Lush Rose Jam Bubbleroon - Review

Bubble bars are some of my favourite products from Lush - beautiful scents, vibrant colours & so many bubbles.. what more can a girl ask for?! So when I spotted the bright pink, glittering flower known as the "Rose Jam Bubbleroon", I knew this was a product I had to try.



After removing from the usual Lush packaging, I crumbled a section of the Bubbleroon under running water & watched as the bath turned bright pink with lots of amazing bubbles. A gorgeous, floral scent quickly filled the room from the combination of Rose, Lemon & Geranium oils.

These oils (which claim to balance, refresh & restore) are used alongside Fair Trade Cocoa & Shea butter (which leaves the skin feeling gorgeously smooth & moisturised). Lush claims that these ingredients are perfect for clearing the mind & making skin beautifully soft - something I definitely agree with after testing for myself.

Another great thing about this product is that it's effectively two bubble bars put together - making it perfect for multiple uses & very cost effective when retailing at £3.95 each.

Overall I'd say that if you're looking for an alternative to the usual Bubblebar's Lush has to offer, I'd definitely recommend picking up the Rose Jam Bubbleroon. The ingredients make it perfect for use after a long stressful day throughout the winter months.

What's your favourite Lush product?
I'm always on the look out for new bath treats to try!

Pandora and Disney

It's no secret that I am a huge Disney fan.. Throw cute jewellery into the mix & I am instantly sold. So as soon as I heard that Pandora (another brand that I'm a huge fan of) had collaborated with Disney I knew this was something I needed to invest in. 


Inspired by "Enchanted fairy tales & iconic love stories" the collection is one that I'd challenge any Disney lover not to swoon over. Some of the gorgeous jewellery on offer currently includes; elegant Mickey earrings, a Minnie Mouse ring & even Princess themed charms (click here to see Elsa's).

Of course it was essential for me to have something from this collection and - after what felt like hours of searching - I finally decided that the "classic Minnie" was the charm for me. As you can see above, this is a white glass charm with a simple Minnie Mouse inspired print. As soon as I opened the signature white Pandora box I instantly fell in love with this charm. It fits in with my other charms perfectly & shows off my love for Disney without being too "out there".

Unfortunately there is a slight downside to this collection.. At current the Disney Pandora collaboration is not available in the U.K  *sobs quietly*. However I'm almost certain that items can be shipped internationally.

Whilst extra shipping costs & a longer delivery time isn't ideal, I personally believe it's a small price to pay for such a lovely collection - especially if you're a Disney fan. We can all also pray that Pandora will soon catch up & start selling the collection here in the UK.

What are your thoughts on the Disney Pandora Collection?
I'd love to know in the comments.

So when the invitation to my office Christmas party arrived last week, I immediately set about to find the perfect party look. After spending a few hours browsing online, I decided to put together a selection of dresses that have caught my eye so far...


1. Lace Maxi Dress - Boo Hoo - £25.00 [x]
2. Velvet Skater Dress - Quiz - £26.99 [x]
3. Black Tulle Dress - New Look - £34.99 [x]
4. Sequin Maxi Dress - Little Black Dress - £87.00 [x]
5. Crystal Stress - Chi Chi London - £69.99 [x]
6. Sequin Maxi Dress - Lipsy/Asos - £75.00 [x]

Each of the above dresses are gorgeous & perfect for impressing at any Christmas Party - whether with friends, family or work colleages. If only I could justifying purchasing them all!

If there's one thing I love, it's receiving emails offering an exciting opportunities. So when I was contacted by Birchbox - a brand I feature regularly here on Small & Blonde - asking if I'd be interested in featuring as their "October Subscriber of the Month", I jumped at the chance.

As part of the feature, I was asked to answer a selection of beauty-related questions (including my favourite beauty product of all time & the best beauty tip I've ever received) & to also talk a little about why I love Birchbox.

I personally think this is great way for Bircbox to interact with their subscribers & was an opportunity that I loved being involved in. If you'd like to read the full post & see the answers to my questions, click here to head over to the Birchbox Blog.
