Mysterious scent for winter
Gucci releases two new perfumes - for men and women: Guilty Elixir de Parfum. The masculine exudes an air of presence and luxury, with captivating floral and amber notes, plus a generous layer of vanilla, tonka, nutmeg and patchouli. All this is melted into a uniquely stamped jumble that leaves a sweet-smoky cloud, just for winter. The feminine brings an elegant, sensual and mysterious fragrance, with a touch of wisteria and vanilla and tonka beans, combined with lily flowers and violets, creating fruity florals and a warm woody aroma. We were sorry that there is no larger version of the wonderful perfumes, but on the other hand - they fit in the bag easily.
Price: For men - 529 NIS for 60 ml, for women - 579 NIS for 60 ml

Smooth application
Eran Spiegel, 47, serves in the commando – and has been drafted into the reserves since that bloody Saturday. A few months earlier, he had started a business called YOOZ, which uses reusable products from environmentally friendly materials. From the moment it was raised, the business stopped, and revenue dropped to almost zero. On its site you can find beauty products, for home and kitchen, camping and various packages. We reviewed a package of blender sponges for applying makeup – which in Israel are very expensive or of low quality. A package of 4 swabs is sold at a really good price, and the sponges themselves in a variety of shapes suitable for application to all areas of the face, swell as befits after wetting with water and apply the foundation smoothly and perfectly.
Price:30 NIS per package, available on the website

Fresh face
Lirac's new micellar water, made up of 96% natural source with algae, is designed to remove makeup from your face and leave it clean – and it's fun to find a product that does exactly what it promises. The preparation has a pleasant and delicate smell, which does not cause allergies even to sensitive eyes. On a cotton swab, spray a little of the water and gently clean the face, without rubbing, and the makeup comes off easily - so does the mascara. The liquid is pleasant and does not dry out the skin, and is also ideal for dry skin.

It's all honey
NUXE introduces products from the honey-based Rêve de Miel® series for dry and delicate skin: cleansing gel and makeup remover from face and nourishing lip balm. The gel's ingredients include honey and other botanical oils to regenerate, restore and soothe the skin, and it becomes an emulsion on contact with water, cleansing the face well and gently and not drying it out. The balm, based on honey and propolis wax to restore chapped lips, is very pleasant to use, easily applied and absorbed and prevents dryness. Both products come in scents that can be snorted endlessly, somewhat sweet, delicate and special.
Price:75 NIS per product

Not just chocolate
Max Brenner enters the protein bar market for the first time, launching a real chocolate bar with walnut cream covered in white chocolate, enriched with 21 grams of protein, and containing sugar, not its substitutes. It's the first flavor in the series, and it also features dark chocolate and crunchy soy chips. For the first time, we're tasting a protein bar that doesn't have the aftertaste of most protein bars, and even those who frequently eat protein bars as part of their daily workouts loved it exceptionally. It's a delicious, satisfying chocolate bar for all intents and purposes—with 275 calories for a 60-gram bar—not far from the number of calories for a regular protein bar. If you don't have a problem with sugar, this bar is the perfect solution.
Price:15 NIS, available at Shufersal

Fragrant hair
Two new dry shampoos for the Baptiste brand - floral and fresh - join the existing line of scents. The floral fragrance includes touches of melon, and the fresh - citrus. We especially liked the freshy citrus smell, and the melony scent would suit those who like sweeter. According to the company, the shampoo gently absorbs oil from the hair and neutralizes bad odors and cooking odors. We tried it after a few days without shampooing, and it improved the look of hair and reduced oiliness - but we had to brush and massage the scalp over and over again to completely remove the white powder.
Price:30 NIS, available at Super-Pharm
