Oh hello! It’s been a while, but here’s another Empties Edition. It isn’t to say that I don’t use up products at other times. This is when I remember to set them aside so I remember to update some thoughts about them, in particular, if I’d repurchase, because that’s a sure sign of whether a product withstands the test of time 🙂

When I was offered the chance to try Augustinus Bader’s The Cream and The Rich Cream, I did not hesitate to say yes. This has been a brand that’s been on my radar for a while, but which I had not taken the step to try, primarily because of its cost.
Yes, it’s expensive and yes, it’s a luxury product. But I’d read so many raving reviews for The Cream, I had to know how it fares – as I’m sure you do too! 😉

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 😀
