If you're anything like me, then your makeup bag doesn't stay the same for more than perhaps two weeks at a time... that isn't to say that I have an endless supply of new products to test out, not by any means, however, I have a habit of continuously rediscovering old loves, and remembering quite why I loved them just so much in the first place...
My next love at the moment is, despite it not being in any way new, the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation. This for me is the perfect drugstore everyday foundation. As I said, it's a staple in my makeup bag, and for good reason. Personally I don't tend to wear it with a primer, and can't vouch for the fact that it 'lasts for 16 hours' as I find it tends start rubbing off after around... 11 shall we say? yes. Let's go with 11. None the less, I still absolutely love this foundation, it leave's a really, believe it or not 'healthy' finish to the skin, looking dewy, and don't run away at that word guys, but yes dewy glow, without being shiny. I'm not one who likes to wear a heavy foundation on a day to day basis, I do like a fair amount of coverage, and would say that this gives a Medium coverage at least, but it still lets your own skin shine through, adding to the natural healthy effect. One thing that may put people off this foundation however is the smell, as I know that some people are averse to applying scented products to their faces, to me however, this is no issue as I absolutely love the smell. It's a very sweet,perhaps peachy smell, possibly due to it containing apricots... shocker! I would thoroughly recommend this foundation to anyone who is looking to brighten up their faces, and want's to beat away the dull skin look from the british winter, as for more oily complexions, I'm not sure how well this would fair, but I'd definitely recommend taking a crack at it, but maybe adding a primer? Let me know your thoughts on these, guys!
Ciao for now :)x
