[ETUDE HOUSE] Happy Teatime Cleansing Cream *Milk Tea*

[ETUDE HOUSE]'s Happy Teatime product line not only consists of Cleansing Foams, there are also some Cleansing Creams for make-up removing available. I got the Happy Teatime Milk Tea Cleansing Cream which was also my first korean make-up remover but I prefered to use the Real Art Cleansing Oil first (reviewed that one here).
This Cleansing Cream is available as Milk Tea, Lemon Tea and Aloe Tea.

Description: Cleansing Cream's creamy texture contains Milk protein to remove dirt and makeup while keeping skin moisturized with the pleasent fragrance of tea.

The Cleansing Cream comes in a beige/light brown colored round container and contains 180ml. The lid got a nice teapot print. The container again is wrapped in translucent plastic which you can unfold. That plastic packaging got some 'tea' prints as well.

Consistency-wise, it's creamy but not too thick. It's rather a bit lotion-like and has a white color. 

It smells so great!! I love those soft milk scents!! I can't smell the tea fragrance, though.
You have to use your fingers to get the cream out of the container. I don't like that so much and it's also not very hygienic.

The Milk tea Cleansing Cream contains Water, Mineral Oil, Milk Protein, Carbomer, Fragrance and more.

On the following pics I used for example: (from left to right)

Lipliner, Kajal, Mascara, Liquid Eyeliner, Lipstick, Lipgloss and BB Cream.

After wiping the cream off and cleansing my skin with warm water:

I like this Milk tea Cleansing Cream! Not only because of it's soft consistency and scent, also because it cleanses my skin kinda well. My skin feels really soft afterwards but since I wash my face after that with a Cleansing Foam the soft feeling disappears fast.
When the product comes in your eyes it might blurry your eye-sight but it was more worst when I used that Cleansing Oil.

How to use: Apply cream to all areas of the face. Massage thoroughly and wipe clean with cleansing tissues or rinse with warm water to remove excess. Use foam cleanser if needed.

Price: around 10,- €/ US$12.50
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)     

What I love: 
Of course the design and the scent. It also removes my make-up quite well.  

What I don’t like: 
That I have to take the cream out of the container with my fingers. 

Will I buy this again? I would but I wanna try out some other ones, too.

[clarisonic Mia & SIRIUSONIC] Electric Face Brush

I wanted to say something about the two electric facial brushes I got: clarisonic & SIRIUSONIC.

I use the clarisonic for 3 weeks now and the SIRIUSONIC just a few times but I still wanna review both products.

clarisonic Mia (SONIC SKIN CLEANSING):

I purchased the clarisonic Mia which is the smallest and cheapest version of the clarisonic brushes. It's available in a huge range of colors - I decided to get 'Tangerine' which is a really pretty pastel orange. I also liked 'Turquoise' and 'Island Coral' but these colors were sold out at the time I ordered my one. I think all 3 colors are limited!!

I got the Mia for just US$95 (excluding shipping costs from the US) coz the shop offered 20% discount on their whole range. The normal price is usually US$119 for the Mia, US$195 for the Classic and US$225 for the PLUS.

The clarisonic Mia comes in a box which includes a Universal Voltage pLink Charger, a Trial Size (30ml) of the gentle hydro cleanser and a User Guide. A Sensitive Brush Head is already included, too.

I also purchased some Replacement Brush Heads as back-up (will last me for over 12 month):

2x Sensitive Skin

2x Deep Pore Cleansing

Waiting for a Acne Cleansing brush head as well but it didn't arrive yet.

How many brush heads does clarisonic provide?

Normal Skin: Can be used for cleansing normal skin or preparing (men's) skin for shaving.

Sensitive Skin: Gently cleanses normal to sensitive skin types.

Delicate Skin: An ultra-soft skin brush for sensitive and extra-sensitive skin.

Deep Pore Cleansing: Cleanses oily skin or skin with large pores. It gently reaches hard to reach areas of the face (like nose) and can be used daily.

Acne Cleansing: Soft and specifically designed for gentle cleansing of acne-prone skin.

Body Cleansing: A larger brush head designed for your decollete, hands, arms, elbows, feet and other areas of the body. This brush head is preferably used with the clarisonic PLUS and PRO models. It can't be used with the Mia!!

The Replacement Brush Head costs US$25 or US$40 (TWIN-PACK).

Each brush head got a translucent cap for easier removing and attaching.

The clarisonic Mia has just 1 Speed but that's fine for me. I use the brush 2 times a day for always 1 minute. The Mia automatically switches off after that time.

The clarisonic has a soft vibration and the inner ring of the brush head is turning/ rotating.

You should clean the brush head at least once a week with a antibacterial soap and let it air dry. Remove the brush head for doing that with the help of the cap: Press, move counterclockwise and then pull! To attach it again just press and move clockwise until you hear it snap in.

Replace the brush head every three (3) months to keep your brush clean and your skin healthy.

SIRIUSONIC (SONIC SKINCARE SYSTEM):

The SIRIUSONIC is just available in white.
It's not very easy to find a shop who sells this Skincare System except from their official website (siriusbeauty.com) which is located in USA.

The SIRIUS brush is more favorable than the clarisonic one. It costs US$49 (excluding shipping costs) and around US$14 for the replacement brush heads (set of 2). I have to say that I got it for free coz the shop canceled my order and still shipped it. They didn't charge my credit card!

This facial brush comes in a box and contains, beside a User Guide, a Storage Cradle and 5 different attachments:

1x Brush Head (Normal Skin)

1x Brush Head (Sensitive Skin)

1x Exfoliation (Sponge) Applicator

1x Hydration (Sponge) Applicator

1x Toning (Massage) Attachment

The Skincare System also came with a pair of batteries since it's not rechargeable like the clarisonic.

 Removing and attaching the different attachments is very easy: just pull off and press on.

Compared with the clarisonic the SIRIUSONIC device does vibrate only. The brush heads aren't turning/ rotating. In addition, It doesn't switch off automatically after 1 minute.

With the same order I got 2 Replacement Brush Heads for 'Sensitive Skin' which are white/blue and not just white like the one which came with the device.

You should clean the attachments once a week with soap and replace them every 3 month (Brush Heads) or every 1-2 month (Sponge Applicators).
The Toning Attachment is made of plastic with 4 massage knobs. I don't think you have to replace this one.

The SIRIUSONIC also has just 1 Speed which is enough for me. The included Storage Cradle is very useful, too.

Which one do I prefer?

The way you have to clean your skin is with both brushes the same: wet your face & the brush head, add some cleansing foam and clean your face in circular motions:

forehead (20 sec.), nose/chin (20 sec.), cheeks (10 sec. each).
Both brushes are waterproof, so you can use them in your shower (don't throw them in water, though).

I like the clarisonic Mia a lot more than the SIRIUSONIC which I use currently only when I recharge the Mia. Unfortunately, I don't really see an improvement of my skin yet. After cleansing my skin looks sleek and some pores seem to be smaller but that's all atm. I still get breakouts, blackheads, oily skin and dry patches. Of course I will continue using both facial brushes and hope it will work on my skin soon.

I haven't tried all attachments of the SIRIUSONIC yet. Just the Sensitive Skin Brush and the Exfoliation (Sponge) Applicator. The Sponge Applicator is kinda weird, though. I don't really know how to use it, so it always seems to 'absorb' the products only. The Peeling works better when I use my hands for that.

[SKIN79] BB CLEANSER O2 BUBBLE

Yesterday I received another cleansing brush: The SIRIUS Skinsonic Skincare System. Actually I canceled this order because I purchased my clarisonic Mia. The shop confirmed the cancellation, refunded me but still shipped out the order the next day. I think they made a mistake. Anyway, I got the SIRIUS now for free (apart from the tax I had to pay).

In one of my next reviews I will compare the clarisonic with the SIRIUS.

So, now I review another new make-up remover: the BB CLEANSER from [SKIN79]. I have to say that I'm not a big fan of this brand -same goes for MISSHA- and just own 1-2 items. But I got a face mask which also works with O2 Bubbles. That's why I wanted to try out this cleanser.

Description: With it's microscopic bubble particles delivering oxygen to the skin, the Bubble Cleanser costumized for BB cream users allows deep cleansing of the skin, removing any dead skin cells and make-up residues without skin irritation, such that no further washing is necessary.

The Bubble Cleanser's OBFN patented complex contaiing pomegranate and fig and Maakia Fauriei Stem Extract with brightening effect purify the skin that has become irritated by environmental factors. Also, containing Chia Seed Extract that attracts moisture and Oatmeal Extract that provides ample moisture, the Bubble Cleanser keeps your skin moist and sleek, without feeling tight even after washing.

The packaging is white and pink with some bubble prints. The description is in Korean and English on the box. 

The plastic container is white and pink as well. The lid is translucent pink and came sealed. The bottle has a pump and contains 100ml.

The Bubble Cleanser has a whitish gel-like consistency and is nice perfumed.

For the pics I used the following make-up (left to right):

BB cream, Lipliner, Concealer, Lipstick, Eyeliner, Eyeshadow

I used this cleanser just 1-2 times now but it's not bad. I would say that it removes my make-up very good even though I have to use quite a lot to cover my whole face.

The Bubble Cleanser is not made for removing eye or lip make-up. You should remove it before!

How to use: 1. Apply and spread over the face, except the areas arond the eyes and the mouth.

2. In one or two minutes, when there occur enough air cells, massage the face softly and then sufficiently rinse in a little warm water.

Price: around 14,- €/ US$17.50 
Bought at: eBay (BELLOGIRL)  

What I love:  

The scent and the idea of using O2 Bubbles for cleansing the face. 

What I don’t like:  

It's not for removing lip and eye make-up! 

Will I buy this again? I don't think so! Cleansing Oils and Creams are faster.
