Beauty Tip Tuesday: Beautycounter Favorites - June 2020

As many of you know, I'm beauty product-obsessed. It's super-important for me to also continue to swap out unhealthy products with those that are "cleaner" and safer.

EVER Skincare, part of the Stella & Dot Family of Brands, does a great job of providing "cleanical" products - and where they lack in product availability, Beautycounter makes up for it with their line!

I wanted to share a few of my current favorite Beautycounter products that I use in combination with my EVER.

1️⃣ Counter+ Eye Revive Cooling Masks

• Featured ingredients: Cucumber extract to calm and soothe skin, and Aloe Leaf to help to soothe and hydrate skin.
• Instantly awakens and refreshes the eye area.
• Ophthalmologist tested. Safe for contact lens wearers!
• $49 for 6 pairs; intended to be used once weekly.

2️⃣ Counter+ All Bright C Serum

• Unique blend of two ultra-stable forms of vitamin C delivers a supercharged 10% potency.
• Quick-absorbing formula allows for easy layering and an instant boost of radiance.
• Layer it underneath tinted moisturizer or foundation.
• Evens skin tone and improves skin radiance/brightness.
• Helps reduce the visible appearance of dark spots.

Featured ingredients include:

5% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C): Antioxidant that reduces the appearance of dark spots and boosts skin brightening, to reveal more youthful-looking skin. 5% Bis-Glyceryl Ascorbate (Vitamin C): Moisturizes skin while providing antioxidant benefits known to protect skin from damaging environmental stressors. Helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract: The serum’s vibrant hue? That’s thanks to turmeric, an antioxidant superstar that helps even skin tone and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Myrciaria Dubia (Camu Camu) Fruit Extract: This powerful antioxidant helps reduce the appearance of dark spots while brightening, to visually improve signs of skin fatigue.

3️⃣ One-Step Makeup Remover Wipes

• Remove makeup and cleanse your skin in one step.
• Naturally derived micellar formula.
• Super soft wipe traps makeup, dirt, and impurities with no need to rinse.
• Aloe Vera delivers hydration, while cornflower water soothes delicate skin.
• Gentle enough to use on face and eyes every day.
• Oil-free.
• No added fragrance.

When these were out of stock, I used other brands of makeup cleansers wipes, which I did not love as much!

4️⃣ Nourishing Rosewater Mist

• Skin-softening toning formula.
• Made with organic rose essence, purified water, and moisturizing sodium hyaluronate.
• To use, spray it on a cotton pad and swipe across your face to remove impurities.
• Can also be spritzed on the face for a refreshing pick-me-up (beauty tip: store in the refrigerator to give a chill on a hot summer day or after spending time outdoors!).
• Beauty tip: Spray a little of this into your tube of mascara to revive it as it starts to dry out or get clumpy!

Fall Favorites with Adore Me + Beautycounter

With fall weather approaching, many ladies are swapping their summer go-to makeup looks for some fall favorites. Before we see drops in temperature (c'mon cooler weather in Texas!), I wanted to share how my seasonal "go to" products evolve to incorporate fall beauty trends.

I've also partnered with an adorable, New York-based lingerie company, Adore Me (whose current Head of Design, Helen Mears, is the former Head of Design at Victoria's Secret!), to pair their fan-favorite lingerie sets with some essential fall makeup looks. I'm excited to share which products from Beautycounter that I would use to create the color combinations for each of these styles.

For pairing #1: Deep Berry Lips - Beautycounter's Lip Sheer in Currant or Plum - and Lip Gloss in Fig

(L-R) Beautycounter Lip Sheer in Currant & Plum and Lip Gloss in Fig

For a deep berry-colored lip look, start with the Lip Sheer in Currant, Raisin or Plum and layer together with the Lip Gloss in Fig, which goes on smoothly with no stickiness, for an extra bold color with shine (or wear the gloss alone for a light berry color)!

Beautycounter's Lip Sheers are an everyday "go to" for me, as they go on silky-smooth and have a lightweight, ultra-moisturizing, and long-lasting formula that is the perfect mix color and sheen. Plus, there's no synthetic fragrance - just a hint of vanilla!

For pairing #2: Blue Smokey Eye - Beautycounter's Winter Dream Palette

Tip: First, lightly press Bellflower (vibrant periwinkle - second color from the left) onto the eyelid and blend Marine (true navy - first color on the left) onto the upper lash line. Then, highlight inner corners of eyes and under brow with Opal (opalescent pink - third color from the left) - all from Beautycounter's new holiday Winter Dream Palette - to create a gorgeous blue smokey eye.

For pairing #3: "No Makeup Makeup" with Strong Highlight

We know that it takes multiple products to create that effortless "no makeup makeup" look!

First, apply Beautycounter's Tint Skin Foundation (apply with a foundation brush or blending sponge, for more coverage) or, for lighter coverage, Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer (can apply and blend with fingertips).

Next, using an angled brush, apply the Whisper (soft peach with a hint of pink) Blush from the Winter Warmth Palette to your cheeks, and then dab it onto your eyelids. For luminosity, dust Feather (opalescent sheen highlight), also from the Winter Warmth Palette, on the high points of cheeks, down the center of the nose and above brow bones using a powder brush.

Then, apply our best-selling Lip Sheer Lipstick in Twig and new Lip Gloss in Bare Shimmer from the Luminous Nudes Gift Set.

Finish the look with a few sweeps of Lengthening Mascara to define your lashes.

Products suggested: 1. Tint Skin Foundation or Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer | 2. Winter Warmth Palette (Eyes and Cheeks) | 3. Luminous Nudes Gift Set (Lips) | 4. Lengthening Mascara

For pairing #4: Peach Shadow - Beautycounter's Color Shade Eye Duo in Peach/Bronze

Beautycounter's Eye Duo in Peach/Bronze will flatter all skin tones! These satiny powders contain Porcelain Flower Extract, a Thai bloom known for its antioxidant benefits, to help moisturize the delicate skin around the eyes for a flattering, luminous effect. The two complementary shades are designed to be worn together or alone.

Tip: Use the Peach shade for a soft sweep of all over color, or add the Bronze shade to the crease for a more defined look.

Juliette Lewis's Beautycounter Favorites - Us Weekly

Catching up on my celebrity gossip this week, and while flipping through the pages of the October 10, 2016 issue of Us Weekly magazine, I spotted a few Beautycounter favorites in Juliette Lewis's handbag!

Juliette says, "I'm not really a makeup person, except for lip gloss. I have one from Beautycounter in Peony, like the flower. It's a nontoxic makeup line."

She also had in her bag the Protect All Over Sunscreen SPF 30, which helps to protect you against both UVA and UVB rays.
