6 Years of Curst Magic Today, I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Curst has officially been around for 6 years — and what a journey it’s been! These years have brought so many incredible opportunities: meeting people I admire, networking with business owners, celebrities, and rock stars, and creating friendships that have truly changed my life. I’m forever grateful for my employees and past employees — every single one of you hustled hard to help Curst grow into what it is today. Because of Curst, I’ve had the chance to travel, to live, and to experience the magic of business adventures. Most importantly, I’ve been able to show my children that you can build something from nothing — that dreams are real if you dare to chase them. Curst taught me that fear is meant to be faced head-on. I’ve proven to myself that I am powerful yet humble. This brand isn’t just about makeup — it’s about creating a community where people feel brilliant, empowered, and supported. Through all of it — the sleepless nights, the stress, the anxiety, the sacrifices — I kept pushing forward. Because I believe in this brand, and I believe in the incredible community we’ve built together. To see Curst featured in Vogue, Glamour, Vanity Fair, to be invited onto podcasts and news channels — it still feels unreal. Every bit of success is because of the magic we created together. I put together a little video for you — a glimpse into my life as a founder and CEO. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s made with so much love. Being a business owner isn’t easy — it’s hard, it’s emotional, it’s scary. But it’s also powerful, rewarding, and filled with moments that make every tear worth it. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for believing in Curst. Thank you for helping me keep the magic alive. Here’s to many more years of magic ahead. With all my love, Mariel Founder + CEO Curst Kosmetics
