Hello loves, I know what you're thinking, another review and so soon?! YES! It is! I've been working on this one for awhile, even though I know that there are tons a videos and blog posts about the Clarisonic Mia 2. I still wanted to tell you what I think about it.
Let us back track a bit. So I got the Mia 2 as a gift.. sort of... from my boyfriend. Actually, I was thinking about buying one, but they are so gosh darn expensive. I found one on Ebay up for bid starting at like $40 and gave myself a limit for $75. I know what you're thinking... Ew off of Ebay was it used?! And no it wasn't. It was still in it's originally packaging never opened, never charged, nothing. (Even if you can find a cheap used one that works... GET IT. Just go out and get yourself a new brush head. Good as new) Anyways.. I started bidding... and ended up getting it for $70. Which is a great deal considering that it is more than 50% off. Once I told my boyfriend about it he said... well then... that can be my anniversary present to you. (we decided on no presents this year) Thanks babe...?
Anyways, I received it like 3 days later. Let me tell you how awesome my skin is now. I have a lot of redness on my chin from acne scarring, and acne in general. It seems that because I am so fair skinned, if I get a pimple the redness stays on my skin for what seems like forever. Now, I feel 100% confident going out without any makeup on my face. I don't wear a ton of face makeup as it is, but it is seriously amazing. With anything skin care, you are supposed to give it approximately 2 weeks to a month, to be able to see any benefits. The first time I used my Mia 2, my skin felt so much cleaner. It was such an odd feeling for the first couple days. My skin broke out a little bit from it not being used to the brush, but cleared up fairly quickly. I notice that I'm having less breakouts than usual. I only get hormonal break outs on my chin, but it used to be when I did, they were big and angry and red and there would be 3-5 zits that would pop up randomly one day (oh the joys of PMS). Now I'm down to like 1 - 2 a month so that's pretty awesome! The redness in my skin is dulling down a bit too which I'm loving.
More about the product: If you have ever looked into a Clarisonic, then you know they always show a picture of skin that has been cleaned with hands, and skin that has been cleaned with a clarisonic. To me, the picture was never convincing. Not until I actually purchased one, did I believe it. A really good way to look at it though, is in terms of money. When cleaning your face with your hands, and then putting your serums, eye creams, and moisturizers on afterwards, you are only getting about 40% of the benefits of those products. So it dollar form... if you purchase an eye cream that is $100.. you are only receiving about $40 of that product. With the Clarisonic in conjunction with your other face products, you will get the full benefit. I honestly think that this is very true.
When I'm working on clients, a lot of them say that they own a Clarisonic. I have never had a client tell me that they didn't like it. Every person I have talked to has given me the same exact speech. "I haven't used mine in awhile, but I need to because I can already tell my skin isn't looking how it generally does when I use it" or something along those lines. And I can 100% agree with this statement. If I skip a day using my Clarisonic.. which happens from time-to-time (I'm lazy..), I will immediately break out. And the moment I use it again, it will clear up within a couple days. That's crazy right?!
I have the white Mia 2. But there are tons of colors. You can purchase them at dermatologists, Sephora, Ulta, and I'm sure a few others. The Mia is $125. The Mia 2is $150 and The Aria is $200. My district manager says that if someone is just starting out in the world of clarisonic to get a Mia. It has one speed. Then as time goes on, you can upgrade. Honestly, I would have been okay with just the Mia, but you can get some really cool bonus packs at Sephora with the Mia 2. I think right now for Giftopia they are doing a Mia 2 that comes with a bunch of other face products(cleansers, masks, moisturizers) for $150. Or you could just go to Ebay, and take a look.
If you have a Clarisonic -- comment below to tell others what you think about it? If you don't have one, do you think it is all a gimmick?
