Mathilde Kschessinska, Prima ballerina of the St. Petersburg Imperial Theatre, tells her life story in these moving and dramatic memoirs.

Born in Imperial Russia in 1872, Kschessinska came from a family of dancers and was trained in ballet. Noted as a great talent from youth, KschessinskaÕs destiny was shaped by her debut performance: she won the praise of visiting Russian royalty and met the young man who was to become the future Tsar Nicholas II. The two became romantically involved for three years, until the young Grand Duke was betrothed to the future Empress Alexandra.

Perhaps the most dramatic and harrowing passages of this memoir date to the Russian Revolution: the sudden plunge of the nation into chaos and anarchy, and the danger the author was in as a known associate of RussiaÕs royal family, is told. By sheer fortune, Kschessinska and her husband were able to escape to France, but not after a series of close calls amid the melee of RussiaÕs devastating civil war.

Organic Sunscreen with an Air-Brushed Finish
I've been using the Coola Organic sunscreen on my face for about 5 years now. I love that it protects my skin without dangerous chemicals. The product has virtually no scent and has a pleasant creamy, but not greasy, texture. An additional perk is that it creates an instant "air-brushed" looking finish to my skin. Note: I have found that you have to shake the tube (especially when new) or else the product emerges a bit watery at first. I've always used the non-tinted formula so I can't comment on how the tinted formula works. Also, the "cooling" aspect of the product seems more of hype than reality. But, over all, this is an excellent sunscreen.

Good sunscreen
I really like the little bit of glow it gives my face. I’ve used it several times while on the water and it has worked well. I’ve not had any skin irritations.

Finish looks great. The light tint makes for a more even distribution. The smell is pleasant. SPF will help protect the face from the sun. I would purchase this again.

This is a very good product. Everyday I use CeraVe lightweight 30 or 50 spf and mix Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi and B-Goldi drops for a tint and shimmer. This is the only “makeup” I wear as I don’t like heavy makeup and prefer just a subtle glow with a daily sunscreen. This product effectively replaces all of those products for me. I put this on to try yesterday afternoon and my husband immediately said “Did you do something different? You look good.” It’s is a little more runny than I expected but applies thinly (as I prefer) and provides just enough tint to cover some of my redness. The glow is beautiful. Love the packaging, the pump is very easy to manage and keep clean. Too soon to know if it will cause breakouts or how well it holds up in the sun (although my other experiences with SunBum have been that it works well). I will update my review if I have breakouts. Buy this! Edited to add: a dermatologist complimented my skin due to this product “your skin looks great, you’re glowing!” I have not had breakouts from using this product. I still use everyday with a little cream blush and mascara and call it good. I stock up when this goes on sale but even when not on sale it is a great price. Still not 100% sure about it’s effectiveness at sun protection although I’m pretty sure it’s better than nothing. Wish this exact product was available in 50 spf. Still a fave!
