Oh, these are so sweet! As if I haven’t posted enough fruity shaped beauty this week, but these (French) are rather more elegantly done than the Tony Moly banana.
So, Balade En Provence is vegan brand with literally only these two products so far. The name translates as ‘a walk in Provence’ and the hand cream is shea butter based and they’re made in a small town in the region.
The thing that’s so nice about them is that they smell properly peary and apply – the apple scent in particular is like one of those crisp red, Snow White apples – with nothing artificial so you won’t get a blast of Gummy Bear.
In terms of performance, the cream is lovely: nourishing, not sticky and not overly rich. I think these are great gifts or fun treats-to-self for something that just makes you smile. I’d be pretty tempted to decant all my hand creams into the fruits once the Balade En Provence version is finished just because I like looking at them. I’m hoping they’ll branch out into lip balms – just not banana. The creams are £9.50 each on Amazon (Prime if you want) HERE.

I laughed at your ‘just not banana’ comment, guess the Tony Moly mask put you off!
I think the packaging is beautiful and I trust your judgement so I’ve bought the pear one from Amazon. They’re giving you 25% off when you buy one so bonus! If I like it I’ll get some for Christmas presents.
I hope you like it.. I think they’re great.
