I split my time between Tel Aviv and New York City, so I've become very familiar with Israeli beauty products, and they're some of the best I've tried. While many brands use their Israeli heritage as part of their marketing strategy — like Ahava which is known for Dead Sea mineral-rich skincare — many other popular brands show no obvious signs. It's a if you know, you know type situation.
New Year's Eve is one of those occasions synonymous with glitter and all things sparkly. Whether it's in your makeup, hair, inside your home or on your nails, sparkle is practically mandatory over this holiday. Even a glass of champagne or sparkling wine looks...well, sparkly.
One of the no-skipping steps when it comes to at-home manicure or pedicure is a top coat. The final polish layer on lacquered nails, the purpose of the top coat is to ensure that the color underneath is sealed and, if the product is good, it will give the color and nails that lasting sheen we so often associate with salon-done nails. There is more to the top coat that the gloss, though; having sealed the color, it prevents premature chipping, fading and peeling. In other words, it allows us to wear our chosen nail polish for longer than one or two days, while keeping it looking fresh thus extending its wear.
Aside from being one of the biggest beauty trends for 2023, lustrous, healthy looking brows that are on the thicker side are, simply put, better looking than the infamous '90s single line-type shape. And they do more to frame our eyes and face, overall, so no wonder more and more brow products keep popping up. However, since this is the 21st century, when we are no longer satisfied with simply and only drawing them on and up on the daily, the stores are filled with brow growth and enhancement serums, and beauty salons offer a variety of services catering to the desire for full, natural-looking brow.
