Blooming Blends Calm Tincture Review

As someone that is easily over-stimulated, finding a bit of calm in the day can be a tricky mission, however, I recently discovered the Blooming Blends Calm Tincture and am finding it very effective. Here’s what you need to know.

Take 1/2 or a full pipette and drop the liquid under your tongue for rapid absorption. Alternatively you can drop it into water for a more diluted effect.

For sleep, you should take a full pipette before bed time. If you wake in the night, you can take another to help you drift back off to sleep.

My Review of Blooming Blends Calm Tincture

So I first tried this when I was at a press day with PuRe PR where they had kindly invited me to represent REESON to press and influencers. It was a super fun day but when I see a lot of people, and chat a lot, I get very easily over-stimulated, and can become what some would describe as manic!!

I was chatting to Kelly who is one of the PuRe founders and she noticed I was a bit… shall we say … over-excited and so recommended the Blooming Blends Calm Tincture which she was serendipitously PR-ing.

She popped a pipette in a little glass of water which I immediately drunk and then didn’t think much more of it. Not too long after, makeup artist Caroline Barnes (who I was sharing a room with) suddenly noticed that I had completely calmed down! Kim who I work with on REESON also confirmed that I seemed much more low-key! It was really quite funny because I went from being rather loud and in everyone’s faces to relatively serene (for me!).

I was inclined to say that there was a bit of placebo effect involved, but the fact of the matter is, I was so busy that I had completely forgotten I had taken it until Caroline remarked on my change of disposition.

Since then I have enjoyed using it before bed, or when I want to relax in the evenings and am finding it hard to unwind. It’s a gorgeous blend and actually tastes really nice, which makes it very easy to take.

All in all, this completely works as far as I am concerned. So if you are seeking a bit of calm, I couldn’t recommend this enough!

If you are looking for something specifically for sleep, this brand also has a sleep blend, but I haven’t tried it yet. One I do recommend is by Marie Reynolds. If you want to check that out read: Marie Reynolds Zedz Night Time Blend Sleep Supplement Review.

How to use it

For dryness:

So the Naturium Barrier Bounce Advanced Skin Hydrator is a bit of a multi-tasker. You can use it as a serum step if you want to improve barrier support and target dryness. For this you can layer it over lighter serums and under your moisturiser.

For extra glow:

If you’re a fan of the dewy look, the best way to use this is as the last step in your normal skincare routine. Just smooth over a small amount to really amp up the glow whilst locking in moisture.

My Review of Naturium Barrier Bounce

So as I suspected, this is a really lovely product and will be perfect if you are looking to defend your skin against moisture loss and ensure your complexion makes it through the winter months without too much suffering!

It has a beautiful rich texture that, if you had normal skin that doesn’t experience too much dryness, could potentially be enough for a one and done serum and moisturiser step.

I have enjoyed using it as my serum step under moisturiser, and it’s also really gorgeous to prime the skin for the makeup if you want to amp up the glow levels.

Although rich, it sinks in beautifully and doesn’t leave the skin looking or feeling greasy. It is a really well balanced product.

Naturium Barrier Bounce vs Glossier FutureDew

As soon as I saw this new Naturium product, it was impossible not to compare it to Glossier FutureDew which I am also a big fan of.

Both products are this oil-serum formula and I have to say, the textures are pretty similar. Both are rich and nourishing, and when used as the last step in your skincare, deliver that lovely glowy, glossy finish to the skin.

I’d say that Glossier FutureDew* leans more to the makeup side, as it contains light reflecting pigments, where as Naturium is more of a skincare product. I think you get a bit more of a long lasting glow from FutureDew because of that.

In terms of price, Naturium Barrier Bounce is much more affordable at £26.50 for 50ml, whereas Glossier FutureDew is £30 for 30ml. This makes Naturium almost half the price if that helps at all.
