Black Friday & Cyber Monday Beauty Shop Sneak Peek with Beautycounter

I usually post beauty items on Saturdays for my Beauty Weekends segments, but I wanted you to get a jump on Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals ahead of time- so check back on Friday at Beautycounter!

My friend Emily Genter Wyatt, Beautycounter Director, gave me a few items to try this month as the weather changed.

I love Beautycounter in that when I first met with Emily, she pointed out the Never List. Beautycounter items do not have ingredients that many other cosmetics do- around 1,500 questionable or harmful chemicals. This includes approximately 1,400 chemicals banned / restricted in cosmetic and personal care products by the European Union, like Parabens, Hydroquinone and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate.

So, this left me free to completely enjoy my great new cosmetics! As I get older (gasp!) and now with winter upon us, I need a cleansing and moisturizing system that nourishes and protects my skin. 

The Nourishing Collection gave me a great glow and kept my skin hydrated. As I’m in the pool year-round, my skin takes a beating with chlorine and cold water, so finding a specific system of care was important to me.

That’s why I love the facial oil- smells delicious like citrus and hydrates my face. I use #1, an oil fortified with Omega-rich marula oil, antioxidants and vitamin C to brighten and even.

Emily also introduced me to the Charcoal Cleansing Bar. This unique bar sucks up toxins while gently cleansing with coconut oil and green tea.

My favorite part of Beautycounter is the makeup, especially the lipsticks. First- they smell incredible with a hint of peppermint and they aren’t sticky. They come in about 10 shades and slick on super easy.

Beauty Weekend: Essence Make Me Brow Review

Girl, your eyebrows are on FLEEK. 

These words have never left my mouth nor have they been used to describe those two lines of hair directly above my eyeballs. I have never been the type of girl who paid much attention to her brows, therefore it was super unlikely for me to praise or recognize another girl’s fantastic job of tweezing, plying, shaping, or filling them in to utter perfection.

However, I wholeheartedly believe that eyebrows can make or break a person’s look. Whether they are too thin or too bushy, too dark, too light, or barely there at all, eyebrows can make you go from zero to one hundred real quick.

It took me a long time before realizing that maybe my face would look more defined if I lightly filled in my eyebrows, but everyone knows that the first time isn’t always what you’d expect. I walked out of the house looking like I had two orangey-brown squiggly lines on my face, and that’s when I knew brows just weren’t my thing.

BUT, my mind quickly changed when I discovered tinted brow gel. The less committed I need to be to a product, the better I feel because god forbid I make a mistake, it’s easy to fix. I tried Essence Make Me Brow brow gel in “Browny Brows.” Since this color was a little dark for me, I used a very light hand at applying it, just to give my brows the right amount of coverage. I then buffed the product in using a slightly larger clean brow brush to even out the color.

The applicator is so tiny and precise that it gives you all the power when applying and doesn’t feel too bulky in your hands. The shape and color stay for hours, and the little tube it comes in makes it beyond accessible for traveling and on-the-go touch ups. 

This is one product I would seriously keep with me at all times!

Day 5- Mainely Cole’s Organic Cucumber Revitalizing Facial Toner

Day 5!

Want a toner that doesn’t sting, strip your skin or leave it feeling heavy? Try Mainley Cole’s Organic Cucumber Revitalizing Facial Toner. I have fairly sensitive skin, and I spend a lot of time in the sun, plus I use sunscreens that probably aren’t the best for my face (more on that later and which ones to use!), so finding this product was like Christmas!

This refreshing toner is an all-natural product made by Heidi in the great state of Maine. After a thought-provoking conversation with her father a few years ago, Mainely Cole’s came into existence after her father was gone.

“My father and I were discussing ingredients that people were using on their skin. It is the body's largest organ and everything is absorbed through it. The conversation seemed scary, but it was soon forgotten until months later after my father passed away suddenly,” says Heidi.

It’s Mainely Cole's goal to create the finest products from ingredients from around the world. They aim to produce excellent skin care items that are all natural and organic, plus help provide the vitamins and minerals that your skin needs to be healthy and amazingly beautiful, while still being good to the environment around us.

I quite enjoy this product, makes my skin glow, ordering is super easy, Heidi is a dream to deal with, and today, enter the code CRAFT at checkout and save 25% off your entire order!!

I guarantee you’ll be back for more- incredible products for your skin, all natural and good for you- you won’t want to miss this!
