Beautycounter Review

Even before I tried anything from Beautycounter—the California-based personal care brand dedicated to safe, non-toxic products—I have now been impressed. 

In the spring, I interviewed founder Gregg Renfrew for the brand's launch in Canada (they've experienced the US since 2013), and discovered her goal of getting cleaner cosmetics in more people's hands. 

While the item aren't necessarily natural, they're free of harmful chemicals, and boast chic packaging that wouldn't look out of place at any high-end department store. I also appreciate Beautycounter's transparency on ingredients. Their Ingredients Glossary explains what's in each product, and why (because "scientists shouldn't be the sole ones able to decipher the label on a cosmetics bottle"). There's also a "Never List" of the no-no what you'll never find inside their formulas. 

So just how do the products compare well? Now that I've had the ability to here's another selection of their makeup and skincare, my full report is below!

Beautycounter Lip Gloss

The Lip Gloss is non-sticky, super-shiny and extremely moisturizing. It will come in seven shades; I tried three: Peony, a bright, Dahlia, a mauve with pink undertones, and Buff, a nude. Although there's not a large quantity of colour payoff, I love how these feel on the lips, and the high-shine texture is truly pretty.

Beautycounter Purifying Charcoal Mask

The Purifying Charcoal Mask is a clay and charcoal breathing apparatus that absorbs oil and draws impurities from the pores. This is often suitable for oily or congested skin—or, if you're into multi-masking, it could be used by you to your T-zone and put an alternative solution mask in your cheeks. It comes with a steamy texture and you're built to leave it on 10 minutes; by that point, it's dry, but easily comes off with water. 

Beautycounter Charcoal Cleansing Bar

The Charcoal Cleansing Bar is a non-drying, sulfate-free soap that's claimed to absorb impurities (thanks to the charcoal powder). I'm unsure about this, since it's not on your skin layer for more than a couple of seconds, but I appreciate so it doesn't leave my face feeling tight, like other bar soaps do. In the event you're wondering, it lathers clear, not black—therefore you don't need certainly to concern yourself with building a mess in your sink!

Beautycounter Citrus Mimosa Body Bar

The Citrus Mimosa Body Bar is a finely milled bar soap with a simple, refreshing scent. It's also sulfate-free and full of shea butter, such so it won't dry your skin. If you're purchasing a high-quality soap that'll last a substantial whilst in your shower, this can be a superb option top mlm company!

Conclusion

So there you've it—the lowdown on everything I've tried until now from Beautycounter !

Overall, I do believe the item are high quality, although the price points are high (on par with luxury cosmetics). The makeup I reviewed here ranges from $36 to $51 Canadian, for instance, and the skincare from $30 to $55.

However, if you're like me and focused on harmful ingredients, the safety profile makes them worth it—and of course the gorgeous textures and packaging. Tell me...
