Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzer

Hey there lovelies!

I know I'm late on the chocolate flavoured bandwagon but I only tend to buy bronzers when I run out of my other one so please don't hate me! On to the review!!

I find the packaging to be a little tacky and not very sturdy at all. However I do love the little chocolate square embossing on the product, super cute!!

The smell is a very sweet chocolatey smell but not so overpowering I'm put off or feel like there's any heavy perfume that would harm my skin.

The product itself isn't all that impressive, I'm not getting the hype (sorry!). It is lovely and soft and blends well but there's just no pigmentation and really not any staying power for me. I bought it in the shade Medium so maybe I just needed a darker shade but I have to really swirl my brush around to pick up a decent amount of product. I'd say it gives a nice healthy glow to the face but it is definitely not strong enough for me to contour, paler people would find this perfect due to the matt brown shade. It's an okay product and I will continue to use it but it won't become my go-to bronzer. So gutted because I love Bourjois so much! 

You can try it for yourself at Superdrug for £7.99

My Favourite Blusher | Bourjois Cream Blush

This has been a very recent addition to my collection. I have a huge palette from Crown (see the full review here) and I've been loving the blushers in there but they're all pink based and I wanted something a little more peachy. Cue Bourjois Cream to Powder Blush in '02 Healthy Glow'.

I love Bourjois blushers anyway but I fancied a change from the usual powder blush so this little baby came home with me. Straight away I fell in love with it. I have used this every day since I bought it and I will be picking up another (if not all) of the other 3 shades on offer. 

The packaging is cute and perfect travel sized, plus I love a mirror in any product although I have no clue why. 

The colour is so pretty and just gives me a subtle healthy glow, I think the more peachy tones suit me a lot more than the pinker ones. It looks quite orange when you first apply it but once it's blended in it looks really natural. I use either my fingers or a Real Techniques contour brush (no clue why it just goes in nicer) to blend this onto the apples of my cheeks.

It did take a couple of goes to get used to working with this formula, it goes to powder quite quickly but the creaminess allows it to blend in so much nicer than any other blusher I've used. It also lasts ages! The recent heat has put all my make up to the test but this beauty has passed with flying colours so it will DEFINITELY be coming along with me to France next week.

You can pick this up for £7.99 here.

My Favourite Foundation | Bourjois Healthy Mix

What better way to start my Week of Beauty Favourites with the first make up product I put on my face of a morning. Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation has been a staple in my make up collection for years, I have tried different ones but nothing compares to this one and I have repurchased it countless times. 

Foundation is a really personal thing, everything looks different on everybody and everyone wants something different from their base. Personally, I like a medium coverage that gives me a nice glow without being shimmery or too cakey. I don't suffer with too many blemishes but I do have a lot of redness so I need something to combat this. 

Healthy Mix has a subtle fresh smell to it due to the fruit extracts in the formula. It is very light, with a fairly runny consistency. It blends quickly and easily into the skin, I use either my fingers or a Real Techniques buffing brush for a flawless finish. It doesn't block my pores like a lot of foundations do and I credit this as part of the reason why I don't suffer with too many spots or blemishes. 

It wears for around 6-8 hours on my skin, depending on how oily my skin is that day but I always use a powder over the top (at least on my T-Zone if not all over) and this definitely helps. It doesn't cling to the dry patches and I always get compliments on how fresh my skin looks whenever I use this.

The colour selection is quite limited, unfortunately, but I use number '52 Vanilla' and this does me pretty much all year round as it mixes nicely with a good bronzing powder.

For £9.99 this is my perfect foundation and it is going to take a lot to make me break this love affair. It is very easy to come by too, you can get it from boots here.
