My favourite drug store foundation: Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum ♥
15:37
I am all about NARS and MAC foundations however they be priceyyy. It's sometimes nice to try out a good old drug store (Boots, Superdrug) foundation, they're cheap and you could find a new favourite!
Price of Bourjois healthy mix serum: £10.99
What drew me to this foundation first of all was the ingredients it claims to have used, the bottle says 'vitamin-rich fruit therapy' which claims to give you radiance.
I thought you'd all ought to know my skin type before I get into how I feel about it! My skin type is combination, oily in my T zone and around the sides of my nose/cheeks and fine elsewhere. I'd say the coverage of this foundation is medium to full. It is very build able which I like. I can do a sheer layer or build it up to full.
The shade I have is vanilla light 51.
I think the radiance part of the claim is true! As you can see I do seem slightly glowing, I like it! This foundation also surprisingly does cover my spots and redness (please bare in mind I do have Maybelline FIT ME concealer under my eyes, so it's not the work of this foundation.)
I've owned this foundation for a while and each time I have worn it, it has not sunken into any lines, or oxidised (when a foundation is said to have 'oxidised' it means it reacts with the oxygen in the air and turns orange, no thanks!).
If you don't like foundations that have a prominent smell, this probably won't be for you. I really like the smell and I could only describe it as sweet and fruity.
The texture is very serum- like which would benefit drier skins. The T zone defiantly needs to be set in place with a powder when I use it though! (I use Rimmel Stay Matte.) If you have oily skin, maybe this would not be suitable unless you wear a matte primer and powder!
The only complaint I have is that the range of shades isn't that good.
To me this is one of my favourite drug store foundations and I will repurchase!
