[ETUDE HOUSE] BAKING POWDER Pore Cleansing Cream

In 2010/2011 [ETUDE HOUSE] released their BAKING POWDER line which cleanses deep inside pores. I got some samples of the Pore Cleansing Foam but never purchased a full size because last year [Holika Holika] released with their Soda Pore Cleansing line some similar products. 
Nevertheless, I ordered the BAKING POWDER Pore Cleansing Cream for removing make-up a few weeks ago which I will review now. I'm also waiting for the new Cleansing Foam Moist!

Products available in this line:
- Pore Cleansing Foam
- B.B Deep Cleansing Foam
- Pore Cleansing Powder Wash
- Crunch Pore Scrub
- Pore Cleansing Cream
- Pore Cleansing Lotion
- Pore Cleansing Mineral Water
- Pore Cleansing Tissues (Oil Type)
- Cleansing Foam Moist *New*

Description: Formulated with baking powder to gently exfoliate skin with a cream texture and penetrate pores to absorb oil and residues for a thorough cleanse.
The round plastic container is white with a blue sticker on it and contains 180ml. The description is in English and Korean on it.
The twist-off lid is light blue! Underneath the lid was a thin cover to protect the cream but I removed it already.
The Pore Cleansing Cream has a very soft & creamy consistency and a white color. 
Although this product contains baking powder it doesn't has any harsh particles inside like the cleansing foam does. I love the citrus scent which you can smell in almost all BAKING POWDER products!
What I don't like again is that I need to dip my fingers in the product to get the cream out. 

Not very hygienic!!
This make-up removing cream does a good job even though it didn't remove my mascara and liquid eyeliner completely. But after washing my face with cleansing foam/ water it was all gone.
I also noticed that the product gets a bit oily after massaging it over my skin.
 I was using for example (from left to right):
Tear Drop Liner, Eyeshadow, Eyebrow Concealer, Liquid Eyeliner, Lip Gloss, Lipstick, Mascara & BB Cream
After massaging the Cleansing Cream over the make-up (pic above) and after wiping the residues off with a tissue (pic below).
How to use: Use hands to dispense cream. Apply cream to dry facial surface and massage until makeup is disolved. Wipe off face with facial pad/ tissues and wash with cleansing foam and water.

Price: around 8,- €/ US$10
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)    

What I love:  
The creamy texture and citrus scent!

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I don't like yet. Other cleansing creams/ oils worked a bit better on me but it still removes make-up very well.

Will I buy this again? I would like to try out the Cleansing Lotion and Cleansing Mineral Water.

[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 removal 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 massaging the Cleansing Cream on my skin:
After wiping the cream off and cleansing my skin with warm water:
I like this Milk tea Cleansing Cream! Not only because of its 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.
