Since the dawn of Goop, beauty gadgets like jade rollers and facial tools have become as acceptable and accessible as an iPhone. And some are equally revolutionary. To find out whether they're really worth the hype, I found myself testing four beauty gadgets to see how they felt, what they did (if anything) for my skin and their value for money. But, what I didn’t expect was to have a life-affirming moment with a jade roller (that may or may not be made of real jade). Lanshin describes its adorable silicone-covered porcelain tool as "a hot stone massage in the palm of your hand"—and they're not wrong. When filled with warm water and used in conjunction with body oil, the heated octopus-like vessel feels incredibly relaxing against tense areas across your body.I developed [the device] with the intention of mirroring the massage techniques used in my signature facials,” say Nurse Jamie, whose client roster includes A-listers like the Kardashians and January Jones. “It’s been over 20 years of taking care of the most famous faces in Hollywood that led me to developing this beauty tool.” How Do You Use the Nurse Jamie Uplift? Unscrew the battery cover and insert the AA battery. Screw the battery cover on tightly. Press the button on the bottom of the battery cover. Press the button again to turn the tool OFF. On clean dry skin apply a small amount of Nurse Jamie body cream, face cream, oil or your favorite moisturizer. Hold the tool in a way that is comfortable in your hand. Suitable for most skin types. I followed Nurse Jamie’s instructions and rolled for about six minutes, concentrating on areas that, as she says, “need more love.” (For me, those would be cheekbones, jawline, under eyes.) After I was done, I looked in the mirror—my face was a little red from the rolling, which is apparently normal. I didn’t see a dramatic difference off the bat, but after using it for the next few weeks at night (mornings aren’t my thing) I’ve noticed less puffiness, particularly after a long flight or a weekend of overindulging. As for the negatives? I wish the roller was quieter. The noise that it makes is faint, but I wouldn't recommend using it in bed next to someone who's a light sleeper (I learned that the hard way.) I also wish the roller was dual-sided, with a smaller tip designed specifically for the under eyes. Gently press and glide the tool just at the brow bone, moving from the middle of your face to the outside of your face.

Celebrities like Jessica Alba swear that Nurse Jamie’s Uplift tool instantly lifts the face. But does it actually work? I put the device to the test.As for the negatives?

Essentially, you just press and roll. The massaging stones are another nice differentiator from other rollers—when you sweep the wand across your face, the stones create a gentle kneading sensation. Gently press and roll the tool in upward from, moving from the middle of your face to the outside of your face.
