While I was in California for my best friends wedding in Carlsbad, I stayed at the
W Hotel San Diego. The W’s are known for being luxury boutique hotels, generally marketed towards a younger crowd. They have a common theme of minimalist modern decor and hip, informal names for categories of rooms and public areas. For example the lobbies of all their hotels are known as the “Living Room.” W Hotels attempt to include the letter W wherever possible – the swimming pool is known as “Wet”, the concierge is known as “Whatever Whenever”, the laundry bag is known as “Wash” and so on.
However what I loved the most about my stay at the W was their bathroom products! They stock your bathroom daily with lovely mini products from the brand ‘
Bliss‘
I’d personally never tried any
Bliss Spa products before but apparently Bliss has 22 spas located around the globe. “From Hollywood to Hong Kong, Boston to Barcelona and Dallas to Doha, they aim to bring the latest and most effective spa treatments and products, challenging convention along the way and infusing everything with our signature Bliss touch – all to make you look and feel absolutely ‘spa’-tacular.”
So let’s have a look at the lovely goodies they treated me with at the W!
Love the modern, fresh packaging of these products!
For in the shower there was:
Lemon + Sage Conditioning Rinse (

Lemon + Sage Supershine Shampoo (

Lemon + Sage Soapy Suds Body Wash (

And for some further pampering there was:
Fabulous Foaming Face Wash (

Lemon + Sage Body Butter (

Bliss Body Bar (

My absolutely favourite was definitely the
Fabulous Foaming Face Wash. This 2-in-1 cleanser and exfoliator with rose hips, chamomile and passion flower is one of their best selling products.
You get some light foaming action after rubbing the product between your hands and the small, soft, round exfoliator beads gently cleanse your skin without leaving your face feeling soapy or dried out. The smell is probably the best part; it’s so refreshing and sweet at the same time I couldn’t get enough of it! I would recommend this face wash to anyone that is looking for a simple, soothing, exfoliating cleanser. I am definitely hooked and am going to purchase this for my bathroom at home after using it for a few days at the W Hotel. They sell it in a travel in a travel size (60ml at £6.50), regular size (197ml at £18.40) or even a super-sized version (460ml at £25.60). Think I might go super-sized because it gives you 30% savings and comes with a handy pump!
Have you tried any Bliss products before? xoxo
Love the modern, fresh packaging of these products!

I ended up buying the Fabulous Foaming Facewash after trying it at the lovely Chicago W hotel! :)
This looks so lovely. What a nice little treat to have instead of your average hotel bathroom products :)
