I know that was said way too hastily, but it is true I have never been so satisfied with a foundation like this in a long time.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in Light Vanilla (51 Vanille Clair)
Bourjois is not available in the U.S. anymore so I had to order this from some UK site.
I think I paid a very reasonable price for this including the shipping charge, which is still comparable to the price I would pay for a drugstore foundation (less than $15).
It took, however, more than two weeks to get here and I was beginning to think it was lost in transit, then it finally arrived a couple days ago.
Hooray!
The best part of this foundation is...that the color Light Vanilla (51) is a perfect match for me!
I feel so lucky since I didn't even get to see the bottle before I ordered, and finding a good color in drugstore foundation seemed almost impossible for me until this point.
(You probably remember my review post on the Revlon ColorStay Whipped Makeup and how I love the foundation but not the color.)
You see how close the foundation color is to my skin tone?
*HAPPY*
After blended out
It is seamless.
I might as well just have taken the picture of my bare arm. ;)
Not only the color match is the greatest, but the foundation itself is excellent as well.
- Provides medium coverage with satin finish that evens out the skintone perfectly
- Does not accentuate dry patches or pores
- The color does not oxidize
- Feels comfortable on skin and controls oil nicely
- Has a tangy fruity smell to it which is quite pleasant (although I would have given more points if it was fragrance free)
- (Supposedly) good for your skin with the fruit extracts in the formula.
- Comes in hygienic pump dispenser
- Affordable (even with the shipping charge)
Here is the FOTD of me wearing this foundation.
I did not set the foundation with loose powder in this look.
I mean, I always get tremendous help from my soft box lighting, but the finish is pretty nice, isn't it? :)
