Beautycounter Holiday 2017


The Beautycounter 2017 Holiday Sets exceeded my wildest dreams this year! I had the chance to see these up close and personal weeks before they launched, while I was on my Beautycounter trip in California. My eyes were as big as cups when I saw them! It reminded me of an Oprah show taping where she surprised the entire audience with free products. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced.

I had been a consultant for just under a year when sets came out last year. They went over the top last year by releasing 2 amazing makeup palettes in addition to several new gloss colors and specially priced skin and body care sets. As quickly as the sets sold out, it had everyone feening for more holiday and more makeup palettes. Beautycounter definitely didn’t let anyone down in the makeup department! So, when I found out that Holiday was launching this year, I prepped my bank and my head for the best way to get the biggest bang for my buck and shop for the holidays.

What are the best gifts of all? The ones that come with meaning. When you give the gift of Beautycounter, you’re not just giving a beauty product. You’re giving something essential to everyone you love. A sense of care and protection that lasts far beyond the holiday. Here are the gifts that mean the very most. Here’s to safer beauty.

POPPY LIP DUO
Make an entrance with this party-perfect lip duo, featuring the shade of the season and a pop of peppermint.
