Clarisonic Pro System

Last year, around April or May, I saw this cute brush tool that can be used for your skin care regimen. The moment I saw this, I got hooked and kept on watching videos from Tiffany, Michelle Phan, Elle and Blair Fowler, glamorrazi, and so on. I fell in love. But the price is very very steep! The small (mia) clarisonic costs around 7k-10k and even I do not expect myself buying that because I am just a student and do not have savings, and number 2, I can use that money to something else. But last December, I still had my online shop and it was very very successful that I was able to buy 1. and not just a mia. but a Clarisonic Pro complete system. I gave myself an excuse to buy this as a gift for me and my 2 sisters and my mom (i think that's worth it). if you'll look at my previous posts, I got this at a very low price. Until now (10 months), I have been using this brush, and I can say it is very very WORTH IT!

I was able to document this product last January. I keep on excusing myself to procastinate everything. lol.

the company in the USA was also a distributor of dermalogica. the company was very clever to label the box as a beauty sample. though I forgot to tell them to do that, they still did it. I picked the package at the post office and it only cost me 40 php for the fee and tax. NOIICEE!

sorry. upside-down =p

I was not able to take a photo of the box inside and how it was arranged. Nonetheless,  it includes 6 brushes actually. 2 brushes for the body, 1 normal head brush, 2 sensitive and 1 super sensitive. i also received a sample of dermalogica as freebies

cover of the box. I also got 4 cleansers together wth the brushes. 3 facial cleansers and 1 body polish

charger, brush and the brush holder. 

cleaning the brush head

the brush tool. the 4 dots give signal whether how high or low is your battery charge. if there are lights in the 4 dots, it means the brush is ON and so on. 

the tool without the brush. the lower button is for on/off. and the upper one is for  the level mode. 1 click is for the low vibration, 2nd-it gets more shaky (more vibration) and it can go until 4th level. the 5 is for the body polishing.

Until now, my sisters and I are using this and I can say that this is worth the money since I can use this for a long time. It has 1 year warranty, and the battery lasts long. let's say for 2 weeks if the 3 of us will use it once a day. and more than 1 month if I will be the only one to use it. If you would like to have one, I suggest you buy the clarisonic Mia. It has the same purpose with little specs. and you don't really need the to use the higher mode for cleansing for it is too harsh to use on your face. the body polishing is good, but you can live without it. and lastly, I suggest you use this once or twice a week since the brush is too harsh or maybe I am putting so much pressure on my hands when I use it on my face. it's really up to you. =p

By the way, any cleanser can be used with the brush EXCEPT those with scrubs. I guess you don't need that anymore. 

I am not good in reviewing a product. But I hope, you learn something from this. I want this to be casual and very brief.

Clarisonic Pro Sonic Skin Cleansing Brush: WORTH THE HYPE?

A simple tag line that makes a difference!

Clarisonic Brush, is it really worth your money?
I got this brush from US and I had it shipped last January. It took me 1 month to get this. But I am not complaining since I claimed this in Manila Postal office for only 40-50php tax! CHEAP right? :))

PLUS. I bought this for only 12000php (shipping fee included) via paypal because of their Christmas Bonus Sale. :) Considering that it consists of 5 AMAZING BRUSHESSSS! and the sample facial/body wash!., So I was really really happy with my purchase, but will my sister get one in the future? Did they like it? 

Full review will be posted in the evening! :)


More details on this tool from their website..

PRODUCTS I AM LOVING FOR MY FACE. :)

hearts all over in spite of being stranded at my bf's cousin's condo. hahaha. whut?

just lol-ing around. :)

But I was stranded awhile ago. I was in MOA waiting for B to finish his hockey training. Being the supportive gf, I always go there since DLSU is minutes away from MOA. :) ., Bringin a bottle of gatorade all the time. TIPID REMINDER: If you want to buy a 1L of gatorade, instead of buying one in supermarket which costs 60-70 php, go to 7/11 and bring you empty 1 liter bottle and use that instead of their 32oz GULP DRINKS. :D THEY SERVE BLUE BOLT GATORADE! :D!!! It only costs 32.00 PHP!!! 1 liter for 32 pesos. NOT BAD! HAHA. They will gladly allow you because you are also helping them by not using their cup as I was told by the lady that their cups are expensive. Just ask them. Try it. :D 

anyway. I am here just to update you and let myself be inspired with writings! HAHA. I want to do an everyday post, but I really find it so stressful because of too much details. Yes, I am that lazy, and it kinda makes me sad. =p ., But I will still try my best. Hihi. 

My skin is getting weird nowadays. The Clinique 3 step system just stopped working on me and I don't know why! :( ., I have another set of these, and I am planning to sell it) , It has been a month and a half, and I was frustrated, not knowing what to do. When 1 product works on me, it's either my right cheek will clear up and my left cheek will be the one to form bumps, and vice versa. Has anyone of you experienced that?

 My default soap is Cetaphil bar after trying a product which did not work for me in the end. This product is not that good, but it kinda calms the condition. So for me, that's sort of a plus for me. But after a few days, Wednesday to be exact. When I started to use Cyleina Black Pearl Soap by accident (I just grabbed it at the dep't store with a little hope that it will make a difference), and I SWEAR TO GOD, it cleared up my skin!) ., My right and left cheeks are now working together! SOOO HAPPPYYY!! :) I am also using it for my body to whiten my skin as my skin tends to recover very slowly everytime I get tanned/sunburned from diff activities. My skin looks like  snow white's skin (NC20 or whiter than that) when I was a kid and now, uhhhh nevermind . =p I am NC30 now. 

One thing that I am GETTING CRRAAZZYYY ABOUT IS... LOL

BB CREAMMSSS!! SORRY, OLD SCHOOL! >:)) Late bloomer.

Source: Google

I was not fascinated with BB creams before (Oct 2010) because I didn't like the Purederm BB cream, so I thought everything else will work just like that. But, after accidentally reading, and watching it this month, I got hooked! For 1 whole week, all I did was to look for the right product for me! :)) ., SO right now, I am using the BRTC 5sample sachets from http://wehaveit43.multiply.com and I am loving the Perfect Recover BB cream among the rest of the samples. Although I find it not that great in oil-control. I like it because of the coverage it gives and how even my skin is after using this. It also kinda matches my skin color! Hurraayyyyy! (I have read that this is too light for most NC30). My cousin also gave me a Collagen BB Cream By WATSONS in China. Yes! Watsons has one, but in China. I am not sure it it is good because it's a little mismatch with my skin color cause of the graying tone it has. Might as well try it again or else, will be put in blogsale. 

I am now trying to buy more BB creams. Right now, I am planning to buy a full bottle of Skin Food Aloe Vera BB cream, BRTC perfect recover BB cream, Etude House (not yet sure which one), and I am also choosing between skin79 or Missha.

Tomorrow, I am going to review my Clarisonic Pro Brush.! :D Stay tune :)

LASTLY, Because of the huge sale in THE BODY SHOP 2 weeks ago, I bought :)

Bodyshop.co.uk

from Bodyshop.co.uk

I do not like the lip tint! X( ., I am really not a fan of lip tints!! I prefer NYX lipsticks than this! I will sell this one. The Tea tree oil, I actually got this awhile ago since I heard that this is really THAT GOOD. I was convinced and bought 2pcs because of the sale. =p ., I still have 1 huge zit on my lower left jawline because of the make-up I used last Saturday. It was too big for Cyleina soap to clear right away. Although the soap did well (slowly doing its job), I want to try this tea tree oil just in case few bumps will be formed in the future. I hope this works! Has anyone tried their Tea tree line? I want to try their facial foam/wash and their moisturizer!! I have read that it is good in keeping the oil at bay. Let me know :)

CLARISONIC: MY CHISTMAS GIFT FOR US GIRLS! :)

Guess who splurged her hard-earned money just to purchase this!!!!

CLARISONIC PRO 2010

I HONESTLY DON'T BELIEVE that I will be able to buy a product that is worth 9.5k + shipping. :|

but. I'M SSSOOOPPPEEERRRRR EXCITTEEDDD!!!! XD

I actually bought this one not just for me, but for my sister and my mom (of course they still don't know about this. hihii). My eldest sister has a senstive skin due to her derma treatment, my 2nd sister used to have a acne-prone skin and my mom, well she's aging and her skin can be easily damaged. AND I, on the other hand, is becoming so OC when it comes to my skin. Since the day I heard the Clarisonic thingy, it automatically sank in my mind that I really really want to have that in the future.

I have been thinking of a good christmas gifts for my sisters and mom and I think this will be the best one. Although I never expected that I will splurge this amount of money, I JUST PRAY AND HOPE IT WILL BE VERY VERY WORTH IT.  All the profit I got in my 100 pairs of lens will proceed here. shocksss.. SO EXPENSIVE :|  .. (changing moods here)

anyway... I searched for this product for 4 hours! I want to buy a not so expensive set. And this one is what I;m looking for. This set is worth 380$ and I bought it for 218$! I guess it's still a win-win for me and the seller ^^

check her site on ebay ...

Clarisonic is a little hand held device that uses the same sonic technology that is used in sonic toothbrushes, except it cleanses your skin. They have a few different versions, the Mia being the less expensive, slightly smaller version; then the classic, plus and pro version. The pro version can be sold by the skin care professionals only. The ebay store I had was from dermabella2009 that's why I was able to get this. Another reason why I bought this one because this set is in a very very low price (sale) and I will have additional 4 brushes which means each of us (2sister + mom) will have an individual brush already. So I don't need to worry about additional purchase for their brushes.  The other sites that I saw do not carry this kind of promo (they sell clarisonic classic/plus in 190$-210$ without any extra brush! 1 brush costs 25$ or  1125 pesos).The brushes need to be replaced in 3-4 months. By that time, I will ask my aunts in the States to buy those refills and the cleansers. :) No worries for me. :) Another thing by the way is that I used my mom's credit card for this since my credit card has a credit limit, so I will pay this one on the 3rd week of January, I still have time to save money....again! :D

This will be the last purchase I will get. (hope not to break this promise!). I also purchased Urban Decay Primer Potion PRO and Ardell lash grower, and Charm make brush pro. :D I'm still not finish in paying but I'm halfway there! :D

By the month of January, expect me to have a full review about this Clarisonic pro and the other 3 this month. :D 

JOIN MY CONTEST! :D . DEADLINE IS ON DEC 12 FOR VIP PASSES AND DEC 18 ON GEO LENS!
