$50 Beautycounter Gift Card Giveaway!

UPDATE:  I used random.org to select a winner.  Congrats to Elle who said she would love to try the Tint Skin.  Thanks to all who entered!

I am thrilled to be able to offer you this giveaway today!  I started using Beautycounter 2-1/2 years ago after wanting to find safer products for my skin.  I realized that I already ate mostly organic and only used green cleaning products in my home - why would I use products with harmful chemicals that were absorbed into my body on my skin?  

The first product I tried was the Anytime Eye Cream.  I have sensitive skin, and every single eye-cream I tried (and there were many!) irritated my eyes and skin.  This is the first product that did not.  I became a believer and have slowly been expanding my collection ever since.  The products in these photos are my own personal products - I use them all and truly am impressed with everything I have tried.  That's why I am so excited for you to try them for yourself!

I introduced my sister, Kristen, to Beautycounter and after hearing me rave about everything I was using, she tried the products for herself. She liked Beautycounter so much that she recently became a consultant. She is sponsoring this giveaway and is also giving away a Protect Lip Balm to the first 3 people who place an order with the 33 Shades of Green Social!  If you have any questions about Beautycounter or need a product recommendation, contact Kristen at Kristen(dot)Ditta(at)gmail(dot)com.  She will be happy to help!

About Beautycounter

The Beautycounter mission is to get safe beauty products into the hands of everyone.

According to their site: There are more than 80,000 chemicals on the market today. Many don't have any safety data. This is particularly true of those used in the skin care and beauty industry. Only about 10% of the 10,000 chemicals commonly found in personal care products have safety data ... and the Food and Drug Administration (the agency that regulates cosmetics) allows companies to use chemicals known to be extremely harmful (lead, formaldehyde, and phthalates) in the products we put on our bodies and on our kids every single day, day after day.

At Beautycounter, they've banned more than 1,500 ingredients setting a new health and safety standard.

Check out this glossary of ingredients carefully chosen for use in the Beautycounter product line and this list of ingredients that you will NEVER find in their products.

I was a die-hard Lancome girl for years - I used their cream cleanser religiously and was nervous to switch.  I'm happy to say that the Beautycounter cleansers are great.  I use the Routine Clean in the morning, the Soothing Face Wash at night, and if my skin is feeling dry, the Nourishing Cleansing Balm.  I love all three.

I've slowly been switching over my lipsticks to all Beuatycounter.  The lip sheers are so soft and creamy and I love the lip gloss too.

Dew Skin and Touchup Skin Concealer Pen are two more of my favorite products.  Also, Beautycounter introduced their first mascara last week!  Click here to watch the inspiring video.  I am really looking forward to trying it.

I even have Beautycounter in the shower!  The shampoo and conditioner both are the citrus mimosa scent and smell so good!

Bonus!

Now thru May 19th, Beautycounter is offering a gift with purchase. Spend $150 and you will receive the Lustro Face Oil 3 for free! The Lustro Oil is $68, so that's a great deal. I use this oil several times a week and love it. I like to add two drops to my moisturizer before applying for an extra dose of moisture. I also like to use it int he evening on my face after I've cleansed when my skin is feeling dry. It feels like a mini facial for your skin!
