I had the Clarisonic Mia Cleansing tool in my wishlist for almost 6 years.After I got a job and could afford it I immediately ordered it.I got this one from wishlist,a facebook page.The owner of famous blog GLAMARAMA is in the admin panel of this page.I just love wishlist.They have such a variety of things to offer always.If you want something from a US website that doesn't ship to Pakistan,just request them and they will give you a very reasonable price(price in dollars + shipping and custom duty).They don't have ridiculously high prices and the products are a hundred percent genuine.Here is my previous experience with them.Here is the wishlist
page.

I got the Clarisonic Mia in one and half month.My happiness was on the level of ecstasy.It comes with a charger with universal socket,brush,booklet and gel face wash.
The brush head was separate and I had to fit it on the handle.It just snapped into its place with
a click.I had to charge it for one whole day...24 hours(The wait was very tough for me).It has
an indicator light which blinks when the Mia has low battery.When the charging is complete
the light becomes solid.It starts with a grey button.Once the button is pressed,the Mia works
for a full minute,after which it automatically turns off.
MY BRIEF EXPERIENCE WITH MIA:
I have been using it for one and a half month now so I will share my experience.
The Mia has to be used in circular motions.20 seconds on forehead,20 seconds on nose chin,10
seconds on each cheek.I used it in small circles over whole face.The sensation was a little tingling when the device buzzed against my skin.
You have to use it flush with skin.If pressed hard the brush will not rotate.The inner circle of brush vibrates so fast that you hardly feel it.It is super gentle.It cleanses but doesn't scrub.You have to use it with a gel cleanser.Cleanser with scrubbing action and beads can not be used as they can damage the skin.
Mia can not be used with creams and cleansing milks.It is just designed to improve your face wash experience.

Well,I used it with my Clarisonic hydrogel cleanser.The cleanser smells of chamomile.It is a clear gel and is very gentle.After first sonic cleansing my face felt very soft and even.It even looked a little fair and bright.I cleansed my face with my regular cleanser and after wiping it off I used the sonic.Even though I had already removed my makeup with Nivea Visage Cleanser(Excellent cleanser,Read review),I still saw that Mia removed the left over foundation too.This was the foundation that was left in my pores and I never knew about it.So,I absolutely love the cleansing power.My face was squeaky clean.The night cream just absorbed in my skin, like really absorbed and not sitting on top.The next day I noticed that the oily blotchy look,I so hate was absent from my face.My face was super smooth.(I got compliments on it too ^_^).My foundation went on so smoothly and easily that I was just amazed.I only had to take half of what I used to.
One disturbing thing was that I noticed a little flakiness around my nose.May be it was because
my skin was adjusting to Mia,because the flakiness disappeared after a week.Anyways,the breakout I was dreading (after reading reviews) never came.May be because I didn't attack my skin with the sonic and just used it once daily on alternate days as opposed to twice daily instructions.
I totally love my Clarisonic and yes I am not satisfied until I "buzz" my cleansing routine :) .
Everyone notices the healthy shine on my skin now.I think the effects of Mia are more felt then seen.Your skin is cleansed,soft and glowing.
More about the Mia will come in future post to let you know about the long term effects.Just click on the "Clarisonic" in Brands reviewed section and you will get to read all my posts on clarisonic experience up till now.Have a great day beauties :)

DeleteWhen I got it and started using it last year . My skin hated it for first 2 weeks but now I don't think I can survive without it. It's has made such huge changes to my skin . I personally like deep pore cleansing head better than the one it came with ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah I know,my skin acted weird too but i knew it would come so I reduced the usage and my skin calmed down.I m thinking of getting the deep pore brush for the summers.
DeleteHave heard great things about it! I am so happy that it's working for you :)
