Product Review ~Out of a Mishap~

So recently I was browsing around ASOS ~always dangerous~ and decide to order a New Look backpack I had been eyeing for ages as the perfect carry on for an upcoming trip. As I am about order one of those peer pressuring reminders popped up notifying me that if I were to spend an X amount of dollars shipping would be free.

Of course I don't want to pay shipping if I can buy another item and spend only a bit more than I would on shipping ~excuses excuses tisk tisk~ ASOS, being a British company, stocks Bourjois and since I live in the states  I figured why not try something from the brand. Hearing so much hype about the Health Mix Foundation I added it to my basket and checked out. A week later when the package arrived I giddily ripped apart the box and dug in only to find ASOS had shipped me the Healthy Mix Serum Foundation.

 Initially I was disappointed, but being the impatient ~and slightly lazy~ person I am I decided to not go through the hassle of returning the foundation and gave it a shot. BEST DECISION EVER ~see laziness has its advantages too~ When I first applied this foundation I was a little concerned as it was very moisturizing and I have combination oily skin, but it buffed and blended in so nicely. After the first layer had set I was blown away at how light it felt on my skin. There was no sticky feeling often left behind by hydrating foundations.

Since I am still battling a few blemishes I added a second layer of foundation where I needed it. It layer beautifully without any caking or accentuation of my dry patches. I was slightly shinier than I would have like through my T-zone, but it wasn't anything a little Rimmel Stay Matte powder couldn't fix.

 I absolutely love the light texture of this foundation, so light my Maybelline Age-Rewind Concealer seemed heavier than normal. As for the staying power I'd say it held up pretty well, but of course you can judge that for yourselves from the pictures.

Overall I'd say this foundation is gorgeous and  if you can get your hands on it or you're only X amount of dollars away from free shipping on your ASOS order  go for it!
