Birchbox Sample Stop at NYFW


In the midst of a hectic NYFW schedule, the Birchbox Sample Stop was a much needed oasis offering everything a girl on the go could possibly need: hydration, hair, makeup, manicures, Bandaids, sugary treats, smiling faces, WiFi, outlets AND chargers (because let's face it - you probably forgot yours anyway). Oh, and couches!

After being greeted by several lovely event hosts - who were genuinely happy to see each and every guest - the first thing I noticed was an impressive pink wall of samples in candy dispensers-like towers. A Birchbox staffer handed me an empty Birchbox and said I could fill it up with 4 or 5 products of my choice!


Out of the (30) or so samples, I selected the Color Club Birchbox Exclusives, the beautyblenderBenefit Cosmetics they're Real! Mascara, and the stila eye shadow palette.

My box, before I swapped the blotting paper for the mascara

A staffer carefully wrapped up my one-of-a-kind Birchbox and encouraged me to eat some more candy :)

Getting all wrapped up!

 
More samples, couches, and candy

I wish I had time to get my hair done! Isn't this look right out of something you'd see on Pinterest?


Here's a closer look at the Color Club Exclusives. From left to right: Tweet Me, Insta-This, and Put a Pin In It. I can't wait to show you swatches :)


I applaud and thank Birchbox and their hard working team for hosting such a unique and wonderful event. They had everything a busy girl could possibly need and much more. It was an absolute pleasure to attend and I hope to see the Birchbox Sample Stop again in February!

Update: Sorry that I didn't make this clear, but the Birchbox Sample Stop was an event held during Fashion Week and is not currently going on.
