Imagine you were stranded on a desert island, what’s one step in your beauty routine, you simply couldn’t do without? We asked nine of our HQ Odd Muse team what their ‘desert island’ go-to beauty product is. AKA a muses’ must-have if they could only pick one beauty product. Take a deeper look into our HQ to get to know some of our teamies and the single beauty must-have they can’t live without. Consider them Odd Muse-approved, from the skincare that brings that summer glow that you’ll find scattered on the desks of our team or the glossy lip product to go with the muses mini, we are sharing all…

For the SPF lovers 

Hannah’s desert island product lies in her love of skincare, the Dermalogica dynamic skin recovery spf50 moisturiser, one she wears religiously every day.

“It leaves my skin feeling so fresh and hydrated while leaving the best dewy glow (which I love on a no makeup day). It is also a bonus and reassuring that it has SPF50 in it, even though the sun hasn't come out for a hot minute... it will always be my go-to!”

Hannah: PR & Communications Executive

The Odd Muse girlies love their SPF. For Mollie, her desert island must–have comes down to her beloved SPF saviour that saves her from prickly heat and nourishes her sensitive skin, the one and only, Green People sunscreen.

“I was told ageing begins at 27 so this year I've been big on preventing sun damage. It's non-greasy or sticky and I can't tell I have it on. It’s saved my sensitive, prickly-heat prone skin.”

Mollie: Design Assistant

Here at Odd Muse HQ, we love a product that is the perfect blend of skincare and makeup. If stranded, Alice would opt for her It Cosmetics your skin but better CC cream for that effortlessly glowy look.

“It gives you a glow from within and adds lots of moisture while also including SPF (factor 50)! What more could a girl want .”

Alice: Junior Buyer & Wholesale Manager

Fresh face must haves

Leona is all about having a glossy lip, for a full face of fresh makeup or those no-makeup days lifted by a lip. Her choice of ‘desert island’ product? Her Vieve Lip Dew in the shade cherry.

“I wear this every day! I wouldn't leave the house without some form of lip product on, fresh face or not. This one is my fave - I love the colour Cherry and will soon be onto purchasing my third bottle!”

Leona: Marketing Manager

A no-makeup, makeup day must-have. Lauren’s go-to is the ByTerry brightening cc serum in the shade, Sunny Flash for that glowy skin finish.

“It gives you the loveliest natural glow and sunkissed skin, perfect for a desert island without the need for sun exposure.”

Lauren: Digital & Marketing Assistant

A makeup must-have here in the Odd Muse HQ is blush, one product Sophie could not be without. Her blush of choice? The Rare Beauty liquid blush of course (in the shade encourages).

“First of all, I'm a huge blush girl, I don't care about the whole 'Blush Blind' trend, more the merrier for me! It is so versatile from blush to eyeshadow to lipstick, I literally would not choose anything else”

Sophie: Content Creation Assistant

For Ruby, it has to be her Beauty Crop cleansing balm that is the step she couldn’t skip out of her beauty routine, even in the desert.

“It makes you feel fresh, and glowy and smells insane, with a scent that also lasts forever!”

Ruby: Operations Assistant

If you're all about brows

This one is no secret, our Founder Aimee raves about this beauty product from her socials all of the time. A must-have for Aimee even in the desert with the choice of a single product? It all comes down to the brows, more specifically her By Ellie Brow Shape.

“This product is the reason I embrace no make-up days most days! And is also the reason I haven’t got my eyebrows done in years, it takes every strand and creates the most beautiful strong brow. Desert island for sure!”

Aimee: Creative Director

Back with the brows, Beth’s beauty must-have is her Refy brow sculpt to frame the face all day long. You know, we’re all about elevating your everyday…

“Even on no-makeup days, I always reach for it. With my thick brows, this product is an essential, it shapes them perfectly and keeps them in place all day!”

Beth: Email & CRM Executive
