With the heart of an Atwood tale and the visuals of a classic Asian period drama, Nghi Vo's The Empress of Salt and Fortune is a tightly and lushly written narrative about empire, storytelling, and the anger of women. A young royal from the far north, is sent south for a political marriage in an empire reminiscent of imperial China. Her brothers are dead, her armies and their war mammoths long defeated and caged behind their borders. Alone and sometimes reviled, she must choose her allies carefully. Rabbit, a handmaiden, sold by her parents to the palace for the lack of five baskets of dye, befriends the emperor's lonely new wife and gets more than she bargained for. At once feminist high fantasy and an indictment of monarchy, this evocative debut follows the rise of the empress In-yo, who has few resources and fewer friends. She's a northern daughter in a mage-made summer exile, but she will bend history to her will and bring down her enemies, piece by piece.

The novellas of The Singing Hills Cycle are linked by the cleric Chih, but may be read in any order, with each story serving as an entry point. Praise for The Empress of Salt and Fortune "An elegant gut-punch, a puzzle box that unwinds itself in its own way and in its own time. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Gorgeous. Cruel. Perfect. I didn't know I needed to read this until I did."--Seanan McGuire "A tale of rebellion and fealty that feels both classic and fresh, The Empress of Salt and Fortune is elegantly told, strongly felt, and brimming with rich detail. An epic in miniature, beautifully realised."--Zen Cho "Nghi Vo's gracefully told debut . . . resides in the intimate margins of its (beautifully imagined) world's history, portraying how the marginalized may yet shape those narratives and harness the power of stories."--Indrapramit Das

On My 5th Bottle – That Says It All
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my fifth bottle of Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Cleansing Oil, and that alone should say how much I love it.
It removes makeup effortlessly, including stubborn mascara and long-wear products, without irritating my skin. The formula feels gentle and nourishing, not heavy or greasy. It rinses clean and leaves my skin feeling soft and balanced rather than stripped.
I appreciate that it works well even on sensitive skin and doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts. It has become a staple in my routine, and I keep repurchasing because it consistently delivers.
Highly recommend if you want an effective yet gentle cleansing oil that truly works.

Ideal for double cleansing
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Removes makeup and sunscreen just fine, although it doesn’t remove my nyx eyeliner. Does not foam, turns into a milky texture. Leaves a slignt oil film over the skin after removing with water, warm water seems to remove it a little better. I don’t mind too much since it’s the first step to my nightly double cleanse, I go over with another cleanser after. I like that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight after.

Amazing product for dry, mature skin.
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve used Micellar water for years and this is a nice addition as it is very moisturizing, especially for mature skin (I also live in a very dry climate). Great for removing stubborn mascara and eye makeup.

Fabulous product for makeup removal
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this. I use a good squirt, massage into skin, including onto eyelids and lashes, then wet my hands, and massage into face further, which creates some suds. Then I use a disposable washcloth. I make it wet and wipe it all off. The makeup comes right off my face, including mascara, and my face feels soft and not dry at all afterwards. I’m on my second bottle.
