Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

I often get so caught up in rave reviews about beauty products, especially when I'm not paying too much. Team that with online bargain sites, and I often fall into temptation. I'm sure you're with me here :)
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation
Bourjois Healthy Mix was a foundation that I'd been wanting to try for some time. This is the original formula, and I'm interested in trying Healthy Mix Serum version. The product has many claims, including 16 hour wear. Containing apricot, melon, apple and ginger, it has been formulated to be good for your skin. Giving radiance, hydration and antioxidants.

The foundation comes in an airless pump-top plastic bottle. I love that I can see how much I have used.

The consistency is typical of a liquid foundation. I ordered shade 53, and thankfully it was a perfect match for my skin. I notice a slight fruity scent to this product, which quickly disappears. 

I found application easy, as the foundation just glided over my skin, giving me an even finish. I was happy with the lighter coverage, it is buildable, but I'm content with an evening of skintone, as I find this more natural and surprisingly less aging than a heavier flawless application.

The finish is semi-matte, so helps with my combination skin, but still allows the skin to feel hydrated.

16 hour wear? No, but I don't need my foundation to last that long. I get around 8 hours, I'm more than happy with that.

Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation is worth the hype, in my opinion.

 Have you tried the current version? I'd love to know what you think! :)

    I've never tried any Bourjois foundations hon, but this sounds like it would be good for me, especially being semi-matte. I don't need 16 hour wear either, but 12 would be nice - I'll comment here again if I buy the new version hon ♥

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
