Beautycounter, Safer Skincare

My friend Aimee knows that I do my best to take care of my health. Knowing this, she recently reached out to me about a company that is very dear to her, Beautycounter.  This skincare and makeup company stands for regulating questionable or harmful chemicals in makeup and skincare and are devoted to progress.  Apparently in the European Union they have banned over 1,300 chemicals in their personal and skin care products. In the U.S. they have only banned 30! I couldn’t believe this! Our skin is our largest organ and when you start to really think about what is topically going all over your body, it makes you pause and think about the potential negative consequences.

Beautycounter is an advocate of healthier safer skin care. They put their money where their mouth is and are heading to Capitol Hill for a MarchForth campaign to make change from March 3-5, seeking to educate and change the regulations and what is allowed in skincare products. March 4th is also Beautycounter’s 5-year anniversary. I usually like to keep things light on my blog but I thought this information/knowledge was too important to pass up!

After Aimee told me about this company I knew I had to try their products! I tried a variety of their lotions, soaps and face washes first and loved them! I also like their face oils. They smell amazing, my skin feels fantastic and oils are all the rage! I then bought a mask for myself and then the charcoal wash and mask for my daughter. She has only used it for a few days and she can see a huge difference.

I feel good about using their products and encourage you to give them a try. I am offering a giveaway for some fabulous eyeshadows, valued at $122! If you take a look at this link, https://www.beautycounter.com/aimeecarmody1  AND you order something you will be put into a drawing to win! I encourage each and every one of you to try Beautycounter. Beautycounter will also be on The Today show March 1st to further discuss the movement and helping regulating the industry! I would love to hear from you your thoughts on this topic!

What's In My Bag For Summer

What’s In My Bag This Summer

Wow!  Can you believe that summer is in full swing?  I am loving the early morning sunrises and the late sunny nights!  And of course all of the warm weather.  It makes you feel alive doesn’t it?  Well… today I am sharing what is in my bag.  It’s so funny to me that people just love knowing what is in someone’s bag.  I guess because it is a little taboo.  I never really gave it that much thought and maybe that is why it is so easy for me to share all of my favorites with you!

What's In My Summer Bag

The bag I am currently carrying around I purchased several years ago however, I found something similar to it on shop style.  Make sure to click the pictures below so you can find out where to buy one.  I love this bag because it’s kinda retro, lightweight and summery. Anyway, several of the items I am carrying are my absolute favorites right now.  I had a post a few months back about my love for Beautycounter.  They are the best!  Their lip gloss goes on so well and it is just the right amount of color for me during the day.  I also have some good stand by’s.  One is Nars lip pigment.  ABSOLUTELY the best.  I am not one to put lip color on several times a day so this solves that problem.  It is not drying and it is super consistent in color.  I usually put Beautycounter lip gloss or Bare Minerals on top of the stain.  I also have to have a spiral hair tie.  To be honest, I prefer my hair up and out of my face.  I realize most of my pictures are to the contrary but hair up is me! Another favorite for YEARS has been RayBans.  I just found out that you can even customize a pair!  I love the classic aviator because they look good on anyone.  They are well made and hold up to my abuse. The one thing I hate about a larger bag is I can’t find anything.  To help me out I love having several small bags and this clear cosmetic bag is great, I got several from Amazon.  I can easily identify what I need and they are a quick clean up!

I love being able to show you what is in my bag and my hope is you will enjoy these items for yourself.  They are great!  Maybe you can share with me some of the things you love in your bag!  I am open to new ideas.
