By NERIA BARRVolumazing Mascara by Revlon(photo credit: Courtesy)Concentrate on the eyesRevlon launched “Volumazing Mascara,” which adds volume and creates perfect thick and long lashes. The new “Ultra-Ceramic” formula, based on olive oil and three different waxes, provides maximal thickness, rich pigment and buildable volume, with no smudges and lumps, and is long-wear as well, promising up to 24 hours. The rounded applicator helps easy application and professional results. NIS 69.90.Simply irresistibleGuerlain Terracotta Sahara Jewel Sun Light duo bronzing powder is not really something that one needs – but it is oh, so much fun to have. The iconic luxurious line can be topped only by actually going on a luxurious tropical vacation in the middle of the winter.To start with, the Terracotta powder’s fragrance includes ylang-ylang and orange blossom notes that blend with notes of tonka bean and vanilla and a touch of white musk that make it irresistible. The new formula has been reinterpreted in colorful and soft shades, retaining the essential elements of the legendary terracotta bronzing powder: a buildable golden glow, thanks to a comfortable, ultrafine texture that naturally warms the complexion all day long; a unique blend of pigments to banish dullness and create a sun-kissed glow; a formula that does not dry out skin and that provides it with lasting comfort.To subtly warm your complexion, apply the two shades separately: the bronzing shade, then the blush on your cheekbones, or use the Guerlain secret, the “figure of 3”: blend the two shades in a circular motion and apply the powder from the forehead to the cheekbones and down to the chin to recreate a freshly sun-kissed glow. NIS 306. I know, luxury does not come cheap.Pretty in pinkVichy extended its mature-age line, adding Neovadiol Rose Platinum facial cream for women over 65. The rosy color of the cream immediately refreshes the skin’s appearance, while, according to the company, after one month the skin actually looks more glowing, firmer and more supple. The new formula contains beeswax, calcium and glycerin, which help create a finer texture, as well as thermal water from Vichy’s own springs that help relax the skin and strengthen it.

Smashbox’s makeup artists suggest using one of the shades as a highlighter, or mixing a shadow with primer for an extra-long-wear makeup. NIS 129.The go-to heroIt is always interesting to learn about a new cosmetic company that does things differently. Available exclusively at Kisu boutique in Tel Aviv, the products by Dr. Barbara Sturm molecular cosmetics are such a discovery. To be more precise – Sturm’s new Hyaluronic Ampoules. This active concentrate is a go-to hero product from Hollywood to Moscow and is a lifesaver for dehydrated skin types.Use as an SOS treatment for a week before an important event, or as an intensive treatment for occasional applications when traveling, before or after an evening out, and after sun or wind exposure.Highly concentrated hyaluronic acid, made up of a combination of long- and short-chain hyaluronic molecules, interacts with other active ingredients deep within the skin’s cells to act as a booster against wrinkles and imperfections. Long-chain hyaluronic acid provides immediate intensive hydration of the surface layers of the skin, while the short-chain molecules replenish the skin’s moisture reservoirs in the deeper layers.

Until the end of January.Pretty great storageThe strong winds reminded everyone with a garden or a balcony how important it is to keep everything stored away safely. Keter suggests paying attention to your outside area during the winter and not only when spring comes. The designed plastic furniture, which doubles as storage, withstands any weather and will look great when it is time to sit in the sun again. We liked especially the Eden storage bench, which sits up to three grownups comfortably and can be used as a lockable 265-liter storage box for pillows and garden equipment. NIS 550.
