Two months of Beautycounter

Greetings readers!

It's been awhile since I've been able to write but I wanted to give you a two month progress report on my skin.

In July I started using Beautycounter products (see previous posts).  I'm entering my twelfth week using the products and I couldn't be happier. Let me tell you a little about my skin journey.

As many of my readers know, I've struggled with many illnesses throughout my life and struggled with acne (not as bad as some relatives but pretty bad).  I was pretty self-conscious of it and didn't really know what to do. I had this patch on my face (photo below is the closest I could get to showing you) on the right side of my face that never went away. This was my problem area for as long as I could remember. When I transitioned to Paleo/gluten free, for the most part, after about six months, my skin started clear but I still struggled with some blemishes and pimples every few weeks.

Well, in July I started to use Beautycounter and I got a compliment on my skin this week. I have NEVER been complimented on my skin. I fully attribute it to Beautycounter.

Beautycounter is now in Target for a limited run and it's a little expensive (cheaper in Target than online FYI) but it's worth it.

Here are the products I own: http://www.beautycounter.com/skin-care.html

-Nourishing Rosewater Mist
-Body butter
-Lip conditioner
-Nourishing Day Cream
-Charcoal bar
-Purifying Charcoal Mask
-Eyeshadow
-Mascara (I'm allergic to most kinds and I'm not allergic to it.)



 

Beautycounter order has arrived!

I came home from work today to find my order!

I promptly laid it all out and checked it out. My first desire to was to try the peppermint lip conditioning balm. It's amazing. My lips feel so good. I am very pleased with it. It looks grown up and smells amazing. There's no weird taste and I really like how shiny my lips are with it on.

I washed my face with the charcoal bar and applied some cream afterward. The bar is so cool. It doesn't look black or grey on but really cleanses the face. My face felt soft and light afterwards. I applied some of the day cream post cleansing and that smells great and also feels very light.

I'm heading out in a bit and thought I'd throw on some mascara for kicks. It's the lengthening one and my lashes look so long. The mascara doesn't clump and so far my eyes aren't burning. I'm amazed at how long my lashes look. I'll take a before and after pic tomorrow. I'm also going to put on the eye-shadow tomorrow.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with my order!!!!

BEAUTYCOUNTER safer skincare

All over instagram lately, I've seen some Paleo folks raving about Beautycounter so I decided to check it out. I went on the site and they are having a deal so I went ahead and ordered some safe makeup and skin care. Yes, I use FatFace and it was great for my skin but it's expired so I thought I'd try something new :)

I ordered a few things: a charcoal bar, nourishing cream, and lip moisturizer. In addition to face care, I got some makeup. Many of you know, I do not wear mascara because it has gluten and it effects my eyes. But this mascara is the best out there for my allergies! I'm pretty stoked!!! I also ordered some eye shadow. There are days when I would like to wear a little makeup but don't trust just any brand. Once I saw some folks with SEVERE allergies using beautycounter, I looked into! I'm excited to be able to have the option to wear some makeup. 

Check them out! 

I'll review products when they arrive!
