I just read a blogpost here, on what beauty products to bring to a deserted island and I wanted to share my own rendition with you.
Two things here go hand in hand and this would be sunscreen (Paula's Choice - Skin Balancing Ultra Sheer SPF 30) and a pair of sunglasses. Obviously, on a deserted island you want to stay protected from the sun. I would probably also bring sunscreen for my body (waterproof, SPF 50) and maybe a little sun hat. You can never be protected enough from the sun.
The next thing I would bring is a moisturiser for dry skin (Lavera - Moisturising Cream), because the salt water and the sun will dry out your skin, and the same goes for your hair, so a nice hair oil (Loreal - Oil Magique) would be essential, as well.
A concealer palette (Catrice - Allround Concealer) would be a nice luxury to have, but is definitely not an absolute must, in my opinion. Tea Tree Oil on the other hand is something I wouldn't want to miss, because you could get so much use out of this one product. Whether you have blemished skin, a dry scalp, an insect bite or a sore throat, this product is a miracle worker.
And last but not least, I would bring a nice little book to keep me company and also to keep me entertained.
What do you think about my choices and what would you bring to a deserted island?

It is time for another wish list. I don't know about you, but I always
have a bunch of products on my mental wish list, and the ones that make
it onto here, are the ones that I can't stop thinking of and really want to
try/ want.
Benefit Gimme Brow 25€
This is a new innovation that I personally haven't seen on the beauty market before: A brow gel with fibres that will give your brows some colour and texture. I recently haven't been filling in my brows and I think this would be great if you already have pretty decent brows, that don't need much filling in, and if you're lazy, like me.
Estee Lauder Double Wear All- Day Glow BB Cream 40€
I love my Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation, but because I am on Roaccutane, this foundation is too dry for me at the moment. I am looking for a BB cream that is light, has good coverage and stays on my face all day long.
I have heard good things about this one, even though I am always a little sceptical when it comes to BB creams, because they tend to slide right of my face after ten minutes of wearing them.
Birkenstock Arizona 40€- 60€
I can't believe this is really happening. I managed to stay strong for so long and now this. I want them. Nay, I need them.
Let's be honest, they look like orthopaedic shoes and the teenager in me is horrified. But the grandma that I really am, or going to be, with my heated blanket and orthopaedic shoes, is loving this.
Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner 25€
I want to get back into wearing winged eyeliner again. I originally gave up on it, because I wasn't very good at it. It took me way too long and I just couldn't find a eyeliner that worked for me. But I have watched many YouTube videos on this little one and I really want to try it. Again, benefit with their new innovations. I have been into make up for quite a few years now, and sometimes I feel like I have seen/ tried it all and when companies come out with something completely different/ new, of course I need to form my own opinion on it.
If you have tried or own any of these products, feel free to let me know your opinion on them.
