Description

To the Scaffold: The Life of Marie AntoinetteOne of history's most misunderstood figures, Marie Antoinette represents the extravagance and the decadence of pre Revolution France. Yet there was an innocence about Antoinette, thrust as a child into the chillingly formal French court. Married to the maladroit, ill mannered Dauphin, Antoinette found pleasure in costly entertainments and garments. She spent lavishly while her overtaxed and increasingly hostile subjects blamed her for France's plight.

One of history's most misunderstood figures, Marie Antoinette represents the extravagance and the decadence of pre-Revolution France. Yet there was an innocence about Antoinette, thrust as a child into the chillingly formal French court.

Married to the maladroit, ill-mannered Dauphin, Antoinette found pleasure in costly entertainments and garments. She spent lavishly while her overtaxed and increasingly hostile subjects blamed her for France's plight. In time Antoinette matured into a courageous Queen, and when their enemies finally closed in, Antoinette followed her inept husband to the guillotine in one last act of bravery.

In To the Scaffold, Carolly Erickson provides an estimation of a lost Queen that is psychologically acute, richly detailed, and deeply moving.

Teenager Approved
I purchased this for a teenager. She said this is the only product she found to work well for her dark skin tone.

Better than the high end brands
Style: Cream, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This lotion has changed my skin. I am on year 6 of perimenopause, fun right! My skin at 50 yrs old was dry and I was experiencing cystic acne as well as regular acne !! Like why, seriously!? Anyway I had tried at least five different facial moisturizers, and some very expensive ones only to continue to have dry skin and acne. I purchased this on a whim, just hoping... and low and behold it worked atleast on the dryness, which helped the acne slightly! I incorporated in some zinc, magnesium, dim supplements and whalaah!! Acne and dry skin have been gone for 5 months now! My face and neck feel soft, moisturized, and I think the skin is even looking more tone.

Love this!
Style: Cream, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the best moisturizer I have found in a long time. It goes on smoothly and makes my skin feel soft and smooth. No smell or greasy feel to it that I especially like. I had tried to order it sooner, but it said it wasn’t available right then from Amazon. I contacted the company by email and they let me know when it was back in stock plus a 15% coupon off my next order. So I ordered 4 more jars today.

The Holy Grail Product with Horrible Packaging
Style: Cream, Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a great nighttime routine product. The product itself? Fantastic, no complaints. There’s no dryness, skin feels silky, and it’s moisturizing but with no oiliness or residue. It has never irritated my skin, and I’ve never had to use a moisturizer on top of it. It’s also incredibly lightweight and it absorbs quickly. My one complaint? The container. In theory, I love the concept of a little button-pump bottle, but after a week or so, the product doesn’t reach the pump. If you buy this, just be aware to NOT THROW IT OUT just because it’s not coming out when you pump the container. You’re going to have to unscrew the lid (particularly with the bigger size) and then bam - you’ve got like two more months worth of product. I mean truly, like only a THIRD of the product can be dispensed the intended way, and the rest you’ve gotta unscrew and dip your fingers in. Which totally defeats the purpose. Great product, DUMB packaging.
