Bourjois Health Mix Foundation

Evening lovelies, hope you well and having a good week. I'm writing this on Wednesday but if it makes it up before Friday it will be a miracle!!(well I failed because its now Tuesday!) School has taken over my life and not in a good way! But enough of my ramblings...


For the past few months I've been using Bourjois' Healthy Mix Foundation after leaving my make up at home during a trip to the boys parents at Christmas and a rush into town picked this up as it was on offer in Boots.

I've never tried Borjois foundation as it was always more expensive and I didn't feel I could justify it in my student days. Since then there have been loads of reviews on blogs that I've read, many of which have had a totally different experience to me!

For me it is a light to medium coverage foundation which is build able to some degree. It does make my skin look fresh, however this only lasts a couple of hours before it starts to wear. My skin is having a bit of a mare at the moment, breaking out with dry and oily patches and this foundation is not helping! It starts to slide off the oily patches, whilst showing up any dry patches and it doesn't cover up any blemishes, instead clogging around them and making then stand out more, even with concealer. 


The shade range is ok, more suited if you have a more yellow skin tone as this can make me look orange - I picked shade 52 as I'm not exceptionally pale but still lack a lot of colour!


My biggest bug bear with this product is the packaging. I don't know if it's just my bottle but I can't store it away, I have to stand it upside down otherwise the pump doesn't work and I can't get any product out! If I forget to put it upside then I can forget using it in the morning as it won't work at all, does anyone else have this?


For someone who has nearly clear to flawless skin this would be fine for them, being a good base but for me with my split personality skin it's all a bit stressful and now I'm just trying to use it up, mixing it with other products.


It wouldn't be something I will repurchase sadly, but it wouldn't stop me trying other foundations from Bourjois in the future.


What do you think? Have you tried it and loved it or loathed it?


Thanks for reading xx
