So my product for this month has been the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, mines in shade no. 52, Vanille. Previously I've been using the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation (you can read my thoughts on this here), initially I really liked this foundation but then I changed my mind and keep thinking that the shade is too dark and orange for me. I have used the Bourjois Healthy Mix powder and concealer and loved both so I think that trying this foundation is long over due!
So firstly, there's a lot about this foundation on the beauty bloggers sphere, so I had high expectations, and at about ten pounds it's not the most expensive foundation in the world. You get the normal 30ml of product, in a class bottle -even though the caps are plastic they're still chunky and feel sturdy and not flimsy making it feel like a "solid" product and subtle for travelling.
Now on to the product itself, its a lovely light foundation which feels refreshing on the skin. It has quite a runny texture so I find it's best to apply it with a stippling brush but it blends easily into the skin to actually give a healthy glow! so does live up to its name there. This is a typical thing to say but it doesn't feel thing or look cakey so you genuinely forget you're wearing foundation. On a side note the fruity smell is not overpowering so you're not concerned that your face smells funny all day! The only downside to this foundation is the staying power, so I think I need to try it with a primer or I'm not applying enough product - any tips on how to make this foundation last longer would be appreciated.
Overall, I do really like this foundation, we'll have to see if I can make it too the end of the bottle before deciding that I don't like it any more.
