I've wanted a Clarisonic for as long as I
can remember.
I have had a problem with my skin for quite some time and
the idea of cleaning my face with a sonic brush has always appealed to
me- especially after spending so long in the bathroom scrubbing my face
with a manual face brush.
I decided to
take the plunge this week and invest in one while biting my tongue the whole
way through the checkout process, knowing full well that I could have saved the money for
something else. I placed an order last Monday on the official Clarisonic website and I received the order by the Thursday.
Since I am a little late on the whole
sonic cleansing system hype, I was pretty impressed with the look and
feel of the Clarisonic. I know that the Aria was launched in 2013, as an
upgrade of the previous Mia versions. The Aria is lighter and slimmer and feels pretty solid in the hand.This unit is a little different though as I managed to
get my hands on the limited edition Keith Haring Aria; the cleansing
device is red and it comes with a pouch designed by Keith Haring.The box includes the Mia system and a pouch that holds the USB-enabled magnetic Universal Voltage Plink Charger, wall adapter and drying base, as well as a sample size cleanser.
I'm
in love with the pouch design, the zip tag is in the shape of a mini
Clarisonic and the inside of the pouch is covered in one of Keith
Haring's iconic designs. I love getting these kind of pouches with
purchases because I like to use them as makeup bags, so I think this one
will be going straight into my work bag.
To
charge the unit, you have to use plink charger and wall adapter. The
magnetic charger attaches to the base of the Aria and connects to a wall
socket through the plug adapter. This makes the unit travel friendly-
instead of taking the drying stand, you can charge the unit using only
the Plink charger, which is handy because the drying base is pretty
chunky!
I was pretty impressed with the magnetic function, but I will have to see for myself if this is a gimmicky feature.
It
was a nice surprise to find the sample sized cleanser included in the
pack, although I am a little hesitant to use it. My skin is pretty
normal and doesn't react too much to different products, but since I have
established such a solid skin care regimen already, I wouldn't want to
change it.
I'm pretty excited to use my Clarisonic although I wasn't impressed with the 24 hour charging time- I'm hoping that it lasts for quite a while.
Have you used a Clarisonic? Let me know?
Happy Cleansing
God Bless,
