Clarisonic and Butter London
Thursday December 01, 2011
I got this butter London polish at South Moon Under last night on the way to dinner. I love red and the glitter makes this perfect for the holidays! It’s called Chancer.
Chancer
Wear this deep, “crushed glitter” red when you are feeling particularly out of his league. He doesn’t deserve you anyway.
Their holiday collection is pretty if you like purple pastels and glitter. I’m so picky with nail colors lately. Many colors I just never wear. Like blue. My favorite colors to wear are red, gold, and jade. I used to not be so picky, meh~ :P
So I finally started using my Clarisonic! Like I said it’s the Mia2. I got it on a great Black Friday deal from QVC that included a Philosophy face wash, extra “deep-pore” brush and at a great discounted price. :deco2: Plus I have until Jan 31st to try it out and return it no questions asked if I’m not happy. :ok:
I’ve always wanted one really but I am excited and nervous. I heard there can be a purging stage in the beginning as the impurities come out. I read reviews that said how soft it makes your skin and how quickly skincare products get absorbed after using it. I was skeptical … but it’s true!! Even after my first use my skincare products immediately absorbed!! And my skin really is so, so soft after using it. :)
But I’m more excited to see where my skin is in 2~4 weeks.
I bought it mainly because reviews were saying it helped reduce visible pores. These past few months my pores are really starting to show. It’s my mother’s genetics kicking in. :;_;: Her pores are huge and, as I age lolol, mine are not looking so great. :angry: I had been trying different skincare and makeup products to help with pores but I’m not 100% satisfied with any of the creams and primers I’ve tried. So I’m curious to see if the Clarisonic will help! Lately I really feel like investing in my skincare, long-term. :angry:

aaah! i used to watch qvc in my apartment when i was bored back in college. they always had such interesting deals! anyway, loving that nail lacquer! such a festive color! btw i ended up buying a short plaid dress, your outfit inspo posts got to me! haha
-
I just got the Butter London Purple pastel kind of colour in a magazine yesterday, what a coincidence! Usually nail polish feels really heavy on my nails… so i’m still unsure if I should use it or not xD aha.
-
It’s like an electric toothbrush for your face? Weird! I mostly just splash water on my face to clean it (no soap unless I get really sweaty) so maybe this isnt’ for me.
I love wearing glitter polishes, but they’re such a pain to remove! That’s what keeps me from wearing them more.
-
Yes! I want one of these. At first I thought it just brushed your face, and I thought, “Ouch! No!”, but now that I know it has some kind of magical vibrating cleaning power I want it. Do let us know if it is fantastic or not. Do you use any retinoids? I think they are the best thing ever for skin.
-
omg, two products I’ve really wanted to try… please let us know how it works for you! (:
The nail colour is gorgeous, too~ since I’ve started keeping my nails short for piano I haven’t painted them once D: -
Hmmm…yeh I’ve been looking into one of those face scrubbies I wanted a gentile neutragena one…well see
And I thought u liked teal nails :/

That nail colour is gorgeous! My best friend LOVES Butter London, haha.
I totally know what you mean about wanting to invest in skincare~ I’ve been feeling exactly the same too. I don’t have the Clairsonic, but my mum got me the Olay ProX cleanser (which is similar) for my bday & it’s been working really well! My extended Xmas list is full of Kiehl’s & Caudalie products too ♥ -
Looks like we have the same one ! LOL is it pink …? How often do you use ? I’m not sure wether I should use it daily or 2days once.
And omg the nail color looks so nice !
I’ve never seen this series… do they have it at regular drug store…? -
Black friday ;_; The “brazilian black friday” was horrible, not a great discount as for US buyers. Kinda sad actually. For some reason, i’m still on nude mode. I just use nude nail polishes and makeup. I wish i could have a more “colorful” mode XD
-
I love glitter or metallic polishes. Especially glitter around the holidays. :D I usually stick to green, blue and orange/red-ish polishes.
I’m really interested in how the Clarisonic works out! I have always had huge pores, so if it helps I would totally get one!
-
OMG that color is so pretty! Reminds me of China Glaze Ruby Pumps!
And i’ve been wanting to try the clarisonic , but I’m afraid it’ll rub my skin raw D: -
Nice red! super red one :p
I love something a bit darker on my nails like red rose or red blood colors (Ruby red) lol -
Ooh I’ve been wanting to try that nail polish brand! It looks so lovely, I might just go get some for myself!
-
Oooo!!! Let me know if the Clairesonic is good! :D
I’ve been noticing how huge my pores are lately… -
Ohh my dear! I saw that nailpolish at Douglas aswell, but yeah honestly 16,95€ for a nailpolish is too much … stupid germans *rolls eyes*

That nail polish is such a beautiful color~!
-
awesome! i’m also excited for the results the clarisonic gives you :D
-
Great color! I’m actually looking for one like that too :)
I really like wearing “dark”colors in winter. Black, taupe, but also deep red.
And one with glitter is just what I need :) -
That clarisonic brush looks good.. I just looked it up on the youtubes. Is it okay for exfoliation. (?)
-
I’ve been curious about Clarisonic, glad to hear it’s working for you! Keep us updated about it, I think I may end up buying one if your experience is a positive one!
-
Love this product, thanks for reviewing. Thanks for sharing, visit my blog sometimes =)
-
I LOVE my Clarisonic, it is really so amazing! I had heard tons of good reviews as well and eventually got one for myself. The purging period can be kind of worrying, but trust me you’ll love it! :) Also that polish looks gorgeous~!

Gosh, I have the same problem with my skin- the pores are huge and it’s so sensitive so I’m forever having to be careful with products in case they bring back my acne. I got the anti-acne (though it’s called anti-blemish in the UK?) Clinique range after reading about it on your blog- it’s kept my skin calm so far but I feel like it needs something extra to help it clear up, do you think the Clarisonic could be a solution?

Hmm so it helps? I got one of these Clean n Clear Blackhead Erasers (which seems similar http://www.americanlifestyle.com/products/Clean%26ClearBlackheadEraser.jpg) but didn’t get any good results out of it. I have large-ish pores and always have tons of stubborn blackheads (sorry if it’s tmi :P) so I wonder if something like what you got would help.
-
I read that you should only use your Clarisonic 2-3 times a week to avoid atopic dermatitis, which I think is the “purging” you are talking about.

I bought the first generation Mia a while ago and I really am glad I added it to my skincare routine. I learned about it due to having a Sonic-care tooth brush (same manufacturer). I purchased mine from Sephora due to their wonderful return policy….that and I spend a lot at Sephora and gain lots of points and obtain additional promotional coupons/gift cards often. I got it for a great deal with a gift card they gave me.
It really does help clean the skin well. I do not have the same skin type as you, but I do occasionally get 1-2 small acne spots and am around your age. I use it more for just aiding in exfoliating and ensuring my light makeup is removed (press powder and a bit of lotion is what I wear on my face). I am always scared about putting things on my face, but this really gentle. I saw some reviews where people thought it was too rough! Crazy. :X
Enjoy!

Ahhh I’ve wanted a Clarisonic forever, your review makes me want one more. I love sparkle nail polish too but it’s such a nightmare to get off… even with base coat! Do you have any tips? D:
