Luna Mini Review - After Week One.


(Excuse the lack of exciting photo's, my camera is currently not working so all these are via my Samsung S3 and Instagram!)
As a beauty blogger, I regularly read about brand new products people are loving and are their 'holy grail' products - things they can't live without. One of the most known items to appear on mostly all of my subscribed bloggers and youtubers was a Clarisonic, a few different versions would pop up every now and again but it was always rated very highly and well, I wanted one for myself after seeing my favourite faces raving about it every month. 
 After my boyfriend questioning me about my Christmas wishlist, I was just about to add a Clarisonic on there, that was until I got received this very exciting email from Bzz about this new 'Luna Mini' product. I had never heard of it but was very wise on the whole powered face cleaning devices. After seeing it was very heavily discounted (£27.70 - with P+P instead of RRP £99.00) I wanted in. I was very happy to have booked myself a place on the campaign and there was an added extra bonus when I got to choose a colour I wanted - I chose the bright Magenta colour as I love bright coloured accessories. Literally 2 days later, my mum text me whilst I was at work to say it had already arrived, before the campaign had even started on Bzz, the first time this has happened for me. I couldn't wait to get home and rip open the box and use my new fancy product. I was worried about fitting it into my skincare routine as I thought it might need specialised products or it would be a pain to use but WOW - it's so easy to use and it will fit into anyone's routine. 
All you have to do is make sure you remove your make-up (I just use my Body Shop Camomile butter to do this with a hot flannel) lather up my face with my favourite cleanser or cleanser of choice that day (it's great because they don't try and sell you extra products - you can use anything with it but it does recommend you avoid scrubs and clay products to avoid damaging the silcone knobbles) and switch on the device with the central button. There are two speeds to the Luna Mini that are both accessed via the central button, you press once for the normal cleansing speed for the whole of your face and press again for the lower speed which is suitable for under eyes and I use this also on my nose. I originally for the first few days got a bit excited and used the back side of the Luna Mini. (There are 3 small sections on the brush. The front consists of mainly small knobbles and a few larger ones at the top suitable for normal everyday cleaning and the back is just larger knobbles which on the online manual suggest for deeper cleaning) Whilst getting over excited and using the back side for deeper cleaning twice a day for three days I actually hurt my skin a little and over cleansed. This just meant my skin was a little sore and putting on face masks and such stung a little. I changed back to the general cleaning for the next 4 days and the soreness disappeared. I am now just over a week of a Luna Mini user and I have to say, I don't know what I would do without it. 
My skin is baby soft, spots are disappearing, it is bringing out spots in places I didn't even know I could get spots in but this is due to the deep cleaning it is doing with the T sonic pulsations. BUT this is good in the long run as it brings them out to be cleaned away so they only last for around a day and aren't sore and can be easily covered with a bit of Mac and concealer. My skin is physically glowing - colleagues and friends are asking what highlighters or make-up products I am using and nothing has changed, just the Luna Mini is making my skin glow and look brighter and healthier. I have to say this is the best invention every and I am soooooooo happy Bzz gave me the chance to have this product. I love it and I am a total convert. 
When eventually my Luna Mini does become damaged (this will be a long long time away) and it falls out of my warranty, I would happily pay £99 to replace this. You have to try this if you haven't already, skincare addict is now addicted to a new product.
 P.S - It also allows your products to work better! So no more fancy products are needed, your simple skincare works 10 x better. Also on the mention of products the current cleanser I am using with this is the Balance Me Pure Skin Face Wash which smells amazing and is nearly all natural! I also have 35% off discount codes for anyone who wants to purchase a Luna Mini or any of the Luna range from Foreo. (below)

 *********CON'S**********
 - Would've been nice to come with a little carry case for travel maybe made from material or something 
- Would've been nice to come with a better manual, comes with basic instructions but there is a manual online that the user can print off 
-The RRP is a little unattractive to new buyers but trust me - it's worth it. 
I will review again in a few weeks time, maybe around the 6 week mark to see how much more my skin has improved if it does and how I am finding it as a long term product. Stay tuned!!
