I was beyond excited to try my new toy out on Monday night and even made a quick video that I wanted to share showing my first experience with it. Well the video idea fell through. I recorded one, 6 minutes and some change, but when I went to edit it was all kinds of choppy so I decided to just do some screen grabs of it. *cue Picasa collages*

I used my Target makeup wipes to get rid of my everyday makeup that I wear to work.

I love these things! I don't wear a whole lot of makeup to work and they work perfectly with removing it.

I've been using Maybelline's BB Cream (in Medium/Deep) for a few months now as my liquid foundation. It's light but has just enough coverage that I need in the summer monthswell on the warmer days in Houston. We only get 2 seasons in Houston, hot and not so hot. I use Maybelline's Fit Me powder in 355 Coconut to set my BB Cream and brush a little bit of MAC's blush in 'Raizin' on my cheeks. Not a lot of makeup, just enough to make me look presentable in the office.
The first time I used the Mia I used the sample sized cleanser they included in the kit and I wasn't impressed. It's not that it didn't cleanse my face well, but I don't think I'll be switching over to that as my go-to facial cleanser.

Check out that expression on the bottom right corner! I told y'all I was filming a video. So this little beauty works so well. I could feel the difference that first night.

I followed the instructions and did 20 seconds on my forehead and chin and 10 seconds on each cheek session. At first I didn't think that was going to be enough time to get everything cleaned but I was wrong. Sephora gives you a 30 day money back guarantee and I was happy about that when I first made the purchase just in case it didn't live up to the hype, but I don't see myself returning this. I've consistently used it each morning and night and I'll keep you guys updated with my progress. I have combination skin and get pimples really easily (hello high school years) and I'm hoping this helps with that. Do any of y'all own a Mia cleanser and if so what do you think of it?
