Over the many years of dabbling with skincare, running the gamut from budget pharmacy brands all the way to the pinnacle of luxury brands and products, I now find myself in the enviable position of not caring where it comes from, as long as it works LOL! 😛

These days, as I don’t throng the malls as often as I used to (I haven’t been to one in months!) I’m out of touch with what’s new out there. I therefore find myself turning to my trusted online vendors to pick up my skincare products when I’m running low.

I received many many requests to try Beauty of Joseon products, in particular the sunscreen, and while it isn’t my habit to give in to such requests (hey! It’s my money and I want to be sure that I’m getting something I like, not just for the sake of the blog), I eventually did for this brand.

The primary reason I did is because it is sunscreen, and I’m always running out of sunscreen! The other reason was curiosity. Beauty of Joseon products are incredibly affordable, which makes it very tempting to try to see if they are any good, from a skincare snob point of view 😀 It was also a good time to see if they were a decent enough budget skincare range, because a good quality budget priced skincare is always welcome.

I happened to get a few items during an online promotion a month or so ago, and immediately put most of them into my skincare rotation. What this means is that you’ll be seeing more reviews of this brand in the coming posts 😀
