beautecobox uk whats new 1st box.

so hello again last month i came across a new beauty box concept ,so i emailed and subscribed after reading .
beautecobox is the new box on the block.
so your box ,your products.the box is as green as it is brown. the idea is you log into the boutique where you find 3 boxes,various items in them.so you choose the box YOU want.how good is this going to be.there are 5 items in each box. each box 1,2,3, is a variant.you will receive an email each month to say you can pick your box right up to when the boutique closes so no rush.all boxes can be sent in the UK as long as its an address that receives post.
if by some madness you forget to choose your box don't worry they will pick you out items for you and you will still get a box.
beautecobox items are a mix between beauty and lifestyle.so a bit like birch box but maybe cooler.each month selections will be different so no chance of the same products creeping in every month.
you can find beautecobox FOR £10.+P&P here.http://beautecobox.co.uk
so this is my first box and i liked how heavy it was and how well packaged this box is.
