When I stumbled on in to Chelsea Market, I was ecstatic to find that Birchbox opened a popup shop for a limited time! This definitely lifted my spirits (I was super sick and only came to the market for some soothing soup). For those who don't already know what Birchbox is (have you been living under a rock, ladies?), it's an e-commerce monthly subscription service that sends you a lovely box of five beauty samples that you may like. Think of Birchbox as your own personal makeup shopper - like a makeup Netflix (bless this world) or a makeup wine-of-the-month club. They also carry hair products and recently began carrying men's grooming products (spoil your man!). It's only $10 a month - not a bad price to be introduced to a whole world of makeup products straight to your door.
Obviously I had to get myself a box and fill 'er up ($15 at the Birchbox Local). They were doing touchups towards the back of the store, which was awesome for those on the go. I didn't take advantage of that awesome service because I had just applied a full face of makeup before heading out - I looked like a zombie from being sick. There were so many products to choose from, and it was super packed. The traffic was my only complaint, but that was to be expected since it was THE place to be. Hmm, they're just going to have to open a PERMANENT shop. Haha, I wish! Take the hint, Birchbox!! :)
These were my picks. It was tough, and lots of deliberation was involved. My mind was cloudy from being sick, but I think I did pretty well.
Overall, it was a productive trip and a great surprise. Loved it! For those who haven't used Birchbox before, it's totally worth looking into. Definitely let me know how your experience goes :)! xx
