Bliss Body Butter Lite Launch, Benefit Justine Case Palette

No new gifts with purchases today, but a here’s a product launch that I can’t wait to pick up. Bliss has finally come out with a lightweight version of their awesome body butter. The new Body Butter Lite is available for sale today in both the Lemon and Sage scent and the Naked (unscented) version. It is $29 for 8.5 oz, and it comes in a bottle with a pump (finally!). When you purchase it direct from Bliss you will receive a free Hanky Panky thong when you enter code HANKY at checkout. Those are available while supplies last.

I couldn’t find a picture of the Hanky Panky thong they are giving away, but I did find this during my search. The Hanky Panky Women’s Overnighter Set includes a very pretty thong (in black/current) along with a Benefit Cosmetics Justine Case palette. The Justine Case palette alone sells elsewhere for $32 and includes minis of California Kissin’, Eye Con, Benetint, and Some Kind-a-Gorgeous. The Overnighter Set is available from Bare Necessities for a fantastic $19.99. (Save an additional 10% when you enter coupon code couponcabin09 at checkout!)
