So while on one of my weekly trips to priceline, okay sometimes more like daily, I was browsing the aisle and looking at all the great deals. I came across the Bourjois area and looked at what the sale was. They currently have 25% off the whole range as well as a couple free gifts. First up is of you
spend $19 or more in one transaction on Bourjois products at
Priceline and receive a FREE gift valued at $45!The other is if you purchase the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation you receive a free Bourjois Healthy Balance Unifying Powder.
On my first trip I ended up purchasing:
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation- In shade 51- Light Vanilla
First up, this smells so good! It's slightly strange that a foundation can actually smell nice and fruity.
It offers light to medium coverage but is extremely long lasting, it leaves your skin looking hydrated and glowing without looking oily and I also found that even in my t-zone the foundation did not create a oily appearance which is rare. It gives your skin such a soft and smooth feel it is gorgeous! the packaging says that it includes fruit therapy, so i did my research: Apricot for radiance. Melon for hydration. Apple to protect your youth. It
is also enriched with crystalline pigments to even out the complexion
while letting in the natural light for that healthy looking glow. Its
soft, fresh texture easily blends onto the skin for a comfortable
flawless finish leaving you with beautiful, radiant and hydrated skin. Did I mention the SMELL! yum! Oh, also I do not reccomend this for super oily skin as they are hydrating and and may make your skin look too oily, Just remember everyones skin is different, I did not find it too oily but...
So, because i purchased the foundation I received the Bourjois Healthy Balance Unifying Powder for free. However the sales assistant said that I was not allowed to have the powder in my shade as the sticker had been removed, so they gave me the light bronze which is just a completely wrong colour for my skin. I thought that I could find other uses for it but.. I can't. However it was free and I ended up giving it to my mum.
As far as this product goes I do not have much to say... The smell is still better than most powders but because I am not using this product personally I won't comment on it any further.
The free gift I am super happy with! It is in the most gorgeous packaging! Like, seriously how cute is that can?!!!! Keep this in mind that they were both full sized products as well. So wow! Anyway... So inside was:
1. Bourjois Flower Perfection Translucent smoothing primer- "correcting airbrush action, beautified skin" This stuff feels like nothing i have ever felt before. At first touch it feels like a gel/cream but as you wipe it into your skin in turns into the most gentle powder texture you have ever felt. It really just glides on the skin and feels in the lines and softens them until they basically disappear. I think its safe to say that I love this stuff. However if you do have oily skin i would not recommend this as by the end of the day my t-zone does become shiny and this is the cause of that.
2. Part two of the free gift I love just as equally. It was the Bourjois Blush in shade 34/ Golden Rose. This is a baked blush and it is just the most perfect natural glowing blush. It is now my go to blush and I am in love. You can use a small amount to add a natural barely there tint and glow or add more to give a splash of gorgeous golden rose colour.
*this picture make the colour look more of a light baby pink, however it is more of a medium dusty rose with a ever so subtle gold tint.
On my second round I purchased the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation- In shade 52- Vanilla
There isn't a price difference between the products just a formula difference. I really like both formulas, but there is a difference. For people with oliy skin i would recommend the serum as this gives more of a mattifying finish and for those with dry skin this may enhance that dryness. The normal foundation definitely has more of a glowing finish that on oily skin could come across and being over oily however on dryer looking skin it does give off a nice natural radiance. The reason for having this in shades 51 and 52 is because if found that this serum had a lighter colour payoff than the normal foundation and the 51 in that formula was too light for me. When i purchased this I also received another free gift with the same products as before.
***25% off offer has now finished so these products are again full price at $32, however the free gift is still going until stocks run out ***
