

Gotta give it one thing, IT SMELLS SO GOOD! I just want to smell it all day.

It's a body "butter", nothing special but for the smell, I might just repurchase it!

I got a 14oz bottle from Nordstrom Rack for $12.99! Normally this size retails for $35. At $35, this body lotion is overpriced but for $12 this is a great lotion!

I like Bliss body butter because (1) nicely scented without being over powering. (2) Very moisturizing. The lotion is on the thick side which is perfect for California's dry climate. It also absorbs quickly.

If it was normally $12 a bottle, this would be my HG body lotion.

Love this lotion. The scent is great, very fresh, not too strong, and it doesn't linger too long (which, personally, I really like). I got it as a gift and am starting to run out so i looked it up to buy more which is when I saw the price. $35 for 14oz is crazy. I love this lotion but unless I get it on sale I'm sticking with Aveeno when this runs out.

This cream came as a "twice the size duo deal" with a bottle of the Lemon and Sage shower gel. I picked it up at Winners for $19.99. Really like the cream, very good moisturizer, smells light and fresh, scent doesn't linger to long though but it doesn't make me feel greasy. The body wash is alright, barely there scent, need a lot to make a good lather, all in all it's alright. I was passing by Quorra and noticed they sold Bliss Labs product so I checked it out. My eyes just about popped out of my head when I saw the price for regular sizes of both the cream and the wash. Wow, I made out like a thief, but would never pay full price for either of these, even as a gift for someone. Good stuff, but not great.

I like this cream but I would not buy it at full price. It does a good job at moisturizing without making my palms greasy but its just not worth the high price.

Yes, this stuff smells AWESOME....but, as others have pointed out, the scent doesn't last much longer than 20 minutes. So what are you paying the outrageous price for? Um, I'm not totally sure. It is a nice moisturizer, but there are plenty of others out there that work just as well and cost a hell of a lot less! I like that there are no parabens in the formula, but hey, plenty of brands are removing them, so Bliss isn't alone in that. Really, the only selling point is the smell, and that hardly lasts, so don't bother buying this stuff. I was luckily able to try some of this body butter in one of those sample containers from Sephora, so I didn't (and never would) spend money on this. It has been nice to use on my pregnant belly, but again, there are soooo many other brands just as good.

Wouldn't purchase.

Though I like the fresh lemon scent, I do not like the formula of this product at all. I got a full sized sample from Sephora, so I didn't pay for a full size and glad I did not. For one thing, the scent does not last for more than 20 minutes. I tested this even on my hands, scent totally disappeared . I tried it on my legs, it absorbed but after 20 minutes my skin was dry as it was before I put this on. So no moisturizing at all. I'm dry in the winter and that will not do. Totally useless for me. Totally disappointed by Bliss.

I bought this at Marshall's at a good price, but probably wouldn't pay full price for it. Has a nice scent lemon and herbal scent, which isn't overbearing to my nose. Moisturizing is good, and not greasy in my opinion. Formula is nice and thick.

Money is too precious and there are too many really good cosmetics out there to be spending it on over-hyped, overpriced crud like this. It's oily as opposed to being moisturising and it smells like household cleaner. Not good.

It's a good moisturizer but the smell is overpowering. I use in on my legs, because that's where it's needed the most, but not on my arms since the perfume is too strong. The lemon is overbearing and the smell seems to last longer than the moisturizing effect.

I got a sample of this, so I can't complain, but I would not buy it.

This lotion is fine in the LITE version. Not great. It was sent to me in error. Usually, I use the NAKED version (scentless). It is reasonably moisturizing but not greasy. It passed the picky, no like sticky DH test. I think it is, though, overpriced. I only buy Bliss when it is on sale.

The scent is not overpowering, but I do prefer scentless lotions.
