Clarisonic - Is it worth it?

[pretty_kate]

^ nagpaship kami to SG through clarisonic site mismo. i think umabot kami ng $220. nagkamali pa sila nang naibigay samin na mia (walang nakasulat na names), so nagship ulit sila ng bago na meron nang names namin. then we were supposed to return the other mia to them. nung nalaman nilang sa SG pa kami nagpaship, they advised us that we can keep both mia units.  wala nga lang extra charger so hindi rin namin mabenta. 

After watching several reviews, I might get the Mia first - which is not available here in Sg.

San kayo bumili ng Mia online?

On the Mia pala, may ibang brush ba sya aside from the sensitive (for face)?  Kasi Parang I want to use it also for the body.

TIA!

according sa sephora sg at sa clarisonic website, hindi pwede yung brush for the body sa mia. mia only comes with the sensitive and normal brushes.

^ hi sis! How long was the waiting period before u got the clarisonic? Is that $220 usd?

[mo27]

^thanks sis. how about yung mga lulur body scrub, advisable ba na gamitin?

im still waiting for my pre-ordered clarisonic. nakaka-excite lang!

sis i tried lulur body scrub on my clarisonic plus and ok naman gamitin, madali lang din linisin yung brush so hindi problema kahit may beads. i use clarisnoic on my body everyday and ginagamit ko lang usually yung moringa body wash from tbs.

sis i wanna get this product din... im here in sg... kindly advise kung paano pa-ship here.. i tried sa ibang website they are saying hindi daw kaya ship dito.. cant understand why.. thanks

[morbiedoll]

^try skinstore.com yung ibang sg friends namin dun nag order. 

[charmis]

hi sis i tried un skinstore.. but sabi they cannot ship daw kasi meron something sa clarisonic mia (yun mga kasama ata nito) na hindi pwede ship dito sa sg... waaaahhh..

[morbiedoll]

  that's weird... eh I follow singaporean beauty bloggers dun din sila bumibili... baka nag change policy na sila...

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

^^I think they're trying to protect resellers in singapore, like sephora, kaya ganon.

[charmis]

i hope meron pang ibang way.. isip ko nga paship sa manila e... but mas lalong take time para makuha ko.. or ship ko sa cousin ko sa states bago dito... pero mas maganda direct na hehe

[garamd]

sisses, according sa website ng skinstore, they do not ship to certain countries kasama ang philippines. how sad...

[charmis]

talaga sis?? waaah.. meron daw isang sis natin dito nagbebenta e... na-check niyo mo na with her?

[blooming]

sis have you bought yours? i'm still thinkin' of buying in sephora here in sg... mahal talaga! kahit na i've allocated a budget for this at the end of the month, i'm still hesitant... if i can find a cheaper way to have this i'll grab it! but shipping will still take time and the sad part is i might not even get it baka mawala or sumthin'  can you keep me updated where and when you get yours? if not i might just have to buy it in sephora... pikit ko nalang mata ko!

sis nag order nako online.   

I was contemplating on 2 options: 2nd hand clarisonic plus vs brand new mia, for the price of Sgd220. I opted for the later kasi less hassle, pag 2nd hand kasi (kahit slightly used) mahirap na, baka hindi gumagana charger, etc.

^ hi sis! How long was the waiting period before u got the clarisonic? Is that $220 usd?

around 2-3 weeks. it's 220 SGD. sorry for the confusion.

[inakisgurl]

sis si temptalia parng may review about mia
na 2-3x a week lang daw dapat ang paggamit nito..

weeeh..kaya pala..too much exfoliation can break you out...kaya pala...so ako, once a week na lang...sarap kasi mag clarisonic talga...hehe

maybe you can try ebay..meron ako nakita dun na clarisonic plus for abt 8k di ko lang sure kung up pa yung listing

[blooming]

^ nagcanvas kasi ako, mas ok sa amazon ang prices kesa sa ebay. pero in most instances, nakita ko ang tagal ng shipping 15 days at least so feeling ko baka mapabili ako ng di oras pag nainip ako hehe.

so in the end I ordered in skincarerx, 3 business days lang ang shipping, and their price is the same lang as the clarisonic website. you just have to pay for shipping (parang mga $15 ata).

[charmis]

sis thanks ha.. ask ko lang what type of shipping kinuha mo?? fedex international priority or international economy? :)nakita ko they have m2 din.. confuse tuloy ako which one muna bilhin ko.. but lugi naman ako sa shipping if isa [textspeak!].. mas better both.. haha gulo ko sorry

[orangepix]

what cleanser do you girls use with the clarisonic?
i'm currently using it with ivory soap. for me, i think it works better with a mild soap/cleanser kasi nag react skin ko when i initially used it with my previous facial wash for acne. parang naging rough and panay small bumps. sabi nung derma friend ko mukhang mashado raw "na-abrade." hayun, after few days of using a mild soap buti nagclear na.
 i also find na i can't use the sensitive brush head everyday (mahapdi sha, kahit once a day lang), but with the delicate brush kahit twice a day ok lang. buti nalang i also ordered those from sis morbiedoll  ginagamit ko nalang yung sensitive brush once a week for deeper exfoliation/cleaning.

^^ I just got a mia   I had it shipped through international economy.  3-5 working days lang yun di b?   

[blooming]

after a couple of days using the mia, hindi ko alam kung hindi lang ako marunong gumamit.  help naman sa mga clarisonic users -

1.  sabi sa instructions to remove eye makeup. I did, pero I realized, I also have to remove my face makeup separately before using the clarisonis.  Kasi if not, hindi kaya ng clarisonic na sya lang magclean ng makeup sa face ko.

2.  the instructions recommend 20sec sa forehead, 20sec sa chin and 10 sec each cheek.  since ginawa ko, una palang, pagclean sa forehead, tulo na ng tulo ang water sa eyes ko (with facial wash yun ha).  gusto ko sana magwash ng face sa may mirror para I can see nac-cover ko buong face.  eh naman, ang sakit na ng mata ko dahil nga sa soapy water leaking.  now I know why people use the clarisonic in the shower. 

3. tapos if you wet the clarisonic first before you use it, may naiipon na water somewhere pag tinapat mo sya sa faucet face up.  kelangan sideways.

4.  pansin ko almost all instructions, kahit pa mga reviews they always say these 3 steps:
 (1) remove eye makeup
 (2) wet clarisonic and face, then place facial wash on the clarisonic brush or on the face
 (3) then use the clarisonic - motion, seconds, etc etc...
 THE END.
 what people don't say is you still need to cleanse your face and even the clarisonic after... hehe Siguro common sense nga naman, may sabon pa syempre face mo at hindi naman tatanggalin yun ng clarisonic!  So total time mo hindi lang talaga 1 minute. 

Overall, I have yet to try it out pa, kasi 2 days ko palang nagagamit.

^ hi sis! see my feedback below.
1. naghihilamos din muna ako before using clarisonic. para hindi lahat ng dumi ng mukha ko, mapupunta sa brush. mahal eh.
2. hindi ko talaga binabasa yung brush, parang onting water lang nilalagay ko, sakto lang na wet siya pero hindi naman tumutulo. so after 60 seconds, wala naman masyado tumutulo sa aking face.
3. hindi ko yun napapansin. ma-check later.
