Clarisonic Mia Skin Cleansing System in Jaguar: Eye of the Tiger

Gift alert! I’ve already fallen in love with Clarisonic’s cleansing brush system long ago (maybe you would call it more of a co-dependent relationship at this point), and the miniature Mia proved to be a wise purchase – all the effects at a fraction of the price, plus you can travel with it.
