Boujois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation is my current favourite foundation. If you want healthy, glowing skin in an instant, this foundation delivers it. Light on the skin with a silky gel texture, it buffs and blends beautifully into the skin resulting in the perfect balance between dewy and matte. As with all my foundations, I use my Sigma F80 or ELF Studio Kabuki Brush to apply for a flawless finish. Bourjois claim the vitamin-rich fruit therapy formula gives skin a radiance boost, evens complexion and has an instant anti-fatigue result, and I'd have to agree. When I want luminous, natural looking makeup, this is the foundation I use.
The packaging is another plus point. The glass-like bottle (although it's plastic) makes it appear more up-market and the pump is ideal for dispersing just the right amount of product, meaning no spillage or wastage. This foundation isn't especially long lasting - that's a claim which only my beloved Estee Lauder Double Wear has lived up to, but I use it with primer and set with powder as I have an oily t-zone and it lasts a good 9 hours. In terms of coverage it's light-medium, so I'd say it's better for use on good skin days as it won't conceal any skin problems but coverage is easily buildable. I have the shade 52 which is a good match. I often find high street cosmetics can be more on the pink side but fortunately Bourjois seem to cater for the warmer skin tones. Overall a fantastic foundation and one to rival the likes of the designer cosmetics!

I haven't tried the serum one yet, but I have the original Healthy Mix and like it. But I have to see, I really like the look of your skin in those pictures, and that might prompt me to go a get a bottle of the serum one :)
ReplyDeleteI love the original Healthy Mix too. I;d say this one is a lot lighter and easier to blend. x
DeleteYour skin looks amazing, might give this a try! x
ReplyDeleteThanks! Definitely try it, seems to be popular with a lot of people. x

DeleteIs it better than the ones at the Body Shop? I think I'll give this one a go, it's cheaper and it sounds and looks better!
ReplyDeleteI've not tried The Body Shop foundations so I couldn't say. It's a great foundation so hopefully you'll love it as much as I do! x
DeleteI have this but I haven't tried it yet. I've told myself I have to use up another foundation first! I'm nearly there! X
ReplyDeleteI admire your patience! Hope you like it as much as I do! x
Deletethis is good to know but i do like a heavier coverage foundation because of certain blemishes and dark circles. and i also need it to last because im at work 8 hours of the day with no time to top up!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of full coverage foundations too. This one does last quite a long time though. It sees me through the work day no problem!
DeleteAmy you look absolutely flawless on these pictures! I can't get over how luminous and well, healthy! your skin looks! Kudos to bourjois! xxx

DeleteI've thought about trying this foundation for aaaages, since my current one just doesnt seem to like my skin very much. So I think you've just swayed me to have a go at it, because your skin looks incredible, let's hope it works as well for me! (: x
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it as much as I do! x

That's what tempted me to try it. It's lovely if you want a bit of a lighter finish than the Healthy Mix. xx
DeleteI was lucky enough to get my hands on the Healthy Mix since they do not sell this brand in the US and I am so in love I want to try more, but I can't :-( your skin looks flawless by the way !
ReplyDeleteIt's so frustrating when the brands you want aren't available! I really want to try Makeup Forever.
DeleteWhat lipstick and blush are you wearing?
ReplyDeleteI think it was 17 Mirror Shine On lipstick in Beehive and MAC Ladyblush cream blusher.
DeleteYour complexion is sooooo perfect!! Gorgeous girl!! God bless you!! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you! x

Aw thank you!
DeleteDo you know what your MAC foundation colour is?
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to figure out if the Bourjois 52 or 53 is better for me.
I think I'm an NC25. I'm quite fair skinned to maybe a 52 would be better?
DeleteThanks!
