I did a first impressions review of Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum earlier this year, and wasn't keen at all, but after testing the Healthy Mix Foundation in Superdrug, I decided to give the non gel based formula a try.
I've been using it daily for a good few weeks now, and I'm really liking it. It has light/medium coverage as opposed to the full coverage I'm used to, but it's buildable to full coverage if needed, and mixed with a bit of Wake Me Up, it's easily full coverage.
I found it extremely easy to blend, although I still tend to work fast with it just in case it decides to set and leave streaks on my neck (it hasn't so far).
I got the Radiance Reveal version, and it has a satin to dewy finish. On my normal-dry skin it's very wearable without powder, giving a nice glow to the skin. It has apricot for radiance, melon for hydration, apple for antioxidant and ginger for energy, it smells incredible - very fruity and fresh and not artificial and plastic-y - and claims to give a healthy glow and flawless complexion for up to 16 hours.
Whilst I haven't worn the foundation for 16 hours, I haven't had an issue with oxidation, caking or fading. It has always lasted as long as I've needed it to, usually for a good 8+ hours.
I have it in the shade 51 Light Vanilla, and it matches my skin tone quite well - it's very pale. If I want slightly more colour, I mix it with my Wake Me Up, as I said earlier. There are 8 shades to choose from, so chances are you'll be able to find a shade that fits your skin tone.
Overall I love this foundation, it leaves my skin looking glowy and fresh, it feels light on the skin and hasn't caused any kind of irritation or reaction. I would just say that there are a few versions of the Healthy Mix foundation, and the one I have and like is the Radiance Reveal. The others I have tested and didn't like as much as this one.
It's available from Boots for £9.99
