<\/strong>As quickly as iPhones became the IT phone to hold, the Clarisonics<\/a> are attaining a similar status amongst a very savvy group of beauty aficionados. Just about anyone who yearns for a clear complexion<\/a> would either own some version of the Clarisonic<\/strong> (they have 5 now) or are contemplating on getting one.<\/p>

We get it. It\u2019s hard not to be a fan of the Clarisonic<\/strong> cleansing<\/a> range, especially when there\u2019s the promise to remove 6 times more dirt, reduce the appearance of pores and even aid in clearing up acne<\/a>. Though it\u2019s a rather tall order, the Clarisonics<\/a> have seemingly delivered otherwise there wouldn\u2019t be legions of fans around. Us included!<\/p>

Our personal favourite is undeniably the Mia 2<\/a> and quite honestly we thought this was it - nothing else could replace our beauty tool but then Clarisonichad to release the Aria<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>

Mia 2 or Aria?<\/strong><\/p>

We love the Mia 2 <\/strong>for its compact design and range of 12 striking colours, making it a colourful travel companion<\/a> to have. The Aria is slightly larger, does not come with a protective travel case but instead has a drying stand and only has 4 shades to choose from \u2013 white<\/a>, black,<\/a> red and pink<\/a>.<\/p>

However, in our eyes, the only pressing difference is the 2 speeds (delicate, universal) on the Mia 2 <\/strong>as opposed to the 3 speeds (delicate, universal and powerful) on the Aria<\/strong>.<\/p>

And if you\u2019re a stickler for additional features than you\u2019d be pleased to hear that the Aria <\/strong>comes with 2 pulsing timer functions for 1 or 2 minute cleansing cycles. The Mia 2<\/strong> only offers 1 minute cleansing cycles but you could easily repeat the cycle with another press of the timer.<\/p>

Other than that, both offer sensitive brush heads and come with a universal voltage charger as well.<\/p>

Remember though, the Clarisonic<\/strong> brushes are not exfoliating tools. Although the brush does offer a tinge of exfoliation <\/a>(as compared to cleansing with your fingers), it is not the primary function. All that the Clarisonics <\/strong>promise to do is clean your faces extremely well and when the brushes rotate at 300 movements per second, we expect them to do a great job!<\/p>

The Clarisonic <\/em>Mia 2<\/em><\/a> (approx. 170USD) and <\/em>Aria<\/em><\/a> (approx. 214USD, from 1 April 2014) are available at Sephora Singapore and <\/em>online<\/em><\/a>.<\/em>
