DESERT ISLAND: BEAUTY ESSENTIALS

Hey guys, i hope you are all having an amazing day whatever you are up to and happy march! I am so excited that spring is on it's way and fingers crossed it brings some warmer weather with it, as i am getting fed up of this cold now. Talking of warmer weather, when faced with the challenge of only choosing a handful or so beauty items you could take with you onto a dessert island, what do you choose? Do you go down the oh so practical route such as mosquito sprays and anti-histamines? or do you go down the sun kissed glow goddess route? or even a mixture of both? It is such a hard decision to make when usually when taking a vacation or trip, you can just throw it all in one massive bag. Saying that after thinking about it carefully i put together a mixture of essential items that i would take with me, which has a mixture of practical and some holy grail items...

1. Garnier Ambre Solaire Dry Mist SPF 50 -

I put this at the top of the list as it is probably the most practical product in the mix, seeing as it is a desert island it is probably going to be incredibly hot and very sunny. You should always protect your skin from the sun by wearing a SPF a) so you don't burn and b) will help protect your skin from getting sun damage, which can be very harmful! 

2. John Frieda Frizz-Ease Miraculous Recovery Intense Masque -
Humidity and my hair will forever be enemies, if i step out in heat for a second without using some sort of frizz-ease product to prevent me from looking like Simba from The Lion King. This Intense Masque from the range is definitely one of my favourites to help keep that frizz at bay.

3. Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue in Cool -
This is hands down my favourite lip balm at the moment, it is super hydrating which you would need for your lips in such weather and it also adds a really pretty shine. So in my opinion that covers both the practical and non practical sides in one!

4. Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer in Light -
Another amazing holy grail product for me by Maybelline ,this is my favourite concealer ever it's super brightening under the eyes and is very long lasting without creasing. One of the amazing things about this concealer is that it's a really good coverage without being a thick consistency.

5. Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara in Extreme Black -
For me if i had to choose out of eyeshadow and mascara, mascara would win by a mile. Mascara just completely changes the way any makeup look appears and i would feel/look naked without it. In a more practical sense you would probably want to adapt to a waterproof version.

6. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle -
This product is just one of those i couldn't possibly leave behind because i love it too much. I own a wide range of highlighting powders but none of them make the cut like this one does, it's just stunning and would look even more amazing with a killer tan.

7. Extras -
If even after all of those products you could sneak in a few more obvious essentials i would go for it and take items such as, shower gel, razor, shampoo and a good body moisturizer.

I would love to know if you have ever really sat down and thought what items you would take with you onto a "desert island"?
