A surprising and revealing look at how today's elite view their wealth and place in society

From TV's "real housewives" to The Wolf of Wall Street, our popular culture portrays the wealthy as materialistic and entitled. But what do we really know about those who live on "easy street"? In this penetrating book, Rachel Sherman draws on rare in-depth interviews that she conducted with fifty affluent New Yorkers--from hedge fund financiers and artists to stay-at-home mothers--to examine their lifestyle choices and understanding of privilege. Sherman upends images of wealthy people as invested only in accruing social advantages for themselves and their children. Instead, these liberal elites, who believe in diversity and meritocracy, feel conflicted about their position in a highly unequal society. As the distance between rich and poor widens, Uneasy Street not only explores the lives of those at the top but also sheds light on how extreme inequality comes to seem ordinary and acceptable to the rest of us.

So far I like it
I bought this combo because I have used the ordinary before and liked the results. So far I’m not a fan of the lotion, feels a bit too thick for my liking. But other 2 products so far are making my skin look brighter and hydrated. I didn’t break out at first with the oil because I’m sensitive to too much oil but my skin adjusted to it. Definitely value for your money.

Good make up remover
I dont know if it actually cleanses pores but it's a good make up remover which is what I use it for initially it was for my pores but I've seen no difference with this line at all as many reviews state within a week and yes I used consistently.

💦 a tall drink of water for your (clean) skin
If like me, you missed the cleansing oil that Beauty Counter made, this might be even better! The quality and consistency of this product leaves my skin feeling dewy, clean and you can tell it takes away the dead skin. I’m obsessed with how well it removes makeup — even sticky lash glue residue without feeling harsh. It leaves my skin with a plump appearance, full of moisture and smells like a fresh load of laundry. This is the only cleansing oil I’ve found that works as well as Beauty Counter - at a fraction of the price!
