Hey guys, so this is my first time in writing a blog (fingers crossed
i'm doing this right lol) and I thought what better way to start then
to discuss an amazing foundation.
Now, I've been lucky enough to try some seriously stunning foundations including chanel vitalumiere aqua, jemma kidd light as air etc however I'm aware these are pretty expensive! I'm sure any person out there who wears foundation religiously wants to find a great foundation which gives good coverage and stays put all day but without the heavy price tag.
So after umming and ahhring (does that even make sense??? lol) i decided to try the bourjois healthy mix serum and I got it in the shade 53/beige claire. With all the rave reviews surrounding this foundation o youtube and on blogs, I couldnt wait to get home and try it out.
My first impression was the packaging was nice and sleek. Not the usual bulky foundation bottles but slender and lightweight yet with still the avearge amount of product in. The downside to the packaging is the cap/lid literally slides off with very little effort required (and i mean VERY little!). Seriously, don't bother taking this foundation if you're travelling unless you pour a small amount into a sealable container.
Moving on I immediately noticed the smell. Now, I'm not a fan of fragranced foundations as I have sensitive skin and even though they dont necessarily break me out it's just something I'd prefer not to have. At first the smell was so strong and overpowering i actually contemplated not using it! Anyone wondering what the smell is? Its quite strange...almost like berries and pomegranets which isn't something i want sitting on my face lol.
Anyway, I'm rambling now! so, after applying 1 pump on to the back of my hand (i tend to go for light coverage as touch wood i dont have problematic skin) I used my buffing brush to buff the foundation into my skin to give it a natural look.
The results were amazing! seriously amazing! The foundation glided on to my skin. It was a dream to work with and required little effort. The consistency is perfect; not too thick and not too thin. The foundation boats 16 hour coverage and do you know what? I agree. I can have this foundation on from 6.30am up til 9.00pm and it still looks good.
I own so many foundations and this particular one is on it's last legs (boo :(). But without a doubt I will indeed repurchase. I recommend everyone tries this foundation. It retails at £10.99 and can be found in Boots and Superdrug.
I'm gonna stop rambling now because I'm not sure how people will react to this. Please let me know what you think guys. I'm aware this isn't covering every point and can be more detailed but I've literally had ten minutes to write this!
thanks guys xx
