People love to say shopping is superficial. Easy for them. They probably never put on mascara on a day when nothing else was working, and saw the magic. No one really goes out to buy a shirt – they buy a sense of control, a small moment of comfort. Something new on the body to make us feel a little less dimmed inside. Blush is superficial? It’s health. Going out of the house as someone else is superficial? It’s survival. Living in a fantasy is superficial? It’s essential. Or just to feel like we still have a choice in a world that keeps shrinking us.
Sure, it’s transparent. Of course everyone wants us to buy. So what – but there’s only one question really worth asking: Does it work? And the answer is: “Yes, like a breakthrough therapy session.”
Revitalift Laser – Triple Peptides Serum
L’Oréal Paris is launching a new anti-aging serum that promises to organize the fight against wrinkles: Triple Peptides Serum from the Revitalift Laser line combines three powerful peptides that work in synergy to smooth the skin, strengthen its structure, and improve collagen production. Alongside them, you'll find hyaluronic acid for intense hydration and vitamin C to brighten and even the skin tone. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly – the kind that won’t burden even a tight morning routine.
Already from the first week of use, reports show firmer, more radiant, and less wrinkled skin.If your skin feels like a tired sweater – it's time to restore its elasticity. And preferably with a trio of peptides, not a trio of jokers on Instagram.
Regular price: NIS 110
Special May price: NIS 84.90 (for 30 ml)
Available at Super-Pharm, New-Pharm, selected cosmetic stores, and the brand’s and major retailers’ online shops.

A new lip oil from L’Oréal Paris that promises to turn your lips into the showstopper of any summer party – with shine, volume, and a touch of luxury.

The texture is lightweight and non-sticky, the shine is subtle yet noticeable, and the brush? A soft caressing applicator that gets you better than your last partner. Six summery shades await you for a day of color and a night of flirting. It might be oil, but the feel is totally lip butter in heels.

Never Forget by Eliana Wiesel (credit: Yahav Terodler)
Never Forget Necklace
Jewelry designer Eliana Wiesel unveils a unique creation that carries a message of remembrance and commitment – a white gold necklace with yellow diamonds, handmade and in a one-time edition.
The necklace is inspired by the yellow symbol as a sign of solidarity with the families of the hostages, and includes a delicate engraving of the words “Never forget” – a touching reminder that not everything should be taken for granted.
All proceeds from the auction will go entirely to the Hostage Families Headquarters. This is an initiative that connects elite design with mutual responsibility – because sometimes, a small piece of jewelry can carry a weight far greater than gold.
Starting price: NIS 5,000
Where: Novorish Dog store
Bids accepted until May 31, 2025
