Nume Curl Jam review

Hello Everyone, I recently bought a hair curling set from Nume and i wanted to do a quick review on it. I have seen so many people use Nume products so i thought they must be good and i wanted to give some products a try, i had a $100 off discount code for the curl jam set so instead of $199 i payed $99 which i thought was a very good deal. In the set you get a curling wand with 3 different sized barrels and some hair straighteners, they come in black pink and blue but when i purchased it they only had pink so that is what i got. When purchasing the products you have to select what power plug you want because if you need a European plug they send you a adapter which goes on the end however if you're from the US you selects you US option so no adapter is required.

I remember it took a few weeks to arrive which wasn't too bad considering what i payed and it is a US product. I first tried the hair straighteners which if I'm honest i didn't like, I didn't think they straightened my hair as well as my corioliss ones so there was no point in me having another set of straighteners, i have fairly thick hair and normally it takes me about 15 minutes to straighten but it took me forever with this product and my hair didn't feel as silky smooth or shiny as my other products so i ended up throwing these away. 

The curling wand on the other hand is amazing, i get perfect curls out of them and they last for up to 4 days or until the next wash. They also stay in without any type of hairspray which is prefect for me because i have never used hairspray as i don't like how it leaves my hair feeling. I use the medium sized barrel for everyday beachy curls and the smallest barrel for when i needed the curls to last longer and look a bit tighter. I usually put my hair in a ponytail and curl the pony tail so when i take the elastic band out it leaves natural voluminous curls. If i want a more wavy hairstyle i brush out the curls and they last around 2 days whereas if i leave them they can last up to 4 days depending on how often you wash your hair. My hair starts to get greasy after about 2-3 days so that when i washed it however the curls were still fairly tight and could have lasted another 1-2 days.

Overall i absolutely love this product and for $99 which is around £65 i think it is so worth the money. Although i threw away the straighteners i would still pay that money for the curling wand so i didn't think it was a waste, i don't think i would have bought the set if i didn't have the offer because i didn't need the straighteners so i would have preferred to just buy the curling wand.

Thank you for reading
Lots of Love

QUICK UPDATE!

Hello Everyone, I hope you are all ok. Just recently i reached my first 'blogging milestone' of 2000 views which is crazy. I never thought i would get any views when i first started because I'm no way near a professional writer or a makeup artist just a teenager with a passion for beauty and fashion. I love doing this blog and i really hope people like reading it and can get some ideas and tips from it so my next milestone is 5000 views which i know will take time but I'm not stopping blogging any time soon haha! I just wanted to say thank you for anyone who has read and enjoyed my posts and i hope i have helped someone.

Ive decided to schedule when i post to make it easier for me and you the readers. I am going to do a beauty post on a Saturday or Sunday depending on where i am because sometimes i have things on a Saturday but there will definitely be one every weekend! I also want to do a mid week post where i answer questions or show you something I've done that week just for a bonus post, I think I'm going to do it on a Tuesday. It is something i have wanted to do because sometimes i want to share experiences or just tell you a bit about myself so i thought it would be a good idea now I've hit my first milestone.

Also I've been adding and removing things from my blog to make it look better, I've been playing around with it so bare with me until i get it exactly how i want it and if there is anything you recommend me adding to the blog please let me know in the comments.

Thank you for reading and thanks again for '2000'
Lots of Love
