Extraterrestrials on the Moon

WELLS, H. G. The First Men in the Moon. London: George Newnes Limited. 1901.

8vo. Publisher’s dark blue cloth, upper board and spine lettered in gilt with gilt central floral vignette and crescent moon, respectively, black endpapers; pp. vii, [1 (blank)], 342; illustrated frontispiece and a further 11 plates by Claude Shepperson; some pushing and wear to spine ends; a few light creases to corners, plate facing p. 101 slightly loose; a very good copy.

First edition, first issue in book form of the first book by H. G. Wells to be adapted as a film (1919).

C. S. Lewis – who took The First Men in the Moon as a model for his Out of the Silent Planet (1938) – called Wells’s novel ‘the best of the sort I have read’. In it, ‘a scientist and a young adventurer, working in secret in a remote English country setting, build a spherical spaceship out of gravity-repellent material and travel to the moon, where, captured by insectlike inhabitants who dwell beneath its inhospitable surface, they inadvertently reveal the brutality of the human race and are brought before the “Grand Lunar” for judgment’ (Zaleski and Zaleski, The Fellowship (2015), p. 253). The work was first published serially in the Strand Magazine – founded by George Newnes, publisher of this edition – between December 1900 and August 1901.

Beautiful and subtle

Took this on a work trip and it added just the right amount of shimmer to my skin. Very subtle just what I was looking for.

Gorgeous summer glow anytime
Color: Glistening Bronze #03, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The body shimmer is like being kissed by warm summer breeze a glow of star dust. It lights not sticky or tacky. It gloriously luxurious but simple way to step a look.

Cute, Smells like Chemicals
Color: Rose Gold #01, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Rose Gold #01, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Looks great but transfers easily. I liked the shade and how the glitter was visible but not distracting. I wasn’t fond of how it smelled but I covered the scent with my sunscreen and I didn’t notice afterwards. Smells like a chemical like scent but it was worth the value I paid for. Good as a highlighter, to add a touch of glow to the face. You can’t see it under foundation but it’s cute on the cheek bones to give a make up less look on a sunny day. The brush is also good quality.

Quick glow up
Color: Glistening Bronze #03, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a great bronzing shimmer for a little added glow before walking out the door! It's very lightweight and goes on very smooth with brush. I ended up buying and using a larger kabuki brush to brush on faster but the brush it comes with works ok as well. It's the perfect amount of bronze and shimmer.. not glittery or over the top and doesn't have a smell. Doesn't transfer on clothes but I always let it dry a few minutes before putting on clothes.
