They named the planet “La Femme” and called it a paradise and refused to leave it. Now Julia 9561 is heading up the mission to retrieve the errant crew and establish meaningful Contact with the inhabitants. Are the inhabitants really all female, as the first crew claimed? Why don't the men want to return to Earth? What happened to the women on the crew? And why did Paul 22423 warn the First Council to send only male crew members? “Chercher La Femme, which unfolds in a strange, complex, alien future, effectively explores several themes: of personal identity and how it holds itself together but is also porous to experience; of communication with alien life forms and how amorphous and challenging that might be; and of the visceral power of alien forms of beauty and art, giving the story compelling depths. The tense stretch between the Pax and the “Outsiders” offers an interesting representation of the real-world tension we now live with, between low-tech societies and those racing to colonize outer (and inner, personal) space in all sorts of ways. “There's some interesting tidal stirring going on at the more cerebral levels of modern SF, which I think began with books like A Voyage to Arcturus and Solaris. It's now manifesting itself in, for example, Jeff Vandermeer's Southern Reach books and in this book, Chercher La Femme, as well as in films like Arrival, They Remain, and of course Annihilation. Human bafflement and consternation characterize these stories in the face of the most alien kind of alien-ness we can imagine at this point, and a necessary softening and yielding of our age-old infatuation with a propulsive, often violent drive to control (or kill) whatever is ineffable and strange to us.” —Suzy McKee Charnas, author of The Vampire Tapestry and the Holdfast Chronicles

Works well and neutral scent. Has white cast.
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Set name: Tube - 3 oz.
Not a bad sunscreen. I wore it yesterday at a water park, reapplied every 1-2 hours, and didn’t get burned. Works well as a sunscreen and has a very neutral scent, which I appreciate a lot. However, like most mineral sunscreens it feels a bit heavy and definitely has a white cast. I’m pretty pale and still had a hard time getting it to blend in. It’s priced well, available at many super markets, offers good protection, and the neutral scent means I will continue using it (I stopped using some other sunblocks because of the scent alone). Just know it feels heavy and has a white cast.

Favorite Mineral Sunscreen
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Set name: Tube - 5 oz.
This is my go to mineral sunscreen. It's very effective at protecting your skin from the harsh UV rays. It great to use for any water based activities, since it stays on your skin regardless of how wet it gets. I'm also able to use it under my eyes without it irritating them. Though it does leave behind a white cast after applying, but I personally don't mind it.

My favorite mineral sunscreen for Hawaii
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Set name: Tube - 3 oz.
My favorite mineral sunscreen for Hawaii. I just got back from a week in Maui. I took 3 different brands of mineral sunscreen. For Maui it has to say mineral to be allowed. Of the 3 the Blue Lizard was our favorite. It went on white but rubbed in the quickest. We applied in our room before going out for several hours and never got a burn the entire week. I only reapplied once on a hike. Would recommend Blue Lizard!

Great for very sensitive skin!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Set name: Tube - 3 oz.
Use this every day. It's my primer. Lol I have extremely sensitive skin to the point where one wrong move lands me in the ER. This worked for me. Slight greasiness but works well for me as I can't wear foundation. This at least hydrates and protects. Love it.

Sky High is right!
Color: BLACKEST BLACK, Size: 0.24 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This mascara truly delivers. The formula dries quickly without flaking or transferring, and the slim applicator brush makes application effortless and precise. I wore it all day and well into the night, and it stayed flawless the entire time with no touch-ups needed. Long-lasting, lightweight, and high quality. I will definitely be repurchasing.
