I can’t believe the holiday season is here. We usually do a secret Santa with my family, and since I won’t be going to stores this year, I’m trying to get organized in advance. Shipping delays are also expected, so Beautycounter started the ‘Black Friday’ sale early. This is their biggest sale of the year, so it’s a great time to try new skincare or purchase gifts! Everything is 15% off with free shipping over $50. The big regimens + collections are excluded though.
1. Good Glow Body Duo – A Lemongrass Sugarbuff Body Polish and a Luminous Hydration Body Oil = perfect skin for the winter months ahead.
2. Softening Hand Duo – The perfect gift: a limited-edition hand wash and lotion in a fresh neroli scent. The set, which comes in elevated frosted glass bottles, cleans hands without over-drying and provides fast-absorbing hydration for soft, pampered skin. These are jumbo size at 465 ML / 15.7 FL OZ.
3. Golden Hour All-In-One Palette – Beautycounter hasn’t had a complete face palette in a few years and this one is GORGEOUS! It has four eye shadows, a blush, a highlighter and a tiny mirror! Ten percent of proceeds from this product will be donated to the Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation, which is dedicated to eradicating child labor and child exploitation.
4. The Jellies Brights + Shimmers – This holiday favorite is back in ultra- glossy shades and five sweet scents: Orange Cream, Raspberry, Sweet Plum, Fresh Mint, Red Pear.
5. Special Edition Cleansing Balm – The jumbo size cleansing balm is back this year and is a great deal (it’s 125ml instead of the usual 75ml). It’s perfect for winter skin because it doesn’t strip natural oils and is a favorite makeup remover. I bought this last Christmas and I’m still using the same jar!
6. Counterman Essentials – the perfect gift for the men in your life. Counterman Purifying Shampoo, Energizing Charcoal Body Wash (ladies tend to steal this one), and a full size Clean Deo (this one is refillable).
7. Polish & Protect Lip Duo – A nourishing balm in a pretty tube plus a peppermint sugar lip polish.
8. Beyond Gloss Trio – Our brand new Beyond Gloss in three shades – one for clear shimmer (Iris), one for everyday pink (Lilac), and one for Zoom holiday parties (Wildberry – I LOVE this one!) They all have the yummy Mandarin Violet scent.
9. Good Scents Hand Cream Trio – I wish they were available all year round! This year’s trio features three scents: Calm (sweet spice), Balance (similar to last year’s Mandarin Violet), and Uplift (a gentle lemon lavender). I love to break these sets up and give them as gifts for teachers or friends and pair them with other gifts like mugs and scarves.
10. Countertime Radiant Skin Set – My favorite Countertime Radiance Serum (anti-aging with a plant-based alternative to Retinol) with a facial roller to ensure serum is delivered deep into pores. This set is only $10 more than the serum alone and it’s the same size, so it’s a great value!
11. Winter Warmth Duo – Think of it as the LBD of clean makeup. Our Sunlit Highlighting Powder, in a weightless talc-free formula, gives skin a healthy glow—while our silky Cream Eyeshadow illuminates the lids.
12. Clean Deo Minis – our brand new aluminum free deodorant. This is great because you can try all the scents before the full size launches in January. I’ve been using it for a few months now and it’s among the best aluminum-free deodorants I’ve used.
13. Luminous Lids Cream Eye Shadow – A quick swipe of these shimmering cream shadows gives eyes a cheery twinkle. Four lustrous, silky shades glisten with responsibly sourced mica. Shades include Soft Gold, Onyx, Amber, and Amethyst.
14. Ultimate Renewal Bath Set – This luxurious set features a dry brush for micro circulation and exfoliation, a Lemongrass Sugarbuff Body Polish and a Luminous Hydration Body Oil. Talk about the ultimate self-care!
15. Good Scents Body Butter – A thick, decadent butter that absorbs quickly. The same scents as the hand cream, Calm (sweet spice), Balance (similar to last year’s Mandarin Violet), and Uplift (a gentle lemon lavender).
Of course, all the year-round skincare and makeup items are on sale too. My favorites are the overnight resurfacing peel, the Countertime tetrapeptide supreme cream, the makeup remover wipes, dew skin tinted moisturizer with SPF, and the Countercontrol clear pore cleanser! You can read why I love Beautycounter and my full skin care routine here.
If I don’t have time to pop back onto the blog next week, I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving even if it’s going to look different this year.
