Monday Must Haves - 5 Beautycounter Products I'm LOVING right now + ON SALE NOW

Have you ever noticed that there are things in our lives that we didn't know we needed until we tried them for the first time? That's how I feel about most of my Beautycounter products because I have never been the make-up girly-girl. I'm still not, but I do know a lot more about beauty care now that I care about what we are putting on our bodies.

So, just in case you don't know, here's a little background on Beautycounter.

As a FASTer Way coach I care about what people put IN their bodies and encourage clean, whole foods. Once I learned that MOST beauty products (make-up and skin care) are filled with unregulated toxins, I wanted to advocate using clean products ON our bodies as well. So I became a Beautycounter consultant.

Here are some of my 2020 work from home, Zoom ready favorite products:

Beyond Gloss Trio - Limited Edition colors

I love Beyond Gloss, but I'm beyond obsessed with these colors. I think women look amazing in lipstick, but I've always preferred the glossy look. 

Golden Hour All-In-One Palette - Four shadows, blush and highlighter. 

Perfect for getting ready for client calls and work trainings on Zoom. Plus, I'm looking forward to taking this to New Hampshire next month for my stepdaughter's wedding. Perfect colors and simple for travel.

Countertime Radiant Skin Set - Countertime Tripeptide Radiance Serum and Turn Back Time Facial Roller. 

I absolutely love this combo! The serum has been part of my morning and evening routine for awhile, but now it feels like I'm giving myself a little mini-facial every time I massage it into my skin with the roller. It also works well with the Counter+ All Bright C Serum.

The Jellies - Brights and Shimmers

Back to the lips! These jellies are extra glossy and each one has its own scent experience. Fun tip: you can punch a hole in the end to add it to your keychain and your gloss will never be left behind again.

Luminous Lid Cream Shadows 

My eye shadow is usually pretty low key, but I'm loving the hint of sparkle that comes from the responsibly sourced mica in these creamy shadows. 

I have many more favorites, but these are a few products that I find myself looking forward to using each day lately. The BEST news is that Beautycounter's Great Holiday Gift Event is going on right now and you can save 15% off each of my favorite products plus free shipping on orders overs $50! Treat yourself or buy a set and break it up to give as multiple gifts. Act fast though because inventory will be selling out before you know it. Sale ends 11/29/2020

Friday Five: Summer Favorites from Beautycounter

I have been using Beautycounter for a couple of years, slowly switching to clean products once I learned that what we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put in them! 

Did you know the average woman wears an estimated 63 disease-causing chemicals on her skin every day? Hidden toxins can have a big impact on our health. In cosmetics alone, the European Union has banned or restricted more than 1,300 chemicals. The US? Partially bans 30.

It’s up to us to be smart consumers and purchase products that are in line with a healthy lifestyle to reduce our overall toxic load. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of waiting for the government to protect us when it comes to the food and beauty industries.

               

Here are 5 things I am loving right now:

Countersun Mineral Sunscreen - I love that this light, creamy lotion goes on easily and a little goes a loooong way. I usually prefer sprays because lotions can be thick and heavy. It is also reef safe, which is important to me as a Hawaii resident. 

Countertime Collection - Admittedly, I've never used a full line of products before (cleanse, prep, treat, protect). Now I look forward to washing my face every morning and night! 

Skin Twin Featherweight Foundation - I feel like I've spent most of my life looking for a foundation that didn't feel like I was wearing foundation (including other BC products). THIS is the winner for me! It's hot in Hawaii and this doesn't feel like my face is melting off - even if I have makeup on before a workout!

All Bright C Serum - I recently added this to my morning face routine because I have sun and age spots on my face and chest that I do not like at all. I have seen a noticeable lightening of the spots on my face and my face is just overall brighter.

Lip Gloss - Just like the name says, it's glossy! I've always been a lip gloss girl. I am very picky about the brand because I don't like sticky or thick. This makes me feel glam, even in my athleisure wear. 

I recently became a Beautycounter consultant so that I could help get clean beauty into more hands. Using safe or clean products that do not have toxic ingredients not only helps your skin, it can lower your risk of other health issues like skin cancer, nervous system issues, reproductive issues, and more!
