This giveaway is closed, and the winning number is 16 — Lisa from Balancing! Congrats, Lisa! And thanks to Clarisonic for sponsoring this generous giveaway!!! Merry Christmas, everyone!
In case you hadn’t heard, it’s almost Christmas. At the end of this month, I plan to take a nice long break from blogging, particularly the giveaways/reviews side of things, so this is probably the last giveaway of 2008. Since it’s the last one, I wanted to find a REALLY AWESOME product to give away this week. So I thought for a moment about some of my favorite products I’ve reviewed, and then I emailed the folks at Clarisonic to see if they’d be interested in sponsoring a giveaway. And they are! One lucky winner will be getting a Clarisonic Skin Care System for Christmas.
I truly love my Clarisonic. It’s like getting a mini-facial before bed every night except without the quiet dark room and the soothing sounds of waterfalls and ocean waves and the calming voice of the esthetician. So okay, not exactly the same. But the results are close! You can read my full review here.
And this week, I get to give one away for FREE! Y’all. That’s a $195 value.
Now if you don’t win, never fear. There has never been a better time to purchase the Clarisonic becuase during the month of December, Clarisonic is allowing customers to break their $195 payment into 4 payments to make holiday budgets stretch a little further. There’s an incentive for shoppers paying in full as well; with a $195 purchase you will receive a ½-oz renewal serum and travel bag — a $55 in value. And now you can also personalize your Clarisonic, making it an even more special gift. So if you’re looking for a gift for the girl who has everything, here you go! You’re all set! Or, you might just…
WIN IT! You knew that was coming, didn’t you? So yeah, for your chance to win a Clarisonic Skin Care System, simply leave a comment on this post. You can tell me anything, just no “nice giveaway!” kinds of comments, okay? If you “tweet” the post, you can double your chances of winning. Just be sure to leave a 2nd comment telling me that you put the giveaway on Twitter so you get your extra entry. And if you’re not on Twitter, why not!? You’re missing one heck of a good time. You can follow me at www.twitter.com/dcrmom.
The winner of the Clarisonic will be chosen at random on Saturday, December 20. Good luck!
Clarisonic sounds like something that could really help me out. I have very difficult problem skin – rosacea, with combo dry/oily spots. Maybe something like this would help even me out a bit??
hmmm…anything….hmmmm. ah, we had snow this weekend (wa state) and are expecting a winter storm this week. frankly, i hope we get it and they close school so i can have some down time from school and activities!

You know I’m on the lookout for a new facial regime. I don’t think I could convince myself to spend that much on something for my face, but I’m up for anything that’s free!
On a side note, you deserve to take a break! So when you do, enjoy it!
Oh, how lovely! I had never heard of this product before. That sounds like an awesome way to end a stressful day. I never manage to find any time to “do my face” — I constantly without makeup, but that also means I am without moisturizer, toner, cleanser, etc. This would be awesome!
I have been looking at this for my girls. My oldest has problems with breakouts even with the really good face cream. Just not in the budget right now. Sooooo, PICK ME PICK ME!!
Hugs and giggles :}
wow it some thing that i could realy use it looks realy neet pleaseenter me in for it it’s realy some thing a girl like me can olny wish for and well please enter me in thanks
Ok, I’ll admit it: I don’t know what twittering means. Does that mean that my blog’s going to be taken away from me because I’m not knowledgeable enough?
maybe 2009 will be the year of ‘my face’! my sister in law just gave me a gift cert for my first ever facial – will probably do it in the spring (need to get sitters and my parents will be more flexible in the spring!) and if I win this it could be what I use prior and after the 1st facial ever! Thanks for the chance to win!
Gosh, I wish I knew what Twitter WAS…. because I would enter that way too! So this lone entry will have to suffice. There are no facials in store for me, so maybe this can be my first? Pretty please?
And here is my “tell you anything” statement: I really HATE celery. 
What a fabulous way to end the year. I hope you have a wonderful rest from all of the reviews and giveaways . . . until they begin again
Thanks for the opportunity1

Nice giveaway
Hadn’t heard of this product before, but it really sounds like just what my skin needs. Winter is the time when my skin needs extra help.
My pregnancy-caused, oily, blemish-ridden, and yet still dry from the heater and the cold air-skin begs for this product!

I’m getting married in six months and want lovely skin for the big event. This looks like it could be my perfect solution. Please enter me into the draw. Thanks.
P.s. Loved your Christmas house tour. Your tree is beautiful.
I so need this and it is something I would never ever buy myself..because we all know how may Star Wars guys that kind of money can buy!! My wrinkles are pleading with you..
Ya know, my skin is worse now at 34, then it was in highschool!! What gives!!??
It really stinks.
This sounds so nice! If I win it will go to my daughter though~ She just hit the teen years and is wanting to find an easy way to clean her face and keep the black head’s at bay.
Thank you for a wonderful giveaway!
((hugs)) Mechelle
After seeing the “forehead” pictures on the website, it is clear that my skin care routine could be improved. Thanks for the opportunity!
It is like a home spa!! I don’t get to the spa for facials with a 5 month old baby! Now I can do my own and keep my skin looking as young as I feel!
I’ve heard of this product but my skin is soooooo splotchy at times. My dry zones are flakey and the oily ones could sustain CA for a week I bet! Ugh. I’ve never had a facial and don’t put much stock in stuff like this but it’s intriguing all the same.
I’d love to enter your giveaway. This looks fantastic!
I just tweeted about your giveaway: http://twitter.com/ihchicky/status/1060165098
If only I could have the skin I had when I was 20. I have more breakouts now at 42 than I did in my teens. Not to mention it’s either oily or dry…I never know what it’s going to be day-to-day. This sounds like something I’d love to try out.

I would love to try this product out. I am willing to try just about anything especially after my granddaughter said, “Mamaw, why to you have black under your eyes?” I could give legitmate explanations…but it still doesn’t look pretty!
Thanks for a chance to win and have a great day.

This looks like a great tool to add to my routine. I bet I could mimic the spa sounds you mentioned – if I steal my kids’ noise machine and turn it up loud enough to drown out their calls from outside the bathroom door. Have a great day!
This is a product I’ve never heard of but it sounds very interesting and worth a try! Thanks for the opportunity!
I hope you do have a nice break over the holidays!
I’ve been hearing about this, and I would LOVE love love to win it. You think all those loves would influence ‘ol random.org?
I am only 2 years from turning 40-will this keep me looking like I’m in my 30′s??!!
This product sounds great from reading your review. This second pregnancy seems to be causing my skin to go haywire. Maybe this is just what I need. I’ll send an email to Santa!
Anything?!? Hmmm…..I live in Florida and its 80 degrees! What’s up with that? It was pretty cold (by Florida standards) the entire month of November. Now, in December it seems to only be cold when I have to sit at the soccer field. I think there’s some sort of conspiracy going on……
I LOVE it!! I looked at one of these the other day. I really, really, really want it!!! Please pick my number!!
I really want to try this! I am 30 but my skin thinks it is 15!

I have heard so many good things about the Clarisonic – I would love to try it myself! I’m always looking for the next thing to “fix” my skin!
I have never seen this particular product before but it’s definitely something that I can use. I realized, in looking at my Christmas card photo this year, how quickly the little ones can age you!
I’ll leave a post although so many before me already did – you never know, right? I would like one of those, I still have problem skin and I’m 28. I thought it was supposed to go away in my early 20′s…guess not! Anyway, love you blog, I’m pretty new, I just found you the other day through a link on CNN and I’m so glad I did. Merry Christmas to you and all the readers.
Ooh I would love for my skin to be merry and bright. That’s great that they offering to break the payments up because times are tough.

I had been thinking of getting one of these babies for myself but after dropping $$$ on a generator this weekend that’s not gonna happen. This brush is perfect for an at-home facial.
I must live under a rock. I’ve never heard of Clarisonic before, but it looks WONDERFUL!
I’m following you on Twitter!
I don’t treat my skin very well. This would be a nice way to repay my face for all those years of neglect. =) Merry Christmas!!
Now that I am 31, I am interested in taking better care of my skin. TI have slight color variations and some large pores….this sounds like just the ticket!!
I am not allowed to twitter from work and I never have enough time at home…I just recently started reading your blog and I wanted you to know that I enjoy it very much! Thank you for sharing.
I’ve been hearing about this everywhere, just haven’t had the opportunity to try it. It looks like it would work wonders on my dry acne prone skin!
Oh I tweeted =] I’m pinupxdawl
I would love to try this!
y’know, i used to get facials on a monthly basis when i was working………sigh. Would love to have an at-home option! thanks
I came over from the Christmas tour and got sucked in by the giveaway. I’ve never even heard of this skin care system, but my skin could always use some help!
Ooh, this would do wonders for my 56 year old skin….thanks for the chance to win!
While I don’t normally have a problem with breakouts, I have extremely dry skin in the winter and hate to use products that will dry it out any more than it is…a facial at night sounds like a perfect way to end the day!

I was so excited to come across this giveaway! I was just on clarisonic.com last week and was checking out all their great holiday promotions. It would be an amazing gift for x-mas! I am also going to apply to this giveaway via twitter!
A facial at home? Sign me up! The cold weather has been wreaking havoc on my poor face! Gosh … it has been so dry and dull – ugh! I could use a Christmas miracle! LOL!
I could so totally use this!
I would love to get this for my wife. I had considered buying it but if I can win it, it would be even better. Happy Holidays!
Would LOVE to own one of these! Pick me!
I haven’t had a facial since before my son was born! It’s funny how there seems to be no money for those type of things once the kiddos arrive, huh?LOL! It would be great to be able to give myself one! Better yet, maybe I could teach the Hubs how to give me one!LOL!

What a treat for the bodies for sure…that’s pretty cool!!! I know that with three kids in the house, a husband that works or sleeps all day and (me) who takes care of everyone in the house, I could sure use some me time to relax and revitalize!!!!
My skin is acting so weird here lately. I would love to give this a try! Thanks for the great giveaway =)
I tweeted! http://twitter.com/simplyandreah/status/1061308545
what a GREAT giveway. I am still giddy from winning the Mixers
This looks like a great product! I’d never be able to afford it so I hope I win!
I’ve heard so many good things about this system and think it could probably help my scaly, breakey-outey skin. The price has never been in my budget, but hey, a free one would fix that!
I tweeted your giveaway! @delora
Oh man, my face needs this!
I have been wanting one of these, but just not willing to spend the money right now at Christmas time!
Off to see what twitter is…..never checked it out before!
My daughters have been bugging me for one of these. Thanks.
I joined twitter I think I tweeted your giveaway. @cosmickty
Love you love you love you love you love you.
This would be a great gift from my daughter who is having a tough time with breakouts right now…..oh the teen years…sigh! But the Clarisonic would sure make her smile for Christmas!!!! This is every teen girls wish to feel beautiful inside and out. Thanks for allowing me to enter. I hope I win becuase if I win my daughter definitely wins!!!
I’m loathe to admit this, but my (gasp! choke!) aging skin could use a pick-me-up. Would love to try this product! Thanks!
Oh I would LOVE to have one of these!! When my dd was in beauty school I used to go in and get a facial at LEAST once a month – and LOVED the way they made my skin feel – now that she’s out of school, they don’t do facials where she works – this would be the next best thing and right at home!!
Thanks!! FABULOUS giveaway!!

Tweeted it too!! Thanks again!!

Wow, I’ve never heard of that…. looks fun and interesting
I’d love to give it a try. Great giveaway!
This is an amazing giveaway – and my job is to look at giveaways all day, so I’m not just saying that
Thank you!
And for my second entry – I also tweeted this giveaway here
Wow, I’ve heard so much about the clarisonic and all it’s amazingness. Everyone who’s bought it absolutely loves it. I bet it would also help with the flakies, as those are also an issue at this time of the year. Thanks so much for doing this giveaway, your blog is so fun and entertaining:)
I would love it! thanks
Dear Santa,
I would be so happy if I could win this give away. My friend JoLynne has given away many neat things, but I think this one just might be meant for me. I have almost fifty year old skin so it needs a bit if help. I have never been one one to treat myself to goodies like this so winning it is my only option. I have been a good girl this year. I have tried anyway, I hope that counts, it is hard to be good when naughty is just so fun. Thank you Santa.
your friend, mzzterry
I just wanted to say that I heart your blog!
I would love to try this. I have seen this on TV and read various reviews. Like a lot of women I waited until adulthood to get problem skin. This may be the answer to my problems.
Now that I’m into my forties, I’m in need of a new “beauty routine.” Not that I had an old one, but it’s time to start taking care of my skin in a new way. I’d love to try this and I’m with all the other moms who would never dare spend such a large amount on a gift for herself!
I’d love to win this giveaway because I have a one year old boy who runs me around all day and ever since giving birth I just haven’t gotten my complexion back. I am searching for a better or new skin care system and I can’t afford monthly facials so I need something to use at home.
Great giveaway! I’d love to win as my skin needs some serious TLC.
Extra entry please! I twittered: http://twitter.com/Miss_S/favourites
I am a skin care/hair care junkie. I’d love to try this one
I have to figure out this twitter thing everyone keeps talking about. I’ll forward your giveaway via e-mail to some friends though 
I would love to win this!
me, me, oh pick me!!
This sounds really nice..and as for anything? My holiday Christmas party is this Friday & it’s supposed to be about 15 degrees outside! BRRRRR! thanks
I’ve been fighting blackheads and nothing seems to help. Why, oh why wasn’t I blessed with a nice complexion?
Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoy your break from blogging — we’ll be anxiously awaiting your return!
I’ve been following your reviews and I stumbled on another site that was looking into the system. Would love to try it and love your home. It looks like Christmas. Wish I had found your site sooner. We just left the Bethlehem Township area. Hope you guys are avoiding the bad weather hitting nearby.
Ohh I’ve never head of this before. It looks like it would make your face SUPER clean
Wow, I just read your review for product. I would love to use something like this that will work with my current regime. I’m definitely going to put this on my Christmas wish list.
I’ve read reviews of the Clairsonic before and fell in love with it before even trying it. I’d LOVE to own one, but they’re so expens! Have you seen the PINK Breast Cancer ones? They’re soo cute!
My sister has one & she loves it. I am in my mid forties & my skin is showing some signs of aging. I would love to have something that would work on my blotchy skin. I would love to try it & would be very happy if you picked me. Thanks
You always have such great giveaways! I’m way excited about this one and would love to win! Have a wonderul blogging break and thanks for the giveaway
Me! Me!
Is this for real? I definitely need a Clarisonic, the holiday stress mixed with final exams and having to write 4 papers in one week is reeking havoc on my skin! It sounds so nice the way you described it, like a mini-facial every night… I could use one of those! Now if only you were having a contest where I could win an A on all my exams…
Okay, seriously, I’ve been trying to think of a creative way to get my hands on one of these dealies. I WANT ONE. Badly. Having too many mid-30′s breakouts. (Going to Twitter this. Want me to give you my firstborn, too?)
Oh, how I’m trying to be better about taking good care of my skin. Obviously this is EXACTLY what I need!
I have been trying a few different things to make my skin look better now that I am on TV every month. I would love to give this a try.
I found you via Rocksinmydryer tweet and I have so enjoyed looking around your blog…I added you to my reader I enjoyed it so much!
Blessings.
I think something like this could really help even out my skin tone. And I got some Totes rain boots for $28 that were originally $60!
I don’t wash my face before bed. There — I said it. I know, I know, it’s awful. And someday I’m going to have terrible wrinkles. I got a sonicare toothbrush for Christmas last year, and it changed my life. (Well, at least my TOOTH life). And I’m thinking that this cool gadget can change my face-washing life, in the exact same way…. if I win. =D
Oooh, I’ve been coveting this since Mir’s review at Want Not. I didn’t win her giveaway–darn!–but maybe my luck will be better this time!
Oh this skin care system looks absolutely amazing!! I would love to try it out – especially since I have such chemical sensitive skin that I normally can’t use a lot of cleansers – this one would work wonders!
Oooh….I tweeted a link to your twitter and this giveaway as well!
First time I’ve heard of this. Sounds like it’d be nice.
I’m following you on twitter now – I didn’t put the names together.
And a facial every night?! You’ve got to be kidding. I might never leave the bathroom. of to check it out…
This would be amazing! I have even tried the ‘generic’ version, and it didn’t work
Would LOVE the real thing!!!
I would sooooo love this! My skin is looking less than stellar these days.

This sounds terrific! I would love to win it.
I have seen this wonderful “gadget” in some beauty magazines and have been wanting it….to have the chance to WIN it….eekkk! I sure hope that I do. I have been looking a little tired lately…I think I need it.
Does it work on other areas besides the face?
I TWEETED!!!
I tweeted also…oh my!
I could really use this — ever since my 2nd child was born, my skin has never seemed the same. Thanks!

I enjoyed reading about the Clarisonic and think my misbehaving skin would enjoy the pampering:)
I turn 30 on 1/16, and it is starting to show!!!! Thank you for offering this giveaway!
I just tweeted about it!
Clear skin, now what more can a girl ask for. Well chocolate that doesn’t add pounds, but hey I would love clear skin also.
Good thing I decided to catch up on your blog tonight. I want to win! Loved looking at your Christmas decor. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
I would love to try the Clarisonic Skin Care System.
I was reading their site and it sounds interesting and something my skin would love.

I think I may have missed the deadline for this giveaway, but I would give anything to win. I feel like I’m a 39 year old trapped in the skin of a 16 year old. And not in a good way!
