Every year, I seem to simplify my beauty routine. I've narrowed down my products, and many days, especially in the summer, I wear only sunscreen, a skin tint, mascara, and a lip balm. In my Instagram bio, I joke that I love a good lipstick. It's true. 


After at least 45 years of testing lipsticks, my absolute favorite brand on the market for a lipstick is the Clean Swipe Hyaluronic Lip Blam in the color Bitten-a Warm Berry by Counter. When I want more color, I choose the Sheer Genius Conditioning Lipstick by Counter in Orchid-Cool Berry. Last year, my daughter's cheer team wore hot pink and black, so I would wear those colors to every cheer competition. This year, her team colors will be neon yellow and black. Hmmm. I will go more neutral this year and perhaps choose Rosewood-Warm Neutral.

  • If you are traveling a lot, you may like the Counterglow Travel Edit. I use the Adaptive Moisture Lotion as my daily moisturizer. It's lightweight and perfect for daytime. I love to shower after my "happy hour" at my neighborhood pool, and use this moisturizer before cooking dinner. It's so fresh and clean, with no greasy feel. I hate the feel of knowing I am wearing lotion or cosmetics. I'm very particular about how my face feels.
