Seems like you need to update your review. With Beautycounter being at Ulta, we’re building brand awareness, and this can actually benefit a brand advocate. I agree that not all of the products are great. For example, the clean deodorant irritates my skin due to the baking soda, so I use a different clean brand. The other thing to think about is Beautycounter’s packaging. Beautycounter is very environmentally conscious and glass bottles are more easily recycled. Yes, the products are on the more pricey side, however they last 3+ months and you pay for what you get. Also, in a traditional MLM, you would earn money from a recruits personal order, in Beautycounter, commissions are only earned off of sales to others. MLMs have such a negative view and I get it. I tried selling Mary Kay in college and as a broke college kid, purchasing inventory was ridiculous. With Beautycounter, you never have to buy inventory. It’s your choice. And lets talk about the income. Yep, only about 1% of advocates are making money, and that’s due to the other 99% only signing up for the discount. Just some tidbits to think about. And also, not all chemicals are bad. Just saying.

In reply to Kate. Originally done in 2019 but has been updated with feedback. Agreed on crunchi!

What year was this review done? You’re using very very old BC products. would love an updated review.

Crunchi is the same business model as BC.
I found their makeup products extremely tacky and they didn’t blend well. Have not tried their skincare!

So glad to see you taking an objective stance here, and recognizing the shadiness of MLM business structures. I can’t count how many times I’ve found a promising natural beauty/living influencer and then been disappointed when they are a die-hard Young living or beauty counter fan who believes all of the products and the business model can do no wrong. My trust in you and your content just went up 10-fold.

Hi!

I am also interested in a comparison of The Ordinary as well as Beauty counter.

Hello,
I’m new here, but felt I should share my experience. I have sensitive skin and have had some trouble with BeautyCounter: Irritation, breakout, stinging…my typical reaction to products I cannot use. But what bothers me the most is that I returned a portion of a recent kit purchase and had to call BC to see if they received after 30 days since I saw no refund. I saw no refund because I was given a store credit since I did not return the entire kit. (I certainly wish I had, but I liked some of the products! Expensive mistake! The clincher is the store credit expires in 90 days, (well, last than that now since I didn’t know I had a store credit.) I can only use a few of BC’s products. Sigh…seems pretty cheap to me….
