Beauté Maline compares the beauty devices you use at home (hair dryers, flat irons, hair removal, nails, skincare) to help you pick the right one without paying for the logo.
Who writes here
Articles are written by Svetlana Guseva. Every comparison starts from a real question (which device for fine hair, for sensitive skin, for a small budget) and relies on the sources described below.
What we do, and what we don’t
We cross-check manufacturer specs, dated prices and published independent tests, and we cite the source every time. We never claim to have tested a device we have not had in our hands.
When a figure could not be verified, we say so. It is the only way to be genuinely useful.
How we compare
Every comparison draws on four sources:
- the official manufacturer specs, separating useful numbers from marketing;
- verified customer reviews, at volume: a flaw reported by a hundred buyers is a fact, not an opinion;
- the manufacturer documentation: manuals, contraindications, parts and refills, warranty;
- prices actually checked and dated, never a crossed-out list price.
Our criteria stay the same from one article to the next:
- real-world performance, not the biggest number on the box;
- gentleness on hair, skin and nails: adjustable heat, safety features, fine settings;
- ease of use: weight, noise, cord length, battery life, what matters after ten minutes;
- running costs: heads, cartridges, attachments, and whether you can still buy them later;
- warranty and support, as the brand commits to them in writing.
Health: what we don’t replace
Some devices, IPL in particular, have contraindications. We flag them when the manufacturer publishes them, but an article never replaces the user manual or a dermatologist’s advice.
How we make money
Some links to retailers are affiliate links: if you buy after clicking, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes a ranking or a verdict. The details are on our affiliate disclosure page.
Prices change
Every price we quote carries its date. Between two updates it may have moved, so the price shown by the retailer always prevails. Spotted one that drifted? Tell us: it is the report we fix fastest.
