Holiday Gift Sets With Beautycounter

Hi Lovelies~ I hate to admit this, but during the holidays when I am out shopping, I tend to buy two of everything.  It’s horrible I know, but when I find such great sales or holiday gift sets, I think to myself…maybe I need that too?  These holiday gift sets with Beautycounter are my absolute favorites each year.  I really try to go in telling myself, no…you don’t need that amazing travel bath set or those new eyeshadows that will only be sold in that set. LOL  Well, I decided this year I was going to grab my favorites early and then see who needed what for Christmas.

Who Is Beautycounter And What Are They Doing?

So, if you are new to Beautycounter, this is a company who’s mission is to get safer products in to the hands of everyone and never compromise quality or effectiveness.  They have removed over 1500 harmful chemicals from their products..is this not crazy to you?  The European Union has banned over 1400 chemicals from their products, yet in the states, the FDA actually has no authority over what harmful ingredients are put in our products.  Beautycounter is actively seeking reform in the cosmetic and beauty care industry in Washington.  So, enough of my soap box…let’s get to the goodies!

Let’s Talk Favorites…

If I had to choose only one item, it would be this eyeshadow palatte.  So many combinations and I love that each color at the top moves down for a three part color on the eye.  I mean who doesn’t want something that easy?  The other reason I love it, is that it actually gets me to try new colors that I would have orignially said were not for me.  You would be amazed at how many videos pop up on tutorials!  So, everyday I try something new! Another positive on these eyeshadows, is that they do not dust under the eye like so many do.  The pigment is incredible.  My favorite thing to do when wearing makeup is eyes, so to have this kind of pigment in what is deemed natural…well that’s a major win to me! Here is another palatte that’s a favorite of mine…

Products I Can’t Live Without

When I was first introduced to oils, I was a total sceptic!  I mean who puts more oil on their face?  I will admit that it took my face time to understand what the heck I was doing as well.  Nothing is an overnight fix…let me start there.  But as I continued to use them, my face felt soft and truly moisturized for the first time in years. As much as I protected my skin against sun, our skin drys as we age.  I would apply makeup and I had this film of dead skin sitting on top of my face.  When I starting using the oils day and night, it brought life back in to my face. Now, In all honesty, I have found a regiment that works for me.  I wash my face every morning and evening.  In the evening, I change things up every night.  I have already introduced you to The Resurfacing Peel, which adds a moisture and glow to my skin that I have loved! On the off nights, I add an oil to my nightly moisturizer.  Then, one night a week I do the charcoal mask and the cleansing balm below.  Every few months I go in and get a facial to really help remove the dead skin.

I am not sure why, but I am just trying this deliciousness!  The cleansing balm rubs in to the face and then wipes off with a wet cloth.  I can’t begin to tell you what your face feels like after…a little like a baby’s butt!  I mean it!  This stuff is heaven in a bottle.  Removes all makeup and leaves you so soft! Sometimes as a moisturizing mask, I leave it on all night and wash it off in the morning.

This charcoal mask is my entire families favorite.  I am always gifting these!  My daughter and I use this at least once a week to truly exfoliate the skin and clean up any acne.  I will say that my boys love the bar more.  We keep the bar in the shower and use it there.  Great for exfoliting in the shower!

Add On Items You Don’t Want To Miss Out On!

This is the craziest duo…the lipstick is clear, but goes on to everyones lips a different shade.  It adapts to your skin in a sense and adds a unique color.  LOVE IT!!!

This is the new men’s line!  These are sample size, but enough to get him started to see if he will love it!  My boys will each have one in their stocking this year.

Lastly, I am adding this listick set as one of my favorites.  I have not ever been a lipstick lover…I am a gloss girl.  Maybe it’s the feeling that my lips are thin, so color pronounces that?  I don’t know, but in any case, I have never really loved lipstick.  A friend told me how neutral and soothing these were so I decided to give them a try.  I have to admit, that I love them!  The Boardwalk color is probably my go to for everyday, then I add a coat of sunset over it.  Did I mention the mint in these lipsticks.  Super soothing and moisturizing! I hope that you fall in love with Beautycounter like I have.  Truly, there is not one product that I don’t love.  I can’t say enough about the changes in my skin or the performance of the makeup!
