Bourjois Healthy mix serum foundation

Thursday, 2 July 2015

I have heard so many people talk about this foundation and seen it so many beauty bloggers favourites, so obviously I had to try it too. What drew me to it the most was that its a serum based foundation so more moisturising and therefore good for people with dry skin, since I have dry skin I thought I would love this foundation, and I do love it!

I've been using this foundation for a few weeks now and I cant get enough of it, its by far my favourite foundation from the highstreet/drugstore. It is on the pricier side for a drugstore foundation at £10.99 at boots, but to be honest I still think that's a pretty good deal compared to high end foundations.

The only disappointing thing is that this foundation is only available in 6 shades, and there are pretty much no shades for deeper skin tones. I use the darkest shade which is 58 dark bronze.

PROS:
  • Really moisturising therefore great for my dry skin.
  • Isn't cakey or heavy feeling on the face.
  • Hypoallergenic. 
  • Price is decent.
CONS:
  • May not be great for oily skin as it is a bit on the dewy side.
  • No spf so no protection from sun for people who prefer to have spf in their foundation.
  • Sheer coverage may not be enough for some people.
  • Doesn't last too long on the skin especially when its hot as it just melts of my face. 
In my case the CONS don't really exist for me as I have dry skin and prefer my foundations to not have spf (avoids flashback when taking photos with flash) in them and also I opt for a sheer coverage foundation usually anyways. So overall I would rate this foundation a 4/5. The reason its not a 5/5 is because of the small shade range and the lasting power is not too good. 

If you can find a shade for your skin tone then I would definitely suggest you give it a go.

    1. Hey, I have the Bourjois foundation in the shade 58 hale fonce/dark bronze. Although it matches my skin tone this foundation is not exactly the same as the Nars one.
