One PI. Ten crimes. "Stylistically reminiscent of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill. An exciting and original debut" (The Hoopla Literary Society).
A literary detective story ingeniously told in ten cases. John Dorn is a classic gumshoe. His woman has left him, he lives in his office, and he drinks too much. His one friend, a lawyer named Demetri, hands Dorn an infinite supply of hopeless cases and lost causes, to which Dorn, ever the champion of the underdog and the oppressed, is drawn to "as a sledgehammer is to a kneecap." A superlative work of hardboiled literary detective fiction, The Midnight Promise wonderfully evokes the underbelly of contemporary Melbourne, its battlers, its hard men, its victims, and its ill-fated heroes. "[A] powerful hard-boiled debut . . . The cases get progressively more disturbing, both in terms of their subject matter, which include gruesome torture, and their impact on Dorn, a classic world-weary narrator."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Lovitt has a neat way with a yarn. . . . And just when you think he is going to stay close to a kind of downbeat realism, there is a slide into something a little thrillerish and action-packed."--The Sydney Morning Herald "[An] artful, Down Under nod to the hard-boiled private eyes of Chandler and Hammett."--The Christian Science Monitor, "10 Excellent International Thrillers" "Lovitt is sure-handed in sketching characters, and he laces Dorn's cases with sardonic humor and prodigious bits of human frailty. . . . Fans of international crime fiction will enjoy Dorn and his milieu."--BooklistShipping Notes

Amazing Tanning lotion.
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
This is by far the best tanning lotion I've ever used
Goes on wet but absorbs completely. Doesn't leave your skin oily. It's not one for people with fare skin unless your used to the sun because theres no sunscreen.

Works amazingly but the scent is horrible like sweaty self tan
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
I’m giving this 3 stars due to the scent. It’s horrible. Not so much right away but after about 20 min and even after showering. I’m pretty sure it has self tanner in it. It doesn’t say this! So that’s bad. However, I had no orange on me anywhere or my hands.
The good, and if it weren’t for the scent? This stuff works so well! It’s so moisturizing without being too oily. It goes on good and evenly and doesn’t take much at all. My skin feels really good afterwards. It’s advertised as an intensifier and has no sunscreen which is what I wanted. But Omgosh the stink is real! Mixed with sweat it’s even worse.

Another B.tan product I loveeee
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
Loveeee! I only have experience using in a UV bed but it works wonderfully. Not super oily and gross on the skin, no strong odor but “summer” scent is light and refreshing. I do think it does have instant bronzer in it or potentially gradual tanning affects (like jergens lotion) because I had run a few errands after and my palms had gotten a tad orangey, it was gone after I exfoliated in shower though! Looking forward to using over summer
Love all b.tan products. The aerosol self tanner “tanned af” is the best for instant results!

Helped Tighten My Skin & Minimize Pores
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule, Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I’ve loved the Dr. Melaxin Cyano Pink Spicule Serum! The bottle is small, but it lasted me around 6 months since I only use one pump every other night. When I first started using it, I noticed a tingling sensation, but over time my skin adjusted and I barely notice it now. I’ve definitely seen my pores appear smaller and my skin feels tighter and smoother after using it.

Great for pore reduction
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
This product works great!! it almost feels like an exfoliator. It reduced the pours on my nose, which were very big and now you can barely see them. I would recommend this product if you have large pores also make skin look firmer and smoother more for a night cream though.
