Birchbox NYFW Sample Stop

Birchbox totally out did themselves with their Sample Stop set up during NYFW. Located in the Chelsea Market, they transformed the space into a beauty sampling candy shop. I still get the chills just thinking about how cool this was!

Wall of Beauty Samples & Finished Birchbox

In addition to candy galore, the Birchbox team gave you an empty Birchbox as you walked in, and you were able to select 4-5 samples from the wall to build your own Birchbox. They had wrapping stations set up to complete your box. SO CUTE.

There were several different beauty brands present, including Benefit Cosmetics, Fresh Cosmetics, Jouer Cosmetics, the Balm, and more. You could sign up for a hair or make up touch up by featured brands or a manicure from Color Club.

Benefit Cosmetics makeup artists were doing makeup and eyebrows. I got my eyebrows shaped by Mercy and she did an amazing job! I usually get really red after eyebrow waxing, but she did an awesome cover up job afterwards so I didn't have to walk around with swollen eyes.

When I left the line was practically wrapped around the building because no one wanted to leave :)

Mercy & me. Check out those shaped brows!

Birchbox is a beauty sampling site that delivers the hottest beauty product samples right to your door. It's $10/month, and you can also give gift subscriptions (great idea for birthdays!). From the boxes I've seen, you definitely get your money's worth in each one.
