Clarisonic

I am a self admitted Sephora-holic.  I love to peruse the aisles of glitter, brushes and perfumes and take home a glossy black bag with red tissue filled with potions to make me gorgeous!  This holiday I got a variety of gifts including two sephora gift cards and a visa one.  The possibilities are pretty much endless for a beauty addict like me.  But I decided on probably the best purchase I have made (to date) at Sephora.  I got a Clarisonic.

From the makers of the Sonicare toothbrush comes the facial cleansing wonder the Clarisonic.  I absolutely love the way my face feels. My skin is glowing and it exfoliates like a dream.  Really I don't know how I washed my face without it before.  The price point is a little steep ($149 for the Mia, and $249 for the full size)..and admittedly I wouldn't have purchased it if I didn't have the gift cards.   However, considering an average trip to Sephora for me costs at least $40 I have probably spent that price 10x over in the last year.  Especially since I just got my 500pt perk for being a Beauty Insider.  It wasn't the Kat von D eyeshadow pallet but something I kinda needed more, new OPI nailpolishes.  Everyone loves a 'free' gift...even if it cost me $500 in purchases to get it.

When I was in the store clutching my Mia before rushing to the register to pay I spoke with one of the 'beauty consultants' about the product.  She told me how my products would last longer on my face throughout the day, how more effective my moisturizers would be, and how overall I would love the way my skin looked.  And, well, she was right.  I have noticed a dramatic change in the way my makeup glides onto my face.  And how my skin is soft before I put on my moisturizer.

I would've posted a 'cute' photo of my Mia...but for Christmas I also got a new Macbook Pro and have yet to figure out how to upload photos to blogger with iPhoto.  So..as I experiment please bear with me.  
But while you're waiting check out the Mia you won't be disappointed!
