So its now my turn to be stranded on a desert island, how rude!
I of
course brought my husband and little boy (I didn't read any small print
about not being allowed guests).
Trying to take just 12 items was difficult and I did have a moment
where the idea of cello-taping products together and putting them into
some box system thus making them count as 1 item seemed a genius way
forward.
Luckily my boy and
husband bought the brushes, hair/body care and perfume etc so that I
could concentrate on skincare and makeup......
For skincare I would choose, Pai Camellia &
Rose Hydrating Cleanser and Chamomile & Rosehip Sensitive Skin Cream. I
think these are now my most re-bought skincare items, the range is just
superior for being effective and not causing irritation/acne.
For eye cream I would go with Omorovicza Gold Eye Lift cream, I
am going to be buying my second one very soon, as its the best eye cream I have found to hydrate and
reduce lines and puffiness.
Onto makeup; my eyeshadow needs would be covered by two Rouge Bunny
Rouge palettes; you just can't fault the creamy,buttery texture and great
pigment.
Swatched L-R: Unforgettable Oriole, Bohemian Waxwing*, Umber
Firefinch, Delicate Hummingbird,Snowy Egret and Eclipse Eagle.
Blusher would have to be a nude, wear with anything, shade and then a
brightening peachy/pink shade, so my picks are
Rouge Bunny Rouge Delicata and By Terry Torrid Peach.
For mascara, one of my favourites is By Terry Terrybly mascara as it
lengthens, gives lift and does not clump.
I found lipstick to be the most tricky, so have gone with the two shades
I am using most at the moment, for my pink nude I'd go for Burberry
Field Rose lip mist and for my peachy tone By Terry Rouge Terrybly Love
Me Tender.
Swatched L-R:
Love
Me Tender, Field Rose, Delicata and Torrid Peach.
In terms of base it has to be Omorovicza Complexion Perfector BB SPF 20,
I'm on my third bottle, this is simply the best base product I have ever
used.
I have not found the
perfect under eye concealer yet for coverage so I'll pick Burberry Beauty Sheer Concealer
as that is the one I am currently using.
(*I bought all these myself apart from the refill of Bohemian Waxwing)
So there we have it, it was rather fortuitous that just a few weeks
later my husband was able to craft a boat out of trees and coconuts
and we were able to return home (I mean how was I going to survive with
just two lipsticks...really....)
Nice choices! I love Pai too - it never upsets my skin.
ReplyDeleteThanks,yep I feel very trusting of Pai for my easily upset skin :) x
DeleteAmazing choices. It's lovely that the Omorovicza BB is working so well for you. I am SO glad that I suggested it to you!
ReplyDeleteI am interested in trying the Gold Eye Cream from Omorovicza and also the new CC Cream.

Hi Danny,
DeleteWell you do always have great recs :) I really think you should give the eye cream a try xx
Lovely picks! I think I would struggle with two lip products as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Meeta, yes I could probably manage with just two for a week but any longer would be stretching it :)
DeleteBeautiful choices which is lucky because I wasn't going to forgive your blatant rule bending by letting your child bring forbidden items!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what you mean..stares at Marcia with Bambi eyes... ;)
DeleteWhat amazing choices!!! You are taunting me with Pai and Omorvicza! I must try both lines! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Lola, I think you would find some solid staples with Pai and a bit of indulgence with Omorvicza xx
DeleteYes! The BB is perfection. I still absolutely adore mine, only got a couple of wears left in my bottle though so sad I'm saving them (for what I have absolutely no clue!!!)
ReplyDeleteIt is sad when you get to the end, I tried to scrap out anything possible, shame its not just a bit cheaper ;)
DeleteI totally want to try the Omorovicza Gold Eye Cream! Always a good idea to switch things up in your skincare routine every couple of months. I like a truly hydrating eye cream.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a lovely eye cream, a novelty to find one that actually does something :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, your husband is very clever Replica. I hope it he didn't use any of your brushes in the raft building exercise?! :D

perish the thought..huddles brushes close... ;)
