Etude House Missing You Hand Cream (S$ 7 for 30 ml) available at Sephora
What is it about cute packaging that makes us lose all rational reasoning? I could bet you that these little pots of hand cream have earned the marketing team at Etude House some serious kudos. A penguin shaped hand cream. The first time I walked around the store I made a serious effort to keep a safe distance from them, knowing that once I picked one up, it was coming home with me. The second walk around, I was not so successful and the cute looking penguin went straight into my shopping cart.
Packaging – Well, this is where it all begins! Sigh! Etude House Missing You Hand Cream comes in a small brown box with a penguin image on top. When you open this it reveals a plastic pot in the shape of a penguin. It is super cute and done very well.
The outer box has a little story on endangered species and rapid extinctions – keeping in line the packaging is made from 100% recycled paper. I like a brand that wears its eco friendly heart on its sleeve.
The inner plastic penguin is reusable and I am sure to empty out another hand cream into it for use once this one is completely over.
Formula and Texture – Etude House Missing You Hand Cream looked very and almost watery when I opened the pot. To my surprise a small amount goes a really long way. It is quite moisturizing and heavy on application. I feel it forms a protective layer on your skin. The fragrance is mild and barely there, like a baby powder.
I washed my hands a couple of times once I had used this and I could still feel that my hands very hydrated. Clearly delivers on the promise of a good hand cream.
Overall Thoughts
Another one of those cases where I wish I had picked up a few more of these delightful pots of hand cream. Well, Etude House Missing You Hand Cream is going to be on my wishlist each time I travel abroad. I love the packaging, I love the cream, what more could you ask for.

Cutest product I’ve ever seen. The Missing you hand creams are also meant to raise awareness about some endangered animal species…!
