Eumora Soap Testing~

So, after selling it to darling Neko, passing some to Nera (ex-officemate) and countless nagging from my dad + bro (it’s very serious when THEY start making noise at me) I caved in and decided to start using the Eumora soap my brother swears by.

Eumora is this soap that claims to leave your skin feeling smoother, clears out your pimples (as you can see from Neko’s post), close your pores and do other miraculous things. Touted as an “all-in-one” skincare product, it boasts that after using it, you will not need any more toner, moisturiser etc. An ex-colleague who’s been using it for years swears by it; her skin is almost spotless and is always glowing.

It’s been three days since I started. Well, two, to be exact, cause I forgot to take a pic of my face on day two and I skipped the night washing. :P So far my first impressions is that it’s extremely drying on the skin. The feeling of your pores being tightened could be due to this. This is also the first soap I’ve used in an extremely long while that doesn’t kill my eyes when I open them after rubbing the soap all over my face, including my eyes. Rather, it makes me feel like I have a mask on.

[Shorts] Unexpectations

They were not what the elders wanted. 

When Ariska was seven years old, her half-sister was born. She sat in a dark corner watching the festivities as everyone celebrated the child’s birth. Blond, blue-eyed, and perfect in every way, Rihona was the complete opposite of the tan-skinned, dark-haired and almond-eyed Ariska. At night, as everyone slept, Ariska crept into the nursery. Armed with a pillow she went to Rihona, her heart burning with anger and pain. 

As she raised the pillow, Rihona woke up. She grinned a secret smile. Ariska smiled back; the babe too, was not what the elders sought.
