Best Beauty Tools

The Best Beauty Tools for 2016

I wanted to share the best beauty tools in my arsenal. These are my tried and true tools that I use on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. This post contains a mix of press samples and products purchased by me.

Best Beauty Tools

Simple Human 5x (8″) and 10x (5″) Magnifying Mirrors
The LED lights on both mirrors are perfect for letting you see true to color makeup. I love these mirrors! I use the large one daily for my makeup. Ray likes to use the smaller one for shaving his face if he doesn’t shave in the shower. They’re both great for travel. They recharge with a USB cord. It also comes in a 7″ size.

Ciaté London Geltox Starter Kit
I bought this kit late last year and I’ve had time to use it once. So far I like it. You must wait until your nail polish is absolutely dry, then you can use it to harden your nails. I wanted it to use with all of my gorgeous indie nail polish. This hels your nails to stay strong.

HAIR

Paul Mitchell Lumina Flat Iron
I bought this flat iron during Black Friday and it is the best flat iron that I’ve ever tried. I use it slowly to smooth my hair and it stays straight until I next wash my hair. It heats up super fast and has an auto shut-off feature. It has a large range of temperatures. I use it on the lowest setting. Plus it’s a blue-purple duohrome. It’s so gorgeous!

Bed Head Deep Waver
I love to use this to add waves to my hair. I’ve had it for years and it’s still my favorite tool for beachy waves. I use it once a month or so because I’m trying to heat style my hair less frequently. See my review.

Conair Infiniti Pro 3Q Hair Dryer
This is my favorite blow dryer! It’s quick and it’s quieter than anything else I own. I use this every time I blow dry my hair, so about every other time I wash my hair. See my review.

FACE & BODY

Michael Todd Soniclear
The Michael Todd Soniclear brush unique in that it has antimicrobial protection. It also uses a patent-pending sonic-wave powered technology to micro-massage away dirt. Ray likes to use it daily on his face. It has two brush heads, so it can be used on the face or body. See my review.

Foreo Luna
The Foreo Luna is a multi-purpose beauty tool. I use it for gently cleaning my sensitive skin and it can help serums to penetrate deeper int the skin. It also has a massage mode, which I use on my face. If I have a sinus headache, this can help to alleviate the headache. You get more than 450 uses from a single charge! Right now I like to use it for facial massage. See my review.

Emjoi Micro Pedi Callus Remover
This is great for smoothing out the rough spots on my feet. Just make sure you put a towel under your feet before you use it. I recommend using it at least once a month. See my review.

  2. The emjoi would be great for my mom, and I’ve been thinking about the Michael Todd, do you think it reduces/helps or gives extra help with pores? Also did a little PChoice haul(as part of my mom’s birthday present the Resist Eye Cream, Foundation, Vitamin C 25%,of course the Exfoliant I use the white one, and also restocked my Skin Balancing Kit as it was 30 dollars off and if you spend over (I think it’s 100) they are giving you twenty dollars off your order, plus tons on sale just fyi. And I will definitely tell my friend about the Forea, she gets both migraines and has sinus issues! Nice to have a good idea on a flat iron too and a great dryer! (Marco’s Leave In is amazing before or after blow-drying and after flat ironing btw!)

    2. So Ray loves the Michael Todd and uses it frequently. I’m not using any of the brushes on my face daily. I think brushes like this DEFINITELY help reduce the appearance of pores because it makes them very clean.

      1. Just seeing and replying to this now I guess I missed it-thanks! Because I’m loving the paula’s choice but really want to work on reducing the pores!

  3. I always wanted to try one of those callous remover things, but never knew which was a good brand. I must check out the emjoi.

    2. Me neither, I wanted one for my mom and I never knew which brand was reputable/the best so I’m happy now!

  5. I’m a sucker for flat irons so I’ll definitely have to check out the Lumina Flat Iron. Especially if it can tame my frizz! Plus, it’s really pretty!

  6. So many of you girls can’t stop talking about that MT Soniclear. Why haven’t I tried it yet? And that Geltox…you can use it with ANY polish?

  7. The Deep Waver looks cool! My hair doesn’t hold curl for crap, but it’ll do waves ok. If I let me y hair dry on it’s own, I have a few waves, but not enough for a good look. This could probably help me fill the gaps and get a decent wavy look without taking too much time.

    1. It works very well (and has worked for me since my hair was around my chin) and is pretty fast if you clip it and work through in sections.

  9. I love my Conair Infiniti dryer so much that I stored my much more expensive one. I’m a big fan of the SonicClear and Foreo Luna too. When I get to the point that I need a new mirror I’m going after that one, it looks perfect.

  11. I have been looking for a new mirror, I need to check this one out. It looks like what I want!!! Thanks for the tips!

  14. Hair tools totally slipped my mind when I wrote my post! Totally would have included the 3Q dryer. It’s the best!

  15. I don’t hardly use any tools for my hair, but I do have a pedi dead skin remover for my feet and it is fantastic. A really great list of tools that work.

  16. That Bed Head Deep Waver is the best thing ever. I have you to thank for that. It’s the only heat styling tool that has any lasting impact on my super-straight hair.

    1. Yes, it’s the only one that won’t irritate super sensitive skin but I only will use it once a week at most. I basically feel like with my sensitive skin I can’t use any of the brushes on my face daily. If you have normal skin, you won’t have an issue.
