Well it’s that time of year again when we look back over the last twelve months and review what was good, what was bad, and what we will be doing again next year.
We are so lucky at La Luminata, as we are plugged into the main sources of info, get invited to amazing events, get to hear of and try out cool new clothing labels and sample some of the best new skincare and make up products out there. So, we would be doing you a mis-service if we didn’t report back on the best products and brands of 2009.
This is also a toughie as we tried out so many great lotions this year…However, for universal appeal and sheer gorgeousness we have settled on John Masters Vanilla & Blood Orange Body Milk.

We have been trying out the new John Master’s Blood Orange & Vanilla body milk over the last wintery month. Much to our delight, this product is a big thumbs up…containing milk thistle, aloe vera and essential oils of blood orange and vanilla, the invigorating fragrance will wake up even the sleepiest of you in the morning!

This eco brand should be top of any ‘green’ beauty fan’s list. The packing is green (of course) and looks unfussy enough to be expensive. The cream smells fresh and feels light, and almost frothy. It did take a while to absorb into the skin, feeling slightly greasy at first but after a couple of minutes it made my skin smooth and glowing, without any residue. At the end of the day my skin felt softer still - this is one hardworking body cream.
