On a trip last week I lost my DiorShow mascara, somewhere between the Jubilee line and La Rambla. Devastated? You bet.

I can happily do without lipstick, eyeliner and if pushed, blusher or concealer. But no mascara? My lashes had never felt so bare (nor my eyes so teeny tiny!).

Mascara is my desert island essential beauty product – the one item I can't live without. For the Femme Fatale it's under eye concealer, while another of my friends can't do without her cream blush.

What's your beauty desert island essential? If you could only have one product for the rest of your beauty days which would it be?

It's a tough choice, but do tell...
