Firstly, I ordered the NuMe Curl Jam Set (original price $250.00) by using a coupon code I got from the YouTuber missglamorazzi (You can find it in this video Here) - Because ain't nobody got two hundred and fifty dollars to spend on hair tools.
It took them a little over two weeks just to ship it. Once I received the shipping confirmation e-mail it took another week to receive it - basically shipping speed was sub par at best.
The actual set:
The set comes in a wrap type soft case with slots for all the components (SUPER handy for travel) and includes a heat protection glove. For some reason I also received a styling comb, which I tried to use once and found it to be completely pointless, unless there's some magic trick I haven't heard of..

Flat Iron - Not going to lie I definitely use this flat iron more often then my (overpriced) CHI flat iron because I absolutely love it! It has yet to damage or burn my hair and the temperature control allows for adjusting the heat settings to your hair type and thickness. I only have to go over strands of hair once and my hair stays entirely straight until I wash it, it doesn't have the greatest performance in humidity but that can easily be fixed with any frizz tamer spray, I recommend this one.
Curling Wand:
The curling wand comes with three different size barrels:
3/4" - For Taylor Swift type tight curls
1" - Looser, everyday type curls (my personal favourite)
1-1/4" - For loose waves
Overall, this curling wand is great; it definitely allows you to get the most "bang for your buck" because you can create so many diverse looks. As aforementioned the 1" barrel is my favourite and is what I use for my hair most days, sometimes the curls can be a little tight for that effortless look but if you hold off on the hair spray for a couple hours they fall perfectly and I know I always get tons of compliments. The largest barrel does wonders if you're trying to create that VS Angel bombshell hair (This can also be done super quickly!) and the smallest barrel gives pretty tight curls so I don't use it as often as the other two.
In general, I think these are great! Like the flat iron they don't damage or burn your hair at all and you only have to go over your hair once for curls that last at least two days. The only flaws that I've found is that the wand itself (not the barrels) feels a like its made out of pretty cheap plastic and that it doesn't have a temperature gauge; so whether you want it or not it gets hot as eff. That being said if you're new at using a curling wand I definitely recommend using the heat protection glove that comes with the set as I personally have acquired a few battle wounds from sleepy mornings.
