couple of bargain questions Re: crocs and olayX/Clarisonic

[brooklyn615]

Ok, so i have two questions. Both of the sons want crocs all of the sudden! Is there any tips on buying them? How do you know if the fit right? Do I feel the toes? Do they run big or small?? Is there anywhere to find them on sale?? (I know, way more than two questions!!!)

My "second" question is about the clarisonic and olay X spin brush cleaners. I know that the clarisonic is a lot more expensive but I was hoping to get actual peoples reviews. I don't have 150.00 just hanging around for the clarisonic but if the olay is terrible, I would prefer not to waste money on that eaither! Can anyone give me any opinions or advice on these products??

Thanks, in advance and have a magical day!!!

I have heard wondrous things about the Clarisonic, but would have to be hypnotized before I could spend that kind of $$ on something like that. I do have the Olay Pro-X cleanser thingy, and I LOVE it.

My pores are practically invisible now, and my face is so much smoother. Plus, even at 45 I would always seem to break out in a couple of places once a month, but that hasn't happened anymore since I started using the scrubber. I've had it about 7 months now. I did learn one thing -- the sample of the Olay Regenerist scrubby cleanser that comes with it really does work the best with the tool. I tried a couple other cleansers with it when the sample was gone, but they either foamed up too much with the brush action or just didn't leave my skin feeling as "polished." So as soon as I had my hands on a coupon, I got some more of the original cleanser.

Just my opinion, but I love my Olay tool!

I just bought the Olay for 24.00 from amazon. So far I love it. I have only had it for 5 days now. I do plan on buying the same cleaner that came with it.

I've been wearing crocs almost exclusively since 2007, and I feel that they run true to size. My DS has been wearing them since he started walking as well, and when we had him fitted for "good" sneakers, he was a 12.5 wide (in stride rights) and he fits fine into his 12/13 Mickey crocs.

I have found great sales directly on the crocs website, as well as through sites like shoebuy.com, and rarely pay full price. I do, however know my own size well, so there's no question regarding the fit. You'll also sometimes see them at stores like Ocean State Job Lot, Big Lots, and even TJ Maxx or Marshalls, and sporting good stores like Dick's (I just checked their website to see what's near you, and Dick's might be your best bet). If you have any stores like that nearby, I'd suggest taking your kids there to try on different sizes. I know with my first few pairs I had caymans and beaches and they fit very differently, although they look almost identical. If you find something you like in the stores, you can always try to order from the website directly as well; they have sales fairly often.
Good luck!

Ok, thanks for the info. I was hoping to get my sons the crocs for his birthday but maybe I will take him to try them on first. I did find them on the Dick's website so maybe we will try the store. :O)
I think that I may try the olay brush. With the cleanser that they supply, is it abrasive? Do you use the brush everyday?

Okay, I bought the Olay over a month ago & really loved it! DH said I could treat myself to a facial, so I spent a little more & bought the Clarisonic a couple of weeks ago. (It HAS to be better than Olay, right???) I'm going to be honest, I don't think it cleans ANY BETTER than the Olay I even have the deep pore cleansing brush & I don't see any more change in my pores than with the Olay. If I were you, I'd save your $$.

you can get crocs at Marshalls for cheap right now,they're sort of 'out of style' so they're at places like that too look online the crocs website has some on clearance too......

I actually gor crocs at the Bon Ton with a 30% off coupon!! I ended up buying both boys the lego crocs, originally 34.99 with the 30%, both pairs for about 45.00!! I was so happy!!! The boys love them!!

Right now there is a $10 off coupon off $25 (SWIMFUN, or PICNIC). Plus if you use Ebates, get 3.5% back.

Scrub Brush
I have both the Clairsonic and Olay. The Olay is more gentle, but you need to buy the pads. The Clairsonic (which made me breakout) has the brush attachment which gives you a little bit more MPG, and you don't have to use their cleaner.

I haven't used the Olay brush but I have owned the Clarisonic for two years and I love it! It has made such a huge difference in how my skin feels and looks. When I start to think it isn't working, I skip a week or two and then go back to it. Such a HUGE difference. I started off with a cheaper brand before the Clarisonic and there was definitely a difference.

I just bought my first ( and most likely last) pair of Crocs recently. I hated them. I bought my regular size and they seemed big, I exchanged for a smaller size ( both bought online) and they were to small. They also made a horrible swishing noise every time I stepped down. Never again, which is a shame because the people that I know with them- love them.
