Bourjois healthy mix battle

Which ones better the healthy mix original or the healthy mix serum?
 As you can see I have nearly used up the Bourjois healthy mix foundation original. I absolutely love this foundation it is very nice and the Bourjois foundation shades are amazing for pale skin people like me (I have the Serum in shade 52 and the Original in shade 51). So when I found out that they were bringing out a healthy mix serum I was very tempted, at first I did hold back  for a little while but eventually I just couldn't hold back any longer.

(L to R)serum, original

Coverage?

The Bourjois healthy mix serum I would say has a light to medium coverage it is a very nice everyday foundation.

The Bourjois healthy mix has a medium to buildable coverage this used to be my everyday foundation but now that my skin is getting a little bit better I have been liking a lighter coverage for day time.

Finish?

They both say that they leave a semi matte finish.The Serum has a satin finish very natural looking. The   Original has a more dewy finish not overly dewy but definitely more dewy than the Serum. But again still natural looking.

Texture?

The Serum has a very light texture and it feels like your not even wearing makeup. The Original has a slightly thicker texture but it is still light on the skin.

Lasting power?

The Serum last for about up to 8 hours looking perfect. The Original last for about up to 9 hours looking perfect. I do use a primer and foundations do tend to last on my skin quite well anyway.

Packaging?

The Serum has a very nice glass bottle which I do think looks more expensive. The original has a plastic bottle and a black lid which I do think looks sophisticated. 

Pumps?

I know that this is a odd one but I thought i would share my opinion. The Serum has a very nice pump because it distributes just the right amount of product. The Original pump is a little bit harder to control.

Which one is better?

It really depends on what you are looking for in terms of coverage. If you are looking for a natural everyday foundation I would recommend the serum. If you are looking for a medium coverage foundation that will cover most of your imperfections but still looks quite natural then I would recommend the Original.

 

Overall my favourite is the Healthy mix serum it is my kind of everyday foundation that looks natural but still covers. But I do still love the Healthy mix original for say if I was having a bad skin day or sometimes I just want a fuller coverage. I love them both but I love the serum more.

 

I hope this has helped you decide which Bourjois healthy mix foundation you want or hopefully you at least understand the differences between them.

Saturday scents: Harajuku lovers G

 

Today for Saturday scents I have chosen Gwen Stefani's Harujuku lovers G perfume. This one is from the Wicked collection. They retail for £10.99 for 10ml at fragrance direct.

G is a fruity floral fragrance. It has top notes of apple, peach and pineapple. The mid notes of watermelon, butterfly blush, peony. Base notes of raspberry, musk and water aqueous.

I think that the bottles are super cute and pretty. I have two already I have G and love both from the summer collection. They are great collectable items. I hope you are enjoying Saturday scents.
 

Avon colortrend read my lips lipgloss review

I have already done a review on the Avon glazwear lipglosses.To see review click here Colortrend is avons budget range, the lipglosses are very good value for money. They retail for £3.75 but at the moment it is buy 1 get one for £1. I think that the packaging is alright but I do think that it does have a cheapy look to it.

(T to B)Watermelon ice, Orange crush, Start up pink

(L to R)Orange crush, Watermelon ice, Start up pink

I have watermelon ice, orange crush and start up pink. I do really like these colours but I must say that the swatches on the brochures aren't very accurate. The colours aren't extremely pigmented but they do have pretty good colour pay off.

(Watermelon ice)

(Orange crush)

(Start up pink)

Watermelon ice is a icey pink, orange crush is a coraly colour and start up pink is a dark pink they are all really pretty colours my favourite is orange crush. These lip glosses aren't sticky at all I think Avon must have some special recipe for none sticky lipglosses because every lipgloss I have tried from them it hasn't been sticky at all.I would definetly recommened these lipglosses.

Have you tried these lipglosses, what do you think? Also it would be great if you wanted to follow my blog on bloglovin or your google account. There is a button for both on the right that you just have to click and it will let you follow my blog. Thanks!!

Saturday scents: Jimmy Choo Eau De Parfum

I was in selfridges a few days ago and I went over to test this perfume and it is beautiful. But I don't think that I will ever be able to justify buying it because it is £68 for 100ml. So if you are ever passing by I would definetly recommend giving it a smell.

They say that it is a modern fruity chypre with warm, rich, woody depths. With luminous green top notes, an aura of rich exotis tiger orchid and base notes of sweet toffee meld with inodonsian patchouli. Now I don't know what some of those are but they smell amazing together.

The bottle is very pretty and very safisticated and expensive looking, which it is. Maybe I will be able to hold myself from shopping for a while and just save up for this but I don't know if I will be able to do it. I love this perfume and hopefully someday I will own it, I hope you are enjoying Saturday scents.
