This anti-fatigue
foundation and powder from Bourjois is enriched with vitamins.
Healthy Mix Foundation in 51 Light Vanilla
This
foundation has a vitamin blend of B5, E and C. Vitamin B5 helps prevent
redness and inflammation on your skin, it is also an antioxidant and helps to
keeps your skin moisturized. Vitamin E has moisturizing and healing benefits
and helps to protect your skin from environmental stressors such as air pollution
and sun damage. Vitamin C helps promote collagen production in your skin and also
brightens your dark spots. This formula also has hyaluronic acid in it, which holds a thousand times its weight in water and helps to keep your skin
hydrated.
The foundation
also has spherical powders that blur out imperfections by creating a
soft-focused effect on your skin. It is
suited for all skin types, is non-comedogenic and gives you medium, buildable
coverage with a semi-matte finish.
The
foundation has a pump on it which makes it easy for application. When I pumped
out the product I noticed that it has a strong fruity, floral smell to it that
lasts for hours. When I applied it with my sponge, it went on really nice and
smooth. After I applied it I noticed that it gave me a natural, matte finish and it made
my skin look smooth. After a few hours I did notice that it did sink a little
bit into my pores. By the end of the day I noticed that I still looked matte
and the foundation didn’t move at all. I used this foundation both with and without
primer and/ or powder. I also used different powders with it.
No matter
how I wore this foundation it still looked good at the end of the day with my dry
skin. The only thing I didn’t like is that my face did feel a little bit dry
by the end of the day.

This powder
helps to give you an even-toned complexion while revealing your radiance and
giving you a matte finish. It is also infused with vitamins B5, E and C (see
above for an explanation of what these vitamins do). The compact also comes
with a mirror and sponge so that you can do touch ups on the go with it.
When I first
opened the powder I noticed that it too had a fruity, floral scent, but it wasn’t
as strong as the foundation. When I put the powder on I noticed that it is soft
and very blendable. It also went on very smooth and didn’t make me look cakey
at all.
I really
like this powder, except for the scent to it. I think it helped to make my skin
look nice and smooth and it kept my face from looking too oily in the heat.

Overall I
like these products except for the scent to them. I will continue to use them
but I will have to use a thicker moisturizer with them so that my face doesn’t
feel dry at the end of the day.
