Bourjois Healthy Mix


Hi! So today I thought I'd share my opinion on the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation and Healthy Mix Concealer. I know there are a lot of reviews on this particular foundation but anyways here's my version. :)

The foundation offers very light but buildable coverage. It looks very natural on the skin but has a dewy finish so I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin (like mine). That's why I have a love-hate relationship with this foundation. I love how blendable it is, that it feels like nothing on the skin, even the fruity scent but it definitely isn't for my skin type. Even with powder I'm a little on the shiny side with it. Plus I have to spend twice more time concealing because of the sheer coverage. However it's a really nice foundation. A big plus for me is the shade selection. I have very fair skin so usually I have trouble finding the right shade but 51 Vanilla is the perfect match for me. Well done Bourjois! The colour isn't too pinky, it's maybe even a bit more yellowish than my skin but I find that this just balances the redness.

Now for the concealer. I have to say I really like it. This is my second tube of it. It's a good multifunctional one. You know how there are light-reflecting ones for the under-eye area which just won't do the trick with spots and blemishes. This isn't the case with the Healthy Mix Concealer. It conceals my dark circles, redness and spots pretty well. And it stays for hours without the need to reapply (except for the more oily areas like around my nose) but that's understandable. And I have to say the packaging is really nice- it doesn't take too much space in my make-up bag and it's hygienic because it doesn't have one of the sponge applicators that just become dirty and gross after some use.

In conclusion I'd say these are really good products with afforable pricing so if you haven't tried them out yet you should! I hope this was helpful to at least some of you :)
