**New York Times Bestseller**USA Today Bestseller**The Sunday Times Bestseller**The Globe and Mail Bestseller**ABA Indie Bestseller**The Times (UK) Memoir of the Year**One of Newsweek's Most Anticipated Books of 2020**An extraordinary memoir of drama, tragedy, and royal secrets by Anne Glenconner--a close member of the royal circle and lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret. As seen on Netflix's The Crown.
Anne Glenconner has been at the center of the royal circle from childhood, when she met and befriended the future Queen Elizabeth II and her sister, the Princess Margaret. Though the firstborn child of the 5th Earl of Leicester, who controlled one of the largest estates in England, as a daughter she was deemed "the greatest disappointment" and unable to inherit. Since then she has needed all her resilience to survive court life with her sense of humor intact. A unique witness to landmark moments in royal history, Maid of Honor at Queen Elizabeth's coronation, and a lady in waiting to Princess Margaret until her death in 2002, Anne's life has encompassed extraordinary drama and tragedy. In Lady in Waiting, she will share many intimate royal stories from her time as Princess Margaret's closest confidante as well as her own battle for survival: her broken-off first engagement on the basis of her "mad blood"; her 54-year marriage to the volatile, unfaithful Colin Tennant, Lord Glenconner, who left his fortune to a former servant; the death in adulthood of two of her sons; a third son she nursed back from a six-month coma following a horrific motorcycle accident. Through it all, Anne has carried on, traveling the world with the royal family, including visiting the White House, and developing the Caribbean island of Mustique as a safe harbor for the rich and famous-hosting Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Raquel Welch, and many other politicians, aristocrats, and celebrities. With unprecedented insight into the royal family, Lady in Waiting is a witty, candid, dramatic, at times heart-breaking personal story capturing life in a golden cage for a woman with no inheritance.

Great product for south Florida resident.
I LOVE this sunscreen so much! I have tried so many different sunscreens and they always leave me greasy and shiny in a few hours time. I live in south Florida and I know the importance of protecting my skin especially my face against the harsh sunlight. This sunscreen feels light and mousterizes my skin without leaving it greasy and oily. The light cucumber scent is absoluteltly lovely but in no way overpowering. It goes great under my makeup and doesn't have the sunscreen heavy feeling that I despise. It's a little pricey but I do plan on buying again when I run out.
P.S my boyfriend also occasionally uses this moisturizer and he also enjoys it and says it feels like great quality stuff.

Organic face lotion and sunscreen in ONE!
I had been looking all over for an organic face lotion and sunscreen and was having a hard time. I tried several that left a white residue on my face and then I found this one. It has a nice, light, relatively thin consistently that absorbs very easily, without any residue or caking.
I have tried both the unscented and the cucumber and I like both. I find the cucumber scent refreshing and not overwhelming- although I know others didn't like it.
I think the 1.7 oz last about 3-4 months, which was awesome! And it is small enough to travel with on a plane!
This is a fantastic product! I only wish it didn't cost so much!

Love it!
I absolutely love this moisturizer! I originally got a sample of it through Birchbox and fell in love. It is the first facial moisturizer I've used that doesn't cause face demons and it actually got rid of my dry flaky bits around mouth and nose area after just a few uses. It smells delightful and fresh, it's very lightweight, and it's not at all greasy or oily feeling. I wanted to purchase it immediately after sampling but Birchbox was selling this same size bottle for $35 and I couldn't justify that so when Amazon had it listed for $15 at the time, I snatched it up! I will definitely be repurchasing this product again and again and again!

great product, horrid shipping packaging
Very moisturizing yet very light. I love the smell of cucumber, too. And the best feature is that it's organic, so you can safely use it on a daily basis. While I love the product, I do not like the way they ship it. When I received my COOLA, the box was smashed. But I did not imagine that it damaged the tube as well. You can kind of see them on the photo, but it created sharp-edged creases, from where it often starts leaking. I did not want to take a chance, so I contacted the seller, and they sent me a replacement. But the replacement box was also smashed, although the tube itself was not damaged this time. If you want to buy products as gifts, you can never buy them from this seller. COOLA itself is fantastic, so I wanted to give a 5 star, but the way they carelessly ship is unacceptable, which would have resulted in 2 stars, but they promptly replaced it, so I'd give 3.5, but for lack of 0.5 increment, I gave it 4 stars.

LOVES LOVES LOVES
This is the absolute best sunscreen on the market for your face. Or at least that I've ever tried. Being in my 20's I'm getting pretty obsessed with preventative care, and face sunscreen every day is a big priority. I actually received a sample size in my Birch Box Monthly Subscription and I fell in love with it.
So happy I found a cheaper once on Amazon because it usually is about $35! The smell is NOTHING like a sunscreen, it smells like fresh cucumber, and the texture is not thick. I put it on under my makeup and it does not feel the slightest bit heavy.
Needless to say, unless one day I have an allergic reaction to it, I will be using this sunscreen until I die.
