Hello there,
Just before Christmas I decided that I was going to start
looking for some items in order to create a harry potter Christmas tree, I knew
it wasn’t going to be possible that year but wanted to prepare for next Christmas. Upon scouring the internet for harry potter
related items I came across the app called Joom, now I would never normally use
these apps as I am always unsure if they are safe or not and after googling for
reviews didn’t really find much out, I did however see that there was the
option to pay through pay pal and having seen so much that I liked at such an
affordable priced decided to but it. If it
wasn’t for the paying through PayPal I would probably have left it but knowing
there was added protection there helped.
I spent about £15 and here’s what I got:
25 small organza bags 67p – I wasn’t disappointed in these
they look like they did in the picture but I’m not 100% sure that I will use
them for the purpose on which I bought but they are still pretty and of decent
quality.
A Harry Potter watch £1.36 – Now I’ll be honest it’s not
the best made watch that there is, I would struggle to tell the time on this
watch but for £1.36 the quality isn’t bad at all for the actual watch. The picture on the watch face is blurry but
again for the price you can’t be too picky.
A set of 6 Matt Liquid Lipsticks £4 – when I opened this I was
certainly surprised to see the Kylie Jenner labelling on as there was no
mention that this was what the product was.
Now I know it’s not real and that is in in fact a fake but decided to
swatch the colours on the back of my hand, these were really pretty but when I
tried to wash them off stained my skin making me decided that I wouldn’t use
them. They also had a strange odour that
again put me off wanting to use them properly.
A pair of Heart Shaped Earrings 43p – I have yet to wear
these but they look like the picture. The
only issue I have with them is that they only have small plastic backs that are
a real pain to put onto the earing its self but I think they will look so
pretty when I do wear them and for 43p I can’t really moan.
Harry Potter Wand Keychain 86p – The issue I had with this
product is you didn’t know which wand you were buying they just sent one
out. It’s pretty decent quality and will
do the job of tree ornament just fine so happy me.
Harry Potter Rowena Ravenclaw lost diadem necklace 94p – This is fairly decent quality. I wouldn’t wear it out myself but to use on my tree is perfect!
Platform 9 ¾ key ring 86p – when this came it wasn’t at all
what I expected rather than being flat like I had thought it was it came with a
clear dome over it. Brilliant for on my tree
though so happy again.
Harry potter liquid luck vial necklace 86p – Again impressed
with this item it came and looked just like the picture and will be perfect for
my tree.
Tom Riddles Ring 39p – I will use this on my tree but I think
I might try and hide it at the back as it is very poorly made but for the price
of it I should have known that it wouldn’t look that amazing.
Harry potter themed bangle 86p – I really like this and can’t
wait to wear it! It feels a lovely quality and that I could wear it for hours without
it being irritating (whether that’s true or not will be tested when I actually
wear it)
Deathly Hallows sign neckalce 53p – This again is fine and
brilliant for me tree, I can imagine this one is easy for the manufactures to
mass make hence the low price. I also
got this on special offer with so much knocked off (its original price was £1)
Golden snitch necklace 57p – I’m not impressed with this
one, although does look like a snitch the quality is very poor, I will use it
on my tree but along with the ring will probably be placed near the back.
Overall I found my experience with Joom a fairly positive
one. If you don’t mind waiting a fair
while for delivery (most of mine took 3 weeks) then have a look, just maybe don’t
but and cosmetics from their as who knows what could be in them. They also have offers on where items are the ‘deal
of the hour’ so you get them cheaper. I have
just ordered another batch of items, fingers crossed they all come ok.
Do you recommend anywhere for harry potter products?
