Today’s contest is particularly fun for me, because this is a product that is both 1) expensive and 2) fantabulous. I give away a lot of stuff for the kids, here, and with the holidays coming up I’m going to have several giveaways geared at pampering you, because—let’s face it—you’re the one doing all the work to make sure everyone else is happy. You deserve some swag just for you!
So here we go: Meet the Clarisonic Professional Skin Care System. It’s an ultrasonic facial brush. Stop laughing. I know, it sounds… a little weird. But you’re going to have to trust me on this. (If you want to read a detailed, first-hand account of its use, check out my review at BeautyHacks.) This baby is your key to clearer, smoother, more gorgeous skin, but the price tag is a little hefty for us cheapskates, right?
Well, I have a Clarisonic System right here that could be yours. Want to win it? To enter for a chance to win, simply leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Eastern (8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, November 26th, 2008. One entry per person; valid email address required; commiseration about the extreme unfairness of adult acne will evoke empathy but not increase your chances. Winner to be determined by random number generation and SONAR. (Get it? Because it’s ultrasonic? Sonic? SONAR? Oh, nevermind.)
Ready? Go!



This would make a great gift for… well, me.
Throw my name in…thanks!
Would love this for my daughter!
Thank you!
Kim
Who wouldn’t love beautiful skin?
I’ll try it – my skin needs some help!
That would be lovely!
Count me in! Thanks
Oh, I have wanted one of these for so long.
Sounds lovely, I love the Sonicare for teeth, so for face sounds great!
I could really use this.
Ooooooh, I hope I win!!!
This sounds great!
Sounds great!
I have lately been lamenting the loss of my fabulous pre-childbirth and subsequent sleep deprivation complexion. This would be great.
That would make me very thankful on Thursday.
Oh, I’ve been wanting one of those!
oh, ping me, ping me!
(sonar – get it? My husband just smirked at me and said “everybody THINKS they have a sense of humor.” Fine. No facials for HIM.)
It would be a wonderful thing to be thankful for!
I absolutley NEED one of these. PLEASE!!!
I’d love it!
i really need this!!!
Interesting! Sounds like something I would love.
I’ve been dealing with skin troubs for a few years – after having great skin as a teen. Is that ironic, or just a huge bummer?
Oh yes! Something for me?!?! Wow.
Hmmm…me or my sister…me or my sister…
OOOOO! Beauty products! If it came with shoes I’d be in girly-girl heaven!
Does sound strange, but I’d give it a try
Sounds great…I’m in!
Oh please me!
I could really use some pampering, even if I have to do it myself. Thank you!
I would love to have a facial everyday!!! Let me be the random number this time!
Great giveaway! I’ve been contemplating the Clarisonic for some time now, but the price always deters me.
I am in, my skin could stand to be rejuvenated.
Would love one!!
I wonder if I could use this on my floors
OOH! Me! Me!
A facial every day sounds absolutely fabulous!!!
Me please, pick me! Thanks Mir!
Good timing, I just realized my skin is staging a revolt. Maybe if I blast it with sonic waves I can beat it into submission?
Oh, how life is unfair — I’m 35, over 70% gray with wrinkles and acne. I also fear I’m heading straight into ‘the change’ at a high rate of speed.
URGH — a pick me up would be awesome.
Well…I need *something*…maybe this will be it!
I think a facial every day sounds GREAT!
So, this may sound a bit lazy, but I’d love this machine that would do the scrubbing for me… Yeah, that sounded lazy…
Cool!
Pick me! Pick me!
Sure, I’m in.
This sounds wonderful!
I’d love to try one of these!
How neat! On the sympathy level, I have adult acne that spawns when I ovulate. NOT. FUN.
Oh, I so want this. Why is my skin worse now at 39 than it ever was when I was 15???
Me too.
pick me
This would make this tired mama very happy.
Love it!! Pick Me!!
Scrub a dub…I could use some facial luxury! Thanks for the contest, Mir!
me please!
Sounds interesting. Count me in.
OOOhhh please pick my number!!
that sounds awesome!
If I win, I would totally make dolphin sonar noises while using this.
I’ll give it a whirl. I know YOU don’t need it, Mir, ’cause you’re already too gorgeous.
I would love to have pretty skin…
I would LOVE this. Thanks for the chance!
I want new Baby skin! pick me please.
Pick me please!!!
Wow! I saw a review for this on The Fashionable Housewife and found myself thinking how great it is, but it’s sooo expensive. Please add my name to the virtual hat. Thanks!
Yes Please!!!!!
Oooh, yes please!
I have SO been wanting one of these!!
Thanks for sharing!!
I want to be pretty like Mir!
thanks!
I would love to try this!
Thanks.
i would LOVE this!
I haven’t had pretty skin since…well never. Went straight from teen acne to adult acne, so I would love to try this.
My pores are screaming, “pick me! pick me!”
Thanks for a great give-away and a thorough review.
ME! ME! ME!
This is great! Thanks. You’re so very pretty!
Sounds great – thanks for the giveaway!
I think my face could use a little brushin’.
Oh, and you are pretty.
thanks for the chance.
I have tried everything for my skin – that is, everything that’s affordable or comes in a free sample. Clearly, the answer lies in expensive products. Oooh, please pick me!
My wife would love this. Please random number generator, let Christmas come a little early!
My aging skin would love this!
This looks awesome!
Just adding my name to the entries!
OMG. I want this. So. Bad.
My skin would be thrilled!
WOW! Thanks Mir, another great giveaway!
My skin and my wallet would love this!
I need beautiful skin!
Ooooooooh, I have horrible skin! It has to be my turn!
OMG I just went and read your review. I WANT THIS!!! I want to be as pretty as Mir! I never wear foundation and look like, well, like I don’t wear foundation.
thanks for the giveaway !!! this looks gr8.
My skin is screaming “help me!”
Would love this!
Sounds exactly like what I need. And if I could afford it I’d buy one anyway. Hoping the Random Number Generator and SONAR pick ME!
My skin is so stressed out these days!
I could really use this.
My skin, it needs help. With the helping. Of the ultrasonic type.
Count me in!
I hit 40 this year, send help!
Oh, pick me, pick me! (written in an Ellen Degeneres voice)
Thanks Mir!
Yes, please!
My skin can use all the help it can get…
looks like fun! thanks
This would be a wonderful thing to have. Thanks, Mir!
Awesome prize!
well, while we’re on the subject….adult acne does suck! maybe better than teenage acne, though? at least i can know it doesn’t really matter (whilst obsessing over it).
Sweet prize!
I’d love to say I’d give this to someone for a Christmas gift, but that’d be a blatant lie. It sounds so great, it’d be mine
Oh I would SO love this! Please pick me!
OOO Fun.
Oooh, I’ve had my eye on one of these for a while… Thanks, Mir!
Keeping my fingers crossed!
I need pretty skin!

Hmm sounds like something my skin would really like. . .
I was going to say that I never win anything so please pick me and then I saw the last post from Christen. Well, she isn’t the only one that never wins… but I keep trying!
Me please! My face could use some help!
Ooooh … I’d love to get a facial! A really good facial! At my convenience … maybe even everyday!!

Sadly, I’m at an age when I need the boost.
Hmmm, interesting
If it’s as good as the Sonicare I’m in.
Just turned 45. Need!
Please enter me. Since my skin hates me.
Oh, my skin and I would love this!
I’m a little frightened by this… but want it anyway!

Oh. Mah. Gaw! I have acne on my age spots!
If all goes well, tomorrow I will be having a date with my Clairisonic System and a bottle of wine… Thanks Mir!

My chin has broken out in 3 more spots since morning. My skin needs this! Pleeeeease pick me!
Oooohhhh! I hope it’s me!!
Oh, my poor skin needs that.
sounds wonderful… i keep reading great reviews about this device:)
Yup, I would like to try this miracle worker!

I spend all my time, money, and energy on my three kids. I could sure use something like this for myself!
Oh, I would love to win this (along with every other commenter, of course) – I’ve read all of the glowing reviews and would like to see if it will do the same for me.
I would love this. Pick me!
I’m all in!
That sounds great!
My pores would be ever so grateful!
Good grief, my blackheads will thank you. Wait, they won’t actually because they will be gone! But, I? I will thank you!
A face brush? So I can have clean pores AND long, luscious locks on my face? Crossing my fingers!
Sounds fantastic! Thanks
Isn’t everyone else just too pretty already to win this? I could definitely use this!
Very cool. Count me in!
I’m old and I need help
I am needing one of these! Thanks for the opportunity!
I’m, ageing and trying to do so gracefully, this might help the cause.
I liked the SONAR joke…
Acne is the devil. And he lives on my face.
Would love this! Great giveaway!
Sounds interesting!
love, love, love it
Awesome giveaway… I would love to try this!
As an ultrasound tech, it would be nice to have this done for me instead.
I could use a spa at home! Everyday!
I’d love to try this.
Sounds good to me… pick me!
Pick me, please!
Well I just read your review and I too would like a face that isn’t breaking out AND flaking because it is so dry!
My turn to win one!
I know my skin could use a little pampering!
I’ve heard so many good things about this system-I hope I get it
Me please!
Me, please, pretty Mir.
pick me! pick me!
I heart facials and your website.
ooooo pretty face!
My skin needs a lot of help in the winter!!!!
Sounds great!
Drool!!! What a great giveaway! I remember a time when I was about 17 and thought “at least I only have a few more years I have to deal with pimples.” Ha! Why did my 17 year old self not see my Mom’s pimples and realize I probably wasn’t going to outgrow my acne?
Woo! Sign me up! I would absolutely LOVE to win this. Thanks!
I’ve been having such trouble lately! Crossing my fingers REALLY HARD.
This is sooo funny. Right as I’m reading the SONAR joke, I hear the beep…beep…beep of a submarine SONAR system on TV! LoL Count me in for this one, please!
Interesting.
Sounds strange but I’ll give it a go. Fingers crossed!
Sounds very cool! I would LOVE this one!
I have adult acne AND wrinkles! AND I’m not in menopause yet, so just imagine what I have to look forward to!
Thanks for thinking of the Mommas!
Oooh! Read your review. Want pretty facial brush! (Though I would hide it from my boyfriend as he would make fun of me)
great gift
Count me in too!
My skin could use some help!
me!
241 already! I guess I’m not the only one who longs for luscious skin!
OMG you have no idea how badly I need help for my skin! I have polycystic ovarian syndrome, which causes my hormones to be all screwed up. In other words, I’m moody, fat AND covered with acne! And my hubby is deployed until at least January so this would really make my day!
My kids make me old. I need this
Please, let me be the one!
Ah yes, the beauty of acne and wrinkles, together. I really need this. What’s sadder, though, is that my 11 yr old son really, really needs this. THIS is something he would actually use on his burgeoning problem skin. Sure hope my number is random enough!
Pick Me! It’s my birthday and what better gift than to look younger Ha!
Love this, I’m all in.
I need clearer skin!
Funny how I “need” everything you offer in a contest! LOL! But seriously, my 38 year old, still fighting acne face, could use all the help it can get!
Ooo, looks great, thanks!
Pick me…pretty please!
I’m in!
sweet!
Pick me, Sonar, pick me!
I always look at this product and can’t ever justify spending that kind of money unless I know it’s going to have a big impact on my skin. Still, right now my skin’s freaking out so I’d probably be willing to try anything. If only I’d hit lucky and win something!
please, please
Oh – YES.
I need all the help I can get!
I need this!
Sweet! Please pick me!!!
this would be the coolest thing for me to say “its the first tim I ever won anything” about!
I neeeeeeddddd it.
What fun:) I would love to win this
I know just the person to give this to!
Excellent. Child 2 will HAVE to love me now… I might even have to (gulp) break down and BUY it for the Child.
My skin would thank you!
I am fairly certain that among all your lovely readers, I am the one in most dire need of this.
Seriously.
Yippee! Sign me up!
Beautiful skin, here I come!
Woo! Up here in the cold cold north, we get flakes…not snow, skin I tell you! I could use less flakes!
My combination skin needs all the help it can get!
I’m all for smoother.
I want to be pretty like you! Pick me!
Woo, woo! I think this is one that Oprah gave away last year, too!
I’m tired of my crappy skin…and it’s only getting crappier with age and changing hormones…
I hope the random number generator picks me
my skin would thank you!!!
Sounds yummy!
We have blackheads around here….we could really put it to good use!
Count me in!
Perhaps this could help disguise the lack of sleep for the past 14 and a half months? (Mommy still loves you Mya, but might love you a teensy bit more if she didn’t look wrecked all the time. Could we think about sleeping through the night yet?)
I would love to give myself a facial at home every day!
Mmm…this would be nice.
Count me in!
Ok…I NEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD this! Don’t make me send you a photo of myself! It would give you NIGHTMARES to see what our dear friend Ms. Menopause has done to my face.
Seriously…of all the contest items you have offered, this would truly be the most useful and appreciated.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed that the random number generator has forgotten that earlier remark I made…really, it was the hormones talking!
I have this little spot by my mouth that’s been scabby for months, I’d pay alot to make that go away. But free is always better
Oh this is really good!!
I think I need this. I get PMS acne which nothing, NOTHING clears.
My daughter would love this!!!
WOW! Huge response already! Id love this!!!
Oooooh, I’m intrigued.
My skin needs help.
i would like ‘one,’ please.
I’d like to give it a try…
I’d love cleaner, smoother skin!
Dear Random Number Generator,
My face would like this for Christmas.
Thanks,
Kerri
The big zit on my chin needs this for Christmas!
I don’t know who will love this more, me or my husband.
I NEED this, not only do I suffer from adult acne but, I am also currently pregnant which makes things SO much worse. Pick me random number thingy.
I have been coveting one of these babies for the longest time, but haven’t found a way to justify the big price tag. Pick me! (Please.)
Pick me.
sorry kids, this beats a wii game any day!
My adult acne and I would be delighted.
Ooh, I would LOVE this!
Hmmm, think this would make the tiny little blackheads I get on my nose go away?
My face thanks you!
maybe this time I won’t be a day late and a dollar short!
thanks,
This would be most wonderful! Thanks for the contest!
I would really like this. Pick me!
This would be great for my skin! Thanks.
Clear pores would be awesome! Thanks!
Oh. My GOD! How AWESOME would that be to win!
Awesome giveaway. And thanks for the headsup on the Best Buy drive, just snagged one.
Pick me please! I could use some pampering!
I’d love to try this. I don’t have acne, but one could drive a small car into my pores some days.
Something’s gotta make my skin look better–I’ll give this a shot.
I would love one of these! It’s just what I need for the problems I’m having with my skin.
Thanks Mir!
How’d you know I do all the work around here?
You are smart! I could sure use this.
Oh my land! This sounds delightful. Adult acne is the devil’s work.
wow!! sounds great!
What mother wouldn’t love to be pampered at a moment’s notice, in her own home. This sounds devine.
Ehhh. . . You never know.
I would love anything that would help my acne go away!
I’d love to give it a shot!
So glad you explained that sonic/sonar connection, because it wasn’t going to come to me. Cheers!
I normally use a gentle loofa on my face, but this sounds even better!
I’m turning 40 this week. Need help.
This sounds great!
if i keep entering your contests, i am bound to win one sooner or later…right? please?
I would love one. Thanks.
pick me! pick me!
Me please!
I was just saying today that I want one of these, but at that price I don’t think I can justify it. Maybe I’ll win one!
This looks cool! Pick me please!
I so want one of these, but the price tag is just a bit too steep…
my turn, please!
Mir, you have no idea how much my skin needs this. Please pick me!
Great review! Hope I win, because Santa is on a tight budget this year. Thanks, pretty Mir.
this is my lucky number! (starting now…)
OK, I’m going to try one of these contests. And, since my skin looks like that of a teenager about once a month, I could use one of these. (I won’t say how old I am, but let’s just say the early 90s ROCK!!!)
Please pick me & I will not ask to win another contest this year, Oh Wise & Beautiful MIR!!!
Sounds nice!
My wife would love this. Not that she needs it.
I would like to give me the gift of clear skin, so sign me up for this!!!
Shash
My face would love this…
I would really use one of these! pick me!!
Sounds fun!
I don’t want it, so you can just give it to my face!! haha
OOh, I have that on my wish list
Oh, pick me!
How nice would it be to get alittle pampering. Thanks for all the great contests!!
OH how I would love to be adult acne free…
Very interesting product! Thank you for sharing!
Your review is very convincing!
intriguing and a bit scary, but oh so relaxing sounding all at once!
OH random generator gods, please pick me!
Thanks.
I need some help in the beauty department!
Count me in!
Trying to win it for my wife. Thanks!
I’d like to try it. Thanks!
