Brighten up the face
The beauty brand BECCA, which joined Smashbox, is launching in Israel the famous makeup company's corrector under "!Smashbox Loves Becca".
The ceramic product is intended for color correction.
It has full coverage, is enriched with vitamin E and includes technology that uses light to lighten the dark circles under the eyes with peach and apricot shades.
We tested the pink shade, which is suitable for lighter skin: the formula is a little greasy, and you should work with it quickly so that it doesn't get into crevices and wrinkles.
The corrector brightened the area under the eyes, but did not completely solve the problem of dark circles, although they were definitely blurred.
On top we added concealer and powder to create a brighter look, and the result was excellent.

without guilt
"Danny Vagalit" is a brand that specializes in healthy baking, without preservatives and artificial sweeteners.
They launched a series of cookie boxes based on almond flour for those avoiding gluten and sugar, in four flavors: coconut hazelnut, orange zest blueberry, maple pecan and lemon zest and cashew.
Although most of the cookies had a similar, basic flavor, we found ourselves connecting more with the lemon-cashew one.
The cookies are simple, tasty and satisfying, only slightly sweet but you don't need more than that.
However, it is a considerable amount of calories: 80 for one cookie, which is not large.
If you settle for two with a cup of coffee - you will get a nutritious and tasty snack.

tough on the outside
We reviewed the large suitcase in the new rigid suitcase series of the house brand of the handbag chain, BOND, which is 77 cm high, 48 cm wide and 29 cm deep. It offers four double silicone wheels, an expansion zipper and a combination lock.
The suitcase arrived in a beautiful rose pink color, easy to spot at the airport, and also received quite a few compliments on its appearance.
It is durable and stable, and you can put food products in it without fear, the contents of which have spilled in other suitcases, such as a hot dish and the like.
The suitcase survived a plus connection trip to New York nicely, although in the way of rigid suitcases it looked a little bruised and tattered, and received some black stains (some of which came off when wiped) due to inappropriate treatment by the field workers.
During the trip it functioned well and was easy to use and transport.

Champagne of gold
The beautician Ariela Amarossi ("Ariella Beauty") releases a series of care products called CHAMPAGNE, as part of her Active Cosmetics line.
The series has a wash, a mask, a serum and a neck and eye cream, which are combined with pure gold, ceramides, peptides and more.
The lotion is pleasant and works well, although the gold flakes in it are mostly a gimmick, since they come off in the wash - and that's a good thing.
The bubbly champagne mask was particularly successful, and after it we felt the skin softer and cleaner.
The serum also includes small gold particles, which remain on the face - but are not too emphasized.
We tried the different creams for three weeks every day.
The neck cream and the eye cream give a feeling of freshness and firmness almost immediately, and with long-term use you can even see a real improvement in the elasticity and smoothness of the skin.
We also used the neck cream on the face and enjoyed similar results, the most impressive of which was a significant reduction in spots and redness on the face and neck after only 21 days.
If we could improve something - we would ask for a higher absorption capacity.
The creams take a little time to be absorbed, so it is recommended to use them in the evening.

Light and shadow games
New concealers from Jade offer coverage, blurring imperfections, illumination and shading.
The concealers, IDYLLIC BRIGHTENING, come in five shades, have a light texture and contain light-reflecting powders with care components.
We tested the lightest shade, which oxidized relatively quickly and was less suitable for us as a concealer.
If your skin is not particularly fair - you can find a solution in one of the colors, which indeed lightly cover the dark circles under the eyes and brighten the place, preferably in combination with a powder that will prevent the substance from entering the eye sockets.
We've tried the darker shades as shading, but we don't think they're dark enough to do the shading job properly.
However - the texture is pleasant, light and responds as a concealer with good coverage.

luxury to apply
A new series of lipsticks, Luxe Lipstick, comes to us from Bobbi Brown, and in it you can find 36 shades that last for ten hours, according to the company, which are enriched with care components to treat the skin of the lips, to soften and nourish them, such as chamomile extract.
The series is elegant, golden and luxurious, and the colors are pigmented, beautiful and spread easily and softly on the lips, but the lipstick itself is relatively large and heavy, and it is not so easy to shape the outline of the lips with it and make sure we don't go out of line.
Also, it is likely that it will last for ten hours only if you don't eat in those ten hours, otherwise - its durability matches other lipsticks.
