We all have our product loyalties.  Mr. F is fiercely loyal to King Arthur Flour, for instance.  Sometimes, as in Mr. F’s case, it’s about how the product performs, in others, it’s because we are enchanted by not just the product, but the packaging.  New York based illustrator Spiros Halaris has created a charming series of illustrations celebrating the Aesop brand of beauty care products.

Halaris’ illustrations show crumbled, well used and presumably well loved tubes of Aesop balms and lotions against a drawn illustration of berry branches.  In looking at these pieces, I’m reminded of the connection between nature, beauty products, and paint.  All can be used to beautify in different ways and there is a natural bridge between found beauty in nature, enhanced beauty with cosmetics, and created beauty in paint.
