Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation Reviews

Love this Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation in Light Vanilla. It is one of my favorites of about 10 foundations I rotate around (I know I'm obsessed).
This is my go to natural look for a day when the weather is cool as I'm a sweater and this foundation doesn't wear well in sweaty humid weather or with overly oily skin.
Luckily the texture is perfect for my sensitive normal to dry to combination in summer skin. Phewww! I love the yellow tone as it conceals my redness. I do have to colour blend the shade down a bit as I'm very pale. The sweet soft scent doesn't irritate and I love the pump packaging.
I stick to applying with fingers due to the light texture.

This is one of the very first foundations I ever bought and is still one of my favourite. The color match is perfect that it doesn't look like I'm wearing make-up. It leaves my skin looking fresh and dewy and the skin still shows through which i love. The pleasant scent and pump makes it very practical. I use my hands for everyday use and it applys smoothly. However you can build up the coverage by using brush. I do not use powder on top as I like the dewy finish. It does not cake or dry out my already dry skin. Price wise it is on a higher range if you compare other drugstore foundations but I still prefer this over many other thus i always buy it on sale.

I purchased this as it has such rave reviews online and I found it on sale for a great price.
I'm always looking for a good,reasonably priced foundation and have tried most on the market at this point.
I got this one in the shade vanilla as it seemed the lightest and closest to my skin tone.
I absolutely loved the fruity scent of this foundation! Best scented foundation I've come across. The texture was not really gel like,quite a runny liquid which I personally found a bit hard to blend into my combination skin as this foundation really doesn't "stick" . I felt straight away that this foundation would be more suitable to dry skin types after that. It is so hydrating! I love that it also contains skin beneficial ingredients helping to heal your skin while it leaves it radiant and more even.
The foundation provided me lightweight coverage that left my skin looking very dewy and fresh. It didn't really conceal any redness I had but did even out the rest of my complexion.
The shade was a bit too yellow based for me and looked a little odd but would be great for warmer, more olive skin tones.
This foundation unfortunately isn't a fit for me personally as I need a little more coverage,a little more matte and a little more cool toned.

I was on the hunt for a foundation that was amazing but still in my price range when i came around this in my local Priceline and thought I'd give it a go ! I'm so glad I did I now have it in 3 shades that's how much I love it . The best part is that it's so light and weightlight on the skin and actually let's your skin be it's own and its give this beautiful glowy look so obsessed!

For the longest time I heard people rave about this foundation but never bothered to try it because I had never found a lower-end foundation to suit me. However, the Healthy Mix Serum does! It ticks all the boxes! It's light-weight, has a great, dewy but skin-like finish, smells divine, and most of all, is cheap!!! I've gotten many compliments whenever I have worn this foundation and it also has boosted my confidence as I don't have to pile on the product.

I do hope that Bourjois do expand the shade range though, as they only have a few shades and definitely does not suit a majority of skin tones. Although Shade 53 suited me during the winter, I have had to change foundations during the summer as their shade range does not cater to many, hence the loss of a star in this review.

After reading all the reviews, I grabbed this on sale to try out. Out of all the foundations I've tried, this one has worked the best for me so far.

It has good coverage, and made my skin overall look a bit more even. I found that this wasn't exactly hydrating, but neither was it drying. It didn't feel heavy on the skin, and it allowed some of your natural skin to show through.

The bottle it comes in has a nice feel to it, although not a sturdy glass bottle, it didn't seem flimsy at all. Having a pump mad with easier to dispense product as well as keeping it hygenic.

This is my all time favourite foundation. I would highly recommend it to people looking for a natural looking, my skin but better, foundation. It gives a very youthful appearance and is lightweight.
Pros:
-smells like tropical fruits
-blends like a dream
-isn't cakey
-good for dry skin because it doesn't cling to dry patches
-doesn't burn my sensitive skin
-looks natural-it has a very buildable light to medium coverage, depending on the utensil used to apply it
-great for everyday wear
-no spf so it doesn't cause flashback for night time photos
-gives a beautiful, youthful glow/dewy finish
-is lightweight so it doesn't feel heavy on the skin at all

Cons: -only 5 shades available. I really wish they would make it in medium beige as they do with the non serum version of this foundation
-no spf so it doesn't protect against the sun
-isn't long wearing

I have oily skin, and although this suits dry skinned people better, setting it with a powder gets the job done.

I first tried this years ago because I remember a youtuber was raving about it being incredible for dry skin. Well, back then I had very dry skin and didn't moisturise very much, so I figured that could be why I remembered it being so dry and crusty looking on my face. So, I decided to buy it again and give it another go because I had a great skincare routine and my skin was no longer dry, it was combination. Well, exactly the same thing happened. My skin looked dry and flaky despite having no dryness on my skin, so I started to wonder what could the problem be. I then realised it looked so dry on my skin because it was grabbing to all of the peach fuzz on my face and emphasizing it like crazy, which was making my skin look dry as the desert. I then tried shaving the peach fuzz off my face and using it again, and then it clung to all the blunt hairs. In short, this foundation is horrible and I will never buy it again.

I have been struggling recently with dry skin through the winter. I found that i just started to hate wearing foundation because my skin just felt so dry and uncomfortable. I have been using colourstay for dry skin, but it was just terrible. So I did a bit of research and this foundation came highly recommended, and it does not dissapoint.

Pros:
- easy to apply with fingers, spreads well and plenty of time to buff it in
- light/medium coverage, but medium with 2 layers. I don't usually like full coverage so this is perfect.
- actually lasts the full shift at work 8-10 hrs
- does not dry out skin
- does not settle into lines or around dry patches
- looks smooth, soft and even
- slightly dewy but not shiny or slipper, I think it could work for oily skin types too
- absolutely love this foundation

Cons:
- can't think of any :)
