With the bravura storytelling and pungent authenticity of detail she brought to her acclaimed Lymond Chronicles, Dorothy Dunnett, grande dame of the historical novel, presents The House of Niccol series. The time is the 15th century, when intrepid merchants became the new knighthood of Europe. Among them, none is bolder or more cunning than Nicholas vander Poele of Bruges, the good-natured dyer's apprentice who schemes and swashbuckles his way to the helm of a mercantile empire.

In 1461, Nicholas is in Florence. Backed by none other than Cosimo de' Medici, he will sail the Black Sea to Trebizond, last outpost of Byzantium, and the last jewel missing from the crown of the Ottoman Empire. But trouble lies ahead. Nicholas's stepdaughter--at the tender age of thirteen--has eloped with his rival in trade: a Machiavellian Genoese who races ahead of Nicholas, sowing disaster at every port. And time is of the essence: Trebizond may fall to the Turks at any moment. Crackling with wit, breathtakingly paced, The Spring of the Ram is a pyrotechnic blend of scholarship and narrative shimmering with the scents, sounds, colors, and combustible emotions of the 15th century.

Pretty and easy to use/wash off
Color: Sparkling Pink
Pretttyyy! It washes off easily when you want it to, so there’s no worries with it feeling “permanent.” It does rub off too but with excessive rubbing. It’s a pretty color that’s holographic-like. We love it for sparkly cheeks!

Great Body Glitter
Color: Sparkling Pink
The main colors of this holo glitter are purple, blue, and silver. It worked perfectly for my outfit, and I honestly had no complaints. When it comes to glitter, there’s nothing you can do to prevent it from getting everywhere, so I don’t hold that against the product at all. It sheds like normal but this literally stayed on after I wore it all day/night at a concert while sweating in 90-100°F heat the whole time; it lasts great. It also washed off super easy with some warm water and soap, which was such a relief. The gel/liquid itself is incredibly easy to apply, as it is pretty thin and dries quickly (maybe 3-5 minutes for total dryness I think?). You have to shake the bottle a bit to get the glitter spread out, but it rolls on easily. It sparkles great as well.

Cheap body glitter if that is what you are looking for
Color: Laser Green
The container broke so be careful!!! Also, the glitter doesn’t really roll on that well and kept getting clumped into the sides of the roller. If you are looking for cheap body glitter this is it!! Otherwise, it lasts all day and washes off easily

Great Product
Size: 48" One Size Fits Most, Color: Black
I like these. Quick on/off, can be used as a gentle leader, also. I don't like the leash clipped onto the collar because if the clip breaks - they are plastic and rot over time - then your dog is gone, possible dead because, after all, dogs have no sense of running in front of a 3,000 pound vehicle.

Works great for training dogs to walk with you
Size: Large, Color: Blue
I am a dog sitter and I like these for walking new dogs that I'm not familiar with. The dogs walk better with this type of leash rather than a harness.
