Romi Digital Foundation, $89.95 In this high-tech-obsessed world, it was only a matter of time before foundation went digital. This handheld device helps you flawlessly apply foundation thanks to the automatic stippling technique (similar to a patting motion) it uses. In one minute it dispenses 5,000 gentle pats to distribute an all-in-one primer, foundation, concealer, and powder to your skin without a cakey or uneven finish. You can choose from among three shades and each kit comes with two months' worth of foundation and three sponge heads.

I did commit to John Frieda in 2012; some of these I will use when I win the lottery.

A little too expensive for me for for half of these prices i can buy something better and still have money left over.

Still some items here I need to try

This article should have been more diverse...just because something is expensive doesn't mean it's a great "breakthrough" product.

I can see why some of these products are on the list if no one has reviewed them. but i dont know why they would list products that have below a 5 rating.

Estee Lauder is the most interesting mention in the article considering it is more affordable. Better beauty for less money!

The Estee Lauder foundation is something I'd like to try. I do have the TopStyler, as well as the InStyler, but I did not pay $130 for either item. Both were about $90 when I bought them and these items absolutely work. I'll never use a flat iron again!!

ok article I'd like to see how the topstyler works....

I'd like to try the Romi.

some of the makeup sounds ridiculous, but i'll be keeping an eye on reviews for the hair products. as a lifelong highest-heat curling iron girl, i welcome a change that will be less damaging... and easy.
