Chernobyl. History Of A Tragedy

On 26 April 1986 at 1.23am a reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Soviet Ukraine exploded. While the authorities scrambled to understand what was occurring, workers, engineers, firefighters and those living in the area were abandoned to their fate. The blast put the world on the brink of nuclear annihilation, contaminating over half of Europe with radioactive fallout.

In Chernobyl, award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy draws on recently opened archives to recreate these events in all their drama. A moment by moment account of the heroes, perpetrators and victims of a tragedy, Chernobyl is the first full account of a gripping, unforgettable Cold War story.'A compelling history of the 1986 disaster and its aftermath . . . plunges the reader into the sweaty, nervous tension of the Chernobyl control room on that fateful night when human frailty and design flaws combined to such devastating effect' Daniel Beer, Guardian'Haunting ... near-Tolstoyan. His voice is humane and inflected with nostalgia' Roland Elliott Brown, Spectator'Extraordinary, vividly written, powerful storytelling ... the first full-scale history of the world's worst nuclear disaster, one of the defining moments in the Cold War, told minute by minute' Victor Sebestyen Sunday Times'Plays out like a classical tragedy ... fascinating' Julian Evans, Daily Telegraph'Here at last is the monumental history the disaster deserves' Julie McDowall, The Times

☀️ Holy Grail SPF Mist! especially for makeup days 💦
Item Package Quantity: 1, Item Package Quantity: 1
If you hate the feeling of greasy sunscreen but still want serious protection, this is the glow-up you’ve been waiting for. I use this as the last step in my morning skincare and as a top-up over makeup throughout the day. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and gives a dewy finish without looking oily, just a fresh, hydrated glow ✨ The mist is fine and even (no big droplets or weird stickiness), and it dries down fast. No white cast, no clogged pores, no breakouts. Just SPF 50+ that actually works with your makeup instead of wrecking it. I’ve even used it midday at Disneyland and didn’t burn once, and I’m someone who burns if I think too hard about sunshine 🥵 Helpful hint: Shake it well before spraying, and hold it about 6 inches from your face for a nice even mist. One pass usually does the trick, but I like to go back over my nose and cheeks for extra protection ☁️ It also doubles as a midday makeup refresher, especially when your foundation starts looking a little dry 🧴 I brought this with me on a full weekend trip to Disneyland and it absolutely earned its spot in my park bag 🎒 I was in the sun all day, both days, and didn’t burn at all, even with minimal shade and back-to-back rides 🎢 It layered like a dream over makeup, didn’t feel heavy, and made touch-ups fast and easy in between churros. This mist officially passed the Disneyland test. 🎡☀️💕

Good but heavy smell
Item Package Quantity: 1
I will keep using this bc it works and the sprayer is sooo nice but the smell is so overwhelming. It’s not a bad smell but it’s just so heavy. I’ll use this one but I don’t see myself repurchasing.

Good but confusing instructions
It is very glowy. After spraying this on my husband commented on why I was sweating so much 😹 I told him it’s my face mist spf. I have very dry and very sensitive skin and this has not broken me out (yet). I’ve used it for about a week now. I don’t know how much sun protection I’m really getting though. And reapplying it all through out the day, esp in the summer will lead to very very oily looking skin. It’s also confusing because it says do not spray directly onto face. (?) I just hold my breath and close my eyes tightly before I put my mascara on and spray this. So far it’s been helpful with not making my make up look cakey. There is a smell but it’s not a bad smell, slightly fruity and the smell of spf. If you are sensitive to smells this might not be for you.

It works
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I invested in this for its travel size and my needs for a product that would protect my skin and not make it feel super oily. This delivers!!! I used it for a week in Florida with UV up to 11 on some days and didn't face a single issue, even after a Disney day. I was almost in disbelief at how lightweight this product is for it to work properly, but the protection strength is fabulous. I don't burn in the sun, but if I do, its typically along my face where the bridge of my nose is or my upper cheeks. This product basically said, "not today, sun." Bonus, it didnt burn or sting my eyes all day in Disney parks heat, and I didn't need to reapply even though I brought it just in case. Maybe it was the product or the Disney magic, but my skin also didn't look oily or shiny at all in my pictures with the product offering a nice matte finish.
