Boujois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation is my current favourite foundation. If you want healthy, glowing skin in an instant, this foundation delivers it. Light on the skin with a silky gel texture, it buffs and blends beautifully into the skin resulting in the perfect balance between dewy and matte. As with all my foundations, I use my Sigma F80 or ELF Studio Kabuki Brush to apply for a flawless finish. Bourjois claim the vitamin-rich fruit therapy formula gives skin a radiance boost, evens complexion and has an instant anti-fatigue result, and I’d have to agree. When I want luminous, natural looking makeup, this is the foundation I use.
The packaging is another plus point. The glass-like bottle (although it’s plastic) makes it appear more up-market and the pump is ideal for dispersing just the right amount of product, meaning no spillage or wastage. This foundation isn’t especially long lasting – that’s a claim which only my beloved Estee Lauder Double Wear has lived up to, but I use it with primer and set with powder as I have an oily t-zone and it lasts a good 9 hours. In terms of coverage it’s light-medium, so I’d say it’s better for use on good skin days as it won’t conceal any skin problems but coverage is easily buildable. I have the shade 52 which is a good match. I often find high street cosmetics can be more on the pink side but fortunately Bourjois seem to cater for the warmer skin tones. Overall a fantastic foundation and one to rival the likes of the designer cosmetics!
I haven't tried the serum one yet, but I have the original Healthy Mix and like it. But I have to see, I really like the look of your skin in those pictures, and that might prompt me to go a get a bottle of the serum one 🙂
I love the original Healthy Mix too. I;d say this one is a lot lighter and easier to blend. x
Your skin looks amazing, might give this a try! x
Thanks! Definitely try it, seems to be popular with a lot of people. x
I JUST reviewed this! I love it too!

Great minds think alike! x
totally agree that bourjois are good for warmer skin tones! xx
It's a relief to find a brand that doesn't believe we all have pink skin! xx
This is my go to foundation these days 😀 I love it! It's so flawless and blends well 🙂 Great post xx
Glad you agree! xx
You look great, may have to try this, slightly off topic but I love the wallpaper in the background its gorgeous 😀 x
Thanks 🙂 Laura Ashley's finest! x
Is it better than the ones at the Body Shop? I think I'll give this one a go, it's cheaper and it sounds and looks better!
I've not tried The Body Shop foundations so I couldn't say. It's a great foundation so hopefully you'll love it as much as I do! x
I have this but I haven't tried it yet. I've told myself I have to use up another foundation first! I'm nearly there! X
I admire your patience! Hope you like it as much as I do! x
this is good to know but i do like a heavier coverage foundation because of certain blemishes and dark circles. and i also need it to last because im at work 8 hours of the day with no time to top up!
I'm a fan of full coverage foundations too. This one does last quite a long time though. It sees me through the work day no problem!
Amy you look absolutely flawless on these pictures! I can't get over how luminous and well, healthy! your skin looks! Kudos to bourjois! xxx
Thanks, it's one amazing foundation! xx
your skin looks airbrushed here! amazing x
Your skin looks really good, love it. xx
Thanks! x
I've thought about trying this foundation for aaaages, since my current one just doesnt seem to like my skin very much. So I think you've just swayed me to have a go at it, because your skin looks incredible, let's hope it works as well for me! (: x
I hope you like it as much as I do! x
Can I ask what powder you set with ? It's gorgeous!
I absoloutely love this foundation, it makes your skin look so healthy 🙂

Your skin looks amazing here, gorgeous! X
Thank you! x
Stunning photos! I have the original but it's nearly running out I think after this review I might give this ago because out of all the foundations I've tried Healthy Mix was my favourite.

Definitely give it a go! x
You're gorgeous! I really want to try this foundation, but they don't sell Bourjois in the US, unfortunately.
Thank you! That's a shame, I feel the same about Make Up Forever!
You look stunning 🙂 flawless skin! Looks like a great foundation, i will have to give this a go. I'm always looking for new foundations to try. It was good to hear your positive thoughts on it xx
Thank you 🙂 It's a good one to try. And I'm just the same, I love trying new foundations! x
I ♥ Bourjois products but I haven't got anything from them in a while. Maybe I'll try this out..
It's worth a try!
What primer do you use? This gives you such a nice glow its so lovely!

Your skin looks amazing here. I really want to try this one out, I have tried the original healthy mix and I loved it, so I am sure I will like this too!

That's what tempted me to try it. It's lovely if you want a bit of a lighter finish than the Healthy Mix. xx
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Healthy Mix since they do not sell this brand in the US and I am so in love I want to try more, but I can't 🙁 your skin looks flawless by the way !
It's so frustrating when the brands you want aren't available! I really want to try Makeup Forever.
What lipstick and blush are you wearing?
I think it was 17 Mirror Shine On lipstick in Beehive and MAC Ladyblush cream blusher.
Your complexion is sooooo perfect!! Gorgeous girl!! God bless you!! <3
Thank you! x
What a lovely make up look xx just gorgeous xx
Sounds like a great foundation, it looks very natural on your skin.
btw i love your eye shape … so jealous 😛

Aw thank you!
Do you know what your MAC foundation colour is?
I'm trying to figure out if the Bourjois 52 or 53 is better for me.
I think I'm an NC25. I'm quite fair skinned to maybe a 52 would be better?
Thanks!
You kind of look like Jennifer Aniston in the second picture. Haha.
Hi! I love this foundation on your skin. I am about a NC20 in MAC, or 25 if I've a wedding and wanted more of a glow. I'm stuck between 51 & 52? Would you find the 52 quite light? I'm scared with the 51 in case it makes me ghostly looking, I would have yellow tones. Sorry for all the questions!! x
i love your lipstick shade here! what is it?
x
You are soo pretty. I have the same foundation but in beige clair 53.. this one looks better tho, so I might try shade vanilla next. x
thanks for the review! Will have to pick it up next time i'm in boots
