I first fell in love with Then I Met You after trying their top selling cleansing balm which has now become one of my all time favorite cleansers. I was curious to try out more from the brand Then I Met You and thought I would give me thoughts on all the products I’ve tested. Their founder, Charlotte Cho, is a pioneer in the beauty world after creating the website Soko Glam which brought popular Korean skincare products to the US. She finally started her own skincare line and has grown it slowly and intentionally with thoughtfully formulated products rooted in the techniques and ingredients found in Korean beauty culture. If you have not yet tried the brand, I highly recommend reading my reviews on these products to find something that would work for your skincare routine.

Then I Met You Skincare Reviews

Living Cleansing Balm

A gorgeous creamy cleansing balm that will nourish your skin while also removing every last bit of makeup. It’s not quite as oily as the Elemis cleansing balm but still rich in essential fatty acids, vitamin E and antioxidants. It is oil-based so it’s best to apply on dry skin with dry hands. Massage all over the face until you’ve broken down all your makeup then add a bit of water to emulsify it. Don’t go right into removing it without letting the tiny bit of water (just damp hands is fine) continue to break down all your makeup. Once that is complete, rinse it off completely and your skin will feel hydrated, soft and supple.

Bong Bounce Cream

A lightweight gel-cream that delivers nourishment and barrier support. If you need something intensive to help with dry skin or sensitive skin but prefer a lighter texture, this is the cream to try. It won an Allure Best of Beauty award last year which is very well deserved. Even though I love a rich moisturizer, I reach for this so much because it makes my skin so soft and supple.

Snail Mucin Eye Cream

Then I Met You is very intentional with their product line so they only launch new products when it makes sense for the brand and it adds value. This is their newest product which took them years to formulate. It’s an eye cream designed to help plump, smooth and firm the skin around the eyes. The two main hero ingredients are snail mucin complex and volufiline which both help with plumping the skin and ultimately helping to restore under-eye volume. I have only been testing it for a short time so I can’t give a full review yet but first impressions are 10/10. I have been using it in the morning because it’s incredibly hydrating and wears beautifully under makeup.

The Giving Essence

I’ve been incorporating essences into my skincare routine for nearly a decade. An essence is thicker than a toner but more lightweight than a serum. It’s best to be used after you have cleansed and toned but before you apply your serums. Essences can help boost the absorption of your serums and add an additional layer of hydration into your skincare routine. The Giving Essence is formulated with a proprietary blend of fermented ingredients which is designed to brighten, calm and reduce inflammation. When using an essence, it’s best to pour it into your hands and then pat gently into the skin.

Renewing Rich Beauty Cream

This moisturizer is a step up from the Bong Bounce Cream. It is richer in texture and really cocoons the skin leaving it well hydrated and supple. If you prefer a traditional cream moisturizer that helps deliver intense moisture and barrier support, this is a great option.

Rose Resurfacing Facial Mask

This is the mask I reach for when I want to tackle any texture on my skin. It’s a gentle yet effective resurfacing mask formulated with both AHA and BHA complexes. In addition to the chemical exfoliation it gives you, there is Damask rose in the formula to help soothe and support the skin barrier. It gently removes dead skin cells, improves skin texture while also adding a boost of hydration.

Honey Dew Lip Mask

A treat treatment lip mask that works so well because it helps to nourish while also giving a gentle exfoliation. I prefer to use this at night and apply a thick layer on before bed. In addition to squalane and honey which helps to moisturize and hydrate, the Honey Dew Lip Mask contains lactic acid which offers that extra bit of exfoliation that really helps to smooth and soften the lips.

There may still be snow on the ground but I am already thinking about spring outfits! I always like shopping a season ahead so I can plan out the things I want to add to my closet. I find that I am more thoughtful and intentional with my shopping when I order a few months prior to the next season. Here are some pieces I’ve already ordered for spring! I also have everything linked here so you can see what I’m buying for each new season.

What I’m Shopping For This Spring

The Noli Shop Double Breasted Tweed Blazer

I already own a blazer from The Noli Shop that I got during the fall and LOVED it. The fit is perfection and a gorgeous statement piece. This neutral tweed version immediately caught my eye and thought it would be perfect to wear with a ton of different outfits.

The Noli Shop Florence Tweed Jacket

I’m typically a neutrals lover but in the spring/summer, I love to experiment a bit more with color. This is another blazer from The Noli Shop but a tad more unique and perfect to wear with the pink Sezane sweater I ordered!

Jennifer Fisher Two Tone Thread Micro Huggies

This earrings look a lot larger than they are when worn. They are a small style that is perfect to wear every day. And the fact that they are mixed metal means they will easily work with any other jewelry I wear with them.

Sezane Rym Shirt

Welp, I influenced myself on this one. I saw this blouse and shared in as a great blouse to get for spring. After sharing it, I kept thinking about it and went back to order it for myself. It already arrived and can confirm it is even more beautiful in person.

Sezane Ellis Sweater

In addition to the blue and white lace blouse, I also ordered this rose sweater which is perfect to wear now and into spring. It also matches my The Noli Shop blazer exactly!

PDPaola Olga Mini Hoops (discount code: MAREE15)

PDPaola has become one of my favorite jewelry brands because her pieces are all so unique but still wearable for everyday. I fell in love with these earrings as soon as I saw them. They are not too long and feel weightless on my ears – highly recommend!!

GAP High Rise Wide-Leg Jeans

It’s been a long time since I’ve worn GAP jeans but I saw this pair and took a chance. They fit like a dream and I love that they come in different inseam lengths. I ordered the petite which can be hit or miss because I’m 5’4″. Thankfully it was the perfect length to wear with flats or heels.

Heidi Merrick Stallion Top in Lavender (discount code: MAREE10)

I own quite a few pieces from Heidi Merrick and can attest to their incredible quality and fit. I ordered this blouse in lavender which I thought would be a nice pop of color without being too bold.

Emily McCarthy Zoe Top

This is a new-to-me brand that offered to send me a piece from their spring collection. I ordered this blue/white blouse which I am so excited to style once the warm weather hits.

LUV AJ Marais Wave Ring Set

OMG THIS RING!! It’s a set that you can wear separately or stack all together. I have been wearing it stacked together because it is truly a stunner. If you love statement rings, this is the perfect ring to add to your collection.

Freyrs Naple Sunglasses

I have not changed up my sunglasses in yearssss but am obsessed with this style. It’s a slight cat eye but doesn’t look too trendy. It’s definitely a style I can wear forever.
