What's in My January Birchbox

January's Birchbox theme is new year, new you. The box is focused on making 2013 the best year ever. Being that this is a new year I was really excited to see what I was going to get in my box. Birchbox is currently the only beauty box subscription service that I still receive so I am always super excited when I get my box. This is what I got in my January Birchbox.

What's in My November Birchbox

Since Thanksgiving is coming up, Birchbox focused their November box on giving thanks, giving back, and giving treats. They included in this month's box a reusable gift envelope that can be filled with a treat to give to someone special. I really like that they added this. In addition they are supporting this month, The Art of Elysium which is a non-profit that encourages actors, artists, designers, and musicians to dedicate their time to kids who are struggling with various medical conditions. I really like that Birchbox works with charities. So here is what I got in my November box.

What's in My October Birchbox

So this month Birchbox contacted me to see if I would be interested to opt-in for the Goop box instead of the regular Birchbox. I wasn't sure what to do but decided to choose the Goop Birchbox. Goop was founded by Gwyneth Paltrow in 2008 to share recipes, fashion, travel guides, wellness tips, cultural notes, and more. I figured I might get some good high end products with this box so that's why I decided to get it instead of the regular box. Read on to find out what I did end up getting in my box.

Birchbox Sample Stop Event in NYC

A few weeks ago was Fashion week here in NYC. Fashion week is huge here in NY and Birchbox being the smart company that they are decided to host something called "Sample Stop" during the week. They invited people who were attending the fashion shows, bloggers, and other industry people to visit their "Sample Stop" to build a Birchbox. Those who attended were able to pick 4-5 samples and put them in their Birchbox. I saw pictures of Katherine McPhee there and I think some other celebrities may have attended. Birchbox was nice enough to invite their subscribers to the event as well. I attended it with a friend of mine and had such a good time. This post is very picture heavy but I hope you all enjoy the photos. I think they really show you what the event was really like.

What's in My September Birchbox

So this month's Birchbox theme was around fashion. This past week was NYC fashion week so this is perfect timing for a fashion theme. I do find that the themes don't have much to do with what you get in your box but its still a cute idea. So here is what the message on the card says, "September marks the starting line for the season's fashion bonanza. We'll leave the 900+ page fall fashion issues to Vogue, but that doesn't mean we don't have plenty of inspiration to share. We've put together a mini-mag filled with ten of our favorite fall beauty trends. Flip through to get inspired!"

Whats in My August Birchbox

This is my August Birchbox. The theme is Beauty School Supply Kit which fits in well with going back to school for some. This doesn't really fit well for me since I'm not in school but I guess for those who are it's cute. The yellow outside is a fun change from the usual pink. Instead of the usual card they gave us a square booklet. It says,

"We all remember the excitement of back to school shopping and the thrill of stocking up on fresh notebooks and pens. This month, we're helping you refill your beauty supply kit with must-try essentials and new products that will take you through the fall. Plus, we've put together a Beauty 101 series to ensure that you ace every class. Read on, and have a great semester."

Birchbox Event at the Caudalie Spa

On July 31st I attended another Birchbox event at the Caudalie Spa. This was my second time at the Caudalie Spa through Birchbox. This event was held after work and is a great way to meet other girls who love beauty  and makeup.

Laura Geller & Birchbox Event Recap

I was fortunate enough to be invited to attend an event being held by Birchbox at Laura's Gellers makeup studio on the Upper East Side on July 23rd. The second I was in the door I was greeted by Laura herself. While I knew that she was going to be there I had no expectations of being able to talk to her. She was just as friendly and nice as she comes across on QVC. I couldn't believe how down to earth and genuine she was and not just with me but with everyone their that night. Just the fact that she was so nice made me even a bigger fan of the brand.
