Review:
The packaging is
simple and cute with a white base and pink cap. There is 182mL of product and
it cost $10.00 on the Missha US website, which is inexpensive especially
compared to the Banilla CO Clean it Zero ( 100mL of product and price ranges
between $15-20).

| Missha Flower Bouquet Cleansing Cream Packaging |
Missha has two more
scents in this line: maylily and iris. I only purchased the cherry blossom
scent, because that was what intrigued me the most. Unfortunately, there was no
spatula that came with this product, so it can get unhygienic because you're constantly
dipping your fingers in the tub.

| Picture of product |
The cleansing cream
is white and has the same consistency and feeling as a lotion. Upon applying to
my face, it glides over smoothly and is effective at removing the makeup.
However, I find myself scrubbing a
little bit harder to remove the more stubborn makeup compared to the Baniila
CO. I also noticed that I often had to
keep getting more product because the amount I grabbed the first time wasn't
enough to clean my face.
 |
| Products from top to bottom: BB cream, liquid eyeliner, matte liquid lipstick, lip gloss, cream lipstick, and concealer. |
 | |
| This was taken while I was working the product to remove the makeup. At this point, I was having to scrub a little harder to get rid of the matte liquid lipstick. |
It isn't difficult
to wash off the product, but when you do, it feels like there is a residue or
film covering your face. But just to note that this is a cleansing cream, so
you're supposed to follow up with a water based cleanser afterwards. Because it's very similar to lotion, it did make my face feel softer. When using
this to remove my eye makeup, it doesn't sting, but it does blur my vision if
it gets into my eyes.
The one major gripe
I have about this product is the smell. I was hoping for a nice elegant cherry
blossom scent, but instead I get a super strong scent of floral perfume.
Honestly, it's so extremely pungent that the smell lingers even after washing
my face with the water based cleanser. I'm not really sensitive or get
triggered by scents easily, but I absolutely do not like the scent. The scent pretty much outweighed any positive
things I felt about the cleanser.
Even though this is
less expensive than the Banilla CO, I'd rather spend the extra cash on the
Banilla CO. I'm not sure about the other
scents in the line, but I think I'll pass on them. I'm going to try to finish this
up so I can reorder my Banilla CO and maybe try out another cleansing balm/oil.
I know I kept comparing this to the Banilla CO, but I was really impressed with
the Banilla CO. The Missha Flower Bouquet Cleansing Cream just doesn't do it
for me, so I don't recommend it.
Overall:
Pros:

|
| *Packaging is cute *Inexpensive *Effective at removing makeup *Makes face feel softer |
*Strong perfume scent *Can be unhygienic because of packaging *Takes a lot more product to remove makeup *Can cause temporary blurred vision if a lot of product gets into eyes |
