REVIEW: Bourjois Paris - Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix Foundation

Hello Tuesday....

Today I'm back with another foundation review which is Bourjois Paris - Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix Foundation

i got mine in shade N55- Dark Beige which I believe is the darkest shade available at my local Watson (and its not as dark, almost like NW25 of MAC Prolong wear foundation).

It retails from Rm 53.33 to Rm 59.25 in Watson, depending on the discount or deals with 30ml of product.

The description of this foundation:

Give your skin a radiance boost and leave it looking flawless for up to 16 hours! Bourjois’ new Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix foundation is enriched with a fruit therapy formula to enhance your complexion.

• Apricot for radiance
• Melon for hydration
• Apple to protect your youth

It is also enriched with crystalline pigments to even out the complexion while letting in the natural light for that healthy looking glow.

Its soft, fresh texture easily blends onto the skin for a comfortable flawless finish leaving you with beautiful, radiant and hydrated skin for 8 hours***.

( description taken from Bourjois.uk website) 

The foundation claimed to give you hydrated and luminous skin with healthy glow and flawless complexion which lasts to 16 hours. It also enriches with fruit therapy to enhance your skin.

My Review:

* This foundation gives a medium coverage, and you can build it up to full if you need more coverage

* It has fruity scent, which is a plus..no chemically scent at all

* The finish of the foundation is semi-matte/satin and it gives you natural healthy glow 

* The foundation will last you all day, even in hot and humid temperature in Malaysia

* This is the kind of foundation that looks better after few hours of wear

* Its on the thicker side, I suggest apply with your clean fingers for natural finish or damp sponge for dewy finish.

how it looks on my skin with natural light and no concealer at all

Recommendation:

I HIGHLY recommend this foundation for daily basis, you don't need much to make yourself look better...

Until next time,

REVIEW: Elianto Feather Like Airbrush Foundation

hello from the other side,
hi guys, today I'll be writing a review on a foundation from Elianto called ' Feather Like Airbrush Foundation'
it comes in three different shade, 01-ivory beige, 02- natural beige 03- sand beige

as can be seen in elianto official website

the retail price is Rm39.90 each, and i bought mine during 50% off promotion few months back. i got mine in shade 01- ivory beige which is the lightest shade. actually i wanted to get the second shade, 02- natural beige but the sales girl wrongly give me the lightest shade and i just realize that when i reached home. im not as sure but as i remember Elianto goods sold are not refundable or changeable.

on to the actual product,
Elianto Feather Lite Airbrush Foundation gives you perfect skin. This lightweight, gel-based foundation imparts a refreshing sensation and a smooth, satin-like finish, giving you a radiant, natural glow with buildable sheer to medium coverage. With antioxidant Vitamin C and anti-aging Vitamin E, this long-wearing foundation cares for your skin too (taken from the product's description)

what can i say:

1) this foundation is best applied by hand ( make sure your hands are clean) as it is on the sheer side.
2) i would say it give light-medium coverage, perfect for daily use. it has a pleasant scent, not as chemically smelling. for me its more like the bb cream rather than a foundation texture wise and also coverage wise.
3) it has the moisturizing effect that it claimed to be
4) it has satin finish and looks very natural
5) it has no SPF in it so its safe for any flash photography.

the down sides are :

1) it is not build-able, it can look really thick and cakey
2) if applied by damp beauty blender or any damp makeup sponge, it'll melt and starts to separate on skin and gives a really weird look
3) it does not last the whole day as it claimed to be long-lasting, after more than 4 hours you can start see missing foundation spots especially around nose area and around your mouth area.

i would suggest to set the foundation with powder as it can get oily throughout the day especially on tropical weather (hot and humid) like in Malaysia. it doesn't break me out and doesn't dry out my skin as this girl has dry skin.
overall, its a good foundation for daily basis but don't expect much from it.
for me personally, i won't repurchase this foundation as i can get better foundation for this price range.

till i see you again,
with love, Dhean
