My Guide to Beautycounter's 2023 Limited-Edition Sets!

Ah, my favorite time of the year for Beautycounter is here! Each fall, Beautycounter unveils limited-edition holiday sets. I love these so much, and not only because I love gifting safe products to our teachers, family and neighbors this time of year, but also because the sets are super fun ways to enjoy all Beautycounter has to offer. And at a great price point (up to a 37% savings!).

If you are new around here, I shared why I advocate for this brand in the blog post here and here. Beautycounter is a cutting-edge makeup and personal care product brand that I love because it bans 2,800+ harmful ingredients in their products, they are a B Corporation with bold sustainability goals, they responsibly source their ingredients, they advocate for more health protective laws (and have helped pass 14 clean beauty laws to date!), and they are safe for everyone. Everyone means everyone - which I just love. They are bold in their messaging and are countering the dangerously-outdated beauty industry.

If you know me, you know that I am ALL for speaking up for ourselves, demanding better and following our heart with what we know is right. Beautycounter is all of those things for me and it aligns with a lot of my values.

I wanted to do this blog post to break down the sets and help you find something you may need or a gift for someone you love! These are limited supply so I wanted to share them now so you have plenty of time to check them out!

Scroll down to check out my guide…and always reach out and I’ll also help you find just what you need!

Polish & Plump Trio

Brighter Days Skin Care Set

Countermatch Carry On Set

FOr THE BEAUTYCOUNTER NEWBIE

Are you brand new to these products? If so, you can use CLEANFORALL20 on your order to save 20% off! And don’t forget to add the Band of Beauty perks with your order so you always get 10% product credit back, free shipping over $100 and a free welcome gift!

If you’re new to these products, I would look at these three sets because they have our core line of best sellers (all of my favorites!!!!)

  • The Brighter Days Skin Care Set - I would get this for the vitamin c serum alone and at a great price of $39!! The c serum is a staple that I wear daily to brighten and even skin and it works for all skin types!

  • Polish + Plump Trio - This set has 3 of my favorite products. The water cream launched this summer and is like a filler without the filler - and instantly plumps fine lines and wrinkles. And you get the OG favorite cleansing balm and the AHA Mask that leaves your face feeling baby bottom soft. All I have to say is that your skin will be feeling GOOD after using this set.

  • Countermatch Carry-On Set - This is a great way to try the entire Countermatch line - a line perfect for normal skin, sensitive skin, combination skin…. I love it because it adapts to your skin and gives it just the hydration that it needs. Plus, this set comes with a great mesh travel bag. You can buy the full size after using this set and refill these travel size glass bottles whenever you travel! They are refillable.

Parfum Duo

Keep Cool Radiance Duo

Goodnight & Glow Duo

FOR THE BEAUTYCOUNTER Lover

If you know what’s up and love everything you try, here are some sets to snag! With a few new products!!!

(Also - If you already love the products, I would suggest joining as a brand advocate because you would get your own affiliate link and a 25% off discount. It’s so fun to share a brand and mission that you love)

  • Parfum Duo - HUGE NEWS! Beautycounter has launched a brand new category - fragrance. Why is this important? Because the fragrance industry is super dirty (no one has to disclose ingredients because they claim trade secrets, so scents hide hundreds of chemicals, many of which are hormone disruptors). If you are already a Beautycounter lover… try this brand new producft!!!!! You will get two scents - Miles Way and Sun Spill.

  • Goodnight + Glow Duo - This is a great exfoliating set for any Beautycounter lover. The best-selling overnight resurfacing peel for the face and the new overnight resurfacing peel for the body. Hello to soft and even skin!!!!

  • Keep Cool Radiance Duo - This set has fun little facial tools that help depuff, so for the skin care gurus out there - you gotta try it! And comes with the Countertime Radiance Serum that is jam packed with the safe anti-aging Retinatural Complex that Beautycounter uses in the coveted Countertime line.

Shimmer & Glow Makeup Duo

Mini Beyond Gloss Set

Hidden Gem Makeup Set

FOR THE MAKEUP LOVER

If you love yourself some clean beauty. Or any beauty in general, these sets are worth trying out!

  • Hidden Gem Makeup Set - This has a new cream blush shade in Jewel and I am obsessed with it! It’s so pretty and universally flattering. It also comes with a mini primer, which is hands down one of my favorite Beautycounter products. It gives a glow with skin care benefits and is also a primer and helps makeup last longer. You apply before any makeup, or just last in your skin care - if you are not applying makeup.

  • Shimmer & Glow Makeup Duo - This one has a talc-free highlighter that is so pretty and a cream eye shadow. Such pretty shades for fall and winter too, to give a glow. A fun fact is that all Beautycounter makeup is tested and screened for heavy metals. This is important especially because a lot of talc-free brands out there can actually be high in heavy metals (like the carcinogen lead!). You can feel really good about wearing Beautycounter makeup on your face. And why I do.

  • Mini Beyond Gloss Vault - This is such a favorite of mine because I LOOOVE Beautycounter’s lip glosses. They are hydrating and never sticky. I always have one in my bag or purse.

Main Squeeze Lip Jellies

Lashes & Lips

FOR A TEEN

The teenage years are some of the most important times to use safe products that are not filled with hormone-disrupting chemicals. Again, another reason I recommend Beautycounter. Our children and loved ones deserve the best.

  • Lashes & Lips - I love this set for a minimal makeup look. Mascara and a translucent lip (that changes to a pink that’s different on everyone!), and with a cute little pouch. Perfect for any teen or someone just starting out with makeup, or those who want a minimalistic look.

  • Main Squeeze Lip Jellies - These are a hit with my nieces and daughters every year. This year, the package is sooo cute, too! Makes it so giftable. Every girl that loves a lip gloss deserves a safe one!!!! We ingest what we apply to our lips, so it’s important that it’s a clean product. These jellies are each the equivalent of a full size lip gloss, so you also get a lot with this set.

FOR A TEACHER/Care GIver

I love breaking up these sets and including in gifts to my kids’ teachers around the holidays! These are perfect as one gift or broken up for multiple.

  • Good Scents Hand Cream Trio - I get these every year to break up for teachers. Perfect to put with a gift card and wrap up. I also keep one for myself because I always have a hand cream in my bag, and these are always so popular and smell so nice.

  • Body Butter Set - This is another set that is perfect to break up and gift to teachers with a gift card, chocolates or tea!

Sugar & Silk Body Set

FOR AN EXPECTING MOM/NEW MOM

  • Sugar & Silk Body Set: Hands down any new mom or pregnant mama deserves this. Or just any person that needs some me-time and self-care!!!! It has a full size body oil and full sized Sugar scrub. Two of my favvvvvorite body products and in a new rosewater scent. This set is seriously SOOOO dreamy. And comes in a pretty box and all you need is a ribbon and you’re done.
