Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder | Review

I don't really use bronzers that much, I'm so pale that it's hard to find one that wouldn't make me look like an Oompa Loompa. But (there is always a but,) a while ago I got a couple of Bourjois bronzing powders just because I loved the way they swatched on my hand when I was browsing makeup in Boots (and they were on offer, who doesn't like offers). The one I'm reviewing in this post is Delice de Poudre in 51, it comes in a lovely chocolatey-looking box and when you open it, it looks and smells like chocolate. Lovely. The powder doesn't have that orange effect that I'm not really a fan of, it also has a bit of sparkle to it when in the box, but it doesn't translate on my face. It's slightly glowy but not in a bad way. The powder is buildable and also great for contouring. Personally, I only need a touch of 51 but there is also a darker shade - 52, if you are not as pale as me or if you get a tan over summer etc. I unfortunately cannot get a tan, my skin goes tomato red straight away. Anywho, I would definitely recommend this powder and I will probably re-purchase if I don't find anything better. Its got a good price tag too.

What's your favourite bronzer? Have you tried Bourjois ones?

Bourjois: Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation and Healthy Balance Unifying Powder

Bourjois is one of my favourite brads so when I spotted this foundation and powder a while ago I had to have it. What I liked about it straight away was the fruity smell, it's amazing and I've never tried a foundation or powder with a nice scent to it. But then again, the scent doesn't mean the product is great so.

I've been using Bourjois Healthy range for a while now and I have to say it is quite good comparing to what I've used before. It's really easy to blend in with fingers or a sponge however, I do prefer to use a brush. It lasts fairly long too, up to around 7 or 8 hours without fading which isn't bad, but definitely not 16 hours as it says on the package. Provides light to medium coverage (for me), has a nice, smooth texture and doesn't look cakey. I'm not too keen on the packaging though, I don't know. I think I just prefer a glass bottle like Revlon's.

The powder on the other hand has a nice packaging, red and slim, and is really light. Plus there is a mirror on the inside. It doesn't include a puff or a brush, which I don't mind because I use my own anyway. Coverage is light to medium too, but unlike the foundation it stays on for the promised 10 hours. It doesn't dry out the skin, which is great because my skin gets dry easily.

Overall, I don't think I will re-purchase the foundation just to try out new ones and I already have my favourite, and nothing has been able to beat it yet (Revlon PhotoReady). But I love the powder a lot, so I will  re-purchase this product. Unless I find something that works better for me.

My foundation is in shade 51 Light Vanilla and powder is in 52 Vanilla.
