[ETUDE HOUSE] MISSING U! Hand Cream *SPECIAL SET*

I already reviewed the new 'Bee Happy! Hand Creams' from the MISSING U! product line by [ETUDE HOUSE]. Now I wanna review the first serie of these hand creams.

I got the 'SPECIAL SET' which contains all 4 types:
- Fairy Penguin (Baby Powder)
- Panda (Peach)
- Pink Dolphin (Fiona Flower)
- Harp Seal (Green Tea)

This hand creams are free of Paraben, Sulphate, Ethanol and Color.

Description: Missing U Hand Cream is formulated with natural mixture of herbs, Shea Butter and Olives to moisturize, heal and soothe hands.
The SPECIAL SET comes in a whitish 'egg box' with a paper sheet around it. Everything was printed with soy ink. The creams itself come in cute plastic container which look like different endangered animals. Each container contains 30ml!
Compared to the 'Bee Happy! Hand Creams' this ones here have a more lotion-like consistency and are not thick like a balm. This makes it easier to take out, you just have to dip your fingers in.
Fairy Penguin (left): The Baby Powder Fragrance is my favorite of all 'MISSING U! Hand Creams'. I just love that soft powder scent.
Panda (right): It has a nice fruity Peach scent which is not too strong.
Harp Seal (left): The Green Tea Fragrance was really weird for me at the beginning but after using it a few times I started to like it. The fragrance is very strong for me!
Pink Dolphin (right): I'm not a fan of those Rose, Lavender or whatever scents but this Fiona one is quite nice. It smells a bit like rose but not too strong. I like it, too!
I like all of this creams and I got a single one of the Fairy Penguin as well. When you get just one cream they come in a small paper box.

Price (Set): around 20,- €/ US$30
Bought at: eBay (reallyhappyidea) 

What I love: 
The design and the Baby Powder fragrance. 

What I don’t like:
There is nothing I don't like. 

Will I buy this again? I would buy the 'Fairy Penguin' a 3rd time. It's my favorite one!

[ETUDE HOUSE] MISSING U Bee Happy! Hand Creams

I got some new Hand Creams with my last orders: the MISSING U Bee Happy! Hand Cream.
I loved already the first 'MISSING U' product line, therefore I had to get the new one as well.

As always you can get the new products as Lip Balms, too. A Wash Off Pack and Sleeping Pack is also available.
I reviewed the Wash Off Pack a few days ago!

Description: Our endangered animal friends are rapidly becoming extinct from the planet... 
I really want to see you... I miss you!
Formulated with natural mixture of herbs, Honey and floral fragrance to moisturize, heal and soothe hands. *This product was not tested on animals*
The new products are different 'bees/ bugs'. I got 3 of them! 
There is also a Queen Bee available but I don't really like the scent of rose.
The Hand Creams come in 100% recycled paper and everything was printed with soy ink.
Now to the different creams:  

#4 Baby Bee (Citrus Baby Powder Fragrance)
Hi~ I am Baby Bee
I can't fly yet so I just hang out in the hive eating honey.

The cream comes in a cute container that looks like a baby bee/ larva. It's green and contains 30ml. It has a thick and creamy consistency, like a balm. It smells like Citrus but not too strong.

#2 Honey Bee (Acacia Fragrance)
Hi~ I am Honey Bee
I work hard to serve the Queen and make honey for the hive.

This container is yellow and brown. It looks like a bee! The cream has the same consistency like the other one but the fragrance is different. It has the scent of Acacia (Honey)
It's my favorite Hand Cream from this product line!

#3 Ladybug (Chestnut Blossom Fragrance)
Hi~ I am Ladybug
I can fly like my friends the bees and I protect crops from insect pests.

The Ladybug cream comes in a brown and red-colored container. The cream itself has the same consistence as the other two. The fragrance is a bit weird... It smells like flowers but still different. Maybe it's the Chestnut scent.
You have to take out the cream with your fingers. It's not so easy coz the cream is rather like a balm and not lotion-like as the first 'MISSING U!' Hand Creams.
The cream is easy to massage into the hands and absorbs fast. 

Price (each): around 9,- €/ US$12  
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76 & zinopark)

What I love:
The cute design and the fragrance of the 'Honey Bee'.

What I don’t like:
The consistency is thicker than the first 'MISSING U!' line. It's harder to get the cream out.

Will I buy this again? If I do then probably just the 'Honey Bee (Acacia)' one.
