You’re probably still recovering from last month’s holiday festivities, but that doesn’t mean you should spend all weekend lounging around in your sweats. New Yorkers, take note: this Saturday, Birchbox is teaming up with Jouer for an afternoon of beauty and bubbly at the Birchbox Discovery Shop in Chelsea.
Recently, makeup artist Nam Vo stopped by Birchbox HQ to impart some of her never-ending beauty wisdom. The lesson of the day? How to use different foundation shades to give your face definition. I always assumed the goal of foundation was to get a completely uniform complexion — turns out, that’s not always the case. To get a center-lit, movie star look — think J. Lo or Beyonce — you actually want to make the center plane of your face a little lighter than your cheeks and neck.
Color Theory is a weekly post about home decor and beauty. Because we can’t always make over our homes at the drop of a hat, but we can make over our faces. Check back weekly for a new room and a new set of products we love.
I’m crushing pretty hard on this room with navy walls, built-in bookcase, window seat, and zebra print rug. It looks eccentric and cozy, but not too cluttered. To match my makeup to it, I pulled out my favorite navy liner by stila (smudgy but easy to apply), a creamy cashmere eye shadow by Jouer, and a great red lipstick to match the flowers on the table. Perfect for a chilly first official week of winter.

Fun with swatching! One of our members called in to ask which Jouer Moisturizing Lip Gloss shade was closest to Birchbox Pink so we snapped a picture for her. From left: Mirage, Peony, and Birchbox Pink.

When we announced the debut of our custom fuchsia Jouer gloss, we knew it would create a splash. But we had no idea so many of you would want to snag it for yourselves! Even we were surprised at how quickly the first batch of Birchbox Pink glosses flew off our shelves, and now we’re waiting for the next round to arrive at our warehouse. We know many of you are still biting your lips in anticipation, so sign up for the wait list and we’ll let you know as soon as we have more in stock.
‘Tis the season, which can mean only one thing: You are in search of great holiday gifts. Well, look no further. Whether you’re stumped about what to get a co-worker, your dad, or your bestie, we have something for everyone on your list. Check back every day this month for a new dose of gift-giving inspiration — and get ready to deck your halls with much more than holly.
Why this makes a great gift: We teamed up with the brand to create this unique compact, which is like Legos for beauty lovers because each product is detachable and we couldn’t be more proud. The perfect all-in-one, there’s a champagne highlighter, a peach blush, a rosy lip gloss, a taupe shadow, and a dark gray eyeliner.
It’s perfect for: Your glam friend who’s always hopping from happy hour cocktails to late night soirees, your super-organized aunt who color coordinates like it’s her job, and (drumroll, please) yourself. This will come in handy for all those holiday parties you’ll be attending.
Price: $68, available on birchbox.com.

Working at Birchbox means that we get to do fun things like try out the latest new products, star in videos, and best of all: create custom lip gloss colors! We teamed up with Jouer to whip up a hot hot pink (what else would you expect?) to go in the December Birchboxes — so if you’re a subscriber, this is the time to do your happy dance and get excited.
But even though this shade looks crazy pink, it’s actually gorgeously sheer. You can slick on one coat for a pretty wash of color or build it up for more pigment. (Tip: If you want to punch it up, layer it over an opaque pink lipstick.) And to prove that it is a truly wearable hue — for everyone — we asked three staffers of varying skin tones to apply it and then snap a pic. Click through to see their photos and read what they had to say about the shade!
Birchbox staffers Caroline, Jennie, and Bianca
“I love how subtle this shade is and how it’s extra moisturizing.” —Caroline
“This is not a color I would usually pick out for myself, but it looks amazing on! It’s definitely my new fave.” —Jennie
“I was really surprised by how sheer it is when I put it on, but I really like it. I will be wearing this all the time.” —Bianca

We know we usually keep the contents of your Birchboxes a secret, but we had to bend the rules this month. All our members will be receiving an exciting, Birchbox-exclusive sample in their December Birchboxes. Yes, you read right: Exclusive. We worked with Jouer to create a custom lip gloss in — what else? — hot hot pink. You’ll all be receiving a sample of Birchbox Pink Lip Gloss very soon but if you want a sneak peek, click through!
Our obsession with orange and pink continues! Today I’m inspired by this home decor image that I came across on Pinterest. Instead of updating my apartment, I’ll be pairing a bright orange shadow with a pop of pink on my lips. It’s a less expensive and time consuming way to rock this color combo and I like wearing exuberant shades to lighten up dreary fall days.
