Rave review:Bourjois Healthy Mix in shade 52 Vanilla! (New packaging)

Give me my Healthy Mix! I'm one of the biggest fan of Bourjois Healthy Mix. I used to buy this when they had the older plastic packaging (my review here) and since they're repackaged this line more than a year ago I had to pick up a new bottle! This foundation is best for those with yellower undertones and have a light-medium complexion. There are not many shades in this line and if you're pink toned, super pale or darker you won't find a good match.

For those who aren't aware, Chanel is currently owned by Bourjois and hence many ladies have claimed that this foundation is just as good and some say even better than Chanel's Aqualumiere foundations! Many of Bourjois's products have the same texture and scents as Chanel. Plenty of make up artists love it too and it's super affordable!

Seen in the photo above and below, this foundation is perfect for my complexion. It looks natural, glows and has a beautiful light-medium coverage that covers up light pigmention/moles/scars and brightens up the skin beautifully without being too light!

Packaging & Product!

The original Bourjois Healthy mix came in a plastic tube (as seen above) and it was very well labeled and actually quite similar to the new packaging. However it was in a plastic tube which was great for travelling and the pump in the bottle was the type where the more product you used a plate inside the bottle from the bottom would rise up. I do really like the new packaging a lot, it's more professional and sleek and the red pump really goes nicely with the bits of red text.

This foundation is quite the dream for most ladies. It has a lovely creamy texture but is lightweight on the skin. The coverage is light-medium and the finish is a semi-matte, glowy and very natural look. The product also smells really nice and sweet like a mix of fruits much like how most Bourjois products smell good. This range is most suited to those with yellow skin tones with a NC 20-35.

For those who live in dryer and cooler climates this would be perfect for wearing by itself during cool and less humid weather. Whereas in Singapore I have to set this with powder to make it last and look great for hours. If you do have darker scars/ under eye circles you'd need a separate concealer. The performance of this foundation is above average where it lasts for the most part of the day looking flawless and it doesn't oxidize or fade strangely.

Comparison of foundations: Bourjois Healthy Mix shade 52, ZA True White shade OC00, L'oreal Lucent Magique shade N2, L'oreal True Match shade R2

Comparison of foundations: Bourjois Healthy Mix shade 52, ZA True White shade OC00, L'oreal Lucent Magique shade N2, L'oreal True Match shade R2

Out of these four of foundations Bourjois Healthy Mix and strangely L'oreal True Match match me best. I prefer yellow toned foundations but the L'oreal True Match matches with my slightly tanned neck and limbs better.

Bourjois and ZA's foundations both are light-medium coverage, the ZA and L'oreal Lucent Magique are the most brightening and both L'oreal foundations have the highest coverage and last the longest.

Before and after with Bourjois Healthy Mix shade 52 Vanilla!

As seen in the photo above, Bourjois Healthy mix is the perfect shade on me, it's brightening but not too light, looks like my natural skin, glows, gives a good natural coverage and feels and smells great!

 New reformulated/packaged Bourjois Healthy Mix in shade 52 Vanilla!

Paid: $35.90 SGD or $27.20 USD (I bought this when there was a 30% off as this is marked up)

This retails for £9.99 on Boots ($15.60 USD) and $15.16 USD on ASOS!

Recommend: YES. This foundation if you can find a match in their yellow toned small range of shades is definitely one to try in your life time. For most this is perfect for everyday use and for those in cooler and dryer climates this would be perfect without any setting product. Best for those with dry-normal skin.

Repurchase: Yes! This is my third time repurchasing this product. I've bought this in shade 53 and it's a great match for me too but better when I've got a slight tan. But I totally would buy this again in the future when I'm out of this!

Bottom line: This foundation is a great light creamy textured foundation that's best for an easy flawless look! Totally a winner and one everyone needs to try out!
