Their colour collection has finally made it to Canada. The range includes eyeshadows, blushers, bronzers, brow pencils, eye pencils, concealer pens, and lip shades. I have a few of the products that I had the opportunity to try out that I can share my opinions on with you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/brkub9btnw\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Beautycounter&nbsp;Colour Shade&nbsp;Eye Duo<\/strong><\/a> ($43 CAD) &#8211; These square eyeshadow duos come in a slim cardboard compact, with a mirror, and share the same pan. The shades are meant to be timeless and flattering to a variety of skin tone. The available shades are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pearl\/Champagne<\/li>\n<li>Shell\/Malt<\/li>\n<li>Fawn\/Night<\/li>\n<li>Oyster\/Amethyst<\/li>\n<li>Slipper\/Slate<\/li>\n<li>Peach\/Bronze<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/realizingbeauty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MTQyNjM0NDE1MTgwMjkzNDQ2.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>I have the <strong>Shell\/Malt<\/strong> duo. The shadows have a smooth, easy to blend formula but I found the pigmentation to be on the very subtle side.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ingredients: Talc, Mica, Caprylic\/Capric Triglyceride, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Silica, Zinc Stearate, Capryloyl Glycine, Undecylenoyl Glycine, Lauroyl Lysine, Hoya Lacunosa Flower Extract, Tin Oxide. May Contain: Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide, Manganese Violet, Carmine.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Beautycounter Colour Outline Eye Pencil<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; These eyeliners are meant to be a waterproof formula that&nbsp;contains rosemary leaf extract, a natural antioxidant, and sunflower oil, to give&nbsp;them a creamy, emollient feel. They include&nbsp;a smudge tip on the end of the pencil for blending. They contain no &#8220;unspecified waxes&#8221; or fragrance. For some reason I can&#8217;t find these online. There are four available shades:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Black (matte)<\/li>\n<li>Brown (touch of sheen)<\/li>\n<li>Violet (touch of sheen)<\/li>\n<li>Navy (matte)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/realizingbeauty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MTQyNjM0NDE1MTgxMDc5ODc4.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>I have the <strong>Navy<\/strong> liner and it was hard and sheer. The swatch below is after&nbsp;multiple passes. I also was able to rub easily rub off the liner off with my&nbsp;fingers.<\/p>\n<p>My favourite product from the line that I tested is the lipstick. The <a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/brkufhbtnw\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Beautycounter Lip Sheer<\/strong><\/a> ($38 CAD) is a sheer, glossy lipstick that offers even colour application and has a lovely scent.&nbsp;The formula is meant to be silky, lightweight, yet ultra-moisturizing and I think they have met these standards beautifully. I was really impressed by how long the lipstick lasted given the sheer, shiny formula. The yummy scent comes from just a hint of vanilla planifolia, there is no synthetic fragrance. You can easily build up the Lip Sheer for more intense colour or pair with a lip liner. The packaging is really pretty as well. The available shades are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Twig<\/li>\n<li>Petal<\/li>\n<li>Coral<\/li>\n<li>Rose<\/li>\n<li>Plum<\/li>\n<li>Currant<\/li>\n<li>Scarlet<\/li>\n<li>Nude<\/li>\n<li>Raisin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/realizingbeauty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MTQyNjM0NDE1MTgxOTMxODQ2.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>I have the shade <strong>Nude<\/strong> and it is such a perfect beige nude shade for me (which is a shade category I usually struggle with). It has enough pigment and even coverage to wear alone, or I have been really loving it paired with NYX Retractable Lip Liner in Natural.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ingredients:&nbsp;Diisostearyl Malate, Jojoba Esters, Octyldodecyl Ricinoleate, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Microcrystalline Wax, Vanilla Planifolia\u0152\u00e6(Vanilla) Fruit Extract, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide, Red 7 Lake, Blue 1 Lake<\/em><\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/realizingbeauty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MTQyNjM0NDE1MTgyNzE4Mjc4.jpg\"><figcaption> Shell\/Malt Duo | Navy liner | Nude lipstick<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a little more info on Beautycounter.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Based in Santa Monica, Beautycounter is a disruptive beauty brand that launched in 2013 by Founder and CEO Gregg Renfrew.
