Nearly five years ago I swapped ALL of my beauty and makeup essentials over to Beautycounter! You can read all about WHY I made the swap here. But the moral of the story is that I decided to stop putting toxins all over my largest organ! š Beautycounter is clean, safe for the entire family and high performing! With free returns and exchanges and major discounts for being a consultant or band of beauty member, it’s a no-brainer! Over the years my skincare needs have changes so I wanted to share with y’all my current skincare, shower, and makeup routine! My skin looks better than it did five years ago and I’ve had two babies and LOTS of hormonal ups & downs since then. I think that says a lot about the products!
SKINCARE ROUTINE:
AM ROUTINE:
Countertime Lipid Defense Cleansing Oil – Inspired by Asian beauty rituals, this luxurious, lightweight cleansing oil gently yet effectively removes makeup and other impurities without stripping essential lipids from the skin.P
Countertime Mineral Boost Hydrating Essence – Lightweight but deeply nourishing, this milky moisturizing essence delivers vital nutrients to the skinās moisture barrierāinstantly boosting hydration and radiance.
Countertime Tripeptide Radiance Serum – This transformative rejuvenating treatment visibly increases skin firmness and elasticity, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Countertime Antioxidant Soft Cream – This velvety revitalizing cream improves skinās barrier function and boosts hydration, which helps protect it from daily environmental stressors.
ASĀ NEEDED:
Brightening oil – After I had Millie a strange dark spot appeared above my upper lip. My esthetician recommended a Vitamin C serum so I added Beautycounterās Brightening Oil back into my routine!
Reflect Effect AHA Smoothing Facial Mask and Tool Bundle – Talk about a dynamic duo. The Reflect Effect AHA Smoothing Facial Mask comes with a multitasking 3-in-1 Facial Tool so you can experience all the skin-smoothing benefits of this chemical-meets-physical exfoliatorāminus the mess!
PM ROUTINE:
I basically repeat what I do in the morning but instead of using the soft cream, I apply the Countertime Tetrapeptide Supreme Cream. Supremely rich and deeply hydrating, this cream supports elasticity and visibly firms while smoothing skin texture to minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Nighttime is also when Iāll apply the charcoal face mask if Iām using it all over and every few days Iāll use the overnight resurfacing peel! Still my favorite beauty product after all of these years!

MAKEUP ROUTINE:
After applying my skincare routine and waiting a few minutes for it to setā¦
Glow first priming serum – A hydrating serum that gives a plumper-looking and smooth appearance!
Skin Twin Featherweight Foundation – This is a build-able coverage foundation but it never feels cake-y!
Touchup Skin Concealer Pen – restocking soon! P.S. I wear the light shade!
Radiant All Over Bronzer – all over my face and neck. I love the lightly bronzed glow without the shimmer!
Satin Powder Blush – currently loving guava! Itās highly pigmented so youāll want to prep by testing a stroke or two on your wrist to determine the ideal shade!
Illuminating Cream Highlighter – I apply over my regular blush for a glow look. For reference, I use the pearl glow shade which is basically clear!
Eyeshadow Duo – in the pearl/champagne shade. This is a great everyday shade with just a bit of a creamy undertone!
Color Outline Eye Pencil – smooth, stay-put pigments that glide on gently and seamlessly, I stroke the top and bottom of my lid and then I smudge it a bit using the brush on the end of my pencil.
Think Big All-In-One Mascara – ultimate lift, length, and volumeāwithout potentially harmful ingredients!
Color Define Brow Pencil – helps provide a little structure and makes me feel polished and put together!
Brilliant Brow Gel – Flake-proof, foolproof, and easy to use, a tapered applicator allows for precision! I use the medium shade.
Color Intense Lipstick (currently swooning over 9 to 5 and Garden Party!) but for days when Iām hanging out at home Iāll apply my Sheer Genius Conditioning Lipstick! Itās so moisturizing.
Counter+ No. 3 Balancing Facial Oil – Itās so refreshing and has helped keep my makeup looking fresh all day long
SHOWER ESSENTIALS:
Sugarbuff Body Polish – smoothes, exfoliate, and hydrates with a refreshing lemongrass scent!
Daily Shampoo – infused with moisturizing and strengthening provitamin B5 and an uplifting grapefruit scent for a fresh wash!
Daily Conditioner – helps to nourish hair, smooth strands, and leave hair looking shiny!
Body Wash in Citrus Mimosa – the yummy citrus mimosa scent provides an instantly refreshing, spa-worthy experience!
