Moving on the run
New Laconi running shoes, Triumph 21, for neutral foot. The company prides itself on premium foam upholstery on the sole of the shoe, and without a doubt the new technology has a very pleasant feeling during the feeling of running, even over time. The shoe is relatively tall and the steps feel soft with shock absorbing even during long runs. The drop of the shoe is 10 mm (the height difference between the back and front) and the weight is 279 grams in the men's models, a shoe that is considered relatively light. The shoe is not too narrow, which allows for the right fit for many runners. The models come in a variety of styles – from smooth black to glowing yellow, as well as different color combinations.

Cease dandruff
Head & Shoulders is launching a therapeutic series, DERMAXPRO, which includes a shampoo and conditioner to treat dry scalp, dandruff and scalp renewal, and a balm that rejuvenates scalp skin and traps moisture for up to 72 hours, according to the company. The formula smells pleasant, and daily use for two weeks stopped the itching so familiar to those suffering from dandruff, and prevented dandruff from falling out on clothes during the day. The scalp did feel more hydrated and less dry, and the hair remained soft and pleasant.
Price:30 NIS per product

Sweet Apple
DKNY adds another perfume to Be Delicious's line of familiar apple design fragrances. Orchard St for Women comes with a floral fruity scent, including Red Grapefruit, Pink Lady Apple and Pink Pepper as top notes, Jasmine Sambac, Blackberry and Pomegranate in middle and base notes of leather, cedarwood, amber and more. The smell is sweet, honeyy and golden, and the resemblance to DKNY's original apple is evident. However, the perfume is more durable and smells stronger. Fans of sweet smells will probably relate to it very much.
Price:349 NIS per 100 ml

Hair smell
SACARA comes out with two new series in the numbered line - scented and nourishing keratin serum for hair and body creams, both with 5 types of fragrances. What is special about these serums is that they are alcohol-free, while most hair perfume sprays usually have alcohol as a first ingredient and tend to dry out the hair. We especially liked the delicate floral-fruity-floral scents of the numbers 5 and 7, while the woody 8 was more unisex to us, 10 vanilla and 2 muskeys.
The serum is slightly oily and therefore suitable for dry ends, but we did not notice a significant change or improvement in hair following use, so we treated it more as a hair perfume (which does not dry it out) than as a restorative serum. After a few minutes, when the strong smell assimilates into the hair, it subtles and remains on it for about 6-7 hours. Even the creams have a delicate scent that matches the serum numbers, and for those who like a "set" of scents - now you can use perfume, serum and body lotion with the same scent.
Price:Serum - 30 NIS per 50 ml, body lotion - 15 NIS per 200 ml

Stamping for the back
Eyebrow artist Shir Nakash launches brow stamps in shades ranging from blonde to very dark brown, with a richly pigmented formula with a silky texture. Choose an eyebrow stencil in the desired shape, glue to the eyebrow area and fill with the stamp. The main difficulty was with the stencil – you have to adjust the type of eyebrows to the face and it's not that simple. The stencil we tried didn't match our eyebrows that popped up above or below the stamping, and the stamp that created a permanent color throughout didn't look natural enough. However, when we tried to dip a thin eyebrow brush in the color of the stamp and use it as eyebrow silhouette, we were able to create a beautiful, full eyebrow without the stencil by drawing "hairs".
Price: 119 NIS, available online in April and on the Onalize website

What nature does
Natural cosmetics company BOTANY adds 3 products to its line, based on natural and organic extracts and ingredients, including fragrances of natural origin. Hand cream, foot cream and body butter, containing aloe, shea and jojoba to soften and nourish. The texture of the creams feels pleasant on the skin and without a sticky feeling, the body butter has a light texture that absorbs quickly, and the skin was soft and pleasant after use. The smell is a bit pungent and a bit reminded us of a pharmacy, however the experience was positive and pleasant.
Price range:24-53 NIS
