NEW BOURJOIS RADIANCE REVEAL HEALTHY MIX FOUNDATION REVIEW

Bourjois Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix Foundation Review - £9.99

Today I will be giving you my thoughts on the  New Bourjois Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix Foundation which I bought a few weeks ago. All of the foundations in the Bourjois Healthy Mix Range are well known for being fabulous so I was excited to finally get my hands on one. 

I haven't tried the original Healthy Mix or the Serum version but I decided to pick this up as I felt it would work best with my skin type. I like that they've put this in a glass bottle, even if it is a little bit less practical, and the fact that it has a pump is always a winner for me.

This foundation promises to give you a glow for 16 hours. When you first apply this, it makes your skin look incredible. It blends beautifully and really makes your skin look flawless. It does provide quite good coverage considering it isn't at all a heavy foundation. My skin tone looked really even and almost blurred, and my cheeks looked perky and fresh. This worked exceptionally well on my dehydrated, after-skiing skin but I'm finding it to works just fine on my now combination skin. 

I wouldn't quite agree that this lasts for 16 hours but it just about does me a full 9-5 day at work. That being said, I like the finish a lot more than any of my other foundations. I was shocked to find that I wasn't the lightest shade and I actually picked up shade 53 which gives me a nice hint of colour, without looking orange. 

Overall, I highly recommend this foundation and i'm annoyed that I didn't pick it up sooner. It has far overtaken any of my higher end foundations and is getting a LOT of use. I would quite like to try the serum version but I am very happy to finally have this in my routine.

AMIE BRIGHT EYES VERY GENTLE EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

AMIE BRIGHT EYES VERY GENTLE EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

Amie Bright Eyes Very Gentle Eye Makeup Remover - £4.75* - Also available at Waitrose and John Lewis. 

Since Boots decided to reinvent their Botanics range, I have been on the hunt for something to replace their soothing eye makeup remover which quickly became my all-time-favourite; until they changed the formula. Trial and error has taught me that there isn't many low- budget products which do the job as effectively as this one did so when I was offered the opportunity to trial Amie's Bright Eyes Very Gentle Eye Makeup Remover I was very happy to accept. 

Amie is a pure and natural brand, aiming to harmonise and balance the skin. Their ingredients list is very pleasing to see with lots of natural goodness and minimal nasties. Their website claims that they do not contain any parabens, mineral oils, petrochemicals, SLS and no ingredients of genetically modified origin. 

So how does the product live to up expectations? Well, if anything I think I like this more!

Your makeup is removed effortlessly with no rubbing or tugging in sight. It feels just like water on your skin, leaving no trace of oil or product behind. It smells lovely but because it is so gentle it leaves your eyes feeling clean and refreshed but not dry or tight. I tend to use one small cotton pad for each eye because I find this gets it off very efficiently.

Would I recommend this product? Yes totally! I'm super glad I tried it out as Amie is a brand I haven't heard much about but I can see myself repurchasing this many times. It has become a staple on my skincare shelf and I am definitely going to check out more by the brand
