Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

I recently purchased this baby on a trip to dubai, after finding out that this company was a branch of chanel but much lighter on the pocket. I love foundations that are luminescent and leave you looking radiant and glowy. So i really love this foundation and was thrilled to learn it is available in South Africa.

It is not a heavy foundation so you can use as is daily or build up for extra coverage if needed.

With a blend of fruits its sure to keep your skin in top condition too.

Definitely be buying this again

After many years of consistently buying a different foundation every time...the pursuit of perfection seemed to be a never ending story. One day, my daughter left her foundation behind on my dressing table. I had never heard of Bourjois, well I had to try it out...and WOW, where had this stuff been all my life. Off to Edgars I went and after going through three bottles, the line was discontinued :-(... What's a girl to do...import. Happiness reigned last Saturday when I found Bourjois now being stocked by Laserderm in Johannesburg. Shew...relief...After searching my whole life I had finally found the perfect make up.

Ok, this one is good and bad...I read a lot of reviews before buying this foundation. However, I have to say I was disappointed. It is NOT long lasting as it claims, by lunch I have to touch up. The coverage is medium and semi matte finish. I don't have an oily skin, but I would only recommend this for someone with very dry skin. Not a bad foundation overall, but just didn't work for me and my skin and I won't buy it again.

I purchase this foundation at Edgars for R189.99. They did not have a fully stocked foundation display but I was lucky enough to find the last remaining bottle of the colour I wanted. I use No. 56 Dark bronze which is a touch darker than my paler winter shade but when blended well its hard to tell the difference. The finish is semi-matte medium coverage and has a great wear time although the claim of 16hrs is a bit of an exaggeration. I have combination skin and I like to set this foundation with a light dusting of powder but if you have dry skin this foundation is quite fine on its own. I really wish they had a wider selection of colours but I would definitely consider purchasing this foundation again.

I have tried a dozen of different foundations. Some were too thick and mask-like, others didn't have enough coverage, others clogged my pores and so on and on... I thought I would never find a good medium priced foundation and would have to spend a fortune on a high end brand. Until I found this baby! I can't rave enough about it! My perfect shade is Vanilla 52 and it is a yellow based shade which is flattering for most skin tones unlike the pink based shades. It blends like a dream without leaving any streaks (I use my fingers) and its very quick to apply . My blemishes and scars are covered without looking like I am wearing a mask. It stays fresh looking for most of the day. The finish is semi matte and lovely. I so recommend it! Hopefully it will never get discontinued! It smells like apricots which I find very nice! I have had tons of compliments on my skin since using this. Hopefully my review won't become so popular that readers will run and buy them all out LOL. Otherwise I need to stock up!

This foundation in particular is featured on the home page of www.bourjois.co.uk as an award winning foundation of the year.
