My 6 Favorite Clean Beauty Products

March 11, 2020

I just hit my one year anniversary of joining BeautyCounter as an independent consultant and using their products. If you’re not familiar with BeautyCounter, they’re a clean beauty and skincare brand with a mission to get safer products into the hands of everyone. Read my clean beauty story.

What makes them unique? Beautycounter is working at the legislative level to eliminate 1,800 questionable ingredients from the beauty industry. The Founder and CEO Gregg Renfrew has testified in a congressional hearing on cosmetic reform to further move the needle and is continuing to work with members of Congress to make this change.

3 Nude Lipsticks That Look Good on Everyone

February 18, 2020

Last year I searched high and low for the perfect nude lipstick. There are literally hundreds of options! Once I found the right color, I noticed that the formula was a bit sticky and it felt like I was wearing paint on my lips. Not good! So I decided to see what Beautycounter had to offer and my mind was blown!Colors from top to bottom: Color Intense Lipstick in Backstage, Lip Sheers in Terra and Twig, Color Intense Lipstick in 9 to 5)

Not only do they have multiple lip lines (Color Intense or Sheer lipstick), but they are also clean and free of harsh chemicals. The formulas are incredibly hydrating and the color ranges are universally flattering for all skin tones.

Why I’m Choosing Clean Beauty + How to Get Started

August 20, 2019

In my research, I have found there can be a direct correlation between how our body functions and the products we use on our skin. Since the beauty industry is essentially unregulated, brands can produce products that are filled with toxic ingredients, carcinogens, and endocrine disruptors. I am often tired and experience elevated stress levels, and in addition, I have a hormone imbalance. By eliminating toxic products—and switching over to Beautycounter —I hope to improve my overall health. Hooray for clean beauty!

What I’m Wearing Dress: Banana Republic (via thredUp) | Jacket: Embellish c/o | Headband: Lace & Pearls Jewelry | Necklace: Lace & Pearls Jewelry | Rings: Rebekah J. Designs (here & here) | Sandals: Old | Purse: Rebecca Minkoff (old) | Lipstick: Beauty Counter (color red)

The long-awaited post is finally here! I polled my Instagram audience, and there was a resounding vote for a clean beauty post. I was a bit surprised and am excited to share both my newfound journey and the importance of choosing clean beauty and skincare products.

To kick off Discipline Month, I have been forcing myself to shower 🚿 , brush my teeth, and do my skincare routine every day. I also want to challenge myself to go outside 🍁 my house a few times a week. 😊
