My information came from Caroline Hirons. She knows her stuff and isn't beholden to any particular brand or product.

Well I can only claim what I was told by educational part of Clarisonic company. I suppose they know their stuff the best. And I was not told that as a customer but as someone who is selling their product.

Has anyone been able to get the 10% off coupon with the mix/match game they are offering? I keep getting damn samples.. I just want 10% off

I finally got the 10% off today and with ebates(8%), I just HAD to place a small order. I tried the Perricone MD no foundation foundation serum sample and fell head over heels in love with it. It is pricey but totally worth it.

I swatched that Benefit blush a couple of weeks ago. It looks like absolutely nothing on my skin. That brand has it's demographic and I'm clearly not a part of it.

And this is why I usually skip Benefit.

I stopped trying their products years ago. I do like their mascara but only because Sephora gave me a trial size freebie.

I was taught by my regional beauty educuator, that it microexfoliates the skin. It pulsates and the vibrations make the dead skin cells come out of the pores. We did a demo with a tissue to show the micro exfoliation. I wasn't shown this as a client either, I was taught this to sell it that way....

Monsy · Oct 7, 2014

We were also shown demo with a tissue to show how gentle it is because it does not even show any sings of damage on the tissue - is that the one you are referring ?

I specifically asked question about exfoliation. I was told it does not exfoliate and that everyone should continue with their regular exfoliation routine - mechanical or chemical but never to use mechanical exfoliant with the clarisonic

@Monsy you definitely sound like you're well educated about the product. I'm still hesitant on it though. There's no way I could use it daily, my skin would freak out and be red all the time, even if I used the softest brush. Guess I have more thinking to do!!

Monsy · Oct 7, 2014

I do not believe that it HAS TO BE used every day. Everyone's skin is different and we should "listen" to our skin. I do not use it every day. On a day when I am off and I do not wear makeup I probably would not use it. On days when I wear heavy makeup 10+ hours in the evening I can not wait to use it to get all that off and be left with super clean skin that can finally breathe

I used regular, sensitive and deep pore brush heads. Sensitive is my favorite. Regular is rough really rough.

Hey ladies, just heard that Sephora F&F sale starts 10/16. Not sure if that is correct, but thought I'd mention it

Monsy · Oct 7, 2014

If you feel clarisonic is too much for you , you are probably either using the wrong brush, wrong speed or you are pressing to hard against the skin.

Hi guys,

My name is Ko, and i have a beauty addiction! I love sephora! I never really use foundations but i was wondering if ya'll could help me with something. I recently just got into bare minerals matte foundation BUT i hate the brushes from BM. Are there any that you guys suggest that i could use other than the BM brushes that would work with this well? I was thinking of buying the optical blurring brush from UD. HELP

xoxo

Yea the tissue doesn't break, but it had micro beads on top, so the clarisonic had "micro exfoliated" the tissue.
O-o Sounds like we are getting conflicting answers lol.. I mean honestly I clean my face with the clarisonic and exfoliate with products from algenist... but I think it's weird that we both got different trainings haha..

and welcome Ko!! I have no experience w/BM loose powders and defer to the more knowledgeable folks here.....but as a self proclaimed beauty addict, you're in the right place.

I'm using the delicate brush ( i think its the delicate brush the one with the blue band) with the Mia1. Maybe I am pressing too hard. I'll try a lighter hand. I still like it when I use it. Just can't use it twice a day everyday.

yes that is the delicate brush but Mia one is not a good option for you since your skin is so sensitive and Mia has only one regular speed that's not recommended for sensitive skin. For you would be either mia 2 or mia 3 since they have slower speed

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to look into a new machine. I've been eyeballing that cheetah print one for a while now. lol
