Fashion Observation｜Creative Oil Paint Hand Balms from & other stories 為日常注入一點創意：& other stories 繽紛生活的顏料護手霜

Nothing is what it seems.

Are these tubes oil paint or hand balms?  You bet, they are hand balms from the latest popular brand associated with H&M, & other stories.

When first witnessing these gorgeous products online, I was totally enchanted by the beautiful packages. It is also said that the scents vary, and the moisture thrives.  & other stories is one of my favorite brands these days. Though I haven’t had the chance to shop in their retail stores till now, it is something that will definitely take place in the future. (which means I have already written that down on my travel notes lol)

Aside from the oil paint-like hand balms, other beauty products, mostly body & bath ones, are so pretty as well. Simple but eye-catching. Most of all, the good news is all these products are affordable! The hand balm only costs 5 euros per tube, and the lip balm takes also 5 euros; the scented candle, guess what? Only 17 euros!

Give it a try when you visit & other stories next time!

在當前這個講求創意、創新的時代，事情沒有你想像的簡單。

這究竟是油畫顏料還是護手霜？猜對了，它正是最近著名的& other stories 推出的護手霜系列。

這間 H&M 旗下，2013 年才成立的品牌，主打簡約質感，短短三年內在時尚圈中展露頭角，深受大眾、部落客和時尚編輯的喜愛。

我第一次在網路上看到這些可愛的護手霜形象照時，不禁心跳加速。本來就是個護手霜控的我，看到 & other stories 這些價格實惠、 氣味多元好聞而又滋潤，重點是包裝又如此可愛的護手霜，實在很難再將它們抽出我的腦海中。只是，護手霜在 & other stories 的實體店面數量不多，不太好買。之前請了代購幫忙，也是由於沒有買到我想要的味道而暫時作罷。（暫時的）

比起我最近很愛的 Aesop 護手霜，& other stories 的價格實在太平易近人。一條換算台幣不到180 元，包裝同樣簡約可愛的護唇膏，200元以內就能買到，就連大多香氛品牌都價格不菲的香氛蠟燭，也只要600多元！

在這個競爭激烈的時尚界要能保有一席之地，無非創意的一較高下。& other stories 將護手霜包裝成顏料，在消費者還在疑惑的同時，就已將商品形象深深植入觀者內心。擁有一個第一眼不知究竟是什麼的產品，一來增加了話題性，二來也配合顏料的性質，區辨了不同的香味。Bravo, & other stories!

下次若有機會經過 & other stories 店鋪，不妨進去試試吧！
