    How much does it retail for: S$34.90 (30ml)

    How much did I pay it for: £6 (about S$12)

    Where did I get it/where can I get it: I bought it on sale from ASOS.com; thankfully it’s the right shade! They have since ran out of 54, damn right should have bought another bottle.

    Bourjois is available in major departmental stores in Singapore (Metro, John Little, Robinsons, BHG and others), selective personal care stores (Watsons, Guardian and others).

    What I feel about it:

    I have heard many great reviews on this foundation and decided to get it since it was just £6 on ASOS.com. I love that it came with a pump, so no pouring out liquid foundation onto the back of your hand (think Clinique SuperBalanced Makeup). There is also a nifty vacuum pump in the bottle which ensures little wastage (brilliant!)!

    Scent: This foundation is scented; the smell is nice and of apricots. However, it’s quite an obvious scent, those who are apprehensive about smells should go check it out at Bourjois counters.

    Texture: When pumped out, the foundation is just the right consistency, not too thick and gel-like yet not too thin and watery. I use about a pump and a half on my already moisturised face. It can be worked easily onto slightly moisturised skin with a brush or your fingers. I use ELF’s Flat Top Brush (a winner).

    Coverage:The HealthyMix foundation is of medium coverage and easily build-able. Those who look for a light coverage may opt for one pump (or less); for a heavier coverage, just layer more on! Word of caution: do not over apply foundation. (Not that I have tried to, but I personally do not prefer too thick a layer of foundation on the skin!)
    This foundation stays relatively well on my skin and lasting almost a whole day out. It may not be that long-living given a humid and sweat-inducing environment.

    Finish: It gives a dewy finish, like healthy skin! Not overly glowy as there are not light reflecting particles in it. Great to blend concealer and cream products with! I wear this almost everyday.
