"Line Vautrin: Sculptor, Jeweller, Magician" (SOLD)Line Vautrin is one of those archetypally French personalities others are Cocteau, Piaf and Christian Berard whose talents are compounded of dreams, poetry, images from the past and a mischievous sense of fun. Since she was five years old, she has, like an alchemist turning base metals into gold, transformed humble materials into miracles of beauty and imagination. Even the war time scarcity of metals did not stop her; they made invention all the more

Line Vautrin is one of those archetypally French personalities - others are Cocteau, Piaf and Christian Berard - whose talents are compounded of dreams, poetry, images from the past and a mischievous sense of fun.

Since she was five years old, she has, like an alchemist turning base metals into gold, transformed humble materials into miracles of beauty and imagination.

Even the war-time scarcity of metals did not stop her; they made invention all the more important.

Her career took off from a shop in the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore and a Louis XV hotel in the Marais, housing her workshops, showroom and apartment, which became a veritable Aladdin's cave.

Like Schiaparelli, Vautrin pioneered designer buttons; but hers were part of a range of jewelry that is utterly unlike anyone else's: made in a variety of substances from gilt bronze to resin, and in forms inspired by ancient Greek coins, medieval folk art, animals, word-games, or, in her extraordinary abstract ensembles, the material itself.

From jewelry, her love of handiwork and inventing shapes led her on to sculpture, and finally to an altogether new art-form which she calls "pellimorphoses.

"But Line Vautrin is much more than the sum of her inventions: she is a part of history, and her work is sought by museums.

This tribute is the first to fix the shifting colors of her life in permanent form.

Vautrin herself has contributed a witty autobiographical sketch, and supervised the layout of her pieces in the color plates, while Patrick Mauries supplies a knowledgeable assessment of her work.

An incarnation of the ideal Parisienne, Line Vautrin has been fashioning whimsical, charming objects for decades.

Now a new audience has the chance to enter her enchanted world.

Great foaming facewash
I love this face-wash! It foams up nicely, is very light and does a great job of removing makeup, oil & dirt - leaving your skin feeling clean. I have combination skin, am not prone to acne, but do occasionally get a pimple every now and then. If you’re looking for a nice, light foaming face wash, that doesn’t burn or leave residue, try this! I highly recommend it!

Refreshing and gentle — a solid cleanser for sensitive skin!
Refreshing and gentle — a solid cleanser for sensitive skin! I’ve been using the Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam for a few weeks now, and it’s become one of my favorite daily face washes. The texture is creamy and creates a soft foam that feels gentle but still gives a deep clean. I have combination skin with visible pores around my nose, and this cleanser helps control oil without leaving my skin tight or dry. The heartleaf and quercetinol ingredients really seem to calm redness and irritation — perfect if you have sensitive or reactive skin. My pores look a bit smaller and my skin feels smoother overall. It also has a very mild, clean scent that doesn’t linger. The only small downside is that it can take a little effort to rinse completely if you use too much product. Otherwise, it’s great value for the quality and performance.

Gently enough for sensitive skin
I love this cleanser. I have purchased this multiple times. I have sensitive combination skin and it works great for me. It exfoliates gently with out irritating my skin and feels like a spa quality product. Will continue to purchase

Best Skin cleanser
Best ever. Deep cleans pore and I can see makeup melting off the face once you wash with this. Post results: Super clean soft skin, my face shines. Been using only for 2 weeks now, so cannot comment on Pore size reduction. Extra sensitive eczema skin approved.
