The Proud Tower, the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Guns of August, and The Zimmerman Telegram comprise Barbara W. Tuchman's classic histories of the First World War era
During the fateful quarter century leading up to World War I, the climax of a century of rapid, unprecedented change, a privileged few enjoyed Olympian luxury as the underclass was "heaving in its pain, its power, and its hate." In The Proud Tower, Barbara W. Tuchman brings the era to vivid life: the decline of the Edwardian aristocracy; the Anarchists of Europe and America; Germany and its self-depicted hero, Richard Strauss; Diaghilev's Russian ballet and Stravinsky's music; the Dreyfus Affair; the Peace Conferences in The Hague; and the enthusiasm and tragedy of Socialism, epitomized by the assassination of Jean Jaur s on the night the Great War began and an epoch came to a close. Praise for The Proud Tower " Barbara W. Tuchman's] Pulitzer Prize-winning The Guns of August was an expert evocation of the first spasm of the 1914-1918 war. She brings the same narrative gifts and panoramic camera eye to her portrait of the antebellum world."--Newsweek"A rare combination of impeccable scholarship and literary polish . . . It would be impossible to read The Proud Tower without pleasure and admiration."--The New York Times "An exquisitely written and thoroughly engrossing work . . . The author's knowledge and skill are so impressive that they whet the appetite for more."--Chicago Tribune " Tuchman] tells her story with cool wit and warm understanding."--Time

***Please read whole review for full story. Product is good. Delivery was issue.
Color: Light Rose Gold Body Glow, Color: Light Rose Gold Body Glow
I had ordered a bunch of items at once; but within the large box they came in that had no signs of forced entry, there were 2 boxes that were clearly busted open and tampered with, and unfortunately the body shimmer oil was one of them.
You can see that someone opened it, and had to go through the plastic to do so, and this makes it concerning for health/safety issues when ultimately using the product. (Speaking in terms of people putting fentanyl on everything).
Thankfully I don’t think that’s the case, and the body shimmer oil works as described. I have fair skin and personally I think the shimmer itself isn’t overwhelming or underwhelming- it’s just right.
My only issue is that I’m sensitive to perfumes and I find the scent disturbs my respiratory system a bit, making me cough.
If that’s not an issue for you, this is a good product.

Love it.
Color: 03 Glistening Bronze
I got the darkest one and it’s really nice even though I am so pale skinned. It will be beautiful shimmer for summer.. the bottle looks bigger than it is but it’s still a great product. I don’t know if the sunscreen part is legit but I haven’t tried. I just got it for the glitter.

A fresh dewy glow.
Color: 01 Rose Gold
My First time purchase and am clearly lovin it. Glitter creates a nature sheen
and a dewy, moist appearance. Color I chose blends perfectly with my
light base.
