Must Have Beautycounter Products

Beautycounter is 10 years old! I have had the most fun partnering with this company that is THE leader in clean beauty. They are leading the way in advocacy for safer beauty for everyone. It’s truly incredible to be a part of it. I’d love for you to explore more about joining the mission here.

My skincare journey is ever-evolving as I age, but some things remain the same. I’m sharing those products with you today, and I encourage you to consider making a safer swap like I have with these products. Let’s get started.

Skin Twin Creamy Concealer

I haven’t tried another concealer that hides the imperfections quite like this one does. It is truly a hero product in my book, and I’ll never be without it. I wear shade Light 1.

All Bright Vitamin C Serum

The benefits of Vitamin C as part of your skincare routine are endless. I am so happy to have found one that is gentle enough for me while packing a punch with two forms of vitamin c. My skin is brighter and healthier because of it.

Counter+ Charcoal Facial Mask

It’s the first product I ever purchased, and I’ve not been without it. I use it as an all-over mask and as a spot treatment. You will love how this mask makes your skin look and feel. (If you’re a person with acne or have a teen battling acne, this would be an excellent addition to your skincare.)

Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer

This is my go-to foundation. Yes, it’s just a tinted moisturizer, but it pairs beautifully with the concealer, so my skin can breathe while also getting the coverage it needs. I love how easily it applies with just fingers or even a blender. It has an SPF of 20, and I reach for it over a full coverage option any day. I wear shade No. 3.

Sheer Defense Facial Sunscreen

While the Dew Skin does have an SPF of 20, my dermatologist says that I need at least an SPF of 30 on my skin, so I layer these two. The thing I love about the Sheer Defense Sunscreen is that there is no white cast from the product, and it has an SPF of 25. So often we battle the white cast of sunscreen on a beach day, but on a regular day we do want to have it easier since we’re usually putting on a face of makeup. This is your product, ladies (and gentlemen). It layers beautifully under makeup and on its own. We all need that sun protection, and I have truly loved this sunscreen.

Beyond Gloss

Honestly, I can’t think of a bad Beautycounter lip product, but I do love the lip gloss. It is truly not sticky. I don’t know what kind of clean sorcery they have done to make it so perfect, but they have mastered it. It is made with responsibly sourced organic Madagascar vanilla, which gives it a lovely scent and a hydrating feel. My favorite everyday shade is Clove.

Top 10 Skincare Products and Tools

As someone who has had a sordid past with skin issues, I would say I have tried the lot of skincare products. I was on prescription medication as a teen and the mildest of all cleansers for most of my 20s. Now that I’m mid-thirties, I’ve finally found my sweet spot for skincare. I think you should always be open to change, but it’s a very good feeling to have found what works for me. Here’s a list of my top ten products that have significantly changed my skin for the better.

5 Minute On-the-Go Makeup Routine

Hello! As we enter another work week, my first full work week of 2022, I thought I’d share a quick makeup routine with you to help get us back in the swing of things. Most of the products I use come from Beautycounter. I love knowing that I’m making a better choice by choosing clean beauty. Making small changes, like adding one of these items to your routine, will significantly impact your health in the long run. Here’s what I do.

Daily Beautycounter Skincare

Since making the switch to safer skincare, I can really tell a difference in my skin. I went all in with the Countercontrol Collection, and it changed my skin completely when it comes to acne. Then I started using the Countertime Collection, which is the anti-aging line, and I am completely shocked at how great my skin feels and seems to be improving. While I’m still working my way through some of my Countercontrol and Countertime products, there are three hero products that won’t ever be leaving my bathroom counter. That’s what we’re here to talk about today.

Daily Beautycounter Makeup

While I like to mix things up a bit with my makeup look, I’m usually reaching for the same tried and true clean beauty products by way of none other than Beautycounter. As most of you know, I’m a consultant with the leading brand of clean beauty, and I couldn’t be more proud to be. The products are not only safe to use, but they are actually great, high-performing products. Today I’m sharing all the things I reach for day after day.

Holiday 2020 at Beautycounter

I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about the holidays and all the shopping we need to do, but it’s only a little over 70 days away. Luckily, Beautycounter always gives us some good options. The sets make easy gifts for besties, moms, mothers and daughters in-law, daughters, teachers, co-workers, and even yourself. Here’s a little breakdown of what this year’s goodness looks like so far.

Quarantine Self Care

Happy Beautiful Saturday! I hope you’ve all had a great week and are enjoying the gorgeous day we’re having. This morning I woke up with a desire to do a little self care, and I wanted to do a quick roundup of all the products I used. Most are Beautycounter, but you can always take the idea and adapt to the products you already have in your cabinet.

Better Beauty, Better Skin, and a Free Gift

Happy October 1st! That’s a thing we do in the Norman family. My mother-in-law’s family started it, I’m pretty sure, and now every first day of the month, it’s a competition to say, “Happy ____ 1st!” first.

Flex Your Freedom Beautycounter Sale Ideas

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you all had a fun and safe 4th of July celebration. We kicked the day off with a birthday lunch for Paul’s grandmother. She turned 91 yesterday and enjoyed a delicious lunch and some time on the golf course with her boys. Then I went with some of the girls to see Aladdin, and it was great! Will Smith was a pretty fantastic Genie. Funny that most people spent their holiday out on the water or at the beach, and I spent mine in a dark theater. Ha! At least I didn’t get a sun burn.

If I had been out in the sun, I’d have totally needed my Countersun sunscreen from Beautycounter. And that’s why I wanted to put this post together. Today is the last day of the Flex Your Freedom sale where you get a free skin-care set if you spend $175 or more. I wanted to make it easy for you to get to the $175 mark, so I’ve put together several ideas that will help you to add some #betterbeauty into your routine.

Tinted Sunscreen- Yeah, It’s a Thing

One of the great things about Beautycounter is its mission to get safer products into the hands of everyone. The key word being everyone. All genders, all ages, and all races. The tinted sunscreen is exactly the kind of thing that sets Beautycounter apart from all the rest in the sunscreen game. Well, that and the fact that it’s safe for you.
