Tried and tested: Clarisonic Mia Fit
It’s said ‘good things come in small packages’ - and that’s certainly true of the Clarisonic Mia FIT.
The travel-sized sonic cleansing brush — charged via USB — boasts all the power of the original, yet sits comfortably in the palm of my hand and in my make-up bag.
If, like me, you’re busy and lazy with your skincare regime (hello, face wipes...), to have a go-to gadget that can remove impurities six times better than wipes is a game changer.
Every day for three weeks I’ve used the pre-programmed Delicate mode for an instant morning glow, followed by Power Cleanse at night, to remove long-wear make-up.
If you have sensitive skin like me, I would steer clear of the latter prior to going out, however, as it left a slight redness.
The glow-giving results are already noticeable — so good, in fact, that I have to keep stealing it back from my boyfriend, who is about to invest in the men’s Clarisonic Alpha FIT.

We smoothed on La Roche Posay’s Toleriane Ultra Night 40ml, €18.50 before we hit the hay each night for a week, and noticed the difference.
It soaks in quickly, no residue and no flare ups. Not quite a cream, not quite a gel - whatever it is, it worked for us. www.laroche-posay.ie
New research reveals that it takes the average person until their mid-30s to find The One — the one fragrance they love, that is.
The study from Heathrow Airport, which is home to 3,405 fragrances across 104 brands, found those surveyed dabbled with just 10 perfumes over a lifetime, with 16% spritzing their signature scent for decades.
What makes us change? A new job (4%) or a big birthday (5%), while a new relationship or a trip abroad are the most common catalyst, at 7% each.
