Joining that Curology train: First impressions and hesitations

I think at this point, it is safe to say I am by no means a skincare trendsetter.  I am never on the cutting edge, lending my face for the good of skincare-kind by testing out the latest new products.  I just enjoy Asian beauty, makeup, and skincare as a way of taking care of myself.

Which is why, given my long absence from /r/AB since starting grad school, I had no idea what Curology was until I saw this Instagram post from Joan of Kinseng (everyone should go check out her awesome blog, by the way!).

I had heard the term floating about, but never took a serious interest in the brand and its products until Joan's IG post.  I decided to do some research into them (aka a cursory Google search).

4 Thai beauty and fashion brands to check out

First of all, happy 2016!  May it be filled with your accomplishments, whether big or small!

So... my last post was a complete lie *sheepish grin* I apologize!  I cannot guarantee a regular posting schedule, but I really do want to keep up blogging because I enjoy it.  Hopefully it'll be a bit more often than the radio silence between September and now (I am aiming for at least one post every month - that's somewhat achievable, right?).  I am significantly more active on Instagram, so do check me out there :)

Now that I'm back home in Thailand for a bit (yay!), I decided to highlight some Thai brands that might be worth checking out if you're ever in this neck of the woods!
