COUNTER+ LOTUS GLOW CLEANSING BALM
This is a facial cleanser, mask + moisturizer all-in-one! Now that summer is over you probably need a cleanser that is a little more moisturizing, but not only does this cleansing balm solve that problem, it will also keep your skin hydrated with a protective barrier of jojoba oil (which most closely resembles the sebum in human skin…making it much less likely for excess oil production to occur). The addition of lotus flower will leave you with a gorgeous glow instead of alligator skin!
Need an extra boost of hydration? Look no further than the Countertime Supreme Cream! There will not be a dry patch in site with this heavy duty moisturizer! Perfect as an eye cream, too!

FLAWLESS IN FIVE
Hands down the biggest time + money saver out there! This set takes the guesswork out figuring out which products work well together + how to get that no-make up, make-up look. This set of 6 products comes complete with…
A concealer pen that can double as a highlighter
Tint-skin or dew-skin foundation (both are light…dew skin is lighter)
Eyebrow pencil or gel (depending on your preference)
Volumizing or lengthening mascara
Powder blush (for that pop of color)
And a lip gloss for that last bit of shine!
The Beautycounter website walks you through picking out your colors although I will recommend going a shade lighter for the concealer (I used Fair all summer when I was tan). This is still the best set I have purchased from Beautycounter.
LUMINOUS POWDER HIGHLIGHTER
No fall beauty refresh is complete without a touch of bronzer. Get this in Topaz to double as a bronzer + highlighter now that your beautiful summer glow is probably slowly disappearing.

MELTING BODY BALM
Part cream, part oil…this moisturizer is just what your dried out skin will need to make it through the change in weather + when the indoor heating dries you out. Blah!
PEPPERMINT OR CALENDULA LIP CONDITIONER
It’s probably safe to say most women have a tendency to hoard lip balm to some extent. I am one of those women. These lip conditioners are great all year round, but definitely a necessity during the cooler months. Snag the combo set of one peppermint + one calendula to keep one by your bed + one in your purse.
NEW FALL/WINTER LIP COLORS
Whether your a bold lip lady or a sheer gal, Beautycounter has a great selection of colors perfect for a beauty refresh pout pick-me-up. These will take you well into the Thanksgiving + Christmas party season too!
My personal favorites are the Sheer Lipstick in Orchid (far left)+ Plum (middle) for a bit more color (but still subtle) + Lily (far right) for a hint of color/shimmer.
For a more bold lip I love (from left to right) 9 to 5, Girls Night Out, Little Black Dress + Twilight.
