Review || Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation and Healthy Balance Unifying Powder

Assalamualaikum

Hello there!

Bourjois makes their debut to Malaysia on June 2014. It is a famous and trusted brand in UK. I knew about this brand through Lisa Eldridge's YT channel. She loves the foundation so much. Thus, I bought my foundation based on her recommendation. I bought two of their face products which are Healthy Mix Serum Foundation and Healthy Balance Powder.




Healthy Mix Serum Foundation

I'm in love with this foundation. It is a little bit pricey-er than the original Healthy Mix Foundation. It cost me RM57.90 per bottle. You get a good size of 30 ml and it came with a pump. The bottle it a plus point to me as it do not take up much space. I can fit it into my mini drawer of makeup. It is light in weight so that it is easy for travel. I don't really like bringing glass bottle foundation for travel. It is heavy. Healthy Mix Serum Foundation have a gel-like consistency. It is easy to work with and the smell! Please. I'm a sucker at this. I love the smell so much!

It offers light - medium coverage and a semi-matte finish. It works best on prep-ed skin. Sometimes it does cling on my dry patches provided that my dry patches are horrid. It does stays on the skin for a good 8 hours. I personally never experience wearing makeup for more than 8 hours. This doesn't cause me breakout.




Healthy Balance Unifying Powder

In the search of a good long lasting mattifying powder, I take the risk to try this. This cost me RM 43.90. That is a lot for a powder. But, I feels it is worth to invest on this powder because I happened to not like the previous two powder by Maybelline and Catrice. Oh, I am ruining the review. As you girls can guess, I like this powder very much. It didn't give a lot of coverage. I like it because I do not search for any high coverage powder anyway.

The texture is very soft and the smells is just great! If you love Healthy Mix Foundation's scent, you will be liking this too. It doesn't come with any applicator. You have to have your own applicator. I like using brush as it only gives me low coverage and it helps mattify my skin. At the same time, it does not give me any flat matte look. I can still see the dewy finish that my foundation gives me.

In terms of lasting power, I do find it stays for quite a long time. I normally would keep my makeup for 8 hours max. I normally do not bother to touch up my powder. It do not stay matte like the first couple of hours but it does help keep my skin healthy.

Overall, I totally highly recommend Bourjois Healthy Balance Unifying Powder and Healthy Mix Serum Foundation to everyone. It doesn't cause me breakout and it stays on the face for a nice 8 hours at least.



Thank you for stopping by! Good Luck <3

Review || Super Wow Stick - Maria from I Heart Makeup Makeup Revolution

Assalamualaikum


Hello there!

I should had mention that I am a lippy girl. I have a lot of lipsticks and there are some lipsticks that have the same colour but gives a different finishes. I love lipsticks sooo much and I really love bold colour lips. Recently, I purchased a lipstick called Super Wow Stick from I Heart Makeup which is a sister company of Makeup Revolution. I am interested in the shade Maria while I am watching a swatch video on YT.

Pardon me with the pixelated images. I do not wish to reveal the colour on my lips just yet. 

This is what the box looks like.

The packaging is very slim for a lipstick. The size is slimmer than the normal lip jumbo / lip crayon sold in the market.

The size is just perfect for the lips. Since it is a dark colour, I can easily line the lips and fill it in using the same product. I don't need and lip liner to get the job done.

The colour swatch smooth on the hand but it is a bit drying on the lips. I suggest applying lip balm / olive oil before applying this lipstick. It have a matte finishes and the colour does not transfer. I personally like this colour but I am not brave enough to wear it on its own. I think this could help in making an ombre lips. It could be blend with either red,plum or even pink. I end this post with lip swatch of this colour for better view. 

Thanks for reading! 

Good luck
