My Favorite Beautycounter Products:

Makeup

My simple daily routine – 5 minutes

I NEVER let myself run out of these products. EVER.

• Dew Skin tinted moisturizer. I wear shade 2 or 3 – read my review here.
• Tint Skin Foundation. I wear Linen in the winter and Sand in the summer. I usually mix the Dew Skin and Tint Skin for medium coverage – I put a little drop of each on the back of my hand and use this brush to apply. This is the first foundation I’ve EVER liked — you can read my review in this post!
• Satin Blush in Nectar (it looks just like NARS Orgasm) OR Date for fall/winter.
• Radiant Bronzer in Dune
• Concealer Pen – I use the Light shade and I freaking love this concealer.
• Brow Gel – Medium
• Mascara – I layer the Lengthening mascara over the Volumizing mascara. If I want waterpoof, I wear Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes if I want waterproof. (Tip with Beautycounter mascaras: put it in your waistband while you get ready. The formula works best when it’s warmed up a bit!)
• Lip Gloss – I am OBSESSED with Opal or Peony for summer. And I was NOT a lipgloss person before discovering Beautycounter’s lipgloss.

NOTES:

• This post has a video showing how I apply my makeup.
• If you’re looking to overhaul your makeup, the Flawless in Five set has everything you need for a simple, polished look and you save 20% off by buying it as a set.

Makeup I use when I’m doing a little more!

• Mattifying powder. This has so many uses! Absorbing oil, setting make-up, blending eyeshadow. (Watch my tutorial here.)
• Necessary Nudes Eyeshadow Palette – I am OBSESSED with this and use it every day. It’s a great option for eyeshadow junkies or people new to eyeshadow since it has so many options to help experiment to find what you like! (Watch my tutorial here.)
• Liquid liner – This was the first liquid liner I’ve ever used and I LOVE it. Tips for applying liquid liner are in this post!
• Brow Pencil – I use medium.
• Matte Bronzer – I like it better than Hoola (and it’s safer). I tend to prefer Matte in the fall/winter and Radiant (linked above) in the spring/summer.
• Highlighter – I was not a highlighter person until I got this! The three shades are perfect for making me look a little more alive, especially in the winter months.
• Brightening Mist – helps set makeup and give it a nice even glow. I also use this in the afternoon/early evening when my skin starts to feel dry. We have radiators for heat and it’s SO drying!
• Lip sheer – Twig is a great natural, daily color. And I get SO many compliments when I wear Rose or Lily.
• Color Intense Lipstick – Brunch and Garden Party are my favorites!! I also Beautycounter Red — it’s the PERFECT red. I’m wearing Garden Party in the below picture.

My Skin Care Routine

Morning skincare routine

• Countertime Lipid Defense Cleansing Oil
• Mineral Boost Hydrating Essence
• Tripeptide Radiance Serum
• Antioxidant Soft Cream (Day)
• Ultra Renewal Eye Cream – the ONLY eye cream I’ve ever liked (including other Beautycounter ones 🙂 )

• Ultra Renewal Eye Cream – the ONLY eye cream I’ve ever liked (including other Beautycounter ones 🙂 )

Read my review of all Countertime products with before/after photos here.

As needed:

• Charcoal Mask – I try to use this 1-2x a month. It’s amazing what a difference it makes to help clear my pores and gently exfoliate my skin.

• Primally Pure Plumping Mask – This is amazing for dry, aging skin. I like to use this in the AM once a week before doing my makeup.

• Face Oil – I use this when I fly or if my skin is particularly dry. I also use the Supreme Night Cream in the morning if my skin feels extra parched for some reason.

Body & Hair Care

• Daily Shampoo & Conditioner
• It’s a 10 Miracle Leave In (heat protectant + helps hold my hair when I curl it – tutorial here)
• Body wash
• Charcoal bar – I use this to wash my underarms and also use it to wash my makeup brushes (details here).
• Primally Pure Deodorant – My husband and I both use the charcoal one. Read my review here. Use promo code TERI for 10% off your entire order!
• Countermatch Body Moisturizer My husband and I both use this – I love the pump!
• Lemongrass sugar scrub – must have for summer or special occasions. Read my review here.
• Glow Shimmer Oil – another must have for summer!! I apply a few drops to my arms & legs after moisturizing.
• Body butter Amazing for dry skin. I use this in the winter.
• Hand cream I keep one in my purse, at my desk and in every bathroom. Love it.
• Hand wash & hand cream set. I keep the set by my kitchen sink)

My Beautycounter Side Gig

I’m a Beautycounter consultant and I truly love working for this company. I love their mission, their products and their affordable pricing for high-quality, safe products. I’m super careful about what I put into my body by selecting and eating healthy food, so it’s kind of silly I haven’t been more careful about what I put into my body through the skincare products I use. Not anymore.

I’ve made  a conscious effort to switch to safer beauty and skincare products — and Beautycounter has been the best way for me to do that. I love their products, I don’t have to do a ton of research since I know all their stuff is safe, and it’s not crazy expensive. You can read more about why I became a consultant here.

I really love sharing the best Beautycounter products I discover with my blog readers. And I would love to help you make the switch to safer beauty products too (even if it’s a slow transition, which is what I’ve been doing! Small steps are better than no progress at all!).

Be sure to sign up for my Beautycounter newsletter to learn more about their products and so I can keep you posted on any ways to save money.
