Product Review; Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum!

So for my first review, I thought I'd try one of my favourite and most talked about drugstore products there is...(drumroll please)
BOURJOIS HEALTHY MIX SERUM!

Now where to start with this product...I suppose I should start by saying that I LOVE IT...like my own child. Not that I have one, but it's that good. If you want to take a look at the website for what the foundation is for please check here; http://www.bourjois.co.uk/catalog/make_up/complexion/foundation/healthy_mix_serum_foundation


The healthy mix serum is sold for around £9.99 from Superdrug, Boots; all your normal places for and is available in 6 different shades.

 51-Vanille Clair

 52-Vanille   

  53- Beige Clair

 55-Beige Fonce

 56-Hale Clair

 58-Hale Fonce

The packaging of the foundation is very cute and the pump makes it very easy and clean to apply.

It is a lovely formula that's not too thick and not too sheer and blends so easily whether you are using a brush or your fingers.

The smell of the product is absolutely AMAZING! The packaging says the foundation contains vitamin rich fruits such as lychee, goji berries and pomegranate and oh my god can you smell it when you apply it to your face.

Now onto the finish of the healthy mix. Although it does a very good job of evening out your skin tone and giving you a hint of colour, the coverage of 1 coat is not very high, but if you like a light coverage, this is perfect for you. However this is a very buildable foundation and if you feel you need more layers, then apply a pump or 2 more to your face. The finish is perfect for any skin type as it is not matte and not dewy. In fact I would call it more of a semi matte finish as it needs to be powdered just a tiny bit but does not leave your face feeling greasy at all, so it's perfect for all you oily skined girl's like me! :)



The one very small downside I have to this product is the "16H claim on the bottle". In my experience, even with power, primer and setting spray the foundation does not last as long as I would like it to and perhaps this is something to do with the gel consistency of the foundation. However, with a few touch ups during the day, your skin will look radiant and with an even complexion! 

Thanks for reading and I hope you liked my first review! Please comment with requests and feedback!
