Clarisonic Mia Review (Pink)

Alright guys, I did it. I bought a Clarisonic. I purchased the Clarisonic Mia in pink at Ulta ($119, I know, pricey). I originally went there for the purple one but they did not have one and I didn't want to go through the trouble of hunting a purple one down so I purchased the pink. Anyway, I purchased the Mia and not the Mia 2 because I'm a poor college student and I did not think I needed the two different speeds. Although if I had the extra cash, I would have gone with the Mia 2 because I usually like to have the latest and greatest. Plus, they have some bright fun colors and the pulse vibrates every time you are supposed to move to a different part of your face.
I have acne prone skin as well as extremely sensitive skin. I am on accutane at the moment but consulted my dermatologist and she gave me the okay and told me only to use it once or twice a week. I wanted something that would clean a little deeper than just washing my face with my hands. I had some acne scars and redness that I was hoping the Clarisonic would help with.
Anyway, here are some of the pictures I took. The Mia comes with a sensitive brush and a small face cleaner that I haven't used yet because I am only using what my dermatologist recommends.

The charger is interesting. It plugs into the wall like normal but the part you attach to the unit is magnetic. It takes about 24 hours to charge but the charge lasts for a while. I have only recharged mine once and I have have it for a little over a month now.
I have been loving my Clarisonic. My face is softer and smoother. I also think it helped diminish my acne scars. As far as reducing pores goes, I did not see much of a difference. I'm only 22 so I don't have any fine lines of wrinkles but the product claims to reduce the appearance of both. If you can swing the big price tag on this product I would most definitely recommend it. I feel like it does a great job of cleaning my face and getting all the dirt and makeup off before I go to bed. If you do not have sensitive skin you can use this product everyday. For those with sensitive skin I suggest using it every other day or once of twice a week.
Please feel free to comment below on your thoughts about the Clarisonic! :) Thanks so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed!

NYX Stick Blush

Hello again!

An Ulta store recently opened up near my house so needless to say I have been making daily trips there! I have never tried NYX products before so I have slowly been picking up products to try.

I recently picked up their stick blush. I have been looking for a nice cream blush and I thought the stick feature would be fairly convenient. I was relatively inexpensive, around 4 to 5 dollars I think. I picked up the shade 07 "Water Lily". It is a dark plumy rose color.

Swatched:

I love the pigmentation of this product and I really like the color. However, it is very difficult to blend. It is almost impossible to blend with your fingers so I have been using an ELF blush brush pictured below. I streak the product on my cheeks and the blend with the brush. It gives a really nice natural finish and I find myself using this blush almost daily. For the price I think the quality is great and it does last all day. 

As far as the brush goes, I think it is too hard for powder blush, I think the blush would go on too heavy. However, it works perfectly for this blush! I would definitely recommend this product!
