Bourjois' Healthy Mix Foundation Review

Hello! Ok so my first real blog post is going to be about a foundation by Bourjois called 'healthy mix'
I am in the shade 'light bronze' (56)

I have heard a lot about this foundation but had never felt a keen urge to go out and buy it. However, recently I have been on a hunt for a drugstore foundation that I am able to wear everyday.
I have only worn this foundation for a couple of days so I can't fully round up my thoughts fairly. So far however, I love it!

Packaging wise, it's not the most attractive bottle and does look quite cheap. It is in a pump, rather than an opened top which means the amount that comes out is not in excess therefore less is wasted. The formula is not as miscible as I assumed it would be. The foundation is quite dense for a liquid foundation which I like and smells fruity but not overpowering.

When I applied it onto my face, I found that it can be used as a light coverage, but is also build-able when a higher coverage is required. Unlike a few other foundations I own, it doesn't give me a lot of shine after and doesn't take long to soak in enough to look natural. I find that I don't need to put as much setting powder and when I apply my blusher/ bronzer, the foundation is a good canvas for the blending of the powders that I apply.

In terms of the duration that the foundation stays on, quite a while! When I apply it in the morning, it stays on till the evening when I remove it.
