Birchbox: August 2011

Hi there,

Whether it’s the hottest tech gadget or a life-changing hair treatment, we’re always on the hunt for the next big thing. That’s why we’ve devoted this month to beauty innovations. These are products that are hopping boundaries, rethinking the compact, and shaking things up.

Innovation can mean many things. It’s not just the latest wonder ingredients (though we love those) — it’s also about problem-solvers like a luxe hair treatment that rebuilds damaged strands or a night cream that perks skin with all natural ingredients. Not to mention brilliant product updates, like Stila’s newly reformulated tinted moisturizer.

Go to Birchbox.com for tips on using your samples, plus a fresh batch of articles and videos. Smartphone addict? Read our roundup of the best beauty apps, and get ready to start downloading. You’ll also find a guide to beauty breakthroughs and tips on troubleshooting foundation, plus video tutorials on curly hair updos and the fall runway eyeliner trend. 

To infinity and beyond,

Katia, Hayley, and the Birchbox Team
