You have no idea how helpful you are, Marnie, or as my husband calls you, 'my enabler' lol. I truly adore your reviews. You not only state why you like something, you state why you don't like something in a clear, detailed informative way. I, generally speaking, take other people's opinions with a grain of salt with few exceptions ~ you being one of those. I wish you were economically rewarded by the companies whose products you endorse that I buy because of you You're a class act Marnie TY
I purchased the Healthy Mix Foundation about 6 months ago after I saw one of your videos and it's been my holy grail ever since. I choose it over several of my other high end foundations. I have 2 backups because I don't want to be without. Great video!
This was one of the best foundation reviews I have seen on youtube. Thank you so much for your expertise. It is so nice to know the difference between the foundations.
I've been using (and loving) the Healthy Mix for a couple of years, but now that I've started a higher percentage of Retin-A and my face has a few dry patches, I decided to try the Serum formula in hopes it'd glide better over the flaky bits and help hydrate/disguise them. Sadly, that has not been the case for me. My skin still looks better with the original Healthy Mix. The Serum formula seems to grab onto the dry spots and get "powdery" looking around the areas where my skin is peeling. From now on, I will mix the two formulas until I empty the "Serum" bottle. When the time comes to repurchase, I'll get the original and pass on the gel/serum. I know you published this years ago, but still, thank you for comparing the formulas. It was very helpful.
I've found the 1-2-3 is great when mixed with my Pond's BB cream, otherwise it gets too dry. The serum also works well mixed with the cream. I wish they sold Bourjois in the States!
Marnie -- I have tried every foundation it seems and a SA I have known for a long time at Dior practically begged me to buy the Airflash foundation. So...I did and I am soo glad I did. For me it is the best foundation I've ever used. So, if you ever feel like splurging...I highly recommend it.
I moisturize like crazy!! Also, I like to add a bit more shimmer to the skin in the way of bronzer, blush, and highlighter. That way my skin doesn't look flat.
I have wanted to try Healthy Mix for quite a while and then they came out with the gel one and you came home with the 1-2-3 - confusing. So glad you did this video to explain each of them. Really, really big help!
My friend's visiting family in the U.K. and I put my order in for the Healthy Mix and the 123 in vanilla and light vanilla. I'm so excited to try them out!!
I loved it. The only reason I stopped wearing it was because my skin suddenly started breaking out when I wore it. It is pretty heavy coverage and it lasts forever. I'd recommend going to an EL counter and asking for a sample. They're very generous with their samples.
I'm so pleased that you did a video on the Bourjois foundations as I just recently picked up the Healthy Serum gel at my local Shopper's Drug Mart where I live in Canada, the only retailer that sells it over the counter here. I thought I was buying the Healthy Radiance one because the packaging is so similar. Anyway, I had to order the latter off EBay from the UK, and I'm anxious to receive it to compare. My skin is fair like yours and on the dry side. And I love Chanel foundations! :-)
I apologize if this has been suggested previously, I just bumped into your video and would like to share how I use my Healthy Mix Serum Foundation (53). I have dry skin and need a bit more coverage, so I mix my Double Wear- no more than a full drop, with the Serum (1/2 - 1/3 pump). This gives me a bit more for touch-ups. I probably get about 10 hours worth without setting it, but the coverage is impeccable, and it blends smoothly, allowing additional time to cover imperfections without rushing. Please let me know your thoughts, your video is very concise. I hope Lisa Eldridge complimented your review...it's that good.
+Marnie Goldberg. Please let me know how it works out for you, and also if you end up improving the coverage to suit you best in any way please let me know. Thanks for responding so quickly.
+Susana Hayden That's exactly how I'm planning to use it. I just ordered the Serum from the UK, and want to try it mixed with my Double Wear Light. My skin is dry, and I like a medium coverage, so your combo sounds perfect. Thank you for sharing your results.
Thanks for the thorough review. I ordered the 123 Perfect and the regular Healthy Mix from Asos. I have been using the 123 Perfect for a few days and love it. I have combination oily skin and love the matte finish and medium coverage. Side note on Asos - shipping was very fast, but disappointed in the packaging. The flimsy cardboard box was crushed when it arrived and there was no padding in the box. I was very surprised that the bottles were not broken since they are glass.
i was so sad too because i found about bourjois through here and i was so excited to see if i could find their foundations and then saw they stopped selling at ulta, i hope they bring it back one day!
Thanks so much for this! I live in Canada, and Bourjois is sold at Shoppers Drug Mart :) I've always been kind of intimidated by the huge selection, but you've helped me narrow it down to what I think would be the best pick for me & my skin.
I am so GLAD you put this last comment because that is what I was wondering. I have REALLY dry skin and I'm so glad to know that the Serum is the best one for really dry skin, because I have already ordered it through Amazon and it's on it's way!!! Thanks. any other tips for really dry skin would be greatly appreciated!!!
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum gel foundation is the bees knees. I am blown away by how good it is. I also have dry skin and it got me through the winter. Now I stalk the Shopper's Drug Marts in Canada that sell it and buy backups. Even at $27 dollars for drugstore it is worth it.
Just for your info and to give the point of you of a different skin type, my skin is a classic mixed complexion, meaning my T Zone can get kind of shiny which usually makes my foundation shift or like "float" on my skin (which is not a good look lol). I also tend to breakout a little bit on my chin, nose and between my eyebrows (i don't have acne but i do have some pimples on my t zone occasionally). Appart from my t-zone my skin is quite dry, and even "flaky" in the winter. I have blue/purple veins showing through my skin, especially around my eyes and my cheeks, that are very hard to cover because my skin is very thin and SO WHITE, almost grey lol. Atop of all of this I have the worst dark circles ever under my eyes. This has been shitty to deal with, but let me tell you, i LOVE the 123 perfect foundation. It helps A LOT to bring life into my face and to cover up any redness, veins, dark circles etc. It feels hydrating but mattifying at the same time. It is surprising how coverage it gives without looking cake-y, which is something i always want to avoid as thick-looking foundation is the worst and seems to bring out imperfections instead of hiding them. So soft and silky i love it
Thank you Marnie! That it's been your go to foundation for 2 yrs, speaks volumes. Thank you for giving us a site to shop at. I have ordered the dark beige and bronze and can't wait to try it! I got the NYX Terracotta as well! Thank you Marnie! Happy 4th!
Thank you for the info Marnie, I am going to try this now. As always you are so informative and your description bar contains everything i need. Love watching you
What I always apply here, under BB creams even, or under foundations is a very thick moisturizer (I have extremely dry skin) - I use Nivea in the blue tin. It's a very thick cream that can be greasy if you're not extremely dry skinned. But you can always apply it to elbows, feet, or knees, or other dry patches. It's amazing and I can't recommend it enough.
thanks for this great video. I'm going to give the 123 a try off to superdrug or boots tomorrow. If you ever get stuck for getting the product let me I'll am to ship it out to you Linda.
Hi MaryEllen - than you for the memory tip I shall definitely try that as I am very much a routine girl. There is a lot of samples packed into that Ipsy bag it really is good value. Thank you for sharing and hope you have a great week, big hugs, loves and xxxx
Thanks for the info. I love your videos. I have tried the HM serum and liked it for summer but I think I will definitely try the regular HM. I didn't even realize there were two different types because they looked similar.
The Real Techniques buffing face brush with the Bourjois Healthy Mix Radiance Reveal is literally heaven! ps. you've just convinced me to get the 1-2-3 Perfect one tomorrow!
I have been looking for the Bourjois here in the states..did a google search a couple of days ago and found the healthy mix on sears.com and drugstore.com..they were both out of the #52,so ended up buying it off of ebay from England. My sister brought me some back from France,a few months ago,in the shade #55,it was to dark for me..maybe in the summer I can use it. I can't wait to get my #52 from England! I hope is doesn't take forever.
You can buy it on eBay for the UK shopping takes about a week to 10 days. Love Bourjois and it should be more readily available both in Canada and the US
I don't have their powder, but it sets beautifully with almost any powder. The ones in my rotation right now are the Rimmel Stay Matte, Laura Mercier loose setting powder in Transparent, and the Sleek Luminous powder.
I thought it was expensive...but looking at the website....gee, that's really adorable! Thanks for the review. I'm 51 and still not happy with any foundations I've tried. Prof. Makeup Artist Lisa Eldridge recommended on her videos Bourjois foundation one for dry mature skin.
I would love to be able to find this foundation...I think the 123 would work for me seeing how I have oily skin...Thank you for sharing and I hope I can find this foundation somewhere...Thanks for putting up the links!!
Thank you for making this video. I've thought about trying out Bourjois foundation but living in the U.S., I can only get it online. Thanks again and I'll look up which one will work for me
Does all the packaging have same? Like the first one you showed that pushes the product up so you get as much use. I love Bourjois healthy mix foundation to and i'm ginger and use shade 52 its the first foundation (drugstore) that actually matched my skin tone, going to buy some tomorrow.
Thanks for the review! I bought the healthy mix and the 1-2-3 foundation through your link on ASOS....anxious to try it! A great review! Didn't know they were connected to Chanel either :)
Thank you for the awesome review! It's nice finally seeing a beauty youtuber talking about Boujour, iit's such a nice brand and your review was very informative! I swatched the 123 Perfect in a store the other day and was very positively surprised that the 52 shade matched my skin (then again I guess I'm a bit tanned because it's summer) and now I was very happy to know they also make a lighter shade!! Thank you once again!
thanks so much for this!! I'm going to the UK in a couple of weeks and I was unsure if to buy the Healthy Mix original or the serum...based on your review it seems the original one is the best for me!
New subscriber! your descriptions are excellent! I hope they sell Boujois healthy mix in Adelaide, Australia because I'll be on the hunt for it tomorrow! thankyou so much :)
Thanks marine I actually bought the perfect 123 after watching your last vid but I think it's the right one now as I have combo skin I didn't realise how many there were :)
Hi Marnie. I was watching some of your older videos, in which you tallked about the Estee Lauder double wear foundation. Do you still wear it? How would you compare that to the bourjois foundations? I have combination skin and i'm trying to decide.
Good review thanks. I really enjoy mine. I wear the serum variety as dies feel like I'm not wearing foundation. Compliments on your earrings; so unique! X Isi
Marnie thank you!! I got back from London and I purchased the healthy mix and love love it. Got 53 like you said love it, got it at boots 4 bottles for 29 pounds great deal! Hopefully it will last me a while. How long does a bottle last you? Love ya!!!
Agreed. There are two things DrunknGorgeous said that I disagree with. She was never in love with this guy, she was in love with the idea of being in love. Secondly, he didn't change after they got married. The signs were always there but she didn't want to see them.
Thanks for the review! i should try the 1-2-3 as i have oil breaking out on all my foundations about 1-2 hours after application! (so i must be leaning toward oily!) it also kind of sounds like Revlon CS!
Just discovering this video but very helpful. I’m going to try the original healthy mix. I’ve gone through a couple bottles of the serum version and it lays very nicely on my dry skin and is very natural looking, but I wouldn’t call it long wearing. Also if you don’t set it with a powder it transfers pretty bad.
I have used the life and looks website, and the shipping was actually pretty quick (I was getting the Healthy Mix Serum). Everything was packaged really really well, also.
It's a toss up between 51 or 52 (Light Vanilla or Vanilla). I don't mind going a bit lighter because I can always add bronzer to warm it up to my skin tone.
Drugstore.com and Walgreens.com have these now. I've used up my bottle of Healthy Mix (that I learned about from you, and love!); now thinking about trying the 10-hr sleep or serum foundation because, why not? They sound intriguing. BTW, they sell in packs of 2 bottles for 22.99 I think it is.
I bought the Healthy Mix Foundation based on seeing you talking about it, and I LOVE it, i have combo skin, i set it with powder and it works great, just wondering if you have tried the Healthy Balance Powder? Also, What powder do you recommend for setting the foundation? Thanks
The healthy mix and the serum are my favorite foundations that I have in my collection. I'm going to have to try the 123! Great overall review! Xx, Aileen
I'm using happy light foundationand i have combination skin, It works well for both my oily t zone and dry areas. I love the satin finish, its fantastic!
+Cottons 2007 Has it ever like highlighted/clung to any dry areas on your skin? I'm kinda in a dilemma ,not sure which one to buy : the original one or the gel serum? I have dry skin at times but can get spots near my upper brow area
I'm using the serum one and it gives sheer to medium coverage. Although I have dry skin. I would say the healthy mix serum foundation is the ideal for those who already have nice face skin. Enjoy!!!
I didn't read all the comments, so someone might've already posted that Costco in the US sells a Bourjois foundation kit. I've seen it NM, so I'm sure you can find it in TX.
Great video Marnie, I have a question, and I would really appreciate your help, which setting power do you use? I have dry skin also, and most setting powers are not dry skin friendly!! Thank you in advance for any help you can give me :-)
Super informative Marnie:))) thank you very much for this and the time and information you put into this video:) I will have to try this brand now, I have a shoppers drug mart about 3 min drive away, not always a good thing LOL, like most women LOVE the drug stores and could wander around in those forever!!!! Enjoy your day!!
Have you tried out their BB cream? There isn’t a lot of reviews on it, and I cannot decide wether to buy the healthy mix serum or the BB cream! Very informative video btw:)
hi marnie! thank you for making this vid, it helped a ton. also which foundation brush is your fave out of the ones you mentioned? beauty blender, real technique face brush or sigma f80?!
So sorry for spamming your channel, rereading it now, it really was a lot but I just wanted you to get a clear idea of what was going on and if I hadn't mentioned it before, we got married on February 18, 2012. Also in relevance to your video I did purchase the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation in shade 55 and it's great.
now the site is calling the shades by name, not number. Ughh, I am assuminh 53 is light beige and 54 dark beige? I am struggling to choose between the two. Light beige swatch looks alot like vanilla......... ughh, decisions,. decisions...... happy to be getting 20% off today though!!! your timing of this video is PERFECT!!!! I wlll probably get two
I really love to see your videos, you review wonderful ! I also nc 20 in mac . The color matches my skin tone perfectly but it oxidized on me after two hours and become more orange. does it happens to you too? I can't wait to try this one... Thank you! xoxo
Hi, I like the healthy mix serum, I have dry skin (no flaking except around the eyes) and it adds coverage and radiance. I use my fingers- if I smooth it out with a duo fiber brush, my skin looks healthy; it starts to look dewy when it's built up. Bit drying with no moisturising base. I was interested in the Flower Gel range, too. Haven't tried those yet. Question- how do you make the matte foundation work for you? I want to make Chanel Perfection Lumiere work for me. Any recommendations?Thanks!
I would love to try the Healthy Mix but am paranoid about ordering a foundation online without seeing it first. I am NW20 - perhaps another of your subscriber's is the same & has ordered the Healthy Mix & could tell me what color they ordered & if it worked for them? Thanks so much Marnie! Happy 4th!
Life and looks.com! Thanks so much for this website, in Australia the foundations cost $31.95 at Priceline, on life and looks it's half the pice. Thankyou thankyou thankyou!! Xx
Wait, MsGoldgirl what about the Bourjois newest flower perfectection??? I really want to see a review on that because the 1 youtuber I seen use it, looks lovely with it on but id like to hear more opinions ...
What a great, comparative review! I have only tried the HM serum and the regular, not the 1-2-3 Perfect, and I agree with you, the non-serum one is the one I prefer too, satin finish and med coverage on my dry skin. Oh, and did you see that Emily (emilynoel83) commented on this video? How cool is that? :)
I LOVE the Healthy Mix Serum - I live in France now so am totally stockpiling that stuff for when I move back to the States. Have you tried the 10 Hour Sleep foundation? I guess they are discontinuing that one, but I really love that one, as well - kind of a bit runny, but that was my go-to foundation for years before the Healthy Mix Serum came out - now that is my fav!
Oh I will!!! They seem to do a lot of really good discounts on their French website, so waiting for a good reduction and then am gonna order like mad!!! I really want to try that 123 foundation now, looks nice!
I loved outlander. I'm on the second book already...I've been wanting to try their foundations. I'm glad you mentioned the scent. I am going to have to check ingredient lists for fragrance. I can only speak for myself. Fragrance is an issue for me, because I have sensitive skin. When I use products with fragrance I typically get red, blotchy, and breakout. It's pretty unattractive.
You have no idea how helpful you are, Marnie, or as my husband calls you, 'my enabler' lol. I truly adore your reviews.

I do this as well but I mix with Estee Lauder maximum cover foundation. work really well together
Thanks for the thorough review. I ordered the 123 Perfect and the regular Healthy Mix from Asos. I have been using the 123 Perfect for a few days and love it. I have combination oily skin and love the matte finish and medium coverage. Side note on Asos - shipping was very fast, but disappointed in the packaging. The flimsy cardboard box was crushed when it arrived and there was no padding in the box. I was very surprised that the bottles were not broken since they are glass.
I have bought all 3 based on your haul videos and I LOVE them!! I have oily oily skin and right now with hot days I love the 123!!! Love your videos!
i was so sad too because i found about bourjois through here and i was so excited to see if i could find their foundations and then saw they stopped selling at ulta, i hope they bring it back one day!
You'll be able to test them in the stores (so much better in the UK!), but it sounds like the 53 will be a good match.
Thanks so much for this! I live in Canada, and Bourjois is sold at Shoppers Drug Mart :) I've always been kind of intimidated by the huge selection, but you've helped me narrow it down to what I think would be the best pick for me & my skin.
She uses the Healthy Mix and the Healthy Mix Serum. I have dry skin and prefer the regular Healthy Mix, but the Serum is good for really dry skin.

Bourjois is a m a z i n g ,their blushes..omg!they last forever...meaning 2-3 years can you imagine?They have lots of great and quality stuff!
Can you please do a video on your skin care routine?? Your skin is amazing!!
Very helpful! And it was also helpful that you mentioned you had dry skin, which puts things into context!
Excellent review....your skin looks great! i may be a convert to the whole shaving the face thing. Wow!

I saw and did a happy dance. My husband thinks I'm a bit mental. :) You're so lucky to be able to run to the store whenever you want and buy Bourjois!

Adore Bourjois! Thank you for the review, keep us posted if you are extending your collection. Do you have any experience with their concealers?
Thank you for making this video. I've thought about trying out Bourjois foundation but living in the U.S., I can only get it online. Thanks again and I'll look up which one will work for me

Thank you once again!
thanks so much for this!! I'm going to the UK in a couple of weeks and I was unsure if to buy the Healthy Mix original or the serum...based on your review it seems the original one is the best for me!
New subscriber! your descriptions are excellent! I hope they sell Boujois healthy mix in Adelaide, Australia because I'll be on the hunt for it tomorrow! thankyou so much :)
I'm leaving to London on the 15th I will try the 123 foundation just to try it. I love the heathy mix I use that one to.
Thanks marine I actually bought the perfect 123 after watching your last vid but I think it's the right one now as I have combo skin I didn't realise how many there were :)
Hi Marnie. I was watching some of your older videos, in which you tallked about the Estee Lauder double wear foundation. Do you still wear it? How would you compare that to the bourjois foundations? I have combination skin and i'm trying to decide.
Good review thanks. I really enjoy mine. I wear the serum variety as dies feel like I'm not wearing foundation. Compliments on your earrings; so unique!

lovely comparison! have you mixed up, and how do they wear then?
Marnie thank you!! I got back from London and I purchased the healthy mix and love love it. Got 53 like you said love it, got it at boots 4 bottles for 29 pounds great deal! Hopefully it will last me a while. How long does a bottle last you? Love ya!!!
Agreed. There are two things DrunknGorgeous said that I disagree with. She was never in love with this guy, she was in love with the idea of being in love. Secondly, he didn't change after they got married. The signs were always there but she didn't want to see them.
This was incredibly informative for someone who has zero knowledge about those foundations!! Thank you! You rock, Marnie! :D Happy 4th!
Thanks for the review! i should try the 1-2-3 as i have oil breaking out on all my foundations about 1-2 hours after application! (so i must be leaning toward oily!) it also kind of sounds like Revlon CS!
I know!! They used to carry it at Ulta!
Great information in this video! I have the healthy mix foundation and love it! Xo Jada
Just discovering this video but very helpful. I’m going to try the original healthy mix. I’ve gone through a couple bottles of the serum version and it lays very nicely on my dry skin and is very natural looking, but I wouldn’t call it long wearing. Also if you don’t set it with a powder it transfers pretty bad.
I have used the life and looks website, and the shipping was actually pretty quick (I was getting the Healthy Mix Serum). Everything was packaged really really well, also.
Hi I just wanted to let you know I mix the serum with the 123 I also have very dry skin and it works great that way for me !
It's a toss up between 51 or 52 (Light Vanilla or Vanilla). I don't mind going a bit lighter because I can always add bronzer to warm it up to my skin tone.
Drugstore.com and Walgreens.com have these now. I've used up my bottle of Healthy Mix (that I learned about from you, and love!); now thinking about trying the 10-hr sleep or serum foundation because, why not? They sound intriguing. BTW, they sell in packs of 2 bottles for 22.99 I think it is.
I have been so curious about these foundations. Thank you for the reviews!
Yay! I was hoping you'd do this video. Very thorough reviews. Thanks so much, Alycia
I bought the Healthy Mix Foundation based on seeing you talking about it, and I LOVE it, i have combo skin, i set it with powder and it works great, just wondering if you have tried the Healthy Balance Powder? Also, What powder do you recommend for setting the foundation?
Thanks
The healthy mix and the serum are my favorite foundations that I have in my collection. I'm going to have to try the 123! Great overall review! Xx, Aileen
I'm using happy light foundationand i have combination skin, It works well for both my oily t zone and dry areas. I love the satin finish, its fantastic!
+Cottons 2007 Has it ever like highlighted/clung to any dry areas on your skin? I'm kinda in a dilemma ,not sure which one to buy : the original one or the gel serum? I have dry skin at times but can get spots near my upper brow area
+Serena Malder hi, i,ve only used happy light and it has not clung to my dry patches. Its great!
+meiltoo ohh okay that's good :) thanks
Thanks for the review. I wanted to compare the 123 to the others. I love mixing the serum with the healthy mix. All around great brand.
I'm using the serum one and it gives sheer to medium coverage. Although I have dry skin. I would say the healthy mix serum foundation is the ideal for those who already have nice face skin. Enjoy!!!
I didn't read all the comments, so someone might've already posted that Costco in the US sells a Bourjois foundation kit. I've seen it NM, so I'm sure you can find it in TX.
I have to tell u somethin, u are beautiful and pretty with or without foundation and make up.u have a natural rare beauty
Great video Marnie, I have a question, and I would really appreciate your help, which setting power do you use? I have dry skin also, and most setting powers are not dry skin friendly!! Thank you in advance for any help you can give me :-)
Super informative Marnie:))) thank you very much for this and the time and information you put into this video:) I will have to try this brand now, I have a shoppers drug mart about 3 min drive away, not always a good thing LOL, like most women LOVE the drug stores and could wander around in those forever!!!! Enjoy your day!!
Have you tried out their BB cream? There isn’t a lot of reviews on it, and I cannot decide wether to buy the healthy mix serum or the BB cream!
Very informative video btw:)
hi marnie! thank you for making this vid, it helped a ton. also which foundation brush is your fave out of the ones you mentioned? beauty blender, real technique face brush or sigma f80?!
So sorry for spamming your channel, rereading it now, it really was a lot but I just wanted you to get a clear idea of what was going on and if I hadn't mentioned it before, we got married on February 18, 2012. Also in relevance to your video I did purchase the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation in shade 55 and it's great.
now the site is calling the shades by name, not number. Ughh, I am assuminh 53 is light beige and 54 dark beige? I am struggling to choose between the two. Light beige swatch looks alot like vanilla......... ughh, decisions,. decisions...... happy to be getting 20% off today though!!! your timing of this video is PERFECT!!!! I wlll probably get two
I really love to see your videos, you review wonderful ! I also nc 20 in mac . The color matches my skin tone perfectly but it oxidized on me after two hours and become more orange. does it happens to you too? I can't wait to try this one... Thank you! xoxo
Marnie, would you say the 51 or 52 is a better match right now?
Hi, I like the healthy mix serum, I have dry skin (no flaking except around the eyes) and it adds coverage and radiance. I use my fingers- if I smooth it out with a duo fiber brush, my skin looks healthy; it starts to look dewy when it's built up. Bit drying with no moisturising base. I was interested in the Flower Gel range, too. Haven't tried those yet. Question- how do you make the matte foundation work for you? I want to make Chanel Perfection Lumiere work for me. Any recommendations?Thanks!
I always look forward to your videos. Hope you have a Happy 4th of July!!
I would love to try the Healthy Mix but am paranoid about ordering a foundation online without seeing it first. I am NW20 - perhaps another of your subscriber's is the same & has ordered the Healthy Mix & could tell me what color they ordered & if it worked for them? Thanks so much Marnie! Happy 4th!
Life and looks.com!
Thanks so much for this website, in Australia the foundations cost $31.95 at Priceline, on life and looks it's half the pice.
Thankyou thankyou thankyou!!
Xx
u can get bourjois in pretty much all drugstores in canada
Love healthy mix! Looks better on me than my Chanel lumiere x
Wait, MsGoldgirl what about the Bourjois newest flower perfectection??? I really want to see a review on that because the 1 youtuber I seen use it, looks lovely with it on but id like to hear more opinions ...
Healthy Mix works amazing for me and I have super oily skin, comparable to Mac Studio Fix Fluid, just slightly less coverage. I'm 51 in it too (:
Do you know if this brand has a good foundation for oily skin? I love Chanel foundations!!!! Thx
What a great, comparative review! I have only tried the HM serum and the regular, not the 1-2-3 Perfect, and I agree with you, the non-serum one is the one I prefer too, satin finish and med coverage on my dry skin. Oh, and did you see that Emily (emilynoel83) commented on this video? How cool is that? :)
Thanks, Emily!! Happy 4th to you, Tyler and Cupcake!
I LOVE the Healthy Mix Serum - I live in France now so am totally stockpiling that stuff for when I move back to the States. Have you tried the 10 Hour Sleep foundation? I guess they are discontinuing that one, but I really love that one, as well - kind of a bit runny, but that was my go-to foundation for years before the Healthy Mix Serum came out - now that is my fav!
I haven't tried it, but if it's discontinued, I don't even want to like it!! Buy as much Bourjois as you can now!!
Oh I will!!! They seem to do a lot of really good discounts on their French website, so waiting for a good reduction and then am gonna order like mad!!! I really want to try that 123 foundation now, looks nice!
I think that one might be my favorite!
I loved outlander. I'm on the second book already...I've been wanting to try their foundations. I'm glad you mentioned the scent. I am going to have to check ingredient lists for fragrance. I can only speak for myself. Fragrance is an issue for me, because I have sensitive skin. When I use products with fragrance I typically get red, blotchy, and breakout. It's pretty unattractive.
great review :) very detailed and informative! Love your channel xx
