Today is such an exciting day in the safer beauty world– Beautycounter’s Friends and Family Sale is LIVE!
If you don’t already know I am a proud Beautycounter Consultant–I have been with the company for almost 6 years and I’m passionate about our safer, high performing products as a solution to the lack of regulation in the personal care product industry!
Did you know that the US has only banned 30 ingredients (out of over 80,000+) that can be allowed in our personal care products!? Wut. The European Union has banned 1400 (which still is lacking IMO) which is better but dang! Come on US we can do better! Beautycounter has banned over 1800 and counting ingredients that we will never put into our products and we are doing research every day on safer solutions for ingredients that also are effective!
I joined Beautycounter for the discount (cliché I know) because I NEEDED the Cleansing Balm in my life and my husband ran the numbers and 25% off all the time was enough to seal the deal! I started looking at the products our family was using and started digging into the ingredients. I found out that many of the products we were using — and slathering on our year old baby — were not so great, harmful even, to our health! That pissed this mama right off and I haven’s stopped swapping out products/household items ever since! Luckily, Beautycounter has the highest, most stringent screening of ingredients that I feel confident using them on myself and our whole family! Everything from shampoo to foundation and sunscreen are all things we use in our house daily! As a product junkie and professional makeup artist, I love that not only are the products some of the safest in the market, they are also incredibly high performing. This is so important– why use something that is just safe and doesn’t actually work!? We want the best of both worlds, right!?
So let’s dive in to my top picks for the sale!
First–foundation– now is likely the time to swap out your foundation for a darker shade for spring/summer! Why not also swap to a safer option!? I LOVE our Skin Twin Featherweight Foundation! It is light yet gives beautiful second skin coverage! Never cakey and feels soooo good–moisturizing not greasy– on the skin! I use this on my clients and they rave about it as well! While you are add it– concealer is a must as well! I think I can speak for all of the mamas who say–give me allll the under eye concealer right!? I like to go a few shades lighter so that I can brighten my undereye as much as possible! Our newly reformulated concealer has a doe foot applicator and works great for not only concealing but also highlighting and contouring! I use 3 concealer shades on the daily–for real! 🙂 It’s also a great time to grab a new blush shade–we have both cream and powder blushes! I LOVE the caramel cream blush and nectar and melon are my top pics for powder blush for spring/summer! The cream highlighters are also absolutely stunning and I especially love them in the summer time! It’s also the perfect time to try out our Beyond Gloss in a new spring-y shade! I would go with peony or dahlia and if you are feeling a little more bold raspberry is stunning!
I would also suggest picking up a few of our best selling skin care products as well! My top pick, as I mentioned earlier is our do it all Lotus Glow Cleansing Balm! This baby seriously does.it.all. Removes makeup, cleanses, can serve as a hydrating overnight mask, helps with sunburn, rough patches of skin and the list goes on! This is my holy grail product and I highly suggest picking it up during this sale!
I would also suggest picking up these two glow-getters: the Overnight Resurfacing Peel and All Bright C Serum! If you are looking to increase radiance, reduce dark spots, get the most glowy skin of your life–these two will absolutely hook you up with major results!
A swap that is important to make for your health is a safer deodorant! There are plenty of harmful ingredients (fragrance and aluminum are common!) lurking in traditional deodorants and antiperspirants so switching to a safer deo should really be top of mind! Try ours out on sale and if it doesn’t work for any reason you can absolutely return it! There are not a lot of companies who make cleaner deodorant that have that as an option! I love that they are also recyclable and refillable— living up to our B Corp Status!
The 60 day money back guarantee goes for all of our products so if you find something that doesn’t agree with your skin or isn’t the correct shade, you can absolutely return it and the process is really easy! I am confident once you try some things you will fall in love–seriously!
