I'm quite dumb. I loved this liquid foundation so much, I kept using it daily and now the glass bottle is really dirty and I only have around 30% of the liquid foundation left - so I cannot bear to take photographs and post them on my blog. Yikes. The photos provided by Bourjois itself shall suffice then (sorry guys!!).
The Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation has reached "holy grail" status in my books. I have been using it every single day since I bought it and I'm running out!! The worrisome side of me keeps wanting to order 5 more as backups, JUST IN CASE. What if they discontinue this glass bottle of enchanting liquid? CHOI TOUCH WOOD.
I purchased mine from ASOS.com (link) for less than S$15 because there was a 30% off cosmetic products some time back. Even without the discount, it's less than S$20. If you go to Watsons, BHG or other local stores that stock Bourjois, this will definitely cost you more than S$30 (I think it's S$34.90 or some ridiculously exorbitant price-tag). If you want to try this foundation out, I will suggest you order from ASOS.com - free worldwide shipping + will cost you half the Singapore retail price (DAYLIGHT ROBBERY).
Time to zoom in to the reasons why I love this foundation so much.
- Oily-skin compatible - this foundation is great for those with oily skin. I have severely oily skin, especially around the nose and forehead. When I have the Healthy Mix Foundation applied, my skin still gets oily but not as much as before. Usually, I will need to blot at 11am (I usually apply at 8am), then another time at 3pm. With this foundation, I only blot once at 4-5pm, and touch up with some loose powder and I'm good to go!
- Acne prone-skin compatible - Sadly, my acne prone skin is still giving me a headache. I'm scared to try new face products because I'm scared of the potential breakouts that I may get. This liquid foundation didn't break me out AT ALL. Very very good!!
- Medium coverage - The Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation is not a full-coverage foundation. It has a medium coverage and it will not be able to cover huge pimples. However, I personally prefer this medium coverage because I don't want to feel cakey all over my face. Some liquid foundations have a coverage so strong and thick that you feel like you're wearing a mask. This one feels lightweight and breathable. You can just cover your blemishes with a good concealer, no biggie!
- Blendability - This is one of the main reasons why I love this liquid foundation so much. It's SOOOO blendable! If you use a foundation brush, it's blendable. If you use your fingers, it's blendable. So easy to work with! No unglam patches and uneven pigmentation. It's also a breeze to build up the layers.
- Long-lasting - No joke. It lasted for more than 12 hours. My face needed blotting at the end of 12 hours but I still looked okay without a touch-up.
- "Younger-looking skin" - I don't know how factual this is, but quite nice to know that the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation will give you a younger-looking skin look. HAHA.
ARGH, I NEED TO BUY MORE!!! I think I will run out in another 2 weeks' time. Complete disaster.
Hope you enjoyed this quick review (with a lack of photos, sorry!). Have a great day!!
