I was so excited to learn that the Beautycounter Friends and Family Sale starts today! This is a rare chance to get 15% off your favorite products or clean up your beauty routine if you’ve been thinking about it!  I’ve shared my make up favorites below but their skincare, haircare and body and men’s line are on sale, too!  My girls love the charcoal soap, the body scrub is a favorite and my hubby loves the entire men’s line.  I’ll be ordering the new Counter+ All Bright C Serum!

CERTIFIED CLEAN SKINCARE

As a Beautycounter consultant, I get a little advance notice and I’m so happy to share this sale with you as soon as I could!  If you’ve read my blog for any time at all, you probably know Clean Beauty is important to me and that Beautycounter is one of my very favorites.  Each of their products is formulated for performance with your health and safety at the forefront.  Beautycounter has a list of 1,800 ingredients that will never be used in their products. The Environmental Working Group as also certified most of their products as safe.  They all have ratings from 1-3 on the EWG safety scale.  That is clean beauty you can count on!

For a while, I had a pretty large team under me for this amazing brand.  But as the blog grew, I shifted my focus to building this space but I still have a small team and others who join from time to time.  If that is something you are interested in, drop me a line here. This is a great business opportunity and easy to build around your busy life.

This is the perfect time to upgrade and clean up your skincare routine.  Beautycounter has several different complete collections or you can mix and match.

There is a Skin Care Quiz to help you determine the best regimen for your skin concerns whether you are a teen or 40+. You can see the explanations of all of their collections on this page.  Here is a quick breakdown: Countermatch for Advanced Hydration and Age Prevention; Countertime for Age Defying and Antioxidant Protection (my favorite!); Countercontrol for Blemish Prevention and Mattifying; and Counterman Deep Cleansing and Safer Grooming. One of the first things I bought when I joined Beautycounter 5 years ago was the shampoo and conditioner.  A truly clean shampoo and conditioner are hard to find.  These two products have been my go-to.  I’ve tried others and always come back to these to keep my hair healthy.

Two of the products that had me hooked on Beautycounter were the No. 2 Facial Oil and the Cleansing Balm.  These products are Counter+ products that are great add ons to the skincare routines.

I’ve shared two of my favorite Countertime products here in this Anti-Aging Facial post.  I’ve loved using the Beautycounter Countertime Tripeptide Radiance Serum. This serum contains a powerful blend of peptides, amino acids and retinanatural plant-derived complex from Bakuchiol. Bakuchiol has been shown to provide skin care results comparable to retinol without the harmful side effects including skin irritation and peeling and sun sensitivity. Swiss Alpine Rose boosts the skins antioxidant defense. The tripeptide blend works to boost skin’s visible firmness and minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles while keeping the skin plump and hydrated.  At my last facial, Bakuchiol is what the aesthetician called “Botox in a bottle.” Um, yes, please!

Also, Beautycounter’s Countertime Tetrapeptides Supreme Cream is my new holy grail moisturizer! The first time I used this I couldn’t believe how velvety soft my skin stayed for 24 hours! I used it one evening and then the next morning was working from home, so I didn’t get ready until after afternoon carpool for we had an event that night. I couldn’t get over how hydrated and refreshed my skin looked all day long without applying any other product. The Supreme Cream also contains the Bakuchiol ingredient and a tetrapeptide blend.

CLEAN MAKE UP

Beautycounter has several new eye shadow palettes.  The 9-color palette comes in 3 color combinations: Classic, Romantic, Statement and Iconic.  They also have an 18 color palette called Necessary Neutrals.  The one I chose is Romantic. It is the perfect size for travel, too.   You can learn how I use the palette here.

I can’t say enough about the Beautycounter Creme Blush.  I use it everyday on cheeks and my lips.  This product is perfect for travel or popping in your purse because it is multipurpose!  It is perfect for the summer heat as it stays in place.  In the winter, it’s a great layer of moisture as well.  I use the Rose Glow cream highlighter blush for spring/summer.  The Pearl Glow is a great shimmer over my favorite Caramel that has been my go-to for years.  Caramel is perfect neutral and great on lips and cheeks.

The Touchup Concealer pen in light is something I use EVERY DAY no matter what.  It’s easy to apply, covers my dark circles well and lasts all day.  My girls are a bit more fair and use the Fair color.

And I’m a FOREVER fan of Beautycounter’s Mascaras. I use the Lengthening Mascara topped with one coat of the Volumizing Mascara.  They last all day, never need a touchup and don’t flake.  The mascara combo and concealer are the two products I never leave the house without using!

I love the Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer with SPF20 in Light (formerly #2). I use this tinted moisturizer as a light foundation. My favorite lip colors are the glosses in Opal, Bare Shimmer, Bellini and Dahlia and the Lip Sheers in Petal, Twig and Lily.
