Birchbox Hosts beauties on both coasts during NYFW and The Emmys

Birchbox Sample Stop

BirchBox partnered with a bunch of brands to bring guests the pleasure of creating their own Birchbox. As you can imagine it was literally a candy store with jars full of twizzlers, gumballs, Swedish fish  and chocolates floating around the room.  Fashion editors, celebrities and tastemakers were treated to eyebrows shaping by Benefit Cosmetics, hair touch ups by Amika haircare, and mini manicures by Color Club. My personal Birchbox is packed away or I’d show you . Brands I’m excited about are Ojon, and rediscovering Nexxus hair care products.

Katherine McPhee was seen all over fashion week and stopped by Birchbox as well.

On Monday, September 10th Elie Tahari showed his Spring 2013 collection right here in their huge time square area luxe showroom.

Elie Tahari brings back Esther Langham using Alterna on Beauty.com and  Lead artist Romy Soleimani using Jane Iredale on Beauty.com “Tahari’s spring 2013 collection was inspired by a 1950’s Palm Springs cocktail party—beautiful people at play with a modern woman’s twist”
