Last Friday
Posted on May 27, 2012
Last Friday was the ultimate Speech Day for seniors. We came back at 2:30 to have rehearsals, pictures and stuff. I keep telling you how happy I am to be able to get out of this hellhole, but honestly it’s quite sad, in a way. I mean, high school sucks and I’m not going to deny it. But I had some good times here. So I guess this place wasn’t really a hellhole. Or at least, it wasn’t always.
I am a terrible person. Not just because I never take care of my things, but because well let’s face it I screw things up all the time. Although it was such an important event, I couldn’t be bothered to iron my dress. I am awful. The whole day I was just roaming around in the hallway. It was bizarre as everybody seemed to get rid of that oh-high-school-sucks feeling. They weren’t suppressing themselves anymore, well at least that’s what I saw. They took out their cells and cameras while waiting for rehearsals. I know it was totally legit because we’re allowed to take pictures, I think. Still we’re in school. Anyway, I guess that’s what happens when you’re a graduating senior. Conflicting emotions.

Curél Skincare
Posted on May 19, 2012
Firstly I sincerely apologize for not posting frequently on here. I’ve vanished for almost two weeks to run some errands as I tweeted a few days ago “I just found a job”. I considered doing a separate post telling you everything about my job and all that, but coming out my mouth I’m not sure whether I would be able to keep myself from radiating too much grief, which in turn would make people think that I’m rather a complaint person. Every job has its good and bad aspects so I’m learning not to let the down sides take over me. Still it’s quite a contrast between school and work. Anyway, thought I’d do a review on Curél skincare today. I am always on the hunt for good skincare products even though the Biotherm Aquasource has earned a lot of points from me.
I don’t know if it’s just me or not, but my skin seems to become really oily, big-pore-y and acne-prone in the summer which is quite unusual ( as I told you breakouts were never my worries but I guess they are now) on my combination skin. Was it my holiday intemperate eating habits, weather, routine or skincare products? It was a little bit of all of that. But the root problem was my routine and skincare products. I’ve been deeply obsessed with Biotherm Aquasource 3-step regime. It works well on my skin. In The Winter. I’m not feeling it when the weather gets hot. It took me a while to figure this out and that I needed something lighter for the summer.
Curél is not a brand that I was really familiar with before but I accidentally found it while shopping. I thought I’d try a few things from their line by purchasing the trial kit. Curél is from Japan, formulated from Kao’s extensive dermatological science research for sensitive skin, which is good no necessary allergies when you change skincare products. The packaging is simple and professional. There are four things inside the kit, Makeup Cleansing Gel, Foaming Wash, Moisture Lotion II and Moisture Milk.
- Foaming Wash- You just need to pump out as much as you need. Foamy lather comes out and you can gently apply to your face. It’s not heavily perfumed, well technically, it doesn’t have a smell. It contains cleansing ingredients that minimize stress on the skin. I’ve been using it for more than a week. It gives me a very good clean after a long day of work. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling very tight or dry. Highly recommended for people who share my summer skin problems.
- Makeup Cleansing Gel- Soft gel spreads easily on skin without the need for excessive rubbing and leaves skin comfortably clean. It also helps to improve your skin’s natural barrier function, soothe and protect skin from dryness. In my opinion, this is not the strongest makeup remover I’ve ever used. I’m not a big fan of this one. I’ve always been attached to POND’S deep clean oil and the very famous cold cream. Although, it does a good job enhancing my skin as it has no unfriendly chemicals.
- Moisture Lotion II- There are three lotions, ranging from Light to Enrich. I went for the middle one so my skin didn’t get too moisturized or too dry. Again it has a very subtle smell. This applies to all the products from this line, I think. This toner really minimizes my large pores and enhances my skin. I can feel it when I wake up. It takes some time to absorb though, that’s why you might feel a little bit sticky ( just a little ) right after using it. Overall, it’s a good product.
- Moisture Milk- I sometimes skip this when I don’t feel the need to moisturize my skin. Like I told you in the first place, my skin needed something lighter . Unless I sleep with air-conditioning, I won’t apply moisturizing products to my face. I really like the texture of this milk. It’s soft and watery.( you can choose the intensive cream if you like the thick paste feeling) And it’s surprisingly easy to absorb.
I think Curél is a good brand and I’d highly recommend this if you’re looking for lighter skincare or natural/ unfriendly-chemical free products. It’s slightly more expensive than average drugstore products but I think it’s worth investing in a good skincare line that won’t strip your beautiful skin. Of course, you can always buy a trial kit first to see how you like the products before splurging on it. So that’s a wrap for this one. Have a nice weekend!
Much Love
