Not exactly a techy gadget, but I think every Gadgenista should have one!

Especially during nowadays with the economic recession, we don’t exactly have the leisure of spending our well-earned moolah on salon manicures and pedicures.

The Grip and Tip Holder can keep our nail polish bottles steady, prevent spills and keep both hands free!

We can concentrate more on keeping our manicures perfect!

I love going to the spa to have a manicure and a pedicure. If I could do it every single weekend, I would.

But at times like these, especially with how economy is, going to the spa every single weekend is quite sinful.

So, the next best thing is just have a do-it yourself manicure and pedicure! Of course, there’s always the fast-dry nail coat polish but having a really cute Blow Monkey Nail Dryer can help speed up the process!

Again, why a monkey?

I’ve definitely heard of the make-up tip that keeping your cosmetics inside a refrigerator lengthens it’s life span.

But this is the first time I’ve heard of a make-up or cosmetic fridge!

Korean manufacturer IDOCI is releasing a small refrigerator specifically designed for storing cosmetics. The unit will keep eyeliner, blush, rouge, lipstick, war paint, and fake blood in “the ideal 8 – 12 degree Celsius (46 – 53 Fahrenheit) range.” Not only that, each fridge has an interior light. – Geekologie

The refrigerators come in different colors, too. Like lime green, purple, white and hot pink. No word on how much it’s going to cost. But I’m pretty sure it’s going to be expensive.

Do you use contact lenses? I wanted to start wearing contact lenses until I remember why I stopped wearing them in the first place.

First, it’s a hassle to put them on in the morning especially when you’re in a hurry. Second, it’s a hassle to clean them every week and third, you have to replace them every 1-3 months, depending on what kind of contacts you get!

But anyway, if you’re a contact lens user, I’m sure you’d find the Countact Lens Case useful (or not!)

The Countact Lens Case features a simple blacklit LCD display which will show how many days your current set of contacts have been worn. It does require the user to remember to press a ‘counter’ button every time they change their contact lenses, but the lens case will do the rest by not only keep tracking of how long it’s been, but alerting you when it’s time to replace your lenses. – OhGizmo!

Comes in packs of 4 cases and each case’s non-replaceable battery powered display will last for 3 months!

It took us like 5 minutes before we figured out how this little gadget works, hehe.

We thought it had like a curling mechanism which rotates and curls your eyelash, but apparently it works like a curling iron!

The wand heats up and you brush your eyelash upward for it to curl.

I personally find it more effective to curl your eyelash with a normal eyelash curler first, then brush it with this eyelash to sort of soften the crimped part.

Oh, and if ever you guys plan to get one of these… careful with the wand because they become too hot! You can either burn your eyes, or fry your eyelashes so use in moderation!

I find this curler most effective than most especially when paired with my Shu Uemura curler! It makes my eyelash look thicker (even without mascara!) and it actually de-clumps your eyelash, making them more spread out… What I don’t like about it is, the chances of you burning your eye and frying your lash. Hahahaha.

Well, obsessive Gadgenistas, our problems are solved!

The Handler, also acting as a keychain can help us refrain from touching those yucky door handles!

And the special thing about this little gadget is that it has nano silver particles that will actually electrocute germs!

It would have been better if it had a better design! A touch of color would do! Pink, maybe? Or even a touch of Swarovski would be nice, hehehe.

I know a lot of people who’ve tried to quit smoking but ends up with a ciggy stick in their mouths a couple of hours later.

Yes, smoking is a very hard habit to kick and even though there are nicotine-replacements readily available in gums and patches, nothing beats smoking a real cigarette

So for those Gadgenistas (and everyone else) desperately trying to quit smoking, I think you guys will love this!

The first e-cigarette!

A battery-powered nicotine inhaler that looks like a real cigarette and even has real smoke!

It’s like smoking for real without all the bad stuff!

This e-cigarette is made in China by Golden Dragon Group Ltd and sold for 1600 yuans or $200.

This is probably one of the best tool out there that can help in quitting cigarette smoking! Mighty pricey, but if it’ll help you keep healthy, why not? Health is wealth!

If the other day I was wondering if there was any tool that could make my make-up brush routine cleaning more hassle-free, today I’m thinking if there was any gadget that would make my nail cleaning easy as pie!

And I found one!

Jilbere De Paris Satin Smooth Nail PROfiler!

I wouldn’t mind having one of these as random gifts during Christmas or my birthday.

I just hate having to manually file my nails. Don’t you?

The filing hand gets all crampy and tired after filing one or two nails.

I’d prefer to go to a salon to have my nails done, but juggling a day job, a boyfriend and other extra-curricular activities takes up a lot of time!

So this Jilbere De Paris Sating Smooth Nail PROfiler is the perfect solution!

Plunk yourself in front of your tv and let the motor filer do the job!

Get perfectly shaped nails in seconds!

And the best thing is, it comes with 5 interchangeable snap-ons! And I swear, it think it comes with a buffer!

Shiny, perfect shaped nails, here I come!

The over-all packing isn’t all that cute and trendy, but I still want one

I have to dip the brush in water, swirl it, clean it with shampoo, rub a bit, rinse until the water dripping is clear, rub with conditioner to keep it soft, rinse again, squeeze out excess water then leave out overnight to dry.

And this is just for ONE brush. I have to do that whole process again for the other brushes.

I’m supposed to clean my brushes atleast once a week, but since the whole process takes forever, I get lazy and do it only once a month. I know, I know, it’s so unhygienic!

So it makes me wonder, there should be a gadget that makes brush-cleaning easier right?

And this is what Google came up with!

The Artist’s BrushMate Brush Cleaner!

It’s not exactly made for make-up brushes, though. But I think it should do the job. (I *really* can’t believe there’s no gadget made specifically for cleaning make-up brushes!)

Plug it in, fill it with water or your make-up brush cleaner solution, stick in your brush and the rotating bristles will clean your brush for you!

It’s something every Gadgenista should have!
