Clarisonic Holiday Specials.

I am so excited as I just used my Clarisonic for the first time today. This is one luxury I will never be without again. After using this famed skin care brush just twice today, my face feels so fresh and "un-clogged". I will update more about the Clarisonic and how much I love it in another post, but I needed to let you know about these super great deal that the folks at Clarisonic are offering up, just for the Holidays.

Starting today, customers will have the ability to personalize their Clarisonic! As if that wasn't enough Clarisonic is allowing customers to break their $195 payment into 4 easy payments to make those holiday budgets stretch a little further. The easy payment program is only applicable for the month of Dec, so you'll want to hurry to take advantage of this spectacular deal!

And for those shoppers paying in full there is an incentive as well. With a $195 purchase you will receive a ½ oz renewal serum and travel bag ($55 value) just for paying in full at time of purchase.

Suki Pure Skin Care.

After writing for so long on Pretty by Nature, the natural beauty blog, it takes a lot for a natural and pure beauty company to really stand out to me. Suki, definitely stands out.

Not only is Suki a company made practically in my backyard, (they are based less than 20 miles from my house!) the products are stand outs for a number of reasons. See why I am loving the philosophy of Suki so much:

about suki®
our vision at suki® started in the kitchen but with new advanced technology, it has allowed us to create the suki® organic innovation lab™. 100% pure organic bases integrate cutting edge science to visibly improve the overall appearance of your skin. our handmade formulas are blended in small batches & shipped fresh to you within a month of pouring to ensure integrity of the formulation. our commitment to responsible clean manufacturing practices extends to ingredients, packaging & shipping choices with a positive impact on the environment

know your beauty®
means accepting, nurturing & expressing our authentic selves. it means acknowledging that we are beautiful because of our individuality. suki is a life-affirming & self-affirming program. our formulas support vitality, strength & good health. we strive to define beauty for ourselves on our own terms & work toward an ongoing acceptance of ourselves as we evolve. know your beauty also means having honest & complete information. suki® encourages us all to be savvy, discerning, analytical & prepared. armed with the truth, we can trust our decisions in knowing what we consume, both inside & out.

The products smell so wonderfully of lemon, which is incorporated into most of the formulas. The fresh, crisp smell is awakening not only to the skin, but to the mind. There is an entire selection of products that can be tailored to your skin care concerns and needs.

My favorite products from the line are the Lip Repair Butter and the Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser.

The Lip Repair Butter is made with 100% natural beeswax 7 natural non-gmo Vitamin E, organic Jojoba and Sunflower oils, as well as Calendula and Chamomile extracts. The aroma and taste is generated by pure premium steam distilled essential oil. This long and painstaking process is used to ensure the best quality.

The Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser is like no other you have used before, I promise you that. Made with olive oil and natural sugar with a host of other natural, good for your skin, vegan ingredients, a very small dime sized amount is all you need. To use this, you simply rub the mixture between your fingers and over your face. Soon the mixture will start to gently foam as it ever so gently exfoliates and removes dirt, oils, makeup, and anything else the environment has let into the pores. This cleanser is unique can be appreciated by any skin type.

Suki is carried in New York City at Henri Bendel as well as most Whole Food Markets. It can also be ordered online through the Suki Pure website.

And Again... Purity from Philosophy.

I am not sure if I have talked about one product more than I have talked about this one from Philosophy. Purity is a cleanser that I go back to over and over. For good reason. I love it, and there is no other product that I can use every day, need so little of, and love every single time I use it.

Not only do I use this more than any other, I think it might be the most written up single product here on Beautiful Makeup Search. Look at all the times I crushed on Purity in the past:

Purity. Pure & Simple.

My Best of 2006.
Scrumptious.
My Favorite Things - 2007.
Philosophy's Purity Now in Foam!

When I wrote about Purity in it's newest form a foam, I had not use it yet. But I am using it now and am addicted. I was not sure how I would like it as I love the way the light lotion of the original Purity feels, but this one is almost more moisturizing, if you can believe that.

You can really get away with two pumps to totally cleanse, but I love the feel of the rich foam and usually pump the pump four or five times for a whole lot of product. It is light and rich a the same time. Makeup, oil and dirt is removed while making my face feel less dry. Like I said, the moisturization felt is surprising.

You need to try this and you will be changed - I swear. You can pick up the original form of Purity (available in a few different sizes) and the new High-Foaming Daily Cleanser, also in multiple sizes, at philosophy.com, Sephora, sephora.com, beauty.com nordstrom and QVC.
