3/31/2023 0 Comments 211 aloof lipstick![]() I am a winter color type myself, so cooler tones do look best on me too. Due to the cool tone of this lipstick I expect it looks the best on cool and neutral skin tones. This is not a lipstick for serious occasions, but perfect for your days off or parties. It is brighter than I expected, but I still like the shade. The color I chose is this raspberry pink. This lipstick packaging is timeless, good quality and really feels luxurious. ![]() The carton box is sealed with a plastic film, very good from a hygienic perspective. The Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Matte in shade 211 Aloof comes in a luxurious packaging. Estee Lauder just makes great cosmetics, that do feel luxurious. I am a huge fan of Estee Lauder’s Double Wear stay-in-place foundation (the only foundation I have repurchased multiple times), the mattifier primer, skincare and of course the cult favourite Advanced Night Repair serum. I find these hues of neutrals, nudes, pinks and reds very elegant and classy. I feel like pink lipstick really brightens up my face and flatters my look. So I decided to go for a matte finish lipstick, with a fun pink color. This is actually the first time I tried one of Estee Lauders lipsticks. A true gem in the luxury lipstick category, if you ask me. So today I have the pleasure of sharing all the ins and outs of the Estee Lauder lipsticks. Cosmetics will always spark my interest as makeup is a big creative outlet for me. Based on ten years of archival research in Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia and India, on Persianate chronicles and an abundance of campaign memoirs, this book explains how Russia acquired and governed a colonial empire in Central Asia, with consequences that still resonate today.It has been a hot minute since I last shared my opinions about a makeup product. It also explores in depth Russian diplomatic relations with Central Asian states and peoples, China, Persia and the British Empire. From the earliest conflicts on the steppe frontier in the 1830s, to the annexation of the Pamirs in the early 1900s, it gives a detailed account of the logistics and operational history of Russian wars against Khoqand, Bukhara and Khiva, the capture of Tashkent and Samarkand, the bloody subjection of the Turkmen, and the decision-making processes that launched these campaigns. This book is the first comprehensive military and diplomatic history of the conquest to be published for over a hundred years. The Russian conquest of Central Asia was the 19th century's most dramatic and successful example of European imperial expansion, adding 1.5 million square miles of territory and at least 6 million people - most of them Muslims - to the Tsar's domains. These fill an important gap in the literary history of Central Asia and hopefully will stimulate further interest in this remarkable man. It includes several of his most important works, including the report on his visit to Kashgar and a number of essays on the history and genealogy of the Kazakh people. This is the first collection of his writings translated into English since four essays were published in 1865. Despite his remarkable insights, Valikhanov is not well known in the English-speaking world. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Petr Petrovich Semenov Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Journeys to Kuldja, to Issyk Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he always remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian Establishment. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan that began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year saw him in disguise as a Tashkent merchant, risking his life to gather vital information, not just on current events, but on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet School at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. ![]() Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more importantly, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. When Chokan Valikhanov died of TB in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian Academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as “a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies”.
