A deluxe copy of Daisy Fellowes’ twentieth-century fairy tale, with two original drawings by Vertès. This copy owned by Diana and Duff Cooper, with their Rex Whistler bookplate pasted in. Fellowes and Vertès devised the idea for the book whilst taking the waters at the spa town of Dax in the Basque country. The fellow guests and townspeople inspired the characters that populate the bumpy tale of rags-to-riches. Fellowes’ text is accompanied by numerous charming line illustrations by Vertès. This deluxe edition is signed by the author and artist, and includes two additional suites of the illustrations and two original drawings for the book. The first drawing depicts a waiter outside a French café and the second shows a man lying on a bed and a young woman kneeling by him. Both drawings are executed in black ink, with some additions in white. The wrappers are striking in “Shocking Pink”, the trademark colour of Fellowes’ favourite couturier Elsa Schiaparelli. Daisy Fellowes was a socialite and heiress to the Singer sewing machine fortune. The association of this copy with the Coopers is fascinating. Daisy and Duff carried on a long on-off affair, which at times Duff’s wife Diana was remarkably tolerant of. The two women epitomised the modern phrase of “frenemies”.

Pills up on skin
Color: Untinted (1.7 oz)
I’m on the hunt for the perfect mineral sunscreen for my face because the non mineral kind irritates my eyes. This had good reviews so I figured I’d give it a try. I’m disappointed. Pros: It is a mineral sunscreen. The pump application is nice and works well. I like that it had skincare in it. It feels like moisturizer in my hand. Unfortunately it doesn’t behave that way on my face. Cons: It smells like diaper rash cream. This isn’t entirely a problem on its own, and being a mineral sunscreen I wasn’t surprised. But I’ve used others that don’t smell like this. It pills like crazy. I’ve tried multiple ways of applying it, and I can’t keep it from pilling up on my skin like I’ve just used Dr Melaxin’s peel shot. By the time I wipe off all the little pills, I’m sure I’ve wiped away the sun protection. I won’t buy this again

Good product. Runs a little thick like every sunscreen with zinc in it. thankfully has great ingredients and there is no beefy smell like some tallow brands. Enjoyable product.

Rosascia, allergies, hot flashes, this is perfect.
As an aging woman, my gave doesn't tolerate much anymore. Have allergies to many things so this keeps my redness at bay. Super cool relief. Glad I found this. Lightweight, works great
