Tis the season to give the gift of clean beauty not only to those on your holiday shopping list but to yourself too! We all deserve to use the best and the safest clean beauty products on our skin and the best IS Beautycounter!

I’ve been using Beautycounter for over a year now! Not only have I noticed a significant difference in my skin but I also feel confident in the fact that my daily skincare and makeup products are CLEAN and actually good for me.

I’m so excited to share that Beautycounter is currently having their biggest sale of the year…15% off + FREE SHIPPING when you spend $50+. It’s rare that Beautycounter offers a percentage off AND FREE SHIPPING over $50 has never been offered in conjunction with a discount…so this is BIG. Now is certainly the time for you to take advantage of this sale, whether a returning customer or a new customer. The sale will run until 12/1 and the only exclusions are: collections, regimens, flawless in 5, and bundles. Holiday gift sets are included in the sale…YAY!

Okay, let’s get started…

One of the questions that I receive most is: “What are your top few favorite Beautycounter recommendations to get the biggest bang for your buck?” My response is always:

• Countertime Tripetide Supreme Cream – glowing firmer skin with a more even skin tone. This is part of my nighttime routine and I put this on every single night
• Countertime Tripetide Radiance Serum – radiant skin, smoother texture, reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I also use this nightly as part of my nighttime skincare routine.
• Countertime Ultra Renewal Eye Cream – reduces puffiness for a firmer more smooth undereye and it also reduces fine lines and wrinkles. This is a part of my nighttime routine as well and it works so well.
• Counter+ Overnight Resurfacing Peel – this peel is great for a brighter, smoother, more even complexion. You can use this a couple of times per week or every night before applying the Contertime products.

If you struggle with breakouts from time to time, I still do, I highly recommend the following products. They have truly helped me treat and keep my breakouts at bay.

• Countercontrol Clear Pore Cleanser – this cleanser deep cleans your skin while also exfoliating.
• Countercontrol SOS Acne Spot Treatment – I use this gel on my chin and on the lower half of my cheeks to keep my breakouts under control. I also use it as a spot treatment when I do have a pesky pimple pop up.

I use primarily Beautycounter makeup and I get asked a lot of questions about my top recommendations from our makeup line. I highly recommend the following products.

• Tint Skin Hydrating Foundation – our foundation is buildable so you can wear as little or as much as you’d like. “Sand” is my go-to color this time of year and “Honey” is my go-to color during the summer months.
• Satin Powder Blush – my favorite shades are “Guava”, “Raspberry”, and “Date”.
• Velvet Eyeshadow Palette – Romantic – this is the color palette that I used most and I absolutely love it. I also use our “Classic” palette which features more neutrals/browns.
• Lip Gloss – I wear our lip glosses daily…all of the colors are gorgeous and you can’t go wrong. Be sure to pick up “Opal” as this is the perfect top layer to wear over any lipstick color
• Other notable makeup products include some of our gift sets…my favorites are the Rosewood Lip Trio. Mini Lip Gloss Vault, and The Jellies. Any of these gift sets would make an excellent gift for someone on your list + they are 15% off!

Holiday gift sets…we have a lot of incredible options this holiday season which are part of our current 15% off sale. Treat yourself and treat others on your holiday shopping list. Our packaging is so beautiful this year so all you would need to do is tie it up with ribbon or put a bow on top…no wrapping paper needed.

Below I’ve listed a few other additional holiday gift sets that are some of my favorites. All of our gift sets are incredible but if you had to choose…

• Counter+ Skincare Favorites – this set offers several of our best selling Counter+ products in a smaller size so you are able to try all of them before committing to full size products. You’ll love these products!
• Glo & Go Mini Oils – our face oils are some of our best sellers and this gift set allows you to try all 3 face oils, which all serve a different purpose.
• Body Butter Trio – gift the entire set or break it up and gift one body butter to each person. Or buy a set for yourself!

I’m always happy to answer any of your Beautycounter questions and I’m super excited to hear what you end up ordering for yourself or for others! Beautycounter has been a game changer for my skin and overall healthy, more clean, lifestyle and I’m certain you will love our products too.

Explore all of my favorites and more HERE! I’m off to make a personal order myself!

Don’t forget that 15% off sale + FREE SHIPPING if you spend more than $50 runs for a short time and while supplies last so take advantage of this incredible sale now.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by…see you back here real soon!

Beautycounter has been on my radar for a couple of years!  I tried it for the first time about 2 years ago but for whatever reason, did not stick with it.  More recently, there has been even more buzz about Beautycounter so I decided to try it again and I’ve got to say that I’m so glad that I did!

Taking great care of my skin has been a top priority of mine for a long time!  As you know, I share a lot of my favorite beauty and skincare products here on KBStyled and you can trust that I will always share my honest opinion on any brand or product that I share.  Today, I will share why I decided to give Beautycounter another try and which products I’m loving most.

I’ve always strived to live a healthy holistic lifestyle and have become much more aware of how I feed my family and the products that we use over the last several years.  There is more information and knowledge now than there ever has been so I feel much more confident and educated in the decisions that I make for myself and my family.  I’ve learned that many of the products that we put on our skin and the skin of our children is packed full of chemicals that are not regulated or do not have safety data to enable us to make educated decisions on the products that we use.  What I love about Beautycounter is that this brand is conscious and thoughtful about what we put on our bodies and they are on a mission to eventually put safer beauty and skincare products into the hands of each and every one of us.  They have personally prohibited the use of over 1,500 questionable or harmful chemicals…you can trust that their products are not only effective but they are actually good for you.

Although we are not perfect and may never be, I do feel good in the decisions I’m making and adding Beautycounter into my daily routine for both myself and my family has been a small step towards a cleaner healthier lifestyle.  Now don’t get me wrong, I will still use many of my other favorite beauty, skincare, and makeup products BUT I will also continue integrating Beautycounter products into my daily routines as well.

So let’s chat about some of my favorites that I think you should know about!

1. Countermatch Adaptive Moisture Lotion – I LOVE this daily moisturizer because it provides hours of hydration, it is light on my skin, and it makes my skin feel so soft and smooth!
2. No. 1 Brightening Oil – this facial oil is a MUST!  This oil brightens your skin, softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and it absorbs quickly leaving your skin hydrated and silky smooth.
3. Cleansing Balm – this is also a MUST!  This balm is a multitasker that packs a big punch!  Use it as a daily cleanser and to help break down makeup and dirt from your skin.  It also provides a boost of vitamin C and it leaves your skin feeling hydrated!
4. Nourishing Rosewater Mist – this is a great toner that can also be used at any point throughout your day for a little skin boost!  I’ve always been a fan of rosewater and this mist is gentle on your skin and excellent for everyday use!
5. Radiant All Over Bronzer – I’ve been loving this bronzer this summer.  It goes on evenly and blends seamlessly!  It gives me the perfect glow without all of the harsh chemicals.

I’ve been using these products for several months now and absolutely LOVE them.  I am also starting to try some of their other products along with their makeup and will let you know my thoughts on them soon!  So far, I’m very pleased with my Beautycounter products and I’m a BIG fan!  If you are wanting to add some safer yet effective skincare products into your daily routine, I highly recommend Beautycounter.

If you’d like to try any of my top picks, you can try them at 20% off right now by using code LOVE.  This offer ends tomorrow, 8/13/18 at midnight so don’t delay.

Have you tried Beautycounter before?!  What are your thoughts and do you have any favorites?!  If so, I’d love to hear what your favorites are…leave a comment below!  If you ever have any questions, of course I am here to answer them.

As always, thanks so much for reaching out and I look forward to seeing you back here real soon!

I treated myself to a few of the beauty gift sets, I just couldn’t resist!  I’ll never forget when my Mom allowed me to start wearing makeup.  As a young girl it was such an exciting time and I remember going to Clinique to get some of my very first makeup and skincare products.  I’ve been a Clinique fan ever since!

Clinique will be offering great deals on several of their beauty gift sets including their “moisture favorites set”, their “spring into colour set”, and their “perfectly happy” perfume set!

Clinique Moisture Favorites Set:

Replenish and refresh your skin with this powerful trio!  You will receive a Moisture Surge Auto-Repenishing Hydrator, the Moisture Surge Overnight Mask, and Moisture Surge Supercharged Concentrate.  Use all 3 together for a powerful punch and wake up with rejuvenated glowing skin.  The overnight mask is my favorite!

Clinique Spring Into Colour Set:

This set is perfect for the makeup loving Momma!  It includes their liquid liner, mascara, an eyeshadow quad, and chubby lip colour balm, and towelettes to remove your makeup.  Each of these products will help you achieve a beautiful spring makeup look!  Although I loved each of the products in this set, I especially loved the pretty pink chubby lip colour balm!

Clinique Perfectly Happy Set:

Happy is such a fun “happy” fragrance…It has been a personal favorite of mine for years!  This set is such a great value because you receive a full size Happy perfume as well as a smaller travel size.  You will also receive a body creme!  This fragrance set is perfect for the Mom who loves to finish her daily looks with a spritz of perfume!

Spring is finally here and one of the ways I like to welcome spring is by freshening up my beauty routine with some new products!  Lucky for me, and all of you, the Belk Beauty Event has kicked off and they have some of THE BEST beauty products!  Talk about perfect timing..

I’m excited to share what I picked out from the Belk Beauty Event so let’s chat more about two of my favorite brands…Kiehl’s and Philosophy!

The Ginger Leaf & Hibiscus Firming Overnight Mask is a must have too!  I’ve never used an overnight mask before but I’m completely smitten with this mask.  This mask smells so good and in the morning my skin feels smooth, refreshed, and more firm! A little goes a long way and I actually recommend rubbing it into your skin versus letting it sit on the surface.  I truly think you will love this mask as much as I do!

Nothing makes me feel more beautiful throughout the holidays than getting dressed up for an evening out with Peter.  We love this time of year together and as a family.  From the traditions, to the parties, to the meaning behind each holiday…it is just such a special time!

We already have some fun holiday events on our calendar and of course I’m trying to stay ahead by pre-planning my looks.  From my dress, to my heels, to my accessories, to the fragrance that I will wear…every detail matters when prepping for a holiday event.

Before slipping into my holiday dresses, I will complete my routine with a classic beautiful scent like Ralph Lauren Woman or Ralph Lauren Romance from Belk, two of my absolute favorite feminine fragrances.  Woman by Ralph Lauren embodies the essence of modern femininity with a delightful fruit and floral scent and Romance by Ralph Lauren has a woody floral scent with a touch of musk.  Both fragrances are so classic, timeless, and feminine…the most perfect beauty accessory for any woman.

Not only are these fragrances the perfect finishing beauty accessory for a special event but they are perfect for every day wear as well.  I know many of us are planning ahead and starting to do some holiday shopping and Belk will be my go-to destination for gift sets including these Ralph Lauren fragrance gift sets.

This beautiful Woman by Ralph Lauren 2-piece gift set is under $100 and this 4-piece Romance by Ralph Lauren gift set is right at $100.  Both are such beautiful gifts for the lovely ladies in your life! This is such a great value for the price!

I encourage you to shop Belk this holiday season as they have so many wonderful gift sets that are perfect for every person on your holiday check list!

I’m off…I’ve got some shopping to do!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!
