Review
I really like this versatile balm. For people with particularly dry or sore skin, this will become a holy grail.
The texture is thick. It squeezes out of the tube easily and has a lightly floral and citrus scent. I personally enjoy fragranced body care, so this is a hit for me. However, if you’re not a fan of fragranced products, the scent here is noticeable.
The balm is very rich, silky, and moisturising. As someone with oily skin, I wanted to know whether this balm would be too heavy and greasy for me and lead to breakouts. Also, I wanted to know how it would feel on my face. It was a bit of a risky move, but it thankfully paid off!
I applied Wonder Worker to my face overnight. It felt thick and a little greasy and sticky on my skin, so I wouldn’t wear this during the day. In the morning, almost all of the product had absorbed, and my skin felt very hydrated and looked dewy. And, to my surprise, it didn’t cause any breakouts.
As the balm is very nourishing, I’d only use it on my face from time to time: either when it’s feeling a bit drier than usual or as a one-off intensely moisturising overnight mask. Otherwise, I think it could upset my oily skin.
I’ve since applied the balm to my heels, which can get quite dry, and it works wonders (literally). It helps to nourish any dryness and restore the skin so that it feels soft, healthy, and protected.
Rating: 4.5 stars
This is a great restorative and intensely hydrating balm that alleviates any dryness and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
2. Bloom & Blossom All Night Long calming sleep spray
£18 for 75ml
Ingredients and claims
The Bloom & Blossom All Night Long calming sleep spray claims to be a vital part of any sleep routine. It promises to feature soothing ingredients to help you unwind, switch off, and easily fall asleep. You can spray it over your bedding, pillows, and pyjamas generously for the ultimate relaxation.
The spray includes soothing roman chamomile flower water, fragrant rose flower water and palmarosa flower oil, and many more ingredients for a calming aroma.
See the full INCI list below:
Aqua/Water/Eau, Anthemis Nobilis (Roman Chamomile) Flower Water, Rosa Damascena (Rose) Flower Water, Cymbopogon Martini (Palmarosa) Leaf Oil, Cymbopogon Flexuosus (Lemongrass) Leaf Oil, Tilia Cordata (Linden) Flower Oil, Pelargonium Roseum (Rose Geranium) Leaf Oil, Cananga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Flower Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Oil, Boswellia Carterii (Frankincense) Gum Oil, Anthemis Nobilis (Roman Chamomile) Flower Oil, Melaleuca Uncinata (Honey Myrtle) Flower Extract, Styrax Tonkinensis (Benzoin) Resin Extract, Glucose, Rapeseed Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Dehydroacetic Acid, Pentylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Limonene, Geraniol, Citral, Benzyl Benzoate, Linalool, Citronellol
Review
This sleep spray truly offers a very aromatic and calming experience. If you hate strong fragrance, you should avoid this spray at all costs, as the scent is strong.
Me, though, I love fragrance. This really reminds me of having a spa treatment, as it smells very floral and sweet, with ingredients like rose flower water, lemongrass leaf oil, ylang ylang flower oil, and lavender flower oil. You can distinctly smell lavender, which is associated with being relaxing.
I find All Night Long pretty relaxing. I sprayed my pillow and bedding liberally, and, when I tucked into bed, it felt cosy and tranquil. Although I don’t believe the spray actually improves sleep quality, it created a calming and nice environment. I don’t always drift off easily, so the tranquil space was very welcome.
Rating: 4 stars
If you find calming aromas pleasant and helpful to be around, this pillow spray is definitely worth it!
3. Bloom & Blossom Legs Eleven cooling leg serum
£29 for 100ml
Ingredients and claims
The Bloom & Blossom Legs Eleven cooling leg serum promises to brighten dull skin and revitalise tired legs. This is supposed to be the ultimate way to cool down after a long day. It claims to be lightweight, absorbent, refreshing, and moisturising.
Wave goodbye to weary legs and swollen ankles thanks to this light-as-a-cloud formula with stimulating peppermint leaf oil.
Bloom & Blossom
It incorporates humectant (retains or preserves moisture) pentylene glycol, emollient polyglyceryl-4 olivate, cooling menthyl lactate, soothing aloe vera leaf juice, and more.
See the full INCI list below:
Aqua/Water/Eau, Pentylene Glycol, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, Menthyl Lactate, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Oil, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Hydroxyacetophenone, Algin, Limonene
Review
This leg serum is a bit of a letdown.
I’ll start with what I like about this product. It’s definitely very cooling, which is always a pleasant experience, particularly if you’ve been rushing around all day or after a workout. It provides some mild hydration. Nothing too crazy, especially compared to body cream, but it’s still hydrating.
The product is very lightweight and absorbent with no stickiness. And it’s got an invigorating peppermint scent. Again, it’s very fragrant, so you’ve been warned if you’re not into scented products.
But besides being refreshing and a little hydrating, this product is lacklustre. I don’t find it revitalises my skin. It’s nice to apply, and the cooling sensation is nice while it lasts, but it definitely didn’t wow me.
I’ve used cheaper body serums that perform better than this one.
Rating: 3 stars
Legs Eleven didn’t hit the spot for me.

Review
The Pyjamarama dry body oil is a lovely product.
My oily skin doesn’t always get on with body oils. I’ve found a lot of them sticky, greasy, heavy, and non-absorbent. The skin on my body isn’t dry at all, so a lot of body oils would end up feeling like a slippery sticky mess. Not nice.
But this dry body oil hits the sweet spot between being moisturising and softening yet absorbent and non-sticky. After spraying it and gently massaging it into my skin, it feels soft and nourished. I can spray this at night and tuck into bed immediately, and I won’t stick to the sheets.
It has a sweet and musky scent profile thanks to frankincense. I personally love sweet, aromatic, and woody fragrances, so this is a really nice treat. It also has a very slightly floral fragrance that comes through.
Rating: 4 stars
This dry body oil works well and meets all of its claims.
5. Bloom & Blossom Hands Up age-defying hand cream
£18 for 50ml
Ingredients and claims

It features nourishing hero shea butter, emollients cetearyl alcohol and caprylic/capric triglyceride, pore-minimising niacinamide, and more.
See the full INCI list:

Review
So this hand cream is pretty nice but nothing special.
One thing that I find particularly frustrating is the pump dispenser. It really struggles to pump out any product. I think it’s because the tube itself is quite squidgy, so sometimes the pump just picks up air and not the product itself. It’s rather annoying. The design of this product needs some work.
This hand cream is marketed as being anti-ageing due to niacinamide. However, you’d be better off using a hand cream that incorporates vitamin A, which would do a lot more for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and reversing signs of UV damage.
On the plus side, the hand cream is hydrating, lightweight, and absorbent. I’ve used other hand creams that are more nourishing, protective, and improve the condition of my skin in the long term. However, this still does a decent – just not great – job of conditioning skin.
Rating: 3.5 stars
I like this hand cream, but I’ve used better.

Overall Bloom & Blossom review
I like Bloom & Blossom body care products. They contribute to a pampering nighttime self-care routine.
I love the baby pink and royal colour scheme. It’s modern and sophisticated. The contrast between the 2 shades is really pretty, so the products photograph beautifully. Did someone say #FlatlayGoals?
Overall, I think the prices are pretty reasonable. Yes, there are cheaper products on the market, but they’re by no means the most expensive. I think the Wonder Worker balm is particularly well priced considering the wealth of emollient ingredients and fantastic results.
The hand cream and leg serum didn’t live up to my expectations. They both smell nice, which would definitely add to an indulgent self-care day, but they don’t deliver much else besides being a little hydrating.
But the pillow spray, dry body oil, and balm are fantastic. They smell gorgeous, deliver on all of their claims, make my skin look and feel amazing, and overall make me relaxed.
I’ve loved trying this indulgent body care brand and would highly recommend investing in the 3 products that impressed me. You deserve it!
