I really wanted to try the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation, after reading some rave reviews and seeing it in "Favourites posts" on many beauty blogs. As a massive Bourjois fan, I had an urge to buy the foundation as soon as it came out, but I had too many other products to use up.  I finally got a chance to try it and I absolutely love it as an everyday base!!! The gel formula is light, gives a natural finish and adds a hint of colour and radiance to my face. It gives light to medium coverage and has a yellow undertone which makes it perfect for my skin tone. (I got shade 53- Beige Clair- a warm medium beige shade). It is very easy to blend and I use my fingers or a buffing brush to apply it. I would recommend it for good skin days, because to me it feels and looks like a tinted moisturiser. If I use a concealer for breakouts and scars and add a little bit of powder, I am happy with the final effect and my makeup will stay in place all day. Without powdering, I get about 4-6 hours of wear out of it. The Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum is my favourite at the moment. It doesn't look cakey and it has  a light fruity scent, which I love. 

Overall, I would recommend it as a tinted moisturiser for good skin days, to add radiance and even out skin tone. It also comes with an added bonus of skin friendly, fruity goodness :)

I am obsessed with concealers and I am always looking for something better/new.
The Bourjois Touche Healthy Mix Concealer is the newest addition to my concealer family :)
It is a twist-pen with a brush applicator, very easy to use and fuss free.
It is meant to hide imperfections, but I only use it under my eyes.
It is light and easy to blend, doesn't settle into fine lines and doesn't look cakey.
It gives very sheer coverage, so it won't conceal blemishes or scarring, but it does a good job at illuminating dark circles, using light reflecting pigments. The shade I got (62) is too dark for my natural skin tone, but it is  perfect when I use fake tan. If I have extreme dark circles, I like to mix it with a full coverage concealer, like the original Bourjois Healhy Mix Concealer (in a tube).

Overall, I wouldn't classify this product as a concealer, I would call it an illuminating pen.
It gives sheer coverage and reflects light, but doesn't cover imperfections.
Just like the Healthy Mix foundation, it contains a unique blend of skin friendly vitamins.
