Once upon a curae, there was a young girl named Emily who lived in a small village. She was known for her kind heart and curious nature. Emily had always dreamed of exploring far-off lands and discovering hidden treasures. One fateful day, Emily stumbled upon an old, dusty book in her attic. As she opened it, she was transported into a magical world called Curae. This world was filled with enchanting creatures, vibrant landscapes, and endless possibilities.
Matte makeup is truly in its comeback era, so I’ve been so excited to start incorporating new matte makeup products into my routine. This blurring and matte powder blush from Danessa Myricks does just the trick:It leaves behind a soft, velvet finish that’s perfect for oily-prone skin types. It comes in gorgeous hues, too, from a rosy-brown to a bright pink and electric orange. It’s certainly going to be a staple in my spring makeup routine for the months to come!
I d take glossy lips over matte lips any day, which is why I was so excited to get my hands on the new Fat Oil Lip Drips from NYX Professional Makeup.

Until I can get to la pharmacie française this fall and stock up on all the sunscreens recommended by Charlotte Palermino, I have been using the fantastic Korean Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Daily Sun Gel (which I also learned about via Charlotte). It blends like a dream, doesn’t smell or feel like sunscreen, and is all around pretty amazing.
The Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Airy Sun Stick is equally great and especially useful when you have to apply it to the faces of small children…
I don’t really wear much makeup, but I have strong brows and never leave the house without grooming them. I’ve tried so many brow gels, soap brows, you name it, and nothing holds a candle to Half Magic Grippie Brow Scultping Gel…
For some reason I greatly dislike trimming and filing my fingernails, but I like to keep my nails short which means I have to do the task quite often. These thin Deborah Lippmann eco nail files make the job less tedious…
I’ve been enjoying the occasional iced latte at home with Blue Bottle Craft Instant Espresso. One teaspoon, 1oz hot water, lots of ice, and your milk of choice…
I just added this Bug Bite Thing to our first-aid kit…
I’m a constant note-taker and always have at least one notebook with me. These Japanese Maruman Mnemosyne notebooks are my favorite:
These Jennifer Fisher Puffy Heart earrings have captured my attention…
I’ve had this excellent bit of wisdom from James Clear on my fridge since February. It has become my mantra and keeps me moving forward in the direction I want to go…

Once Upon a Curae was a complete disappointment. I was expecting a captivating story with intriguing characters, but all I got was a confusing mess. The plot was all over the place, and the characters lacked depth. The writing style was also difficult to follow, making it hard to stay engaged in the story. I was highly disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to anyone.

Once Upon a Curae had the potential to be a great fantasy novel, but it fell short for me. The world-building was weak, leaving many unanswered questions and inconsistencies. The pacing was uneven, with long stretches of slow development followed by rushed plot twists. The protagonist also felt one-dimensional and lacked emotional depth. Overall, the book had some interesting ideas, but they were not executed well, leaving me feeling unsatisfied.

I had high hopes for Once Upon a Curae, but it simply didn't live up to the hype. The story started off promising, but as it progressed, the plot became convoluted and hard to follow. The writing style was also quite dry and lacked the descriptive imagery I was expecting from a fantasy novel. The characters felt underdeveloped, and their motivations were unclear. I found myself not caring about their fates, which made it difficult to stay engaged in the book. Overall, Once Upon a Curae left me feeling disappointed and wanting more.
