I'm going to start with the glaringly obvious - how sexual does this look? It's MADE to sit on a dressing table looking all luxe and decadent.
Anyone who isn't swayed by packaging is a machine, really. The way they look part of the experience of buying and using a beauty product; it's their emotive capacity. Needless to say, the balm itself doesn't disappoint. It's a shockingly bright yellow and is incredibly rich so it's ideal for very dry skins. The balm is inspired by old-world Russian herbal remedies and contains sea buckthorn berry oil, which is a plentiful source of vitamin C!
It's a lovely product, but worth the £39.60 for 200ml?
