My Favorite Beautycounter Products

Makeup

My simple daily routine – 5 minutes

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

• Skin Twin Foundation. I wear 340 in the summer. (This shade chart is handy.) I use this brush to apply for sheer coverage or this blender for more coverage. This is what I use the vast majority of days!
• Concealer
• Cream Blush – I like chai, rosebud and lychee. (review here)
• Brow Pencil – I use medium. I put this on first to fill in sparse spots.
• Brow Gel – Dark. I put this on after the pencil to help thicken and hold hairs in place!
• Mascara – I use this Tarte primer, followed by Thrive Mascara.
  • If I want waterpoof, I wear Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes if I want waterproof.
• Lipstick – You can see lots of shades on me in this post.
• Lip Gloss 
• Sheer Genius Conditioning Lipstick– Lily is a great natural, daily color.

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.
• If you want more sheer coverage, go for Dew Skin tinted moisturizer rather than Skin Twin. I wear shade 2 or 3 – read my review here. (I use this when I want just sheer coverage.)

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.)
• 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 during the winter months when my skin starts to feel dry. We have radiators for heat and it’s SO drying!

My Skin Care Routine

Products are listed in the order I use them, along with AM & PM use noted.

Morning skincare routine

• Countertime Cleansing Oil
• Mineral Boost Hydrating Essence
• All Bright Vitamin C+ Serum (review here)
• Antioxidant Soft Cream
• Ultra Renewal Eye Cream
• Daily Sheer SPF (review here)

Evening Skincare Routine

You can see a quick video of my nighttime routine here.

• Countertime Cleansing Oil
• Mineral Boost Hydrating Essence
• SkinMedica TNS Advance+ Serum
• Overnight Resurfacing Peel – I use this 2-3x a week in place of the SkinMedica serum. (Read my review of the peelhere.)
• Tetrapeptide Supreme Cream – Thick and hydrating but never greasy.
  • If I’m feeling EXTRA dry, I use this Obagi Hydrate Facial Moisturizer. It’s super hydrating but I can’t use it during the day since I find it makes me greasy. It’s great overnight though.
• Ultra Renewal Eye Cream – the ONLY eye cream I’ve ever liked (including other Beautycounter ones 🙂 )

Weekly

• iS Clinical Active Peel System – I use this 1-2x a week. The first time I used this, I could not BELIEVE how good my skin looked the next morning! It tingles when you use it, which I LOVE.

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

Body & Hair Care

Hair

• Shampoo & Conditioner
  • I use this scalp scrub 1-2x a week for a deeper clean after super sweaty workouts or a few days of dry shampoo.

• I Create Lift Volumizing Foam – seriously SO much volume and smells amazing.
  • This is the blowdryer and curling iron I use. Watch my hair curling tutorial here.

• VIP Texturing Spray – more volume and flexible hold

Body

• Body wash
• Charcoal bar – I use this to wash my underarms and also use it to wash my makeup brushes (details here).
• Agent Nateur Deodorant
• Lemongrass sugar scrub – must have for summer or special occasions. Read my review here.
• Sunscreen – Countersun lotion or mist for body, Daily sheer for face.
