By: Joanna Merwood-SalisburyA richly visual architectural history and theory of modernity that reexamines Thorstein Veblen’s classic text The Theory of the Leisure Class through the lens of Chicago in the 1890s.
An important critic of modern culture, American economist Thorstein Veblen is best known for the concept of “conspicuous consumption,” the ostentatious and wasteful display of goods in the service of social status—a term he coined in his 1899 classic The Theory of the Leisure Class. In the field of architectural history, scholars have employed Veblen in support of a wide range of arguments about modern architecture, but never has he attracted a comprehensive and critical treatment from the viewpoint of architectural history. In Barbarian Architecture, Joanna Merwood-Salisbury corrects this omission by reexamining Veblen’s famous book as an original theory of modernity and situating it in a particular place and time—Chicago in the 1890s.
Merwood-Salisbury takes her title from Veblen’s use of the term “barbarian,” which refers to his belief that Gilded Age American society was a last remnant of a barbarian state of greed and acquisitiveness. Taking an interdisciplinary approach that draws on biography, intellectual history, and historiography, she explores Veblen’s position in relation to debates about industrial reform and aesthetics in Chicago during the period 1890–1906. Bolstered by a strong visual narrative made possible by several of Chicago’s historic photographic collections, Barbarian Architecture makes a compelling and original argument for the influence of Veblen’s home city on his work and ideas.

Gentle, Effective Cleanser That Leaves Skin Feeling Clean Without Drying
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Bottle)
I’ve been using the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser for a bit now, and it’s been a really solid addition to my routine.
The cleanser has a light, foaming texture that spreads easily and does a great job removing dirt and oil without being harsh. It leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed, but not tight or overly dry, which is something I’ve struggled with using other face washes.
I also appreciate that it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin. There’s no strong fragrance, and it hasn’t caused any irritation or breakouts. It feels like a good balance between being effective and still mild enough for daily use.
The bottle is simple and easy to use, and a little goes a long way, so it should last a while.

Gentle, Effective Cleanser With Great Value Refills
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Refill)
Very reliable cleanser with clean formula and refill option. Fragrance-free, and doesn't irritate my skin. Excellent for daily use. The refill bag is a bit hard to navigate though, kind of floppy to pour from, and the cap broke of for me the first time.

Good Option for Sensitive Skin.
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Bottle), Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Bottle)
I've been using this foaming facial cleanser for a few months and overall, I've had a good experience with it so far. I usually use it at night, and I start by removing my makeup with micellar water, then use this cleanser in the shower, followed by moisturizer.
One thing I will say is that even though my skin tends to lean oily, this cleanser does leave a bit of a tight, slightly dry feeling on my skin after washing. I wouldn't really describe it as super moisturizing, but it's not a dealbreaker for me since I always follow up with moisturizer and it fixes that feeling right away. It also hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts for me, which is a big plus since I do have sensitive skin. It definitely feels non-greasy and very lightweight. The texture comes out as a gel, but it foams up really easily once you start using it. I also don't notice much fragrance in it, which makes it a good option for sensitive skin overall.
Overall, I'd say it's a good product to try out. Just be aware that it can feel a little drying afterward!

Good quality product and value for the money
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Bottle)
I girl loves this product so much that I always buy one before the one been used runs out. Aside from all the vitamins and minerals included in this formula, one can tell how good the product is by just using for a short period of time. It has never irritated my skin nor my girl’s. The texture is perfect “ not to runny/ not to lose. The container is mostly a value pack, so it is not very portable, but at the end I prefect a big size to make up my value for the money. I recommend the product and will continue buying it.

Skin feels so clean
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Bottle)
This cleanser is awesome for oily skin. Little to no scent and face feels soooo clean after. Very convenient pump and love buying in this larger size. If you have dry/combo skin, this can be a little too drying. Luckily, LRP has a version of this for dry skin that's incredible, too!
