Let’s cut to the chase since its a Sunday + I rarely post on the weekends!
A common misconception when it comes to nontoxic beauty is that “It just isn’t as effective as conventional brands.”
FALSE.
FALSE.
FALSE.
There are SO MANY quality nontoxic beauty brands out there, there is no need to stick with the convention brands that are full of parabens + other toxic hormone disrupting chemicals. I’ll be posting more this week about what chemicals are harmful and why, but for now, let’s focus on some positivity.
One of my favorite brands is Beauty Counter. That’s why I joined as a consultant because I found their products to be of the utmost quality AND effective. Their lipstick? Stays on all day. Their moisturizer? Lucious ALL DAY LONG. Their foundation? Has SPF + its TINTED + I can’t go a day without it.
Don’t believe me? Well I asked a few others about what they thought about Beautycounter. I sent them a product of their choice and asked them for an HONEST review. Here is what they had to say.
Val Sullivan, blogger at Good Chives Only + holistic health coach, raved about beauty counters lipstick.
“I love this Beauty Counter lipstick – it honestly might be my new favorite clean lipstick line – and I’ve tried a lot! Not only is it super pigmented, it is long-lasting and has a cooling feeling when you’re wearing it. Almost like peppermint! I also love the shade and plan to wear it all throughout fall and winter. Knowing that I have the option to buy beauty products that are effective, beautiful + non-toxic is really important to me. You don’t have to sacrifice safety for beauty!”
The clean sunscreen was another FAVORITE. Camryn Hanna, instagram influencer has this to say about it:
“I loved trying this clean sunscreen. Not only was I into the 70s colored stripes on the bottle making for cute beach pics, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts.. this mineral sunscreen is great for my sensitive skin with ingredients like antioxidant-rich California Poppy. Other game changing details include the air-powered spray valve & reef-friendly SPF. What more could you want?”
Laury Raiken, a yoga teacher + momma of two, also tried the sunscreen and had this to say about it:
” I loved the beauty counter sunscreen! It smells great, has the most perfect mist (not too heavy, but hits a wide range), and I felt safe using it on my 7 + 4-year-old children. My son goes outside for pre-school every day and this is what I have his teachers applying at school! We have to e careful about what we apply to his skin because of his history with eczema flare-ups. Beauty Counter was perfect!”
WELL, that’s a no brainer, snag one here.
And last but not least, Blogger over at Champagne + Corsets, Carol Stella tried out the moisturizer and she literally had nothing but good things to say about it.
“Growing up I was always very conscious about what I put inside my body. I’ve always been a healthy eater buying mostly organic, very active and involved in many sports and never interested in smoking or recreational drugs. It wasn’t until this past year that I realized what I was putting ON my body was just as important. Every morning I have the same beauty routine and that is after my shower I soak my body in moisturizing lotion. As long as I can remember my go-to purchase was the “scent of the season” body lotion at Bath & Body Works. I just loved shopping for all the different scents and smells and even the way I felt – so clean and feminine after applying the fragrance-filled lotion all over my body. I’ve been experimenting with a few brands that make non-toxic lotions and so far there is only one that I’ve found decent and that is Mrs. Meyer’s Body Lotion. I look for lotions that are non-greasy, absorb quickly into my skin and still have a nice scent to them (without all the toxins, of course). After trying Beauty Counter’s Hydrating Body Lotion I am now hooked!! In all honesty it has all of the things that I am looking for and most importantly, I love how it makes me feel after my morning shower. Immediately after applying the lotion my skin absorbs it like a sponge. It is super lightweight, there is never residue left on my skin or my clothes and I am able to get dressed quickly after applying it. I also like the scent because it isn’t too over-powering for myself or for the people around me. This will now be my new go-to body lotion without feeling any guilt! “
