Lipstick Bandit on the loose! Raise a (NARS) Manhunt!

October 31, 2011 Paris B 69 Comments

Ladies,

I’m not one to advocate joining gangs – makes me want to don a baseball cap back to front and wear massive bling. But I have recently been invited to join one and like many gangs, its hard to say no especially when they are persistent 😉 They call themselves the Lipstick Bandits but the only thing this gang does is terrorize your wallet by making you WANT more and more lipsticks. Especially the red ones. The redder the better. I think I’ve found my niche 🙂

At the pestering urging of Rae, I was unwittingly happily co-opted into this lipstick loving gang. And like all not-so-secret societies, I needed to be initiated. Here is my initiation.

A month ago, I’d have laughed and said “Pish! Me, do something creative with makeup? You gotta be kidding! I don’t have a creative bone in my body!” That’s what I told Rae the first time she asked. But then I celebrated a birthday recently and with age, as they say, you lose your wisdom 😛 Suddenly you think “There’s nothing I can’t do if I just put my mind to it!” And so when Rae sneakily (banditly?) asked again, I said yes. I did this, on the eve of turning a year older but looking back, not very much wiser 🙂

Desert Island Foundation : Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation – No Question!

October 17, 2011 Paris B 68 Comments

I once tweeted that if I were to only be able to use one liquid foundation for the rest of time (unthinkable!) it would be the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation. That caused quite a stir I can tell you. Bourjois isn’t a terribly popular brand, nor is it available in Malaysia yet (sorry folks!) but I stand by what I said. This is a liquid foundation I’d be loathe to give up.

bourjois healthy mix serum gel foundation review

The Healthy Mix Serum foundation is the lighter version of the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation I reviewed before. I like that one too. I could use them interchangeably and be absolutely happy about it. What differentiates the Healthy Mix foundation from the Healthy Mix Serum foundation is the fact that the serum foundation is supposed to have a more gel-like texture. To be honest, it just feels like a normal light foundation to me, just a bit lighter than the normal version, but not that much lighter.

Being a gel textured foundation, it feels very light on the skin and once blended in, feels almost barely there as far as I’m concerned. Coverage wise, it has a light-medium coverage which is buildable but what is notable is that the foundation has this incredible stretch to it, so a little bit covers quite a large area. It is surprising to see this in what is essentially a drugstore/pharmacy brand foundation.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation : Its good, get it, ’nuff said!

December 27, 2010 Paris B 46 Comments

If we had Bourjois here in Malaysia, I’d tell you to stop reading this right about now and head out there and get your very own Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation! Yes, its that good and I like it that much!

Its a pity therefore that we do not have Bourjois here in Malaysia. However, they do in Singapore, so you can always get your Bourjois fix if you head down to our Southern neighbour 🙂 I got mine a while ago from the UK and it was a purchase on a whim. And for once, a whim paid off 😛

review bourjois healthy mix foundation 51 light vanilla

The Healthy Mix foundation was introduced early in 2010 but as Bourjois isn’t a brand we get here, I tend to not pay attention to it. Still, when confronted with a counter in Superdrug, I just had to pick something up. And this was one of the “somethings”.

My colour is No. 51 Light Vanilla which is my shade to a T. The product comes in a slim plastic bottle as you see in the picture, with a pump nozzle. 1 pump is about all I need for my whole face. The texture is medium-sheer but buildable. Doesn’t go much further than medium coverage though if you prefer something full coverage.

Day 14 : Bourjois Lipstick Framboisine pour Felines

June 14, 2009 Paris B 3 Comments

Day 14 of the the 30 lipsticks in 30 days project features a lipstick from Bourjois. This one was purchased from Singapore a while ago and is a color even if its not in a formula I really am enamoured with.

Bourjois Lipstick – Framboisine pour Felines

Bourjois Framboisine

Bourjois lipsticks come in a plastic case and looks fairly cheap. Its not all that cheap (I can’t remember how much I bought it for) but its cheaper than department store. There is a strong scent which turns many off.

The texture of this lipstick is rather dry and this particular line has been discontinued. The colour however is a lovely fuchsia shade I find remarkably wearable.
