I got the one in Platinum, a silver sleek model, with it’s travel cap auto-shut off feature (super cool) and designed just for travel.

Since I was ready for a trip to Los Angeles, I was all excited to try out the new travel iron…

Best part:

This iron heats up super fast once you figure out the little tiny on switch on the inside of the iron.. though this iron didn’t get as hot as others I have (??) it did work smoothing sections of hair around my face, and the travel size was not so small that it didn’t take forever to do the job. This travel size is really more of a medium size if you ask me.

Funny part:

The silver iron with it’s travel cap on top, literally makes the iron look like a, ahem,.. dildo. I kid you not. To the point that I took the cap off when I traveled with it in my carry on so that I wouldn’t be called out on it as I go through security. At first glance, I thought maybe it was just me being weird, but everyone I showed it to said the same thing.. as in ‘oh my god!”.. not quite the reaction you look for when you’re showcasing a new flat iron.

Also, the travel cord is so thick and long, that again, I really wouldn’t call it a travel iron. I can literally straighten my hair from across the room with this thing and lord, try to wrap it up when you’re traveling.. it just doesn’t wrap around the iron very well and easily slips off to make more of a mess in your bag. Not quite travel friendly.

So just forget it’s a travel iron, don’t take it anywhere out in public (ahem!) and you might just like this one.

And for that price, I kinda would wish for an iron that didn’t embarrass me. You know? (hint: get the pink, purple or green one instead..)

$89.99
