Super Sonic

Last year, when I discovered the Clarisonic Plus, I was in heaven. It was the perfect gadget for a lazy geek who needed to get rid of her acne. However, as the year past and I had to do a lot of traveling, my Clarisonic Plus got used less and less as I found it to be a pain to pack for quick overnight trips. So when I was presented with the Clarisonic Mia (the little sister of the Plus) to try, I jumped at the chance. Like all Clarisonic products, the Mia uses a gentle sonic micro-massage action to deep cleanse the skin. The difference between the Plus and the Mia is that it’s smaller and lighter and just has one button for a one-speed, one-minute cleansing. My favourite part of the Mia however, is how you charge it. All you do is plug in this cable with a small button and it magnetically attaches to the handle of the Mia and charges. Very nifty.

The Clarisonic Mia is available in white and grey at JOYCE Beauty for HK$1,400. However, if you want to be uber special, be sure to take part in the Hong Kong Fashion Geek Photo Hunt as Clarisonic is sponsoring three Mias in either yellow, blue, or lavender which is not available for retail in Hong Kong. So watcha waiting for? Start hunting now for some awesome prizes!

2012 Hong Kong Fashion Geek Photo Hunt

We know you've been looking for a good enough excuse to get your butts off the couch and get a bit of exercise in, but there aren't any sample sales to motivate you... so instead, how about taking part in the 2012 Hong Kong Fashion Geek Photo Hunt? Last year we had a phenomenal response, so we decided this year (because we're masochists who like to give ourselves more work) as part of our commitment to Social Media Week, we'd reprise the competition.

How to play:

1. Visit hkfashiongeek.com on or after February 6 for the list of clues.

2. Travel to the participating stores and photograph the chosen items.

3. Email entries to photohunt@hkfashiongeek.com. Please caption your photo with its brand name and/or item name for verification, as well as your own name. You may email entries separately or all at once. Photos will be uploaded onto our Facebook page.

4. One bonus clue will be offered during the competition period, so check back to get that final clue, which may be instrumental in the event that more than one contestant achieves all seeded clues. Also, be sure to get your friends to rally for you by showing you love on the photos uploaded as that may also be a tipping factor if everyone gets clues and bonus clue! Although of course, we will also have some say on the final winners by judging your photography technical ability.

5. The person with the most items uploaded for contest period (February 6 to February 14) wins. In the event of a tie, see point 4 which will make or break your win!

For more information, email photohunt@hkfashiongeek.com
or tweet us @hkfashiongeek with the hashtag #SMWHKhunt
