Lush Review: Rose Jam + Butterball

I tried out a new technique thinking this was going to give me tons of bubbles, but it didn't and I ended up pretty disappointed. {But I will keep experimenting and finding ways to create immense amounts of bubbles!}
I thought that Rose Jam was going to be more fragrant both in the water and on my skin, but it lacked any sort of residual smell :( It definitely did smell of roses, but compared to Yuzu and Cocoa, it is not as pungent smelling. Overall I do love the pink water and the way that it smells, I just wish it would be more smelly. One last thing- the bubbles lasted like 5 minutes before being completely gone :'( {this could be because I'm still experimenting with bubble-making}

Butterball was just as described by lush- extremely buttery and moisturizing... so moisturizing that it left a film of butter/oil all over my bathtub and on my skin. It didn't change the scent of the bath, but it did let out these weird chunks of brown butter?? Overall this wouldn't be my first choice bath bomb; it's a bit too heavy on the butter for my liking.

These are the products I used- Rose Jam bubbleroon {pink} and Butterball bath bomb {white}.


Here is butterball in all of its buttery glory, you can see the little brown butter bits floating around everywhere I did notice that they dissolved after a while, so don't be alarmed if you see them too.

Method: I put half of the bubble bar into a stocking {$2 sheer one from Walmart} and tied it so that it was directly under the running water. I left it there until it all dissolved. But this resulted in less bubbles than I had anticipated. Next I will try to use the shower head directly on the bubble bar and see if the power from that results in more bubbles. {I will keep you updated}



Not enough bubbles.

No more bubbles after 5 min :( But this is a gorgeous pink color!!!

What are your tips for getting more bubbles???

Lush Haul!!!


I went a little crazy. I bought too many things at Lush, but I am so excited! :D




Rose Jam: "rosy fragrance paired with coconut oil icing" 
This is one of the most amazing rose scented things I have ever smelled! {I wrapped it in a 

plastic bag and stored it on the bottom shelf of my bookshelf and it made my whole  room smell!} 

Yuzu and Cocoa: "delectable orange chocolate fragrance, with exotic tropical
 undertones and an uplifting grapefruit top note" I want to eat this! The chocolate

 smell is not prominent, but gives the overall smell some depth {if that makes any sense}
This one also has the most amazing sent! I can't wait to use it!!! 

Dragon's Egg: "sherbet-y citrus scent of lemon and bergamot" This one has it all, colors, 
smells, and glitter! I cannot wait to drop this one in my bath so I hear and see it fizzle!

Butterball: this "little fizzer is the ultimate in comfort with chunks of creamy 
cocoa butter; it’s fantastic for rehydrating dry skin." This bath bomb will be
perfect for soaking after beach days. It smells buttery and softly of vanilla. Yum!

Dirty Soap: "shockingly fresh herbal and spearminty fragrance... Men love this fragrance"
I picked up this sample size for the bf, it is definitely a manly smelling soap and quite
pungent... but in a really good way! He used it and said it made the whole bathroom + his 
skin smells amazing so I guess it's a keeper :)

Jumping Juniper: "cleans away grease and balances sebum production for soft, shiny 
(in the good way) hair." What a weird but awesome concept, the girl who was helping 
me says this lasts her about 3 months {roughly ~80 uses}!!!  

I Love Juicy: "Fresh fruit juices of pineapple, mango and kiwi are slightly acidic
and help to mop up excess sebum" I got this shampoo because my hair gets oily roots 
after 24 hrs :( and washing it everyday is starting to dry out my ends the ombré effect 
didn't help either. I hope this works, but if it doesn't it still smells amazing.


Veganese Conditioner: " agar seaweed gel as a natural hair softener instead of lanolin, and blend in generous helpings of lemon oil to create the perfect vegan conditioner" The super helpful girl at Lush gave me this sample and said it was really light and would suit my hair type. We shall see what
 marvelous things a vegan conditioner has to offer. :)

I will be posting reviews of all the products soon {I wish I could use them all now!!!} 
But let me know if you want specifics on any product mentioned :)
