texture meets tulips
The literal love child of couple Kim + Hein, Amsterdam-based Bloomeffects was created when a skincare-obsessed gal met a fourth generation Royal Tulip farmer and moved to the Netherlands. Cute! The two put their heads together and developed a luxury line founded on the benefits of a unique tulip skincare complex, with each formula offering a super-unique experience (textures like woah!) and stunningly beautiful packaging linking to the extraordinary heritage of the blooms.
Two stand-out beauties are the Royal Tulip Nectar - which some say is a more natural version of La Mer. The formula is a like a rich honey (described as an ointment to serum) and deeply moisturizing with anti-aging benefits and zero bad stuff.
My absolute love, though, is the Royal Tulip Cleansing Jelly. A gel to milk formula that smells incredible, it easily removes eye makeup and other junk of the day, without stripping your skin. I pretty much only use a cleansing oil in winter, and this is a great version if you don’t love the feel of an oil or just want something soothing feeling.
The best part is this guys come with a gorgeous little spoon to dole out their deliciousness! The entire package and experience makes them an amazing gift, too.
