11 Time Saving Beauty Gadgets

For the busy mum-to-be

We get it. You’re pregnant: you don’t have time to faff around beautifying yourself (not that you need to, of course). That’s why we’ve come up with a list of time saving gadgets that will shave ages off your regime.

First up, get those pearly whites even brighter with the Pro Light Whitening System by Luster Premium White (£45.91, Amazon). Twice as fast as traditional teeth whitening strips and trays, this package will help you achieve enviable gnashers in three easy steps.

L(A)B’s Teeth Whitening Kit (£69.99, currentbody.com) makes it so easy to get your teeth up to 11 shades lighter with the simple push of a button.

Give your face a deep cleanse with the Luna Mini skincare device by Foreo (£99, Boots). The pulsating, silicone brush removes impurities in the skin to leave a healthier-looking, more radiant complexion. It takes just a minute and should be used twice a day.

Alternatively, try Clarisonic’s Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System (£99). In just one minute, this little star removes more makeup and dirt from your face than a manual cleanse would.

And if that’s not enough, maybe this 60 Seconds Facelift kit by Rio is for you (£80, Very). The system offers two treatments to tone, lift and rejuvenate your skin.

If getting rid of hair is your goal, you simply must try No!No!’s new Pro 3 device (£210, Harrods). Remove hair instantly and painlessly with long lasting results.

If you’re trying to keep your hair, Toni&Guy’s Professional Heated Extreme Volume rollers will have you red carpet ready in no time (£60, Debenhams). Designed to protect your hair and colour, the rollers heat up in less than two minutes.

BaByliss’ Curl Secret (£120, Selfridges) creates beautiful, free flowing curls effortlessly with long lasting effect. It also comes with a handy heat protection mat to protect surfaces while styling.

Whether your hair is long or short, T3’s BodyWaver Professional Curling Iron (£125, Space NK) will give you waves, volume and shine, all with a frizz-free finish.

Don’t touch that mascara until you’ve used Blinc’s Heated Lash Curler (£19.50, feelunique.com). Shape your lashes with ease in seconds – even the tiniest, hard to reach ones. It’s so small, you can carry it in your purse.

When it’s time to sharpen your trusty makeup pencils, Benefit’s Dual Pencil Sharpener (£4) won’t let you down. Customer reviews swear they’ve had theirs for years and that it’s the sharpener to have.
