I really want an iPad. It's so freakin' nifty. It's like the love child of my iPhone and my Mac laptop. Clearly, I'm a Mac snob (and incidentally, I heart MAC makeup too, so it comes as no surprise that it won a TotalBeauty.com Readers' Choice Award for Best Lipstick) and Steve Jobs et al. never cease to come up with breakthroughs in why-didn't-we-think-of-that technology.

Speaking of, have you heard of the latest beauty breakthroughs? Check out the hot off the press cosmetic ingredients and technologies that will boost your skin in categories like anti-aging, skin brightening, skin hydrating, scar fading -- and there's even vibrating foundation! Can't wait to try that out…

Anti-Aging Treatments: Aveeno Ageless Vitality Elasticity Recharging System, $39.99

This two step system combines a naturally charged biomineral concentrate with a rejuvenating moisturizer formulated with blackberry leaf extract and dill, to restore essential energy to elastin-deficient skin -- restoring a more youthful, awakened look. Read about the cool technology of two more anti-aging products.

Skin Brightening Treatments: Lumixyl, $120 (by prescription only)

Finally, a clinically-proven hyperpigmentation treatment that doesn't contain the potentially-harmful hydroquinone. Developed by dermatologists at Stanford University, this peptide solution restrains tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for initiating the overproduction of melanin (which causes uneven pigmentation and dark spots). See another high-tech illuminating treatment.

Skin Hydrators: Strivectin Instant Moisture Repair, $59

Strivectin's new reparative treatment targets both the symptoms and the sources of dry, aging skin. It uses water-binding osmolytes that act as "water magnets" to actually "attract and hold moisture, depositing it layer-by-layer through the skin." See what happens to your skin in only one hour.

Scar Fader: InviCible Scars, $85

This product helps fade scars using a specially formulated Vitamin C and silicone complex. It claims to work on all scars and pigmentation and it's hypoallergenic. See what's not in this formula that makes it unique.

Vibrating Foundation: Lancome Oscillation Powerfoundation, $48

Lancome's new foundation is a mineral powder that's applied with a vibrating sponge. The company claims the vibration helps the product blend quickly and seamlessly in order to cut down on the lengthy blending time needed with traditional mineral makeup. Read more about this awesome product here.
