Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation and Healthy Mix Correcting Concealer

Healthy Mix Serum Foundation in shade 51 and Healthy Mix concealer in shade 51

So I know I am rather late to join this little bandwagon but I wanted to try it out properly before writing a review. I have been using this foundation for about 3 months now and I totally LOVE it!!!! Normally I stay well away from drugstore foundations as I have had bad experiences in the past with colourings (I usually end up looking like an Oompa loompa:  Not a good look) and was a bit sceptical about trying this! However having seen everyone rave about it and done my research, I decided to bite the bullet and go for it, and I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (does this show you how glad I am??) glad that I did! The consistency of this is so light and I can barely feel that I am wearing it. I loved it so much that I decided to purchase the concealer to match and together they are amazing!!

Concealer     Foundation

I have both of these in shade 51 and they seem to match my skin tone brilliantly. I would say this shade has more yellow undertones than pink, which suits me perfectly (as I have previously mentioned I am an NC15 in M.A.C). I find these blend really, really well and do not go at all cakey. I have had major problems with my skin recently and have begin seeing a dermatologist for my acne. My skin is naturally dry and I find it hard to find foundations that don't accentuate the dry patches. This foundation provides good, buildable coverage whilst still being moisturising. The products I have been using for my acne are drying my skin out even more and I have found if I use a concealer it tends to go cakey within 10mins of applying it. This is the only concealer I have found that doesn't do this and doesn't cling to the dry patches...literally amazing!!! Also it hasn't broken me out, or made my acne worse!!

This foundation claims to last for 16hours, but to be honest I couldn't tell you if this is true (I mean really, how many people are likely to have this on for 16 hours)!! I however usually apply it at about 7 in the morning, before work and it is still there when I get home at half 5, which is brilliant!!! The only thing that could put people off is the scent, as it has quite a strong fruity smell to it. Usually I worry about putting highly scented things on my face, but the smell of this is divine and doesn't seem to create a bad reaction on my face. WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 

The foundation retails for £ 10.99 in the UK (so a higher end drugstore brand) and the concealer costs £7.49. I think these are good value for money and well worth the cost. To put it in perspective you wouldn't even be able to buy a foundation is M.A.C for the price of both these items! 

So all in all, I shall defiantly be re-purchasing both of these!!! Well done Bourjois!!
