While I have run into a few problems with this vibe, I have to say that it has brought me many orgasms. It is very powerful. I can't tell you enough how high pitched and buzzy the vibes are. It is very easy on the eyes, but may not be very easy on your sensitive areas. It really depends on the person and their body. If you love these types of vibrations, I say go for it.

Pros
Waterproof, Cute colors and crystals, Would make a great gift, 3 speeds
Cons
The high pitched and buzzy vibes may irritate some
The Crystal Chic vibe is a longer than usual bullet. The vibes are great for nipple stimulation, and it obviously is made to satisfy the clit. When traveling over my sides and more sensitive parts of my body, it sometimes tickled me. The vibes are very high pitched and buzzy. There are no deep vibrations here. This toy is perfect for beginners, because it is cute and not intimidating. Plus, you can bring it in the shower with you for some water play. It is perfect for solo sessions and foreplay with a partner. This is one hell of a toy. This would make a perfect gift. However, it can't be used for anal penetration. There is not a safe flared base. You can of course use the vibes to tease the anus. I do not feel comfortable putting this in my butt, so I can't recommend that to others.
This toy is made out of plastic. It has a velvet coating to it. This makes it very soft, and yes velvety to the touch. The push button on the bottom is made of a rubber material. The packaging also states that the crystals are real, but they do not say what kind of crystals they are. Plastic is very easy to care for. Warm water and antibacterial soap or toy cleaner are all that are needed to clean this toy. The velvet like feel does give it a matte texture. It feels heavenly on my sensitive areas. Other than that, this toy is smooth. Plastic is non porous and rigid. It has no give to it at all. Plastic also works well with your favorite water or silicone based lubes.
This magic wand comes in white, black, or pink. I bought it in the pink, and it is a pretty vivid pink. If you need something more discreet, or you just don't like pink, the other colors are great choices as well. While this sort of looks like a magic wand of some kind, it still looks like a vibrator. In my opinion, it is mildly discreet. It has a total length of 5 1/4", with an insertable length of 3 3/4". The diameter measures around 5/8". This is very beginner friendly. While you can use this toy for vaginal penetration, it was just way too short and thin for my tastes. The extra length made it real easy for me to find that one spot that made my thighs quiver. The design is absolutely gorgeous. I was torn between the colors, and the crystal immediately caught my eye. This toy is small enough to easily travel with, and hide from prying eyes.
There is a convenient battery compartment for easy battery insertion and removal.
This little waterproof bullet delivers some of the most high pitched vibrations that I have ever felt. The vibes are located primarily in the tip. There are the classic low, medium, and high speeds. To turn it on simply push the button that is located on the bottom of the battery cap. To turn off you have to cycle through all three vibration levels. I found the push button to be very sensitive. I barely pushed it, and it turned on. If you are traveling, you might want to take the batteries out to prevent it from turning on. This vibe worked wonders in the shower. It does have an O ring to prevent water from leaking into the battery compartment. The noise factor is what might turn people off. The low setting is not loud at all, but I can't say the same for the other two levels of vibrations. I could hear it even through covers and a closed door. If you have the television going or a fan, it does help drown out the noise. The highest level of vibration can sometimes numb my clit area, or cause some slight irritation after using it. The Crystal Chic vibe is in no way a battery guzzler. I have had a set of rechargeable batteries last me about two weeks of pretty vigorous use.
As stated above, warm water and antibacterial soap or toy cleaner can be used to clean this vibe. Water and silicone based lubes are compatible with this toy. You do not need to worry about storage when it comes to this one. Plastic plays well with other materials. I store it next to my silicone toys. I do not have to store it in its' own bag. While plastic is not porous, I would still recommend using a condom if you are going to share this one.
This toy comes in a plastic mold tray inside of a plastic box. The plastic box has a window for viewing this gorgeous vibe. On the box are some interesting facts about the toy. Waterproof, powerful, and genuine crystals are written on the front and back. The box also states that this vibe has a 7 hour run time on high and a 14 hour run time on low. As with most California Exotic products, they tell you to wash before and after each use. You can keep this for storage, but I like recycling instead.
I was so worried about the vibes being way too high pitched for me, but I easily reached orgasm with this toy. As said above, I sometimes found it to be too much sometimes. It either numbed my clit, or I experienced some irritation after I had used it. While this did not happen very often, it happened enough for me to give it four stars instead of five. I have never experienced irritation or numbness with any of the vibrators that I have until this one. I would not recommend this to someone who knows that they like deep vibrations, or who have extremely sensitive skin. It could very easily cause you irritation. I have had an orgasm almost every time with this toy, and I enjoy using it most of the time. It has made its' place in my toy collection.
Follow-up commentaryI don't like it anymore7 months after original review
After I wrote my review, I got my first run in with a toy with deep vibrations. I have never looked back. After feeling deep vibrations, I could not use this high pitched, buzzy baby. I still think it is a nice toy for the beginner, but I have simply outgrown it.
