Packaging :

It comes inside a pink pox with all necessary details on it . The tub itself is pinkish ombre in colour and is made of glass. Therefore it feels very heavy . Also, don’t even thinking about dropping it by mistake 🙈. Since it is very sturdy , it makes it travel friendly , but if you love to travel light , you might find a little difficulty.

Texture :

As the name suggest itself , the texture is balm like. It feels like a thick cream. It is slightly pinkish in colour. It has mild grapeseed essential oil smell, which you can get while applying, nothing that stays or is overpowering.

My Thoughts :

Well, I am in the verge of completing this tub now. Since it has a thick balm texture , it needs to be blended in the skin. I have dry skin and it worked amazingly for me , especially during winters. Due to the texture, it does feel little heavy on the face. I personally had no problem with it and I feel dry skin beauties wont have to. Normal- combination skin might have a problem because the texture is so heavy. It provides all the moisture and hydration the skin needs . The skin feels very soft and supple after using this. It heals the dry patches on the face. It works amazingly as a makeup base , specially for matte foundations .

Would I recommend?

Yes, to dry skin people. I would suggest this to normal and combination skin people only during winters or if they sleep in AC all round the year. This is a absolute no no for oily skin people.
