each month you get a box of products all animal product free,healthy,cruelty free beauty picks for you to use with love. 
this month we have 5 products and 1 bonus product.

from looking on other blogs the products come in a bag but as i am UK based i think we just get the products arranged in a box easier for shipping.
vegan cuts beauty box and there snack boxes are monthly and the same price you can find then here.http://vegancuts.com
each box costs $34.95 to the uk = £20.95 currency conversion.

this brand does such bright colours and the lipsticks are so creamy that they moisturise and give perfect  conditioning. they are good pigmented,and stay on well,no smudging or bleeding.uses plant waxes in there preparations.vegan and cruelty free,made in the USA.
i love this brand the packaging is so good,Gothic style and that's just the boxes ,the actual lipstick has a beautiful design and a rose on the lip. 
this shade baroque is a deep red plum /cherry colour and i love it. i found the red square i also own far too bright for me.
