Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Review
September 25, 2013With the whole moving house thing, i've literally packed up everything apart from about 10% of my wardrobe and a few hair/beauty essentials. Now me being me, I completely forgot to photograph before packing so at the moment i'm a little stumped on what to do, but I did notice that I haven't reviewed a few products in my makeup stash so I thought i'd review one of those products today.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum - Superdrug (£10.99) |
The product in question is the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation, a gel based foundation made with a vitamin rich fruit therapy formula containing litchi, goji berries and pomegranate designed to reduce signs of fatigue and to rev up the skins radiance for 16 hours.
I purchased this foundation during the summer, but as I had been fake tanning during the summer months I wasn't really using this product all that much as it was too light whilst I had a tan. Having said that, i've been using this on and off for about a month now and this has been a kind of love and hate product for me. I mainly use this when I want a lighter coverage that looks really natural as I find this is perfect, whilst it also covers up any blemishes and it also makes my skin tone look a lot more even. As this foundation is all about revving up your skins radiance, that it definitely does but I have noticed the radiant glow it gives also makes my skin look and feel very oily, which isn't so nice.. but I have found a quick touch up with a powder easily sorts this out, although it is kind of a pain as I haven't really experienced this with any other foundation.
All in all, I do think this is a great foundation especially if your skin is looking very dull but I would not recommend this for people with oily skin as it just makes your oilyness look even worse.
Have you tried this foundation?

This is one of my favourite affordable foundations - I think it's amazing. I love everything about it, the smell, the wear, the coverage I think it's super value for money. Xx
