Slendertone Face: All You Need to Battle The Ageing Process?

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it even an iPod?

Nope, it's none of those things. It's actually Slendertone's newest foray into the gadget market and it's got a waiting list of TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE in the UK. Imagine? Landing in Brown Thomas last week, this baby is the sexy face of anti-ageing and clamps to your cheeks to deliver toning, plumping and altogether fabillis lifting that boffins at NUI Galway have declared to be the real deal.

I haven't had a chance to check mine out yet - and I'm not saying that as any form of an excuse, cos I am dying to sit down with the leaflet and work out how the doofer works. But I have been beside myself with the busy. This weekend, I am promising myself, will be my time with Slendertone face. I intend to spend the weekend in bed propped up on cushions reading trashy novels as my face gets reverse-aged. A glass of wine or 12 may also be involved.

At €300, it's pricey, but get this - it's £300stg in the UK, so fair play to Slendertone for not trying that old ramp-up-the-price-the-Irishers-won't-notice trick. We will.

Whaddya reckon? Would you splash €300 on an anti-ageing gadget or would you prefer to go down the posh skincare route like Aphrodite?
