For dry hair Nutri-Thermique by Kerastase is a new addition to the company’s products, targeted at women with very dry hair. Kerastase Paris’s patented technological breakthrough promises to infuse and help preserve the hydrating components in the hair. To get the best results they recommend washing the hair with hot water. There are three products in the new home line: shampoo, Bain Nutri (NIS 117 for 250 ml.), conditioner Fondant Nutri (NIS 148 for 200 ml.) and Masque Nutri Thermique, intensive mask (NIS 250 for 500 ml).
Our tester said: “I wash my hair every other day and my hair is very hard to style. Using the Nutri-Thermique line it felt as if the products really did help in softening the hair and making it a little bit easier to handle. I feel that it is the perfect addition to my arsenal. The scent has Kerastase’s signature freshness.”
Get it at: licensed hair salons. For more info call 1-800-310-666.
Green cleaning Ariel – concentrated liquid gel is recommended for removing stains from gentle laundry because it is as efficient in cold and lukewarm water as in hot water. Now the concentrated version, which is more ecological, is also sold in 4.5-liter packaging, meaning even more savings. There is a measuring cup that can be used in the washing machine, ensuring use of every drop. The cup will be attached to all products starting this winter. If you wish to get the cup, call 1800- 666-775.
Our tester said: “I like Ariel because it makes me feel that the laundry is cleaner.Using the gel leaves no residue in the machine. The large bottle is very heavy, but it does save money and trips to the supermarket.”
Get it at: All major supermarkets (NIS 65.99).
Younger looking eyes Estée Lauder New Advanced Night Repair Eye Synchronized Complex is a new serum-gel, that promises to reduce the appearance of every key sign of aging around the eye area, including fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles, dryness and uneven skin tone. Because skin around eyes is very thin, it’s more vulnerable to environmental damage. It is also where the signs of aging are usually the most exaggerated. Lauder’s patented Chronolux Technology promises to help skin optimize its natural repair processes to reduce the signs of aging.
Our tester said: “What I love about Repair Eye is that it’s very sheer and my under-eye skin absorbs it quickly without leaving a residue. The Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye is also super soothing and hydrating to undereye skin.”
Get it at: Estée Lauder counters at Super Pharm, New Pharm, Hamashbir Latzarchan, April and other pharmacies. (NIS 310 for 15 ml.).
In the spirit Label 5 scotch whisky is a relatively new brand of scotch, first introduced in 1969, Label 5 is one of the best-selling scotch brands. The classic Label 5 is a blended scotch that is aged five years and is considered good value (NIS 59.90). There are also 12-year Label 5 and 18-year Premium, both excellent scotches. The brand is now imported by Binyamina Spirits.
Our tester said: “It is a good scotch: smooth, easy to drink and with a smoked fruit aroma. A very nice addition to my cabinet.” Get it at: James Richardson duty-free (12 years NIS 317 for 700 ml., 18 years NIS 663 for 700 ml.).
