8 Gimmicky Beauty Products That Actually Work

These products live up to the hype
If you've ever been to an esthetician, chances are they've used a high-frequency machine on you. This at-home version uses electric currents to kill bacteria, stimulate circulation and eliminate breakouts. With this device, you don't have to pay $80 for a facial just to get that sweet three to five minutes of stimulation. This device can be used in the comfort of your own home and, after continued use, a clearer complexion is within reach.

If you've ever tried glue-on nails, you've surely experienced a few of them popping off at inopportune times. On top of the humiliation, you're also left with nails that are less than on-point after removal. Static Nails set out to change all that. The product claims to be non-damaging to the nails and can be reused multiple times — something we can attest to after testing them out.

When you've screwed up your hairstyle and need a do-over, or if you just need some added hydration for your strands, hair water is for you. Spray the fine mist and add instant moisture back into hair, calm down hair that may have been over-curled or remove annoying creases when using a flat iron. Revolutionary!

After trying the Beautyblender, there was really no going back to sponges that tried to impersonate the original. Then Sephora came out with this aesthetically pleasing gemstone sponge set and we knew we needed to give them a try. Much to our surprise, they did just as good a job of applying our foundation and cream products (sorry, Beautyblender) — and for a lot less money.

After years of working in the beauty industry, I've rarely come across a mask that purifies the skin and nourishes simultaneously — that's what double masking is for, right? After trying this product, I was so impressed that I've used the mask religiously for the past two months. Thanks to bamboo charcoal, you get the pore-cleansing results, but because of the golden wildflower and fermented honey, your skin is nourished at the same time. Talk about a multitasker!
