TGIF - Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation


Sorry there was bad weather :(

Hi girls! Today I’ll be reviewing Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (£10.99) i have the shade 57 - Hâlé

What they say.....
70% MORE RADIANCE AND FLAWLESS COMPLEXION FOR UP TO 16 HOURS!
Bourjois' 1st radiance-boosting fruit therapy foundation for a flawless complexion for up to 16hrs!
Apricot > radiance
Melon > hydration
Apple > antioxidant
Ginger > energy
Its exquisite glide-on formula blends onto the skin for a flawless, yet natural finish.

And... It’s good for my skin:
· 8 hrs. moisture
· Lets skin breathe 
· Dermatologically tested

(Taken from their website)

Packaging......

It’s got a pump yay for hygiene!  All the information is sticker-ed on.  The tube is clear and the pump is black so you can see how much product you have left.

The foundation..........
It has a fruity smell that you'll either love/hate but i don't mind it.  My first thoughts were 'oh my this is runny isn't it' but i realise it is a good thing because it glides on but be careful it sets pretty quickly so blend fast.  It is very long lasting as i wore it for about 9 hours and it was still there.  I can't test 16 hours as i don't wear foundation for that long.  It is very yellow toned, it isn’t a problem for me as I’m warm toned but for cooler tones it might be a struggle to find  your right shade.

Would i buy again - yes, yes, yes!!!

What i am loving : may


Hey everyone its not quite june yet (1 day to go) but i thought i'd do this now rather than forgeting about and posting it in the middle of june.

So here we go !

1. Urban Decay Naked Palette - I love this palette best £27 I've ever spent in my life! The colours are very pigmented and blendable and just a big pile of lovely !! and i got with the double eyeliner instead of the eyeshaow brush -YAY!!! (maybe 'cause i got it the day it came out.)

2. Maybelline The Falsies Mascara - I spent £8 on something that should've been a lot more its buildable and not clumpy.

3. MAC a fabulous lip fantasy lip kit - it's a love or hate product and i LURRVE it! its colours that work on everyone it has 2 lip sticks and 1 lipgloss and the tartan packaging is right up my street as i am Scottish.

4.  Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation - Love , love , love this foundation! its nearly a perfect match to my skin and it feels so nice putting it on.  I know a lot of people had problems with patches and muddyness but so far none for me :)

5. Ecotools 6 piece brush set - Perhaps the best , most soft drug-store brushes out there! I particularly like the blush brush and concealer brush

So thats the may faves sorted if you have made a similar post link it here i'd love to know what you have been loving

Bourjois effet 3D lipgloss



Hey Honeybees :)

Today i am going to review the Bourjois effet 3D lip gloss (£6.99).  I think by now you are all thinking what is up with this girl and bourjois!!!
 
Good things...........
Variety of colours, applicator and 3D effect

Bad things..............
Lasts at the most 30 mins until the need to reapply.

Packaging...........................
The gloss comes in a long tube with a screw top lid which you unscrew to reveal the lip brush.  The lip brush is an actual brush!!!! Not one of those spongy applicators and also the handle is long which makes it easy to hold.

The lip gloss...........


I chose Brun Rose Academic and the tube is see through so you know how much product you’re gonna get / is left. I absolutely LOVE this colour it’s a nice pink not nude not trashy just the way i like it to be it glides on smoothly and with the lip brush you are left with a nice precise finish. But to my discontent the colour didn't even last an hour :(.



Grade B-


What are your thoughts on 'Bourjois effet 3D lip Gloss' ???

Bourjois smoky eye trio


Hey,
       Gorgeous

I bought the Bourjois smoky eye trio in nude ingénu (04) for £7.99

Good things........................
Nice colors, two are pigmented, nice packaging, all right price


Bad things...........
Lightest color lacks pigmentation, silly brushes

Packaging......................


Its nice 'n' simple with light brown lettering

The trio..........................
Well the browns are pigmented but the highlight doesn't really show up (que swatch pic)
They stay on reasonably well  (for 4 hours without primer)

Grade
B-

Bourjois little round pot blush


Hey honey-bees :)

*******IMPORTANT UPDATE**********
don't tip it up-side down or it will break . yes i did that . Ooopsies

I had eyed this up for a while so when i finally saw it i HAD to buy it and it cost 7.49 (it might seem a lot for a blush but its also has limited edition packaging :] )

Good things - Blendable, variety of colours, natural, pigmented, long wear

Bad things - THE BRUSH !!!, price

A little history lesson........

In 1863, Bourjois was born on the great boulevards of Paris in the theatre district, at a time when France was the world's second leading economic power. The actor Joseph-Albert Ponsin was the company's first creator; he prepared makeup and perfumes for actors and actresses in the comfort of his own home. In 1868, Ponsin entrusted his entire activity to Alexandre-Napoléon Bourjois. The company blossomed in the hands of Monsieur Bourjois, who made it internationally known.


Packaging ..................

One word - Gorgeous !!!!


The Blush..............
 
It smells very floral so if your not one for scented products don't use this blush.
The shade I got is number 74 and it’s called Rose Ambré.  On my medium/dark skin it gives a lovely pinky glow.  One thing though it can cake up quite easily so one tap on my blush brush for each check and i'm good to go,  which brings me to my next point the brush included is AWFUL the concept of a curved blush brush is great but i think it picks up way to much product and it the curvy-ness doesn't help either unfortunately.

Price.....
 
I do think it's a little on the pricey side of the drugstore blushes but since it is baked it will last for ages.

Grade .............



A+

Do you have a little round pot blush ?
 Do you lurrve it or loathe it?
Are there any more colours that i need to have?



Swatched!!!!!
