Blooming Jelly Review

October 3, 2018

Disclaimer: I received this shirt for a discount in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

 

I’m excited to share with you my first ever “collaboration” (This counts, right?) with a company since my blogging journey! I was contacted by two representatives from Blooming Jelly via Instagram to see if I’d be interested in receiving a free item in exchange for a review. Of course, I took it! I like free things … as well as any opportunity to put myself out there as a blogger who is capable of reviewing products. So without further ado, here’s my review for Blooming Jelly!

I was presented about six different options and I chose this long-sleeve shirt (It’s up on Amazon for $18.99 US). It only comes in one style and one color – the only option you can change is your size! They include the size guide in their description – I got mine in size Small. The Amazon UK site offers this shirt in this color as well as a dark grey one!

 

 

Arrival

The arrival was fairly quick and only took a few days. Unfortunately I don’t have Amazon Prime so I had to wait a little longer, but not by much!

 

 

Packaging

Past the white packaging, the shirt arrived in a neat transparent plastic bag with a zip-lock enclosure. I’m the kind of person who hates throwing packaging out; if I receive a gift bag, I save everything including the gift bag, as well as the tissue paper! I’m glad I didn’t have to destroy the bag that held the shirt because it’s reusable! It’s a really neat addition and is something I don’t see often.

 

 

Material

One part on their Amazon page said Cotton AND Polyester, while scrolling down you’ll see a different statement of “100% Polyester”. The tag on the actual shirt says 35% Cotton and 65% Polyester, in case you were wondering what the truth was! The material can stretch and is quite soft and comfortable to wear. It’s not thick, but it isn’t too thin that it’s transparent, so no worries there!

 

 

Style

The colors look accurate and is true to what you see online (sorry, my image editing made it look a different shade) which is excellent! Even though I ordered a Small, it’s not tight-fitted and there’s some extra fabric along the bottom as well, which makes you look nice and curvy. The back of the shirt is longer than the front and covers the bum like it’s shown online.

My boyfriend didn’t like the stripes on the arms because he thought it was random next to the block colors but I personally liked that addition. One thing I did notice was that the striped portion of the sleeve wasn’t sewn to match or align perfectly all the way around. However, that seam portion is on the inside where it’s closer to my body and is very small so it’s not noticeable.

Overall

I think it’s a pretty shirt and fits me perfectly. It’s soft and pleasant to the skin, and I absolutely love the color. It’s perfect for the upcoming Fall weather and I can’t wait to match it with my scarf, leggings, and knee-high boots!

    Love how you included the details about packaging, materials, and the seam alignment on the sleeves! This information is sooo good, especially for someone like me trying to make more conscious purchases! It’s such a cute shirt.

So maybe this is Influenster's early Christmas gif So maybe this is Influenster's early Christmas gift to me ?🤣 I got to try this sakura pink metallic color on my hair and as I expected, the color didn't show up as it showed on the box. I said in the survey I have black hair and still some remnants of blonde in my hair, but not much? Still, somehow I got chosen for this campaign 🤣 it DID however turn my roots a nice reddish brown color? The ends where my hair was blonde are purplish pink. I really wish I was back to full blonde so I could try this out! It would look soo pretty. Regardless, even though it didn't work as I suspected, I still appreciate the color tinting 🤭💖 TLDR: it works! But you need fairly light hair for it to work. Even the box says so. 🤣🙈

Hello! 🥰 Long time no see eh? I'm back in schoo Hello! 🥰 Long time no see eh? I'm back in school after a week break for Thanksgiving. I actually got a decent picture of myself during Thanksgiving but forgot to post it hehe 😆 we spent Wednesday night at my cousin's new house for Thanksgiving and then had more Thanksgiving food during Thanksgiving. 🤣 I'm so stuffed but I miss the blueberry pies and pecan pies! They went too fast 😭😭 Also, meet Chewy, my cousin's toy poodle 🥺 isn't he cute? He doesn't wriggle around when you hold him which is the sweetest thing 😍😆

I was kindly given a Care Package Voxbox from @inf I was kindly given a Care Package Voxbox from @influenster because they know I'm gonna be dying now that school has started back up again. 🤪🤪🤣 I am actually running out of toner so I am so freaking glad part of this care package involved the @humphreyswitchhazel toner! I've never tried anything with witch hazel but it's something I'm eager to try. 
.
I don't do much for my hair either so I think Influenster knew I needed to treat my hair with more love. When I have free time this weekend I'll be trying the @garnierusa hair mask and let y'all know what I think! It kinda makes me nervous because my hair gets so greasy but idk maybe that doesn't affect that?? 😆 And of course, super grateful for the @advilrelief because I can never get enough pills in me to treat my headaches cause it's the time for me to apply to universities...🙃 Can you believe it?! I'm graduating community college (again) in may 2021 and will be transferring soon for my bachelor's!! So crazy!🙈

I've been dead in this account and I know it's bad I've been dead in this account and I know it's bad, I honestly sometimes feel like deleting this account but I think of why I started this in the first place and it makes me sad I've kinda left it... But I like to say I'm just moving on to different goals and that's okay! I still don't know what I'll do with this account, maybe I'll leave it open and just post occasional (really it's rarely... honestly, who am I kidding 😂) photos if I'm somewhere exciting and new! Or flower pics 😂
