Ok so I have already done a review on Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (which was my first ever review) and said how much I love it, see the post here. Now I am going to review the serum version. I feel there are many more review out there for this serum as opposed to the actual foundation version. This may be due to the the fact that when they were launched, lighter foundations, BB creams and tinted moisturises were all the craze, therefore the Healthy Mix Serum got more attention than the foundation. I really do not see the difference between this serum and the foundation. They seem to have the same consistency as well as pay off on the skin. Are they meant to be so similar? The smell is the same. The texture on the skin is the same. The only difference I can see is the bottle.
But onto the actual review of the serum.
For a serum which is meant to be a slightly lighter consistency, this one is quite thick, and a light to medium coverage with a dewy finish. It claims to last up to 16 hours and I can definitely say that it does not, although different skin types will have different longevity. It is available in 6 shades (Healthy Mix foundation has a larger variety) made with litchi, goji berries and pomegranates (Healthy Mix foundation is made with apricot, melon, apple and ginger). It is meant to create a non fatigue appearance which I do agree with and it also brightens up my face. It is also a good base for my blushers which I do find that some foundations cling to the blushers and creates a blotchy texture (which this one does not).
If my skin is on the extra dry side, this foundation smooths over the dry areas and doesn't create areas of intensely pigmented coverage (if you know what I mean). I love to use this serum with the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush or the Buffing brush (see links below for their reviews).
For the cheap price of £10.99 this serum is totally worth it.
