Bourjois healthy mix serum 10.99GBP
I got this foundation about a year ago as a PR sample. I hadn't heard about this product at that point and I didn't like the fact that it's got silicone in it. But a few months ago I found out that everyone was raving about this product on blogs / youtube, and I thought of trying again to see if it's really good. And I liked it so much and I gave up on my mineral-foundation-habit.
I used to use mineral foundation only because it was supposed to be good for my skin, because silicon in liquid foundation could clog my pores and it's not ideal to cover my skin surface with it, then my skin cannot breath. But the downside of mineral foundation is that it doesn't cover anything really and I didn't like that. This foundation is not too heavy, it also gives a natural look and it does actually make my skin look really healthy and glowing.
I have it in shade "Vanilla" which is the perfect colour for my skin tone! At first I thought it looked a little bit dark, but once I spread it all over my face it evens out my skin tone. It covers my pores on my cheek and redness around my nose without concealer. I also like the smell of it, fruity and fresh! I used to use my fingers to apply the foundation but recently I use a brush to do it. I'm not sure if it makes difference but I like it this way just because I don't like my fingers to get dirty :P
Overall I think it's a very good foundation. It doesn't get cakey at all, and it makes my skin look really healthy and glowing without shimmer. I still don't like the feel of silicone on my skin but I'm getting used to it. More than that I like the look it gives to my skin! I would repurchase this product when it runs out, I'm not going to buy it in Japan because it's 2000yen here, but I would purchase from ASOS, they offer free delivery worldwide and they have all the shades!
