Birchbox limited edition box for teens: A great value for the budding cosmetics junkie

While I am still the one mom who thinks my daughter should wash off her play nailpolish before heading off to elementary school, I understand that the teen years are different. Instead of ducking perfume-sprayers in the department store for hours while trolling for product samples for her, CMP fave Birchbox has come out with a fun box just for teens, and the young-at-heart. And nails. And face. 

And wow, is it a value.

The limited edition Head of the Class Birchbox for Teens is a fun new offering just in time for back to school, or really, any time that a new lip gloss and hair supplies are called for. Which is uh, any time, right?

$28 gets you all-natural facial products from willa, a Stila Lip Glaze (which is $22 on its own!), some really fun stuff for nails and hair, and 2 adorable friendship bracelets all in a cute chevron pouch. It's worth about $80 all together so clearly this is a steal. 

Speaking of which, you might be tempted to grab that lip gloss for yourself. Maybe you can sneak it out of the box before handing the rest of it over as a gift? Or is that totally like, so unfair, Mom. -Liz

At some point, most of us have accepted an inconvenient truth: reading glasses are now part of the outfit. They live on the nightstand, in the kitchen, next to the computer, and somehow always disappear precisely when we need them. But d…

Halloween nails, but make them chic

We love Halloween, but there’s a fine line between festive and looking like a craft store exploded on your fingertips. If you want your nails to participate in spooky season without committing to tiny ghosts, glitter bats, and orange-and…
