If I had realized how much more refreshed my skin would feel after just a short time using this skincare system, I would have invested in it long ago.

The last thing I want to do every night before slipping into bed is remove my makeup. I know that skipping this step will leave my skin feeling grimy, my lashes fragile, and I’ll wake up to new breakouts. Yet, the consequences rarely provide me the motivation to properly cleanse my skin, especially after a long day of motherhood.
After hearing endless rave reviews from beauty editors and friends, I finally decided to try the Clarisonic Mia 2, which I received as a gift from the brand. This electronic cleansing tool utilizes pulsations and vibrations, along with specialized brushes tailored to various skin concerns, to deliver a deep clean that’s six times more effective than using your hands alone.
After my first wash with the Mia 2, my skin didn’t just feel clean—it felt revitalized. It retained its moisture without that typical post-wash tightness. I realized, “This is how my skin is meant to feel.”
Cleansing my face transformed from a tedious chore into a quick and pleasant routine. Had I known how much my skin would improve in such a short time, I would have purchased this device ages ago.
But Wait, There’s More!
I was fortunate enough to test a new brush designed for the Mia 2. As I mentioned, there are several brushes available, and the latest addition is the Sonic Foundation Makeup Brush (exclusively available on Clarisonic’s website and at Ulta). While the Mia 2 has undoubtedly revolutionized my skincare, this makeup brush is a game-changer for makeup application.
My bathroom is overflowing with makeup and applicators. When time allows, I use various brushes to flawlessly apply foundation, concealer, bronzer, blush, and highlighter. However, on most days, I’m lucky to get by with just a bit of BB cream and concealer applied with my fingers—an approach that’s not as beneficial for my skin as I’d like to think.
The first morning I used the Sonic Foundation Makeup Brush, I was amazed at how quickly it blended my foundation. My complexion looked smooth and even. When applying concealer, simply holding the brush over the area while it spun seamlessly blended everything together.
You can even apply your entire makeup routine—foundation, blush, bronzer, and highlighter—simultaneously and achieve flawless results in under a minute. This brush has significantly reduced my morning prep time, which is essential for a mom with two little ones under five.
In summary, the Clarisonic Mia 2 and its Sonic Foundation Brush have dramatically sped up both my makeup application and removal processes. These are two essential tools I’ll be keeping in my arsenal. If you’re looking for more insights on home insemination, check out our other blog posts for valuable information.
