who knew lipstick could be revolutionary

Beautycounter did!  

March fourth marks Beautycounter’s 6 year anniversary!  Six years ago Beautycounter embarked on a mission, unlike any other cosmetics company, to get safer products into the hands of everyone.  And today that mission has become a full-fledged movement as they are the leading company advocating for more health-protective laws for the personal care industry. 

And I could not be more proud to be a part of this incredible company!

Did you know ingredients used in personal care products aren’t required to be tested for safety on human health?  I sure didn’t.  I had no clue until I learned that the personal care industry is one of the least regulated industries in our country.  But Beautycounter is working to change that!  When formulating our products, we prohibit the use of over 1,500 harmful or questionable ingredients.  Because beauty should be good for you!

To celebrate Beautycounter’s 6th anniversary, we’re offering $10 off when you buy two Red Color Intense Lipsticks.  You can help spread the word about better, safer beauty by sharing Beautycounter Red with a friend.  But keep reading, there’s more to this anniversary celebration!

In Just 6 Years

There’s so much to celebrate.

  •  In 2019 Beautycounter made Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies List and was named the most googled clean beauty brand in 2018.
  • A Certified B Corp, with Bono as a member of our board.
  • Recently featured in Forbes and on the The Today Show.
  • Spotted being used by celebrity makeup artists on red carpets during awards season.
  • Numerous visits to Congress to encourage more health-protective laws.

Much has been accomplished, but there’s still so much more to do……

Start with Lipstick

So often people ask me where to start when it comes to cleaning up their beauty routine and switching to safer beauty products.  And I always say the same thing, “The easiest place to start is with what you put on your lips.”  Your lipstick is something you not only put on your skin, but it’s something that is inevitably ingested.  Something you kiss your loved ones with and drink your coffee with, lipstick for many of us is not just apart of our morning routine but a regular part of our every day.  Safety should be a standard not an exception.  But the unfortunate truth is that many conventional lipsticks are made with harmful or questionable ingredients, and most are not tested for heavy metals like lead.

At Beautycounter we not only formulate our lipsticks with safer ingredients, we also batch test color cosmetics for heavy metals.  Because Beautycounter believes high-performing products should never come with a health risk.

  • It is so overwhelming trying to clean up my routine. But I have started small by buying safe products once I have finished using something up. Pinned the number to send a text.

  • Done and done. Contest aside, this is worth sharing on all the social media formats.

  • I’ve been interested in Beauty Counter lipsticks and ordered one last year based on what the color appeared to be in a photo. Once it arrived, it was entirely different and I couldn’t return at that point. Why doesn’t BC make tiny samples you can try before purchasing an expensive tube? Because it isn’t located in stores, you can only go by a photo and colors can be distorted and mislead the consumer. I would think this could increase sales, even if BC charged for the sample.

  • Who knew, indeed! Having VERY sensitive skin I am always reluctant to try new products. I have been very pleased with the BC products I have tried. Pinned.

  • Hi Linda! Sorry to hear this. I agree choosing color cosmetics online can be tricky. As a consultant, you can always reach out to me if you’re interested in a sample. I don’t always have every product available for sample, but I have quite a few. That being said, Beautycounter does also offer a generous 60 day return policy! Every single order comes with a free return shipping label (similar to what Nordstrom does). So returns are very easy – no questions asked.

  • SO glad to hear that Mary! I love that Beautycounter understands that skincare is not a one size fits all, so they offer great products for all different types of skincare needs/concerns.
