Reflective realism in glossy lip tint photography

This shot from Gucci Beauty (@guccibeauty) by Kate Jackling (@kate_takes_pictures) reads as a classic luxury beauty image: the main product shot plus strong branding (GUCCI repeats in the frame). The intent is obvious: burn the logo into your brain and tie it to sensorial pleasure. There are so many things at once: glossy texture with engraved logos that become the texture of the product and the product itself. But what makes it look super realistic like a one shot is the reflection of the lids on the first two tints.
