Revolutionary Beauty: The Clarisonic Plus
I've been itching to get my hands on a Clarisonic for about 6 months, and finally got the chance to add this fine product to my nightly cleansing regimen!
I know it probably seems like a huge splurge, to spend $225 on a product that WASHES YOUR FACE, right? I mean, skeptics would certainly point out that a washcloth serves the same purpose. But if you're in agreement with the skeptics, you are truly missing the boat.
From the same company that brought us the Sonicare toothbrush, the Clarisonic uses the same sonic technology to effectively wash the face and improve the condition of the skin. Clarisonic has a sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second, ensuring that all traces of makeup, oil and dirt are cleared from your pores. It also makes quick work of removing dry skin. Not only does this leave skin looking more radiant, but it enables your favorite anti-aging product to absorb better, making them more effective!
The Clarisonic Plus differs from the standard Clarisonic system in that it includes a body brush. This brush is hard-core! When placed onto the handset, the Spot Therapy brush head exfoliates the body better than anything I've ever sampled. Used in conjunction with the Clarisonic Refining Skin Polish, or your favorite scrub, it can eliminate dead, dull skin in only a few uses! The back of my arms are generally very dry and scaly by winter's end. The Clarisonic Spot Therapy brush made them soft again after only TWO uses!
A real surprise was how amazing the cleansers are. The kit comes with a trial size of each Clarisonic facial cleanser, each ideal for a different skin type.
Retail price of the Clarisonic Plus Skin Care System is $225.
The set contains:
- Clarisonic Plus three-speed brush
- International charging cradle for worldwide use
- Sensitive brush head
- 3x trial-size facial cleansers
- Spot therapy brush head (for the body)
- Trial-size refining skin polish (for the body)
Brush heads should be replaced every 3-4 months, and replacements retail $25 each. Clarisonic offers three different brush heads, so you're sure to find the perfect fit for you. Brush heads are available in normal (for normal skin and shaving prep), sensitive (for sensitive to normal skin) and delicate (for the extremely sensitive skinned). I have extremely sensitive skin, and use my Clarisonic with a sensitive brush head nightly with no problem. Next time around, I might try out delicate, just to satisfy my curiosity.

gloMinerals Spring 2009: gloLip Plumper Gloss
If you're an avid reader of the Raging Rouge beauty blog, you're no stranger to gloLip and its plumping prowess! For Spring 2009, glominerals has added two new shades, perfect plum– a universally flattering shade of purple, and cherry– a bright and cheerful shade of red.
How do they work? glominerals has developed a formula that utilizes Marine Collagen Atelocollagen sphere technology (to volumize your pucker!), lip-stimulating Capsicum Extract (derived from pepper, this is the spicy ingredient that makes your lips tingle after application!) and emollient Safflower Oil to keep lips their softest.
Retail price is $16 per gloss. Buy one at gloskincare.com.
Expert Tips and Tricks from gloMinerals:
1) Apply a small dab just in the center of the lips to create the illusion of full, pouty lips.
2) Combine with your favorite glominerals gloPrecision lip pencil for added color and shine.
