This is the fascinating life of femme fatale Alice de Janz , a book that may well have solved the mystery of Lord Erroll's killing (San Francisco Chronicle)--the story at the center of James Fox's White Mischief.

A glamorous American multimillionairess, Alice de Janz scandalized 1920s Paris when she left her aristocratic French husband for an English lover--whom she later tried to kill in a failed murder-suicide. Abandoning Paris for the moneyed British colonial society known as Kenya's Happy Valley, she became the lover of womanizer Joss Hay, Lord Erroll. In 1941, Erroll was shot in his car on an isolated road. The crime remained unsolved.

Paul Spicer, whose mother was a confidante of Alice's, uses personal letters and research to piece together what really happened that fateful evening. He brings to life an era of unimaginable wealth and indulgence, where jealousy and hidden passions brewed. At the heart of The Temptress is Alice, whose seductive charms no man could resist, and whose unfulfilled quest for love ended in her own suicide at age forty-two.

Good choice for sensitive skin
Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1)
I purchased this in preparation for a trip. I wanted to be able to clean my face while on a flight but have super sensitive skin so normal makeup wipes burn and cause a lot of irritation. These are very similar to baby wipes. They have virtually no scent and work relatively well in getting off sunscreen. I haven tried with makeup yet so I can’t speak on that. I used about 2 or 3 and my face didn’t burn at all. I think it’s a good choice for those who want the convenience of a makeup wipe but can’t use regular ones.

Very gentle, yet effective
Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1)
These are a great bang for your buck! My daughter struggles with her sensitive skin. These make up wipes are so soft and feels like a gentle clothe. No obnoxious smells, and resealable. Perfect for traveling. Her skin feels great after wiping off the most stubborn water proof make up. The price makes it a no brainer!

Gentle but very effective in removing all types of makeup
Size: 25 Count (Pack of 1)
I had been using a different brand of make up remover towelettes for years until one day I opened up a new pack and my eyes swelled up and my skin looked burned around my eyes . A waited a few days & tried it again and same thing - only worse . It seems that the manufacturer changed the formula ( why manufacturers insist on fixing something when it’s not broken is beyond me ). Anyway , I googled and read up on all kinds of make up remover towelets and took note that the Simple Kind to Skin seemed to have the best reviews . I tried them and have been using them ever since . They are non greasy which I love , extremely gentle on the skin but excellent on removing makeup even stubborn waterproof mascara . And they don’t dry out your skin . Good product . Note to manufacturer : please do not EVER change this formula .
