Rose review: Paperchase Rosemary and Peppermint Scented Bubble Bath

Hi everyone!
Today I have a review of this Paperchase bubble bath for you. Now I would never usually go to Paperchase for bath or beauty products, but I was given this for ny birthday so thought I would try it out.

I actually really like the packaging of this. Even though it's plastic, I love the little old-school 'bottle top'. This doesn't actually open and you have to open the whole top which I was a bit disappointed with, but I love the overall appearance.

In terms of the actual product, the colour is very nice. It doesn't transfer to the bath. The scent is nice and relaxing, albeit not very strong. It makes nice bubbles, and obviously the speed you finish it up at depends on how bubbly you like your bath!

I don't really know what else to say about this, but overall I think this is a really nice product, and would be a really good gift for someone just getting into beauty, as it isn't especially luxurious but lovely all the same.

I'm not sure about the cost as it was a gift, but you should be able to get it in Paperchase.

I hope you enjoyed this post and as always feel free to comment below!

Rose Review: Stackers jewellery box

Hi everyone!!
Today I have a review of the Stackers jewellery boxes for you!
For my birthday this year, I got one of these jewellery boxes. I'd seen these occasionally before in John Lewis but never really heard much of them, particularly in the blogging community.
So what are they, and why are they so special?
What's different about these is basically that you can personalise it! Stackers are bought in parts, and come in loads of different colours and designs. So not only can you choose the colour and lining, you can also choose the actual physical shape. So if you have lots of rings, you can choose one with more ring spaces etc.
I got mine in the bright (fuchsia!!) Pink colour, with the smaller flowered lining, and the standard lid and three-sectioned parts. But there are soo many options to choose from. As you can see, I don't have too much jewellery at the moment, but what I like about these is that you can just build your box up as you get more jewellery. They are also quite reasonable in price and would make a great Christmas present. You can also get them in mini sizes.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it! Bye!!x

Rose Review: Figs and Rouge Pomegranate lip balm

Hi everyone!
Today I have a review for you of a the figs and rouge pomegranate lip balm, which I recently got given for my birthday. This has recently made the beauty blogger rounds, so whilst you've probably all read a million reviews I thought I'd hop onto the bandwagon!
I got the pomegranate flavour, as it's my favourite fruit, but there are a wide range of other flavours to choose from also.
First things first, the packaging. I think it is possibly one of the prettiest lip balms I have ever seen. I just love how it looks kind of vintagey and pretty and I also love the colours!
The actual product is white in the pot, but obviously clear on the lips. White lips would be very weird! It's soo moisturising, and smells a.maze.ing. Obviously if you don't like pomegranate you probably wouldn't like this, but omigod, this is heaven on earth. Pour moi.
It's £5, so obviously more expensive than brands like carmex, but cheaper than your luxury brands like nuxe and by Terry. I havn't tried either of those brands, but I will say this lip balm is very high quality. Oh, and you get 17ml of product.
Overall, I would say that this is my new favourite and I may have to purchase another. And I might even go as far as to say it would be one of my top 10 products. Wow. What an achievement for figs and rouge.
Bye!!
