Hitherto, Count Charles Korsetz has never written anything except cheques; but here is his own entrancing account of the great days at Korsetz Castle, and of the parties and partis of a vanished Europe where he moved with aplomb in a world of fantastic wealth and extraordinary breeding.' Cecil Beaton's spoof memoir of an Eastern-European aristocrat, written in a similar vein to My Royal Past. The Count's narrative tells of the merry-go-round of European society and travel, broken up by the two World Wars. Anecdotes are populated by a thinly disguised cast of social extras, such as Mr W. Somerset W. Morn and Lady Coalfax. The text is complemented by spoof photographs. The American gossip columnist and author, Elsa Maxwell gamely plays the part of the Count, masquerading in a series of wigs and bald-caps. Other parts are modelled by Mae Murray, Sandra Douglas-Home, Charmain Montagu Douglas Scott, Perlita Neilson and Martita Hunt. The cover of the dust jacket features a portrait by 'the fashionable painter Beatknik'.

Fresh and clean
I'm not fully sold on blackhead removal, but I do like that it cleans dead skin and leaves a fresh, clean feeling. Will try for a couple more weeks to see if it makes any difference

Brighter, smoother skin within a week
This Peeling Shot Glow Rice Ampoule Duo has easily earned a permanent spot on my bathroom shelf. The day and night combo really does make a difference — the daytime ampoule brightens and smooths, while the nighttime formula deeply hydrates and helps my skin recover overnight. After about a week, I noticed a natural glow that even my partner commented on (and that’s saying something).The rice-based formula is gentle but still effective — it exfoliates without irritation, even on sensitive skin like mine. It has a clean, light scent and a silky texture that absorbs fast without feeling sticky. I use it on my face and occasionally on rougher areas like elbows and neck, and everything feels softer and more even-toned.It’s refreshing to find a product that delivers real results without harsh chemicals or heavy fragrances. The dual bottles also look sleek and keep my routine simple — one for day, one for night, done. I currently recommend this product. If anything changes I will update my review accordingly.

Amazing product
Size: 2.12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This cream is amazing! I was not expecting the results I got. My face feels soft, plump, and the redness in my cheeks is disappearing. My skin looks youthful and I’m 57. Very hydrated definitely don’t hesitate to purchase.
