Bourjois Serum and Vitamin C

Long time no post.. I've been a very busy mummy working on assignments for my degree whilst looking after my little lady. I promised a review of the Bourjois Serum so here goes!

 

I have combination skin which is very sensitive. I tend to stick to higher coverage high street foundations such as Revlon Colourstay for combination skin (one of my make up bag staples... until now!).  I decided to try out the healthy mix serum after reading a flurry of positive reviews on it - and I was not disappointed!  Juggling being a mother, fiance and a degree student, I usually don't get enough sleep, when I put this foundation on in this mornings my skin is woken up! Any grey is completely sapped out and my face is left looking fresh and peachy.  The colour is very complimenting to my skin tone, pinky foundation shades do not agree with me at all, I'd say my skin is more yellow toned.  The coverage is very light but it brightens my skin with does minimise the look of any imperfections.  Under eye circles and pores are airbrushed.  I tend to add a little concealer under the eyes though as the coverage isn't quite heavy enough for my liking in that area.  The foundation doesn't dry out my skin as some others do and yet doesn't make my skin feel oily or cause break outs.  I set my foundation with max factor infinity powder compact in porcelain and this usually means that the completed look will last most of the day, although it will need touching up. It is excellent value for money and the bottle has a handy pump dispenser which always gives you just the right amount!

I highly recommend this product for anyone with combination/sensitive/dull skin.

On a side note, I've been drinking effervescent vitamin c drinks, one a day as recommended, to boost my immune system and protect me againt winter colds/flu but also because vitamin c is good for healthy teeth skin hair and nails.  Away from the technicalities of how it works, I have definitely noticed a marked improvement in how I feel when I wake up in the mornings and recommend anyone suffering from winter blues join me in my daily sunshine drink!

Over and out for now... the ironing beckons!
