Have An Exceptionally Thankful 2015 Christmas!

On this beautiful day of the season and the joyous time of the year, may we wish you a very Merry Merry Christmas and a Happy Happy New Year! We would love to take this opportunity to thank all the brands who have supported LUMINNEJ this year, the new found friends whom we have met or made along the way, you, yes you, out there who have been dropping by, reading, writing, sharing your thoughts and words of kind encouragement, most of all, your willingness to invest your precious TIME here with us, as we grow, another year. 

For without you, this journey would have been less colourful, less fun and most of all, less meaningful and a little lonely. We THANK YOU and we wish you the best of everything in your life, for the coming new year of 2016, from the very bottom of our heart. Enjoy this day with this song picked out especially for you, lovelies *_^

With love, 

Jeann

Holiday Series 2015 | Jo Malone Christmas Mischief

The world of Jo Malone London is new to us and this British brand came to us at the right timing. Perhaps it was a little mischief at work or maybe it was just a little sprinkle of magic. Whichever it may be, it is definitely looking like a #HappyKissmas to us this year with Jo Malone London (here for more).

This Christmas, Jo Malone London is celebrating this special occasion with a party atmosphere. We absolutely adore their advertising campaign, that entire 1950s vibe when men would suit up in sharp looking suits and women would pay extra attention to their feminine side and would truly dress up in pretty dresses, looking incredibly sensual and pretty for that special occasion - glamorous and fabulous in the most beautiful way. 

We had the pleasure to be invited to the brand's Suria KLCC boutique opening recently. With their spacious and well designed boutique, how could we not swoon over this new brightly lit store upon our arrival? It was as if we had stepped into an imaginative space transcended by time, simply because of the culmination and fusion of wondrous scents within the new store that brought us into that world of bespoke luxury, timeless and elegant, but always infused with a charming dash of wit and whimsy. Little did we know that we were about to experience one of our most memorable events of the year, truly.

Holiday Series 2015 | L'Occitane x Pierre Hermé

A marriage of style and substance, a perfect union of the world of scent and the universe of taste, this is of course, like no other, indeed. We are, totally mesmerized by this unique collaboration between the founder of L'Occitane, Olivier Baussan and the "Picasso of Pastry", nicknamed by Vogue magazine, the pastry chef Pierre Hermé and close friend of Olivier for 20 years. 

The result of this close working relationship is one festive Christmas collection that ignites the senses, a line of cosmetics with delicate perfumes, as delicate as the balance of love for plants on one hand, and the tastes of an epicurean on the other. It is the tribute to the Corsican and Mediterranean landscapes, which both these talented artisans and creators love so much. We had the privilege to experience and savour such wondrous moments and sample some of the scents, while enjoying a perfect luncheon courtesy of L'Occitane and Melvita Malaysia previously. Come and discover what L'Occitane has to offer this gifting time of the year, and for a limited time only. Hurry! 

Holiday Series 2015 | Innisfree, A Green Christmas

This holiday season and Christmas celebration, the natural Jeju Korean skincare and makeup brand, INNISFREE brings us gift ideas that are in line with the spirit of "Make. Enjoy. Share", one that could most definitely make anyone smile in delight and joy. We were pleased that our favourite Korean brand actually hand-delivered some of the limited-edition gift sets right into our hands not too long ago, and here we are, to share the love with you and in hope that, it will give you some ideas what to get for your loved ones, or even yourself, for that matter! Why not, just for that special occasion and to reward yourself with the hard work that you have put in all year long. Let's have a Merry Green Christmas, shall we?

Holiday Series 2015 | Melvita Christmas Novelties, Naturally

Merry Christmas from nature! That is this season's holiday greetings from this organic French skincare and beauty brand, Melvita. We have been enjoying some naturally derived and made skincare products from Melvita this year and we have come to enjoy and love them partly because they are organic, or ingredients sourced from organic farming. We had the pleasure to be invited to a luncheon (which we revealed a little here) and were let into what are hitting the Melvita and L'Occitane stores in Malaysia for this festive giving season, just around the corner. It was a beautifully crafted event and a pleasantly joyful occasion. Let's take a look at some of the offerings, shall we?

Holiday Series 2015 | M.A.C Magic Of The Night 2015 Jazzes Up Your Festive Looks

Are you ready to have some fun with your up-coming holiday season's makeup looks? Well, you can get ready for an enchanted evening that is filled with non-stop glitz and glam, depends on your mood for the night or evening out as this season. This holiday season, M.A.C Cosmetics with its Magic of The Night collections are already here to offer you some cool shades and palettes, with eyes in deep smokey hues and lips that are bold enough to set you on fire. There are so many beautifully packaged sets to choose from and all of them look equally enticing. We shall do a quick share with you some of the products we have from the collection, all thanks to M.A.C Malaysia.

Apparently, the highlights of the Magic of The Night collection, according to bloggers local and abroad are actually the In Extra Dimension Skinfinish (the Oh Darling highlighter and Shaft of Gold bronzer, here for more). They did look super gorgeous that night when we attended the launch of this collection at KLCC previously. They had such rave reviews after the launch on the internet and youtube. The other ones that were equally eye-catching to the media and bloggers are the Colourdrenched Pigments (here) for the eyes, in pearlized, creamy hues, which comes in 5 shades, shown here. The holiday season collection from M.A.C is one that is along the colour palette of teal, blue, deep purple and all the jewel tones with cool shades.
