Benefit Hello Flawless.........

So I've been on the look out for a new light foundation for the summer months and whilst I was in House Of Fraser the other day I found myself at the Benefit counter being matched up with a Hello Flawless Foundation ( I'm shade 'Believe in me Ivory').

Benefit says - ' Hello…it’s flawless time! Our new oil-free brightening liquid foundation builds from light to medium coverage for a natural complexion you can believe in. It’s you…just more luminous & healthy looking.'

I Say- 

I have only being using it for a few days but I really do like it a lot,the main factor for me is it is SPF25 and PA+++  which is the highest sun protection which is so important to me and it literally is everything it says it is. So easy to apply I use either my fingers for quickness or my Real techniques buffing brush and it blends in like a dream and gives my skin a nice radiant dewy look. 

Even though it is quite a light foundation the coverage is overall very good and feels nice and light on my skin which I prefer I don't like it when foundations feel all cakey which some can. The only downside of this Foundation is the price tag at £24.50 which I felt a bit bad parting with but I do think it might become one of my most reached for products over the summer

Have you tried it? What foundations are you loving at the moment?

A New Holy Grail??

So a couple of  weeks I was looking round my local boots for a new daily foundation and saw that Bourjois have a new Healthy Mix Foundation out 'Healthy Mix Serum' which is described as a gel foundation and then I saw that if you bought it you got a free mascara and I will hold my hands up and say some of my all time favourite mascaras are from Bourjois so I grabbed a bottle and off I trotted.

I have been using this every day ever since and i have to say i have finally found my perfect drugstore foundation and one I will be re -purchasing again and again no doubt, at first the slim bottle I thought 'oh thats going to run out soon' but noo I only need a very little amount on the back of my hand and the coverage is amazing, I don't think it is a 'Gel' as such just a normal liquid foundation but gives me coverage like I have not had before, and I guess you could call my skin 'Combination' I have some oily bits and some not so oily so I was wondering how this would be and it is amazing just gives full even coverage all over and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry like some foundations do.

The only downside I don't like which is nothing major but the smell has a very subtle scent of vanilla which at first is a bit odd but as soon as it's on my skin and buffed in no problems. With how easy it is to apply and how little you need I would liken this to a Tinted Moisturiser, but I will be sticking with this from now on.
Oh and the Mascara I chose was the Coup de Theatre which is a false lash effect and it is pretty damn amazing, am i surprised though? NO. Love their Mascara they never ever fail to disappoint.

Do you have the original Healthy Mix? Have you tried this one? What are your thoughts?
