Beauty boxes - they're all over the place, aren't they? That hasn't made me try any before so what made me want to take a look at this one? First, there was the fashion connection - the box contains designer scents and cool cult brands.

Bluebells in Hackney
When I was invited to an event in Hackney last week for a fragrance launch I wasn't sure what to expect.
