So our high hopes as children that by the year twenty-ten we’d all be riding hover boards to work, have our own personal robot catering to our every whim, and have access to some kind of fountain of eternal youth may not have come to fruition, but we do have access to all matter of super high-tech, whiz-bang products to simplify our beauty routines and save us some serious cash (and visits to the beauty salon).
We bring you our top six super hard-working grooming gizmos and gadgets to have you looking professionally preened everyday with minimal effort.
The wrinkle-busting, skin-reviving, handheld LED device…
1. Omnilux Handheld New U
Finally- a DIY handheld LED device has been released which delivers
actual results. The Omnilux new-U uses Light Emitting Diodes to
stimulate natural anti-ageing skin processes and improve skin tone and
clarity. Suitable for anyone with sun damaged skin, or fine lines and
wrinkles, the light stimulates natural processes that continue even
after the treatment ceases. You can expect results between 4-8 weeks of
treatment. A little exxy, but SO completely worth it!
RRP $690. Available at Myer and David Jones stores nationally.
For DIY red carpet-chic, Hollywood curls…
2. MyCurl My Luxe Style
Want uber-glam red carpet-ready waves sans a trip to the hair salon? Well you will most definitely fall hair over heels for this super smart little product. Simply place hair into a side part, roll two MyCurls vertically into hair on either side of the face and secure the first strap. Continue rolling the MyCurls to just above cheekbones and secure second strap. Then, clamp your hair straightener over each MyCurl for 10 seconds. Allow hair to cool, remove the MyCurls, shake out the root area and voila- ultra-chic, Hollywood-esque hair in a flash! We love!
RRP $89.00. Go to www.mycurl.me for stockist info.
The professional-calibre, super deep cleaning handheld cleansing device…
3. Clarisonic Classic Cleansing System
This high-tech, battery-operated little device has garnered a cult celeb following boasting A-list fans by the likes of Jessica Alba, Madonna, Oprah and more- for its super deep cleansing abilities. Using a gentle sonic micro-massage action, it gently cleans pores without harsh abrasion or chemicals, and is proven to remove six times more makeup than manual cleansers. Continued use reduces the appearance of open pores, and fine lines and wrinkles, and improves skin tone for sparkling clean skin!
The Clarisonic Classic RRP $329. Available from David Jones, Myer and leading pharmacies nationally.
The 360-degree hydrating massager that brightens up and de-puffs the eye area…
4. Aquasource Eye Perfection
There seems to be a plethora of new under-eye brighteners on the market at the moment, but none are quite as advanced as Biotherm’s new Aquasource Eye Perfection. As the first 360-degree hydrating massager, the triple action roller-ball applicators engage energy flow between three pressure points, which intensifies the gel-formula’s ability to kick dark circles to the curb and diminish puffiness in the eye area. It’s kind of like a full eight hours sleep in a convenient little tube!
RRP $68. Available at selected Myer stores and pharmacies
The DIY gadget that kicks cellulite to the curb and firms up those wobbly bits…
5. Beauty Mouse (used with Dermaquest Dermafirm anti-cellulite cream)
Not to be confused with a computer mouse, this little gadget is embedded with 480 super-fine micro needles, which is designed to be rolled over cellulite-prone areas to help stimulate microcirculation, and deliver active substances deep into the skin. When used in conjunction with the Dermaquest Dermafirm anti-cellulite cream, you will notice firmer skin in around four weeks time. Genius!
Beauty Mouse $285 Dermaquest DermaFirm $150 Ph) 1300 799 709
For him: for that rugged and seriously sexy stubble effect…
6. i-trim Stubble + Facial trimmer
Forget completely clean-shaven. Here at RESCU, we love our men to look a little more rugged, rather than baby-faced smooth. Think Brad Pitt BEFORE he took things a little too far and grew that beard. The i-trim Stubble + is specially designed to help your man maintain a short, shadow stubble effect, or even a stronger, more rugged look with ease- infact, it offers 74 precision cutting lengths! This little gadget will look incredibly slick on any vanity!
RRP $102.95. Available at all leading department stores nationally.
