You're a Beauty Editor? Me too!

After reading this article about hip Harvard Business School grads making waves in the fashion industry, I signed up for Birchbox, a monthly service delivering brand new sample-sized beauty products right to your door - for the low, low price of $10 (per month).

And, after receiving my third shipment this week, I can confidently recommend Birchbox and some of my favorite products so far: Laura Mercier Lip Glacé in Opal, Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint and NARS The Multiple in South Beach. Full-size versions are available for purchase from their site.

Most fun - the element of surprise - it's like Christmas every time your package arrives in the mail.
