I would like to begin by explaining that for the last couple
of months I have been experimenting with a range of foundations. Going from trying
one brand to the next and from high end to low end. Despite having many that
were unsuccessful for me I decided I will try to review every single one with
my opinions. Today's foundation review is on the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel
Foundation the shade I bought was no53.
The foundation is in a neat and slender tube and is very
lightweight which is beneficial when you’re on the move and have to put
everything into a small makeup bag therefore
with this in consideration the packaging was ideal for a busy body like myself.
Also, the clear difference between the
foundation and the foundation serum is that the foundation serum is thinner in consistency
and can be built up easily. This was an important factor as it means I can
bring focus onto areas such as under my eyes and my checks through building up the
consistency and finding that I had more coverage,
however, was using more of the foundation. At the time I couldn’t figure
our whether this was a good thing or a bad.
Once the foundation was applied it dried and left a glow and
my skin did not appear to be greasy. The foundation itself was ideal for work
days and days where I was going for a minimal or simple makeup look.
The downfall for me on repurchasing the foundation was the
fact that it was thin because I felt it did not cover blemishes, redness or
spots very well so I found myself applying more and more just to cover simple areas
of my skin. It also lead me to buy the bottles more frequently as I was using
up more of the foundation.
Another thing I noticed with the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum
Gel Foundation was that it did not remain applied to my skin by the end of the
day. On the foundation itself, it claims
a 16 hours radiance boosting, revived completion. The longest I felt the
foundation would be visible on my skin
was for around 6 to 7 hours before my skin appearing
to have little to no foundation.
What do I like about the foundation?
·
Lightweight packaging and slim packaging which
meant it was easy to take around.
·
Lightweight consistency upon application but
this was also a negative aspect of it.
·
Easy to apply.
·
It was not greasy and left a natural and simple
application look.
What did I not like
about the foundation?
·
Poor coverage of foundation on skin.
·
Thinner consistency which meant I was using
more of the foundation.
·
Only lasted a few hours and left me looking
quite unprofessional on some workdays due to the unevenness of the foundation
on my skin after a couple of hours.
The cost of the foundation?
The foundation can be bought from many drugstores and costs
between £8 and £11 pound depending on the store of purchase. The pricing was
one thing that initially brought me to the interest of the foundation as it is cheap.
Where to buy?
Here are some links
to stores that you can buy the foundation and read a little about them:
For me, the foundation
was okay however not what I was looking for entirely which meant that my
journey continued to find the right foundation and further reviews on those
will also be on my blog soon.

me, this is just my opinion on the foundation as I have been testing many over
the last couple of months.
