LaLuminata Beauty Heros - Best Body Lotion of 2009

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

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.

John Masters Blood Orange & Vanilla Body Milk

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

logo 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!john_masters_body_milk

Luckily the body milk is super fast to absorb and therefore makes the transition from shower, to moisturiser, to clothes that much quicker and easier. Leaving the skin soft and smooth, this would make a perfect christmas present for almost anyone. It should be noted that my boyfriend helped himself to this on a regular basis (and he is ultra fussy about using my products) and could be found wafting around the house smelling rather wonderful, which means that this is a great buy for women AND men out there!

Elleuk.com Reviews Màdara Nourishing Body Cream

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Just because your summer clothes have been packed away, it doesn’t mean you should let your body beauty regime slide. It is just as important to apply moisturiser in the winter months; central heating, hot baths and cold weather cause your skin to dry-out, flake and itch. But which products work? Here ten ELLE staffers bravely put body butters, lotions, oils and creams to the test…

Best for: eco fans

nourishing-cream_beauty_az_smallThis 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.
