Honestly, it depends on a few things. I have heard good things about Pandora, but I personally used Tiffany. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.

Not worth the risk in my experience. Spend a little more and buy from a real store.

Let me break this down clearly. This is totally normal. Mine did the same thing for the first month then settled.
