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! I also love this Chantecaille Future Skin Gel Foundation.
• 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!

• Vapour Mattifying powder. This has so many uses! Absorbing oil, setting make-up, blending eyeshadow. (Watch my tutorial here using Beautycounter’s mattifying powder, to get an idea of how to apply!)
• Eyeshadow – I love these shades.
• Eyeliner
• Brow Lift
• Red Lipstick (Mac Red)

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 Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream. 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.
