Hello everyone! My names Sophie and I write the blog CosmeticsCase. Today I am going to be writing a post all about my favourite ‘Holy Grail’ foundation- Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation. It’s not very often that I settle down to one foundation and pin point it as my all-time favourite but I feel like I have tried so many and they have never seemed to be just right. For me it’s like Goldilocks where she try’s all the different porridges and finally finds the right one. Okay…not quite Goldilocks and breakfast but you get my idea.

The
foundation is hypo-allergenic which is good for people with sensitive
skin. It claims to last for up to 16 hours but I would say it lasts 4
hours without needing powder which I expect normally because my skin is
so oily. However before the foundation begins to really wear off I would
say it last about 11 hours but then I take my foundation off by that
point anyways.
I
love the foundation for many reasons. Firstly its drugstore and super
affordable which is a bonus because I thought that I would have to spend
£20+ before I found an amazing foundation. It retails at £10.99 which
although it’s at the higher priced end of the drugstore my bottle lasted
me just under 4 months using it most days as I haven’t changed
foundation since only for probably about a week.
Another
reason I like it is for the smell because although I typically like a
non-scented foundation this smells so fresh. In case you are wondering I
use the Real Techniques Buffing Brush and just put the foundation of
the back of my hand and then use a circular motion to apply it all over
my face.
As
for coverage with the foundation I feel like it provides a medium
coverage and my skin isn’t the best I do have a lot of spots and
imperfections. You can build this foundation because I have when my skin
has been worse and it hasn’t looked cakey at all it looks really fresh
and natural. I feel like this is a foundation that looks better over
time which I love because I think over the day it looks nicer and nicer.
While
all the factors above are part of the reason I love the foundation I
mainly love the fact that this foundation provides a general healthy
glow but provides such a flawless finish on the skin. It covers over
everything so smoothly. I love this foundation for when my skin is
looking dull because it instantly picks up my skin. There is a good
colour range too however it doesn’t cater for a really dark skin tone. I
do tend to powder it but that natural glow still shows through which I
like. Overall I love this foundation and there isn’t one thing that I
don’t like about it.
If you have tried this foundation let me know what you think.

ReplyDeleteThey are amazing. I recommend the core collection kit. I got it from amazon so it was a little bit cheaper. It was actually one of my January favourites if I remember correctly x x
