Forget spring, we are in what should be called, by rights, pre-summer, because that's what spring really is; a slow exhalation before the main event. And in beauty terms, that means we start to turn our attentions to the big guns of the beauty world. And by big guns, I mean the things that require electricity. Or batteries. Or a plug socket. Those things that immediately have you thinking that you're taking your life in your own hands. 

That's right, beauty gadgets are scary. They're a world away from a pair of tweezers or an eyelash curler. And yet, the good ones have the power to totally transform our beauty habits; our teeth, our hair, our skin, ourselves really.

So, to take us by the hand and lead us into the gadget wilderness, I've enlised the help of nine of the UK's leading beauty bloggers. These women have carved entire careers out of knowing what's what in the beauty world. They know what they're talking about.
