Customer Reviews

Good - but not as good as I expected
After hearing by word of mouth how great the CHI iron is and reading the rave reviews on Amazon I had high hopes for this iron. My hair is long, very thick, and very curly. I was using a cheapie Revlon straightener that got hot enough for me, but it would lose heat and I had to go over sections of my hair several times to straighten it. It didn't cause me enough trouble that I wanted to buy another straighter though. Until I found out it's bad to wrap the cord around the iron because it messes up the cord. One morning my old iron sparked at me so I realized it was time for a new one. On a recommendation from my cousin/stylist, my mom, co-workers, etc I was told it was worth it to buy the CHI. So I bought it here expecting to be blown away. Don't get me wrong, it is a good iron, and it does hold it's heat (unlike ANY cheapie irons, even the ones that say they don't lose heat) but I still have to straighten my unruly hair in sections and I still have to go over some sections more than once. So I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. I also now have to blow dry all my hair first and then straigten it all instead of blow drying a section and then straigtening a section because my blow drier and this straigtener both have big plugs. That being said, it does work better than my old straigtener because it doesn't lose heat. I also love the little velcro strap that came on the cord that way I can wrap it up without wrapping it around the iron. Is it worth the money? I guess so because it doesn't lose heat, but it's not the miracle product the rave reviews on here claim it to be. At least not for my hair.

Sweet Dreams Contoured Sleep Mask with Earplugs and Travel Pouch - Black

Product Description

Light as a feather, slim-line and very stylish, the Sweet Dreams Sleep and Relaxation Mask is a molded contoured sleep aid that offers full comfort without any pressure to the eyes. Mask features concave eye pockets to keep the sleep mask away from your eyes and allow for normal blinking and air circulation. Conveniently folds up into a complimentary 4 x 6 satin drawstring pouch with a pair of soft foam Earplugs. Mask Construction: Molded soft foam, surrounded by a polyester interlock fabric. Mask fastens with an adjustable velcro strap Care: Hand wash in cool water. Lay flat to dry.

Decent product:
I'm really sensitive to light when going to sleep, so I've become quite used to wearing blindfolds. These are built out of a nice fabric and will probably last a while. If you have a larger nose, this might still allow some light in around the nose, but it's better than others I've worn. Lastly, because of the contours or bumps around the eyes if you sleep on your side, it might be a little uncomfortable since the bump may fall on the side of your face a little. Overall, it does what it's supposed to.
