Shiseido Benefique Theoty unveiled its new style of packaging in spring 2013. Designed in collaboration with Dutch designer Tord Boontje, the packaging is ornate, feminine, fanciful and romantic. (See more images of his work for Shiseido Benefique here.)
Cheek (Fantasy Nuance), launched in spring 2013, truly showcases the beauty of Boontje’s design, and today I will be sharing my thoughts on Cheek (Fantasy Nuance) in PK01, my first Benefique Theoty purchase.
