"Burns makes it abundantly clear . . . they just don't make heiresses like Millicent Rogers anymore." --Hampton Sides

Nobody knew how to live the high life like Standard Oil heiress Millicent Rogers. Born to luxury, she lived in a whirl of European vacations, exquisite clothing, and dashing men.

In Searching for Beauty, Cherie Burns chronicles Rogers's rebellious life from her days as a young girl afflicted with rheumatic fever to her final days as one of the legendary chatelaines of New Mexico. She eloped with a penniless baron; danced tangos in European nightclubs; romanced Roald Dahl, Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, and Hollywood icon Clark Gable; and triumphed in the world of fashion. She was muse to legendary American designer Charles James, appeared in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and popularized Southwestern style by adopting turquoise jewelry, squaw skirts and short-waist jackets as her signature look.

With Searching for Beauty, Millicent Rogers enters the pantheon of great American women who, like Diana Vreeland and Babe Paley, put their distinctive stamp on American style.

Moisturizes with simmer!
Size: 5.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Not a lot of shimmer, which is a good thing when putting it on, thought it was going to be overwhelming from the bottle, but not. Moisturizes all day. Smell is strong in the beginning but dissipates after a while.

I caught a vibe!
Size: 5.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Ok, so I love this oil. As a pool girlie I loved laying out and lathering this on. The smell is simply fantastic! The bottle actually caught thy eye of a few sparkle girlies too by the pool and wanted to know where I got it. For a second I felt cool so, it’s five stars for me for setting a vibe and being the cool girl at the pool, with the sparkle and the great smelling skin!

Great lotion for very dry skin
Style: Updated Formula
I had a laser done on my face and the products they gave me weren't working. This came highly recommended so I gave it a try. I'm very glad I did! It moisturized my face really well without appearing greasy. I used the rest when my face got dry from winter (in th midwest). Felt very rich and smooth. Medium thickness.
