Don’t be surprised at the check-in desk, don’t spend too much time in the kitchen, look for tropical scents and happy shades and don’t for get to hydrate – this week is all about sailing smoothly through the sizzling days of the season. Have fun!
Smart travel
Rollink, the Israeli maker of suitcases that launched a trolley with a built-in phone charger last year, is again launching an innovative solution so needed in today’s travel world – a suitcase that has a scale built into the handle.
When traveling by air, one has to be careful not to have excess weight, because the airlines are precise about size and weight of luggage. You don’t want to be surprised and have to pay (a lot) at the check-in desk only because you didn’t weigh your suitcase.
With the new Soho suitcase, there will be no surprises – even if you got carried-away shopping during your vacation. Soho is offered in two sizes – large (27 inches, NIS 495) and huge (31 inches, NIS 555). Each suitcase has four quiet wheels for easy maneuvering, a telescopic strong easy-grip handle, water-tight closure and an international world-standard lock.
The suitcases come with a 10-year warranty and are offered in fve colorful shades. Available at Keter shops and online at www.rollink.com
Tropical dreams
Jo Malone London, our very favorite scent maker, has added a new summer scent that is inspired by the rich colors and textures of Brazil. Brilliant Blossom Cologne is a fruity, floral scent that brings out the happy side of summer and is just perfect for this season. Like all of the house’s scents, this one, too, is unisex. Love it, although it doesn’t come cheap.
NIS 560 for 100 ml.; NIS 280 for 30 ml. Available in Jo Malone London stores in Ramat Aviv Mall, Mamila Mall and TLV Fashion mall.
Prolonged hydration
In time for our hot and humid summer, Clinique added a new hydration cream to its iconic “Moisture Surge” line – the “Moisture Surge 72-hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator” – a rich hydrating cream with a light gel-like texture.
New auto-replenishing technology with activated aloe water actually helps skin create its own internal water source to continually rehydrate itself. It then locks in all that moisture for an endlessly plump, dewy, healthy-looking glow.
Bursting with hyaluronic acid, the company says that testing proves that it works nonstop for up to 72 hours – even after washing your face.
Use on clean face twice daily. Can also be used for touch ups over makeup and on extra-dry spots such as elbows and fingernails. NIS 80 for 30 ml and NIS 120 for 50 ml. Available at pharm stores as well as online www.clinique.co.il.
Glam summer
Bobbi Brown Cosmetics has launched a new makeup collection, Dreaming of Capri, that’s glam enough to make you feel like you belong on a yacht.
The Dreaming of Capri collection features an eye-shadow palette (NIS 300), two liquid eyeliners (NIS 170), an illuminating moisturizer (NIS 250), and a nail polish (NIS 70). The palette includes 12 island-inspired shades, including 11 neutral, golden-brown shades.
To go with the shimmering shades, Bobbi Brown created an illuminating moisturizer to bring radiance to the entire face. The moisturizer uses squalane, which intensely hydrates skin and provides anti-aging benefts. It can also be used on the cheekbones as a golden highlighter. There are also two dual-ended liquid eyeliners that have a different color on each end and a crimson-red nail polish. The collection is available at Bobbi Brown stores.

Clean and clear
Clear off dirt and purify the skin with Bioderma’s new Sebium Gel Moussant, a new item in the company’s cleaning line for mixed and oily skin that purifes the skin using a biological patent. The mousse is suitable for both adolescents and grown-ups suffering from clogged pores and acne. It gently cleans the skin, reduces the sebum’s secretion and does not clog the pores. Sebium Gel Moussant does not include soap, parabens or colorants and can be used also as a shaving foam for adolescents. Use twice a day. NIS 85. Available in Super Pharm stores.
Bamboo and coal
Magiray Cosmetics has decided to combine the new coal trend with another cosmetic trend – the facial cloth masks, in their new Detox mask. In cosmetics, detox means a deep cleanse of the facial skin cells using powerful herbal ingredients. In this mask, bamboo and coal are used to intensify the removal of toxins. The cloth mask made from bamboo and coal not only drains toxins lymphatically, but also treats over-sensitivity and puffness while invigorating blood flow. This may cause a slight tingling sensation while the mask is applied to the face. Use on clean skin, leave for 15 to 20 minutes and wash off. NIS 30 for 1 mask, available only at licensed beauticians.

This innovative mask is the latest in Gigi’s Second Skin line of Nutri-Peptide products, and includes active coal, proved for its refreshing qualities. The mask absorbs and clears toxins, invigorates blood flow, reduces the size of pores and removes dead skin-cells, and adds freshness to skin appearance.
For women: use in the evening to refresh dull tired-looking skin, peel off and clean skin before applying your night cream. For men: use after shaving to relax skin and avoid in-growth. NIS 169, available at licensed beauticians, (03) 925-8888 and online at www.gigi.co.il
