Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation Review

Hey Beauties! 

I always get asked what foundation I use, so over the next few weeks, I'll review my top 3! I've managed to narrow it down ;) With working full time, and wearing a full face of makeup everyday, I've always been on the lookout for a nice foundation,which gives me maximum coverage, isn't too heavy and above all doesn't dry out, my already dry skin. Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation isn't a newbie to the blogosphere but it's definitely a good one.

It gives me great coverage, blends easily and leaves my skin glowing.The lasting power is also great, perfect for a girl who needs to wear makeup all day, everyday for work!  I apply it at about 8.45 am and by the time I'm home at 7 it's still looks just as fresh! It retails for around €12/13 which you can't really complain to much about! The finish isn't matte, but isn't dewy either, which I love! It's a must have for every beauty junkie, that wants something a little inexpensive! It would definitely work for you if you want:

• A medium/full coverage foundation.
• You want healthy looking skin. 
• You want a natural finish. 
• You want to be able to blend your foundation easily.

Another thing  I really love about this foundation is that you can see how much you have left, as the pump rises, with each use. A nifty little invention if you ask me. I always forget how much I've used if I can't see the product disappearing.  So now I know when I'm running low, and I can restock ;) The only downside I've found is that it doesn't blend as much as it should on my nose. What I do to avoid that is to put some concealer, and a little bit of Rimmel's "Wake Me up" as my nose seems to absorb that better. Anyone else get that same problem?!

I use Collection 2000 cream concealer before applying the foundation.  I then used Mac's "Mineralise Skin Finish" in Medium/Dark to set my makeup.  I then finished  it off with with MAC's "Dainty" blush, which I'm loving at the mo!I use to think that expensive foundations worked the best, and that cheaper alternatives weren't as good as them. Over the past year Both Bourjois and Rimmel have really opened my eyes and both are now staples in my makeup bag! It really does go to show you that you really should try cheaper products out! They definitely have saved me a lot of money!
