Clarisonic Mia

       I just got my very own Clarisonic Mia in pink from QVC a couple of days ago. There has definitely been a lot of hype on the internet about the way that this gadget clarifies and exfoliates the skin. I have dry but still acne prone skin and I've been really searching for something that can really increase the cell turn around. I've used things from Clinique that are just topical lotions to increase such things or even exfoliates the skin but not an actual gadget that scrubs the skin.
   With constant usage over the last 4 days I have found my skin to be smoother and less dull. I've also noticed that any acne I might have had went away and that my scarring wasn't as obvious. I'm sure many are wondering if just a normal exfoliater would do the job but it doesn't seem so. The way that this sonic scrubber removes gunk and makeup from your
pores is something to keep in mind. It's pretty much the difference in effectiveness
that you have between a manual and automatic tooth brush. They might be considered
the same thing but when it comes down to it the benefits from using the more
up to date automatic version is definitely greater.
   The only thing I would really dislike abou this product is the price. a whopping
$125 is something people in my age range aren't really able to afford on a whim.
Supposedly there are several comparable sonic scrubbers out there. The one I'm
anticipating to see reviews and comparisons on would be the Olay RX one for
only $30 that just came out this December.
 I hope my review gave some incite into the clarisonic mia and helps any doubters
that might be out there to the amount of help that it's given. With only 4 days of testing
it's clear that it is a definite help in my skin care routine.

Shop till you drop

     With the Christmas season there always seems to be a ton of rush and traffic at the mall. I literally had to circle around and 5billion times in the span of 30 minutes just to find a parking. You would think that with the amount of rain and flash flood warnings people wouldn't be so enthusiastic to go to the mall. Are we not in a recession people? Haha Enough with the grumbling about the parking and people...
   Here are the amazing things that I got at the mall that were either on sale or something that I've been wanting for a while:

Metropark: 30% off all store: Grey wristlet and large top with a triangle cutout in the back




 

Aeropostale:  70% off outerwear: Went from $99.50 to $32 including tax for a brownish grey warm jacket
Zara: No sale but I love their clothes! Dark grey from the Zara Knit collection
Bare Minerals: Well-Rested for Eyes totally worth the $18
