By NERIA BARRCosmetics (photo credit: PR)Green fingers The Chic nail polish brand has launched a line of ecological water-based nail polishes that contain no acetone or synthetic ingredients. Enriched with natural pigments, the “green” line includes 23 shades, in which chemicals are replaced with water. The odorless formula contains mineral pigments such as Bentonite, a mineral that becomes gel-like when it comes in contact with water. For a shiny result, Chic suggests using the Top & Base from the same line.NIS 15. Available at pharmacies and perfumeries.Cosmetic cover-up Bobbi Brown’s new Instant Full Cover Concealer covers dark circles in one step. The concealer, which is highly concentrated and rich in pigments, lightens circles under the eyes and softens tired lines in an instant. With 12-hour wear, this concealer doesn’t smooth on like other products, so you need to prep the area, using a hydrating eye cream. Then, using the tip of the applicator, dot the concealer under the eye and blend (a little goes a long way for a well-rested look). Thanks to the new Triple Matrix technology, the concealer covers dark circles completely, yet is lightweight and creates a smooth, wrinkle- free look that doesn’t require setting powder. Use also as a touch-up on other areas of the face. With 15 shades to choose from, you can find one that matches your skin tone perfectly.NIS 175.Blend it like Beckham Victoria Beckham has launched her second limited-edition makeup collection in conjunction with Estée Lauder.

The company claims that the serum can repair damage and treat the skin while making it firmer, thanks to a high concentration of peptides which promote collagen, as well as argireline, a synthetic anti-wrinkle peptide that is a substrate of Botulinum toxin, which works very much like Botox, rendering a tightening effect.NIS 245.
