The color that remains
Revlon comes out with a new line of lipsticks in 12 shades for ColorStay, Suede Inc., that provide matte-finished coverage with smooth application primer molecules and Vitamin E, as well as a guarantee of 8-hour durability without smudging and smearing. As a procedure, 8 durable hours will only happen if you eat nothing during it, and since we eat about every hour - it was a bit difficult for us to verify.
Apart from that, these are beautiful, deep shades with smooth matte that apply easily. The lipstick is slightly drier than moisturizing lipsticks, which of course affects the durability - even after a meal, a shade remains on the lips, unlike other lipsticks that disappear completely. And if for that purpose it is slightly less humid (but still pleasant) - that's perfectly fine with us.

Celebrate the Rose
A new perfume for the Chloé brand – Lumins, which celebrates the rose "golden from sunrays", warm and delicate, sensual yet elegant. The fragrance features jasmine and vanilla, and includes only natural sources of fragrance, alcohol and water. The first impression of the fragrance is strong and slightly alcoholic, but after waiting a few minutes the smell moderates and refers. The noticeable notes are jasmine, roses, vanilla and citrus, and the smell is young, refreshing, floral and feminine, one that manages to be elegant and warm without weighing down the sweetness. Both theses managed to stay on us for an entire day without needing reinforcement.

Also a snack, also healthy
A new line of protein bars under Strauss's PRO brand offers new flavors: caramel with milk chocolate and hazelnut flavored frosting, cocoa cookies and white chocolate flavored frosting, and a Tricold flavored protein bar. Protein values in bars range from 17 to 27 grams of protein for bars weighing 90-60 grams. Opinions were a bit divided about the taste – most thought it was a tasty snack and not too sweet, and liked the variety of textures in it. Some thought it still had the aftertaste characteristic of protein bars, albeit in lesser amounts. Our favorite was the white chocolate coating, which in its larger version contains two bars in the same package.
Price:18 NIS per 90g bar

Warm in winter
Just for winter, Canadian brand Asobu launched a series of black/white or wood-finished thermal mugs. The cups are made of stainless steel and have a handle and ceramic coating on the inside, with a lid made of modular tritan. The handle contributes to the comfort of the grip, although at first it was a little strange to walk around the street holding a cup with a handle. The huge 600ml cup easily holds two cups of coffee inside and easily fits in the cupholder in the car. The heat was retained superbly for long hours, and at first we even had to leave the opening in the lid open so that the coffee could cool down a bit.
Price: 119 NIS per 360 ml, 149 NIS per 600 ml. Available online Gentleman

Hello to dryness
A nourishing line for dry to very dry skin from Skin Doctor, Deep Hydration, which includes a therapeutic body lotion, body butter and night moisturizing mask, all odor-free. The products contain oils that moisturize the skin, and ingredients that protect it and help strengthen its protective barrier.
We used creams on dry skin with dandruff on the elbows and feet. With the use of body lotion, within 3 days the dandruff that had slid into the arm disappeared. We applied the body butter to the feet – you have to wait a few minutes for absorption, and the skin of the feet feels pleasant and not rough. It doesn't soften too much dry skin that needs to be removed, but it does feel pampering. We tried the night mask on the face, as it says, for 8 consecutive nights. The cream is rich, pleasant and easily absorbed, but we have not seen a significant change in terms of skin dryness.
Prices: 150-85 NIS

Skin regenerates
SeboCalm launches a Vitamin C Exfoliating Mask for deep cleansing and skin lightening that restores the appearance of facial skin. It is suitable for mature skin with pigmentation as well as post-acne. The mask contains granules of various sizes that dissolve easily in water, cleanse and remove dead skin cells, which the company says improves the appearance of pores and encourages skin regeneration. It has two vitamin C derivatives, blueberry and citrus extracts, salicylic acid and more, and is also suitable for sensitive skin.
We checked: After use, when the dead cells were removed, the skin did temporarily lighten a little and felt more pleasant, like after using other exfoliating masks, and no dryness or sensitivity was felt. However, we have not seen a fundamental change. For deeper clarification, long-term use will probably be required, which is also accompanied by appropriate clarifying agents.
