Sunday School, Miss Peaches, Naughty librarian, Senorita, Razzatazz, Jen-Jen, Jealous Jill, Mona Mona, Starry Night & Giggles McGee
Along with my order, I got a note from Kendra that said 'Tamsin, thank you for your order, I hope you enjoy your samples. Xox Kendra' and 3 free samples which was really lovely of her. The ones I got free were: Angel Baby, Cherry Kola & Conspiracy Theory

Good Points:

Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation review

Hi everyone :)

Today I have a review for you and it's for the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation. I picked this up last week from Boots for £6.99 (£3 off, usually £9.99) and have been wearing it everyday and I love it. My shade is 51 - Light Vanilla which is the lightest shade, it comes in a plastic bottle containing 30ml/1 fl oz and has special fruit extracts to benefit the skin.
Apricot - Radiance, Melon - Hydration, Apple - Anti-oxidants, Ginger - Energy

Good points:
Smells nice and fruity
Medium coverage, buildable
Gives dewy, natural finish
Lightweight, durable packaging
Pump dispenser

Bad points:
Small shade range
Less than 16 hour wear claim
