Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System

When you take that fact, add in that 49 is looming on my personal horizon, and I am really self conscious about my eye area, I got really excited when looking through this week’s Sephora mailers.  If they don’t have it by the time you read this, they are soon to get the Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion System.

In case you’ve not yet heard of this, here is a promo video that explains it a little.

Granted, that clip is a commercial, but I almost salivated when I saw the demonstration on one of the models. Could this thing really work as well as they said that it did?

At $245, if you live in my economic world, the price is downright scary. I just did a small amount of quick research to get some more information about the serum that they are using. It appears that this is not going to be a product where you can substitute another (insert cheaper) serum to go along with it. Math isn’t my strong suit, but if I am figuring it correctly, if you buy one and see good results, the serum is going to cost you $400 a year to use. That alone makes my bank account wince. However…if I tried it and it worked, I probably wouldn’t think twice about the serum cost.

If you live near any of these places, you can go check the Opal out for free.

What are your thoughts on this?  I know I shouldn’t want something that costs that much, but I do anyhow. ~lol~  If any of you are able to go to one of the salon parties, or if you have seen the results of the Opal first hand, please let us know how it works.
