* Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation * Shade 51 & 52

Evening ladies!

Tonight I thought i'd share some thoughts on my newest foundation - Bourjois Healthy Mix. Id read some good reviews in the papers/magazines, and saw some good blog posts floating around, so I decided to give it a go, rather that shelling out £20-odd on my usual Clinique Superbalanced Foundation. I tend to only wear this in the day time, saving my higher-end foundations for evening wear.

I have 2 shades - Light Vanilla (51) for the winter months and Vanilla (52) for when I have a bit of a tan!

It boasts a 16hr coverage, which I dont particulary find entirely true - I definately need a top up after a full shift at work if i'm off out anywhere, but on a weekend, throughout the day it seems to last pretty well - not sure how this works, lol!

I do like the scent, and it gives a good medium coverage - not too heavy and not too light. Its also pretty buildable. It also promises a 'Fruit therapy radiance boost' - but in all honesty, im not sure it makes my skin any better than my Clinique really!

 It also comes with a handy pump, which is a plus - my Clinique is just an open bottle!

Here I have compared the 2 shades:

Left - Light Vanilla (51)  ~ Right - Vanilla (52)

Left - Light Vanilla (51)  ~ Right - Vanilla (52)

This one is the opposite way round, Vanilla on the left, Light on the right. You can see there is quite a difference between then two.

Here you can see the coverage (layered on a bit thicker than I would normally wear it!) You can see how it gives a nice even tone, and covers up a mole relatively well, so its not bad for evening out skin tone.

So - thoughts in a nutshell:

Price - £9.99 -  4/5

Coverage - 3/5

Does what it promises? 3/5

Repurchase? - Yes - unless I find something to top this one!

Let me know your thoughts on this one - does it work for you?

Thanks for reading :)
