The Super-Duper Corioliss C2 Straighteners
Review of Corioliss Titanium C2 Straighteners by

Advantages: Great perfomance, variable heat, styles as well as straightens, funky looks
Disadvantages: Price might put some off, lack of high-street availability, cleaning the plates
...print Corioliss C2 Titanium straighteners from Sally's Beauty Supply. She said the straighteners were brilliant, variable temp, curls and waves too, antibacterial action, smooth design and function.

Shiny, shiny
I got my new Corioliss C2's home (red leopard print) and immediately plugged them in. In the box there are the actual straighteners, a little book with howtos, info and 'green Corioliss' initiatives. The red leopard print is a funky and bright, but there are other finishes available.

Advantages: Large water tank, Speedy, Compact, Easy to customise and use
Disadvantages: Body finish could be better for the price; Brew unit (plastic) is not very sturdy

Although the new Gaggia Titanium has been out for at least a few months there don't seem to be any reviews of it yet, so I hope this is of help. I was in 2 minds whether to plump for this model or the slightly cheaper Gaggia Synchrony Digital Compact. The main reason the Titanium won was because the water tank was double the size of the Compact, the look was better, and the features were improved. One of the other differences between these two models is the Titanium has an "active" cup-warmer whereas the Compact has a "passive" cup-warmer. Active means it has it's own heater, not just the heat from the machine.
So - on with the review. Set...

The Bad point. There is no indication as to whether it is fully charged or how much charge is left in the unit but I have seen the higher grade model and it does so that may be a reason why this is the cheaper option. Does that mean that my mother didn't think I was worth the extra...
