A few years ago it seemed impossible, but slowly they are starting to become as popular as any other beauty product. Science has evolved and gadgets, which seemed to belong to a distant future, are already part of our daily routine. We went to test some of them.

A few years ago it seemed impossible, but slowly they are starting to become as popular as any other beauty product. Science has evolved and gadgets, which seemed to belong to a distant future, are already part of our daily routine. We went to test some of them.

Promises: to dry and style the hair, at the same time, without damaging it. Vogue's word: here is a truly revolutionary tool. It seems impossible, but until today no one had thought of inventing a hair straightener that could simultaneously dry and straighten hair. Until ghd labs achieved what seemed unattainable with the AirFusionTM technology, which combines the power of air with the performance of thermal plates for a smooth, soft, and shiny result - a unique combination of state-of-the-art, advanced internal aerodynamic technology and four intelligent plates that dry and straighten hair effectively. The result is remarkably straight, shiny, and frizz-free hair in much less time - and for much longer. Miracle? Maybe, but apparently there's also a lot of science in the mix...

Promises: to redefine pleasure and ensure sexual well-being. Vogue's word: it's the latest release from Satisfyer, and promises to be (another) success, but in these things of sexual pleasure it's all a matter of tastes... The shape of this vibrator makes it easy to use, and in addition, all its functions are quite intuitive, like the soft and comfortable silicone tip. However, due to the extreme sensitivity of the skin in the area where it is to be used, it is advisable to use lubricant to enhance the experience. Its eleven (!) modes, combined with the fact that it can be submerged in water, diversify the ways of using it, causing different types of sensations and ensuring that each user can use it according to her preferences. Last but not least: the app is user friendly and intensifies the whole experience, by providing new limits and breaking barriers when it comes to orgasms and can even be used remotely... with other partners.

Promises: to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles under the eyes. Vogue's word: the eyes, in addition to being the mirror of the soul, are probably one of the areas of the body that most shows our age. As the years go by, the inevitable wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles tend not to disappear, and it's almost impossible to hide that our skin is no longer so young and luminous. However, there are products that can help reverse that process, like this eye mask, which looks like something out of a science fiction movie. It is a device with dual microcurrent technology and anti-aging LED light - which improves microcirculation and promotes collagen synthesis to reduce wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles - that is completely safe and ideal to use at home. For best results, use three times a week for the first month, and then only once or twice a week.

Promises: to exfoliate and eliminate dead skin cells, reduce the appearance of ingrown hairs and revitalize the skin. Vogue's word: We all long for those days when we cut ourselves off from the outside world and dedicate to just one thing - ourselves. Those moments of self-care take on a new meaning with the arrival of the LUNA 4 body, the new revolution from FOREO, which has already accustomed us to novelties that change (for the better) our beauty routine. This small body device cleans, exfoliates, and tones the skin. So far, mission accomplished. But there's more: it is also committed to stimulating microcirculation and lymphatic drainage, relaxing muscle tension points and eliminating toxins thanks to the draining massage. This second part will have to be proven with more regular use, but it is undeniable that this product (much due to its ergonomic shape) manages to take personal care to a higher level.
