❤ Review: My Bourjois Foundations ❤

Hi Lovelies,

Hope you're having a great day!!

Today I'm going to go through the Bourjois Foundations I have in my collection and let you know what I think of them.

I've got the Healthy Mix Foundation, Flower Perfection Foundation and the Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation.

I buy my Bourjois products from Priceline and always wait until they're on sale which is fairly often :o)

Before I get onto the review I thought I'd let you know that I have Normal to sometimes Dry skin. 

The Bourjois foundations don't have much of a shade range so I'd recommend going in store to do a colour match.

I'm in the shade 53 in all three foundations.

Swatches are below

Healthy Mix Foundation

How Bourjois describes this foundation:

"Radiance boosting with fruit-derived ingredients for a flawless, glowing complexion for up to 16 hours.

Apricot for Radiance

Melon for Hydration

Apple for Anti-oxidant

Ginger for Energy

Melting formula blends onto skin for a flawless yet natural finish."

I love this foundation and this is my third repurchase.

I used it in my recent Foundation Routine video:

I use my Sigma Flat Kabuki F80 Makeup Brush or the Real Techniques Buffing Brush and only need 1 or 2 pumps.

My thoughts:

*  Love the packaging - has a pump (hygienic), less wastage, a guide to show how much you have left

*  Love the smell which is fruity

*  Has a light weight feel

*  Provides medium coverage (I prefer medium coverage over full coverage)

*  Sets to a satin, luminous, natural finish

*  Is build able without looking 'cakey'

*  Photographs well as it has no spf (I make sure to wear a high spf bb cream or primer if using it during the day)

*  Wears well during the day or night (8 hours)

*  Powder needed to set if you have oily skin and may need a touch up during the day

*  Won't be enough coverage if you have blemishes or acne scarring

*  Limited shade range

Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation

How Bourjois describes this foundation:

"Instantly blends onto skin for an even, very natural finish, with no streaks. Imperfections are erased, signs of fatigue are smoothed, the radiance of the complexion is boosted for 16 hours. Vitamin enriched fruit therapy formula with lychee, goji berries and pomegranate. Gives skin 69% more radiance after 4 weeks of use."

I really enjoy using this foundation as well and will use it more in Winter if my skin gets drier.

I use my Sigma Flat Kabuki F80 Makeup Brush or the Real Techniques Buffing Brush and only need 1 or 2 pumps.

This foundation has been compared quite a bit to Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua (Bourjois & Chanel are sister companies so similar formula I believe).

I've read that Bourjois has better coverage over the Chanel foundation and not as dewy.

My thoughts:

*  Love the packaging - has a pump (hygienic)
*  Love the smell which is fruity
*  Light weight feel
*  Medium coverage 
*  Sets to a dewy, natural finish
*  Is build able without looking 'cakey'
*  Photographs well as it has no spf (I make sure to wear a high spf bb cream or primer if using it during the day)
*  Wears well during the day or night (8 hours)
*  I like the sound of the 69% more radiance over a 4 week period!! I'll see how that goes :o)
*  Wouldn't recommend it for oily skins
*  Won't be enough coverage if you have blemishes or acne scarring
*  Limited shade range

Flower Perfection Foundation

How Bourjois describes this foundation:

"A youth extension foundation with a nude-skin sensation for a smooth and beautified complexion for 16 hours.

SPF 15 formula with wild azalea, resistant to extreme climate conditions, protects skin cells for a long-lasting youth extension effect on the complexion."

This foundation gives me full coverage and I would say is more suited to oiler skin types. It's not one of my favourites for that reason but I would recommend it if you have oily skin or like full coverage to conceal blemishes or acne scarring.

As this foundation is a thicker formulation I like to use my damp Beauty Blender to apply and I use 1 or 2 pumps.

My thoughts:

*  Packaging has a pump (hygienic) but is bulky with the added sponge

*  Love the smell which is floral
*  Full coverage 
*  Sets to a semi-matte finish
*  Is build able without looking 'cakey'
*  Has SPF 15 
*  Conceals blemishes or acne scarring
*  Wears well during the day or night (8 hours)
*  Wouldn't recommend it for dry skin
*  Limited shade range

Overall, the Healthy Mix Foundation is my every day favourite but I love using the other two depending on the occasion!!

Let me know if you've tried these and what you think of them as well :o)

Have a great day

Maybelline NY "FITme" Foundation & Concealer Review

Hey Lovelies!!

Hope you're all well :o)

I bought the New ('New' for us Aussies) Maybelline NY FITme Foundation and Concealer (as below) a few weeks ago and thought I would let you know what I think of them. I got number 235 in the Foundation and number 20 in the Concealer.

I featured them in my recent Favourites Video:

First off I'll say that I've been in love with the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse (as below) for the past year or so and have been threw around 15 bottles of it haha! I am Medium - Pure Beige. I've been trying out different foundations during that time but hadn't found anything that I preferred over the Maybelline DLM. That's until I tried the FITme Foundation. 

I am one that doesn't want too much coverage - I want a foundation to have more coverage then say a tinted moisturiser but still look natural and flawless. I also like a dewy look rather than Matte (especially coming into Spring/Summer). I find that the Fit Me Foundation satisfies these requirements.

I wouldn't recommend it for people with oily skin - it's best on normal to dry. It's got a very lovely, light formula and it claims to allow your skin to breathe. It's also got a translucent base and lightweight pigments to highlight your skin's natural highs and lows. It's also got an SPF of 15. 

I found applying it with my fingers didn't work as well as using a foundation brush. 

The only downside with it is the bottle it comes in - it looks great! But to dispense the product is a bit of a hassle - I really like the pump dispenser of the Dream Liquid Mousse.  

The "FITme" name means that you should be able to find a shade (number) that best matches your skin tone. They have the relevant Concealer and Powder that matches with that Foundation Colour (number). I believe there are 18 foundation shades available but I've only seen up to 12 different shades in store in Australia.   

Pricing will vary wherever you source your Maybelline products but the average is around $18 for the 30ml bottle.

Here are some swatches (Number 235):

Blended:

In relation to the Concealer - it's fantastic! I always go a shade or two lighter than my foundation as I use it around my eye area. I got the number 20 in Sand. 

There are 6 different Shades available in Australia and the average price is $13 for 6.85ml. It's got a brush applicator which I really like.

Once again the formula is light and gives a natural coverage.

Here are some swatches (Number 20):

 Blended:

Thank you for reading and have a great day!

Be Inspired,
