In 1996 Bliss was founded by Marcia Kilgore in New York. In 2001 Bliss came to the UK when it opened it's first international spa in London. Since then Marcia has also created Fitflop, the toning footwear brand, and a cheaper beauty range which I think just about everyone has heard of and tried which is Soap & Glory.
This got me thinking, if Bliss and Soap & Glory were created by the same person maybe there are some dupes of Bliss products in their cheaper brand counterpart?
I have to admit I have used many different Soap & Glory products and only one Bliss product so I can't say that the products I've found are of equal quality and give the same results but here's what I found.

First thing you notice about comparing the ingredients is that Soap & Glory products contain many more and they also contain
parabens. Like I mentioned above I have only used one Bliss product which was their Fat Girl Sleep (review found
here) unlike Soap & Glory where I've used many including the comparative to Fat Girl Sleep, Slimwear (review found
here).
So have you used any Bliss products? What did you think? Or do you think that they do the same as Soap & Glory ones so prefer the cheaper alternative? I'm interested in your feedback here!
