I've spent the last couple of days in the city capturing some of what has been going on in and around London Fashion Week and yesterday met with the Bourjois team, who were at the Handpicked Media LFW Suite in the fabulous One Aldwych, offering make overs and an insight into the trends that hit the runway at the Zoe Jordan Show on Friday.
With flawless, radiant bases standing out on the models it was no surprise to me that the foundation used for the perfectly polished looks in the shows was Bourjois Healthy Mix. I'm personally really fussy when it comes to foundation and it's fair to say I don't like to stray too much, however when I want a fresh looking face with great coverage, Healthy Mix has been a go-to for me over the past year and when trying it for the first time I couldn't believe I had left it so long.
I know so many "foundation snobs", similar to myself that find this foundation a must have and if a radiant, fresh, dewy like finish is what you strive for; then I highly recommend this foundation.
With my love for Bourjois Healthy Mix clear, you can probably imagine how extremely excited I was when I was introduced yesterday to the new Healthy Mix. New in both look and formula, Healthy Mix is now even fruiter with extra Apricot to give you a beautiful radiance, more Melon for extra hydration and a little added Apple for youth protection. Promising to keep your skin luminous and hydrated for 8 hours, Healthy Mix also works to keep you flawless and evened out for up to 16 hours, which although I personally find to be quite a big claim, I do love it and find it has always lasted a fair while on me.
Something I really like about Healthy Mix is the shade range. Though it isn't massive, it is made up of 8 shades that have a really nice balanced mix of Yellow and Pink undertones which is something that I find great for a drugstore product.
I tend to usually stick to MAC because I like the range of Yellow toned foundations (NC) and know I get on with them, but I find shade 53 and 54 in Healthy Mix work great for me.
The new packaging is something that really appealed to me. Although I love the foundation, the plastic packaging has never really grown on me and although it was great to manage to squeeze out every last bit, I find the new pump bottle a lot more attractive and look forward to adding it into my collection.
The new Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix costs £9.99 and will be available in March.
Have you tried Bourjois Healthy Mix? Are you pleased that they have repackaged it and mixed up the formula a little?
