Paige Minear of The Pink Clutch<\/a><\/strong><\/span> blog sent me the Best of Beauty Counter Set<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and the Flawless in Five Make Up Set<\/a><\/strong><\/span> a couple of weeks ago just so I could try them out and review them. (She’s a huge advocate of the brand and knows all the ins and outs!) Before that, I had never tried anything<\/em> made by Beauty Counter and honestly didn’t really understand what all the hype was about.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In case you don’t know, make-up products are not regulated by the FDA in the United States. That means companies can put\u00a0whatever the heck they want\u00a0<\/em>in your products! Beauty Counter’s mission is to deliver luxury, high-end skincare + make-up products that are free of any harmful ingredients. To be completely transparent, I know I will always continue to use certain products that aren’t necessarily “good for me.” I’m not the girl who is going to preach about natural products to you day and night because it’s truly not something I know enough about!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With that said, I’m here today to tell you specifically about the Beauty Counter<\/a><\/strong><\/span> products I’m LOVING and the ones I don’t really care for. This review is coming strictly from the standpoint of whether or not I love the products compared to other brands I use (Urban Decay<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, Stila<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, Aveeno<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, Wayne Powers<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, etc.!) The\u00a0bonus\u00a0<\/em>for me here is knowing that I can feel good about using the Beauty Counter products I love, but continue to use other brands I can’t give up! Keep scrolling for my review of each product + the official product descriptions from beautycounter.com<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cleansing Balm<\/a><\/strong><\/span>: I was soooo skeptical of this product. Why would I want to smear a balm all over\u00a0my face full of make-up to cleanse instead of just using face wash?! It truly does feel like a luxury product and gently removes every speck of dirt and oil on my face! You can also use it as an overnight mask which I have really enjoyed. So moisturizing for winter skin!<\/p>\n

“This multi-tasker is a skin care trifecta: daily cleanser, makeup-removing balm and overnight mask. Formulated with nutrient-rich raspberry and cranberry seed oils and vitamin C.“<\/em><\/p>\n
