Spanish bolt-on for Alven's JolieBox
French online cosmetics retailer JolieBox, backed by Alven Capital, has acquired Spanish competitor Glamourum.
The add-on follows a €1m round of fundraising in October 2011, and a first bolt-on in December with the acquisition of UK-based Boudoir Privé - no additional equity was injected to finance the latter.
Founded in 2011, Paris-headquartered JolieBox is an online retailer of "beauty box" products. For a flat fee of €13, subscribers receive a box containing four to six miniature beauty products every month including body care, skincare, hair care, fragrances and makeup. Glamourum offers a similar service to the Spanish market.
JolieBox has been growing at 50% per month since inception, according to Alven Capital.
