SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY MADONNAThe extraordinary memoir of an orphan who danced her way from war-torn Sierra Leone to ballet stardom, most recently appearing in Beyonce's Lemonade and as a principal in a major American dance company.
"Michaela is nothing short of a miracle, born to be a ballerina. For every young brown, yellow, and purple dancer, she is an inspiration " --Misty Copeland, world-renowned ballet dancer Michaela DePrince was known as girl Number 27 at the orphanage, where she was abandoned at a young age and tormented as a "devil child" for a skin condition that makes her skin appear spotted. But it was at the orphanage that Michaela would find a picture of a beautiful ballerina en pointe that would help change the course of her life. At the age of four, Michaela was adopted by an American family, who encouraged her love of dancing and enrolled her in classes. She went on to study at the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School at the American Ballet Theatre and is now the youngest principal dancer with the Dance Theatre of Harlem. She has appeared in the ballet documentary First Position, as well as on Dancing with the Stars, Good Morning America, and Nightline. In this engaging, moving, and unforgettable memoir, Michaela shares her dramatic journey from an orphan in West Africa to becoming one of ballet's most exciting rising stars. "Michaela DePrince is the embodiment of what it means to fight for your dream." --Today "Michaela DePrince is a role model for girls on and off stage." --NYLON

Clear skin + glow = skincare unlocked
Scent: Rose Petal, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Rose Petal, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This mist makes my skin feel so soft and hydrated! I use it after cleansing or whenever I need a glow boost. Smells amazing and never irritates my skin total staple in my routine! These two are a match made in skincare heaven! The pads keep my breakouts under control, and the rose mist adds the perfect glow and hydration. Together they make my routine feel like a mini spa moment.

One of my favorites!
Scent: Rose Petal, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is one of my favorite sprays. It feels so good, gentle on my skin, I personally like the smell because it smells like roses. It moisturizes my skin, I like to put it on even in the middle of the day over my makeup, it seems to freshen it up. My skin loves this spray, it's very refreshing. I will definitely be buying again.

My Favorite Reasonably Priced Facial Toner
Scent: Rose Petal, Size: 3 ounce (Pack of 1)
This toner is always in my medicine cabinet. I love it. I use it every time after washing my face and prior to applying moisturizer. The rose scent is my perfect, not too overpowering or synthetic. I usually purchase the large size to refill my small spritzer size.

100% Worth a Try!
Listen to me carefully: I haven’t been this excited about a skincare product in a LONG time, and I try a lot of new products every year. I had just tried a new “viral” makeup primer that sucked every ounce of moisture out of my already dry skin in one day, ruining my skin barrier and making anything but water sting on my face, so I decided to give this a try. The consistency is light when applying, and not heavy- but you can feel that you have a protective moisturizing layer over the skin. The biggest thing? NO STINGING even on red, dry, irritated skin! Centella really is the best soothing ingredient I’ve tried. It gives a soft glow without looking oily. I haven’t had a “holy grail” product in years, until now!
