The Gadget: Simplehuman Sensor Mirror, $200

What It Is:
This 5X magnifying mirror is modern technology at its best. The lighted mirror turns on automatically as your face approaches it and turns off once you've backed away. (Perfect for those who always forget to turn off their beauty devices.) The mirror runs on a USB charger, so you don't have to be near an outlet, nor are there any too-short or tangled cords to worry about. One charge lasts a full five weeks. And the brighter-than bright lighting system more closely mimics natural sunlight than other mirrors on the market.

What You'll Get:
As someone who tends to wander around the house as she does her makeup, I truly appreciate this cordless mirror that can move with me. The lighting is so much brighter than my old mirror that I've realized some of my foundations are a touch too dark or light. The one downside -- the five times magnification isn't always a plus. Sometimes a girl needs a little distance.

What You'll Save: $40/year
I changed the light bulb in my old makeup mirror about every three months, but with the Simplehuman mirror, you'll never have to change the light bulb -- ever -- unless you're planning on keeping it on for more than 40,000 hours (that's an hour a day every day for more than 100 years). The long-lasting LEDs are supposed to stay as bright as new for that long. While the cost-saving benefits may seem nominal, it's really the hassle of going to the store and actually changing the bulbs that make this no-fuss lighted mirror worth it.

The Gadgets: Amopé Pedi Perfect Electronic Pedicure Foot File, $50
Instrumental Beauty Portable Pedicure, $30

What It Is:
These electronic foot filers use a spinning roller to slough off the dead, callused skin from the bottom of your feet. Just soak your feet for 20-30 minutes (or use after your shower), then gently roll the device over your rough spots for a few seconds on each location.

What You'll Get:
As a former ballet dancer and frequent wearer of high heels, my feet are pretty gnarly, so I wasn't expecting much in the way of drastic results. I was wrong. Both of these files gave me smoother, softer feet after just one use. And even though I have to use them after each shower to maintain that softness, the time commitment is mere minutes -- worth it for baby-soft soles. The Instrumental Beauty device uses a micro-mineral roller, which was slightly softer than the granulated Amopé roller. If your feet are more sensitive or more callused, choose accordingly.

What You'll Save: $180/year
If you get monthly pedicures, an electronic foot filer will cut down your visits to the nail salon by at least half. After all, I still can't paint my toes professionally.

The Gadgets: Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X, $449
Veet Infini'Silk Pro, $50
Iluminage Touch Permanent Hair Reduction, $445

What It Is:
These at-home hair removal devices won't leave you hairless forever (no device will, despite its claims), but they do significantly cut down on maintenance by reducing hair re-growth. And the best part -- all of these are fairly painless, unlike a trip to your waxer.

What You'll Get:
Laser hair removal devices generally work only on light-to-medium skin tones and brown or black hair, but the Iluminage Touch is the first FDA-approved device to work on all skin tones, blonde hair and red hair. If you want to remove hair from a smaller, precise area of the body (we're looking at you, upper lip), the Tria's targeted beam is best. And for bigger areas like your legs, the larger surface area of the Veet device's cartridges speeds up the process, which is at times tediously slow.

What You'll Save: $65/month
That's the average cost women spend on waxing according to dailyworth.com and our helpful chart, that also shows laser hair removal will take the least time over your lifetime compared to shaving or waxing.

The Gadgets: Tanda Zap Acne Spot Treatment, $50
Kathy Ireland ReVive Light Therapy, $169

What It Is:
These devices utilize blue light to eliminate the acne-causing bacteria in your skin, so your blemishes fade and clear, and future breakouts are less likely to occur.

What You'll Get:
Patience is not my strong suit, so standing in front of a mirror holding one of these devices over a blemish for two minutes was pushing my tolerance, but I did notice the inflammation go down almost instantly. I'd recommend either device for someone who battles the occasional breakout, such as with hormonal acne. The Kathy Ireland light device is multi-purpose, as you can swap out different LED light treatment heads for anti-aging and pain relief, but the Tanda works just as well at a lower price point.

What You'll Save: 30 minutes of your day
The combined total of time you steal glances of your reflection and think woe-is-me thoughts about your breakout.

The Gadgets: Clarisonic Sonic Radiance, $249
Foreo Luna, $199
Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush, $90

What It Is:
Cleansing brushes are nothing new, but these devices are the next step up. You've heard cleansing brushes help your products sink in better, clear your complexion and exfoliate your skin better than typical cleansing. But these brushes do even more. You might even rethink the cleansing brush you already own as I did.

What You'll Get:
Clarisonic is known for their cleansing brushes, but one major complaint is the heads are too rough for some sensitive-skinned users. The new Radiance brush head is softer and gentler than the regular heads, and it also works specifically to clear pores of sebum and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Another gentle option is Clinique's Sonic cleansing brush. This head is also gentler than others I've tried, and the smaller size allowed me to cleanse around sensitive areas like my eyes more easily. The angled green tip targets other hard-to-reach areas like the T-zone and around the eyes.

If you're still not sold on cleansing brushes, try the Foreo Luna. This silicone device works in much the same way, but uses T-Sonic pulsations that feel like a miniature facial massage. Use the reverse side of the device, the anti-aging mode, for lower-frequency pulsations on your wrinkle-prone areas: between the eyebrows, across the temples and on your laugh lines.

What You'll Save: $82/year
That's the price of my night cream, serum and eye cream combined, divided by two. Usually I feel like only half the product I use actually sinks into my skin -- not so now that I've started using cleansing brushes.
