VERDICT
I got this mainly because of the packaging. I mean...come on. How awesome and cute is this packaging?! However, I was a little disappointed in the quality. Not that I was expecting anything high quality, but the plastic was a bit scratched up and it was a little banged up as well with some stress marks and cracks around the rim. Not noticeable from far away, but if you look at it up close you can see all the imperfections. Also, the inside of the clear dome top arrived really dirty. There were black eyeliner like flakes in there that smeared. Don't know what it was and why it was so dirty, but I went ahead and gave it a good rinsing out first before drying it and finally loading it up and giving it a try. 

The mechanism to dispense the cleanser balls isn't the best though...the balls do get stuck and crack and break apart in the mechanism, which can be quite annoying...I've had to dig out the stuck cleanser ball, remove the rest of the cleanser balls from the dome to rinse it out to get rid of the remnants I wasn't able to reach and dig out, then dry it before returning the cleanser balls, so it's not the most practical dispensing method but its just so darn cute! 


As for the performance of the actual cleanser...it wasn't the best. So far, of all the cleansers that I've tried this is my least favorite and least effective cleanser...definitely the cutest, but not the best. While it was A LOT easier to break down and lather up then the Llang powder ball cleanser, I didn't have to struggle to lather it up, but be forewarned there is SLS in this product which is probably why it lathers up so nicely. Also, not a fan of the texture which is very starchy and batter like. I can definitely tell there's corn starch and glucose in this cleanser and I don't feel like it really does a great job of cleansing...probably due to the texture. It just feels like I'm rubbing pancake batter on my face so my face doesn't feel clean or cleansed at all afterwards.


That said, I don't regret this purchase because I got this entirely due to the packaging and not for the actual cleanser. I do wish it was a bit better made...I mean it does cost $23 which isn't cheap and it's not like the money went to creating an amazing cleanser, but I still love it and you can't really see all the imperfections from far away...no one's going to be scrutinizing it up close like me, so if you'd like a super cute and adorable decor piece then go for it. That is exactly what I am going to do with mine, but if you want a nice cleanser than skip this. As much as I hate to be wasteful, I'll probably chuck the cleanser balls and fill it with something else before putting it on display.
