First Impressions: Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

Hello!
Last week I picked up a couple of new foundations as my beloved L'oreal True Match was on it's way out... I didn't want to rebut it just yet as foundations are something I never really try out and experiment with so I thought it was time to try some new ones!

I picked up the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation as I personally prefer a more dewy look and I've heard so many bloggers and friends rave about it. I've tried it out a few times now and it's definitely become my new everyday foundation. It is incredibly dewy and like the name states does give your skin a healthy glow. At first, the shade I picked seemed slightly yellow but once the rest of my makeup was done it matched my skin perfectly. 

Even though it is meant to be a dewy finish, I think that this foundation definitely needs a powder over it as it can look slightly wet. Because of this it almost mixes with my concealer so I make sure to powder before I add any more layers. This foundation has now become a staple in my collection and I would definitely recommend it! I picked it up for £9.99 at Superdrug UK which for a foundation didn't seem to expensive. 

I would definitely recommend this to anyone however it will work best will normal/dry and dry skin types. What foundation have you guys been loving? I'd love to try some more dewy finish foundations out!

Hope you enjoyed/found this useful!

Empties - February 2015

Hi Guys!
I've been planning on doing this post for a while now but wanted to add at least more thing to the pile so finally here is my EMPTIES post! Ive collected these now for about 2 months but threw away 4 mascaras completely forgetting to add them to the pile! I keep all of my empties in a bag and plan on doing a post every so often when the pile builds up, letting you know if i'd repurchase or not, so here's what I've got....

NYX HD Concealer
Repurchase

If it wasn't for the fact that this concealer is ALWAYS sold out in my shade online I would have definitely repurchased by now. One of my favourite concealers I've ever used and for such a great price. It's incredibly creamy and covers dark circles and blemishes perfectly. 

MAC Fix+ (x2)
Repurchased

I've mentioned Fix+ before in my MAC Starter kit but I honestly couldn't live without it! I constantly using it on face brushes and on my beauty blender just to get a more dewy finish to the skin and I think that as long as I live I will always repurchase fix+!

MAC Brush Cleanser (x2)
Repurchased

I have already repurchased this but I think just out of ease. Obviously it does the job and it does it well but i'm looking to try a cheaper alternative to this seeing as I go through it like water, so let me know in the comments if you can recommend any good inexpensive brush cleansers!
Benefit They're Real Sample

Repurchased

I got this mini sample in a benefit sample sized kit and knew I immediately wanted it in the full size so it went straight on my Christmas list! Obviously a cult favourite and for good reason, it thickens and lengthens so well and is probably the one mascara I get the most compliments on when I wear!

MAC Foundation
Repurchased

This is quite old now but i'd been saving it to do Back To MAC for so long and just put it away and forgot about it! Mine's in the shade NW20 and I repurchased it quite a while back. It really does give good coverage and look flawless but recently when I've been wearing it my skin reacts so bad and just flares up in a rash so I think i'm definitely going to stay of this for a while and keep experimenting with drugstore foundations.

Lush Ocean Salt
Might repurchase 

The only reason I think I might repurchase this scrub is for the smell. It is to DIE for and just smells like summer cocktails! Naturally being Lush it is expensive and I feel I could get a decent scrub for half the price which will do the job! However if you aren't on a budget it is a lovely face and body scrub none the less. 

MAC Eyeshadow - All That Glitters
Won't repurchase 

This shadow has truly been through the wars. I got this back in 2013 or maybe even earlier and I had depoted the shadow and just kept the pot for doing Back To MAC. Sadly when I went on holiday I took my MAC palette and this shadow completely smashed :( I managed to use what was left of it for quite a while and although being a beautiful colour, I'm starting to explore cheaper alternative brands to MAC shadows such as Morphe Brushes and Makeup Geek and because of this and only this I don't think I will be repurchasing this shadow for a least a very long time. 


So that's all of my empties for now! I'm definitely now making a conscious effort to keep empty products instead of just throwing them away. Is there anything that you always have in your empties pile? Clearly recently for me it's been a lot of MAC! Hope you enjoyed this post.
