I really loved the E>Swin E>One IPL hair removal device. It was amazing. After just one use acres of previously fallow hair meadowlands became empty-follicled wastelands. But it cost a fortune, and it took so long to set it up and use it that I didn't manage to get it out of the box more than … [Read more...]
Review: The Magic Wand. It’s for your face
By now, my family and friends are fairly used to seeing odd gadgets around my home. But the Magic Wand Facial Massager might just top the list of weird and wonderful review products in my possession. Not least because a few people have mistaken it for a decidedly more naughty vibrating gadget. Or, … [Read more...]
Beurer GS58 Driver: The personal scale heavyweight
As a classic yo-yo dieter, I've hopped on and off my fair share of personal scales over the years. In all honesty, very few of them are what I'd class as 'exciting'. Even fewer are stylish. Beurer is aiming to change all of that. The wellness and health brand has already impressed Europe with … [Read more...]
Shop of the week: Escentual.com
We may be geeks here at Dork Adore, but that doesn't mean we don't know the importance of a good pair of hair tongs, or indulge in some beauty buying on a regular basis (especially beauty gadgets). We're a bunch of chic geeks, after all. But time is tight. Personally, I don't have the patience … [Read more...]

Is the very expensive E>One laser hair removal gadget any good?
There's a constant war of attrition going on between me and my extensive range of body hair. If I'm not epilating, waxing or shaving, I'm probably just leaving it all to lie fallow in the hope that a sudden gust of wind won't reveal the thermal layer of leg hair hidden under my maxi dress. But … [Read more...]
iPulse Smooth Skin: Dork Review
Hair removal. Tedious, time-consuming and occasionally painful. You'd think this would be something evolution would have sorted out for us ladies. I've tried most of the methods out there for defuzzing. A brief dalliance with waxing, epilating and threading tested my (very low) pain threshold to … [Read more...]
Maybelline Pulse Perfection Mascara Review
A little while ago I mentioned a couple of vibrating mascaras that proudly claimed to be the Next Big Thing in the world of cosmetics. Following in the footsteps of the vibrating cleansers (the Neutrogena Wave and the Clarisonic Skin Therapy System) and the vibrating hair straighteners (The Pink … [Read more...]
iMote Kid Friendly Remote Control
Young kids and cable TV is a combination asking for trouble. Sure, it's got a ton of kids channels to keep them occupied, but leaving a child in the possession of the TV controller may lead to them flicking from CBeebies to the far less educational Babestation (or educational in a whole new … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Clarisonic skin therapy system
Reviewing the Neutrogena Wave recently, I realised that while I might not be a big fan of the product in question, I do like the concept. I was approached to test the Clarisonic Plus Skin Care System & Spot Therapy Kit, which works on the face and body. A little more interesting than the … [Read more...]
