Cupid Found His Mark!
Cupid's Kiss has been the first vibrator I've used that actually makes me want to take my time and go nice and slow. While I don't find that Cupid does the trick if I want a quick release, if I want a thorough orgasm that leaves me feeling completely satisfied Cupid is my go to vibe. If it wasn't for the drag of the material I'd give Cupid 5 stars.

Pros
powerful vibrations, waterproof, ridges offer nice stimulation
Cons
material has quite a bit of drag
Cupid's Kiss from Shaki Toys, "Kiss of Hero" as the packaging calls it, is a TPR vibrator (although the packaging calls it 100% silicone) made in China. I only bring this up because the packaging is rather amusing since not all of the translations work out correctly. The packaging is pretty informative though, it tells you about the different vibration functions, that it's waterproof and how to take care of your new toy. It also reminds you to "Enjoy your Happy Life Everyday", which I think we could all stand to be reminded of from time to time. While the packaging is interesting, and informative, it's not discreet really. You can see the vibe through the front, and it clearly states that it's a sex toy and a vibrator, which you'd be able to tell anyway from the look of Cupid's Kiss.
Cupid's Kiss is a slightly darker than bumble-gum pink, with rings around the shaft that are smaller on the back and then as they move towards the front get larger and almost give it a shell like appearance. There's a solid shaft underneath the TPR, but the TPR has enough cushion to it that it's not exactly hard to the touch. The tip is completely squishy with no core under it. Cupid is 7.8" long and 1.5" in diameter. It's a lot smaller at the tip and gets larger as you work your way down the ridges. The ridges give just enough stimulation, without being uncomfortable at all. I'd say that the Cupid's Kiss has a medium size to it, large enough to be filling, but not so big that it requires a lot of work to insert and it would be suitable for both beginners and experienced users. I find it funny that the packaging talks about how it's a "mini" vibrator and part of their "mini" line. I don't find this to be a mini vibe, but perhaps their standard line is something I would consider "large" or "giant".
I have to say that I am pretty in love with Cupid's Kiss. Cupid might not look realistic, but the feel from inserting the Cupid and thrusting gently was rather similar to a real penis would be. Well, that is if a penis could vibrate with deep rumbling vibrations! There are 8 different types of vibration on this vibe and each of them are the deep, throbbing kind, nothing buzzy. Pretty impressive for just 2 AA batteries.
The vibrations are:
1. low steady vibration
2. medium steady vibration
3. strong steady vibration
4. roller coaster
5. slow pulsation
6. fast pulsation (very powerful)
7. super strong steady vibration
8. Random (mix of all the vibration patterns)
Another way that Cupid's Kiss aims to please is by joining you for some fun in the water. The vibe is fully waterproof, with a nice screw on cap with an o-ring. Even the control button has no seams and is just a part of the TPR on the cap. The vibrations carry nicely in the water, and the sound of a shower might help to mask some of its sound. On low and medium Cupid is rather quiet, it can't be heard through a closed door. On high and the super high setting it's rather loud though, although when there is pressure on the shaft (like from being inserted) a lot of that sound is quieted. It's not something that would be heard through a closed door while it's inserted, but if you will be using it for external stimulation it does sound something like a small appliance.
When using Cupid's Kiss you probably want to use some lubricant to help with the glide. The material has quite a bit of drag to it, and while it can be inserted without lubrication I find it can cause a bit of discomfort from the friction. You should always use a waterproof lubricant with TPR/Silicone as silicone lubricant would react negatively with the silicone in the material. The material is also pretty easy to clean, just use some mild soap and warm water or a toy cleaner. I'm not completely sure if the vibe is 100% silicone as the packaging suggests, since Eden says it's TPR Silicone. So, that being said I would say that this is slightly porous but phthalate-free. There is no scent or taste to the material either. It does pick up lint, dust, etc. though so I recommend keeping it in the plastic it came in. This is also a good way to keep it away from other toys that contain silicone so that they do not melt into each other.

Experience
I like to use Cupid's Kiss for vaginal stimulation and then a bullet for clitoral stimulation. If you want to just use Cupid, you can get some clitoral stimulation if you slide the toy in and out and while on the out rub Cupid down the length of your clitoris. I preferred to just use slighter thrusts though with a bit of rocking, and so used a bullet. I found it was really nice to put Cupid on a pulsation setting and then a bullet on steady vibration. The combination of the two was pretty intense. The random setting also worked nice like this since it would change the inner sensations slightly at random while I still maintained the steady vibration on my clit. Usually I can't fully orgasm with a pattern, so this is kind of the best of both worlds since I can do both if I use the bullet too.
It took me a bit longer to come to climax with Cupid than some other toys take, but I found it was a much more satisfying orgasm when it did come. I felt afterward similar to the way I feel after a session with my husband. Which is saying quite a lot because I don't normally get that with just toys. Cupid doesn't really reach my g-spot, the curve of the head is so slight, and the shaft doesn't bend any. Even without g-spot stimulation I greatly enjoy using Cupid's Kiss.
I didn't really like Cupid for fast thrusts, and for this reason I prefer to keep the Cupid for my solo times. I found a slower, more gentle approach gives me a better feel with Cupid and that's just not how I usually play with toys with my husband. You can thrust Cupid rapidly though, the texture isn't enough to really hinder that. I just didn't feel that I got the most from Cupid that way.

Follow-up commentary
3 months after original review
I still do like the Cupid Kiss, but I don't use it often anymore. There's just toys that I've found to work better for me since trying the Cupid Kiss. One reason it doesn't get used as much is the material. The TPR is quite draggy and I need to be pretty well lubricated to use this. This is one of the only toys that I ever find the need to reapply lubricant on. While I don't use it often, I think it's a great value and someone who is newer to vibrators might really enjoy this one. Compared to something like Jelly, TPR is pretty safe. It also has quite a bit of power to it and the price is very reasonable.
