If you haven’t yet heard of Beautycounter, I’m thrilled to introduce you. And if you have heard the buzz but haven’t yet tried this line, you need to!

Beautycounter is more than a line of skincare products. It is company driven by a compelling mission to disrupt the beauty industry by questioning the non-regulated, harmful ingredients in the majority of beauty products and by getting safe products into the hands of everyone. Now this is a company and a mission I can get behind!

Beautycounter has banned more than 1500 ingrediants to set a new health and safety standard, giving it the strictest ingrediant list in the industry. Moreover, their products are luxurious and really do work, making it no surprise that this line is a favorite of celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Lauren Conrad and Connie Britton and that it has been featured in publications such as the Zoe Report, GOOP, Allure Magazine and the J.Crew blog.

My friend and Beautycounter Consultant, Shannon, recently gifted me the Countertime Line to try. {She’s giving away the entire collection, plus some other Beautycounter goodies, to a few Edit by Lauren followers. Enter to win at the end of this post!}

Here are a few of my favorite Beautycounter products so far ::

Countertime Radiance Firming Complex :: This is a firming/brightening serum that I have been using day and night. I have oilier skin and love how lightweight this is. I have noticed an increase in my skin’s brightness from using it.

Countertime Vibrant Eye Perfector :: I am in love with this eye cream! It is light, easy to pat under my eyes, and smooths lines while de-puffing.

Countertime Nourishing Cleansing Balm :: To be honest, this has not been an easy product for me to adjust to, but I am gradually developing a surprising affection for it! Since my skin is on the oiler side, I typically use cleansers that give me a squeeky clean finish. This cleansing balm is super hydrating and doesn’t give that squeeky clean feel, but it miraculously melts away makeup and hydrates like crazy! I am currently using it to cleanse my face a few nights a week and have noticed a dramatic difference in my skin’s hydration. {And I am learning that my skin doesn’t have to feel “squeaky” to truly be clean!}

Lustro Face Oil #3 ::  The Beautycounter Lustro Oils are referred to as “liquid luminosity.” I love the #3, formulated for combination/oily skin. It hydrates and brightens while clearing up the skin. I am using this nightly, but it can also be used during day.

Tint Skin Foundation :: Last but not least, Tint Skin is a great light-weight foundation that gives a dewy finish and evens out skin tone. I love wearing this to the gym and for days that I want very light-natural coverage with SPF. Read what one of my favorite fashionistas, Lauren Conrad, says about this product here.
