I dunno, perhaps there's only a film of pigment left on there after it sinks in? I dunno, it's hard to explain!<br />Although yes, I'm sure it's one for the drier skintypes!<br />Revlon Colorstay is probably one of my next drugstore purchases, that or Photoready, I'd like to have an opinion on what everyone else is talking about!!!<br />Thank you for commenting girl, I really appreciate your support! ;) xxxTina A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08114907058931604230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643809796485797684.post-9068030327119578382011-06-07T09:17:28.683+03:002011-06-07T09:17:28.683+03:00@Tina: Great review Hun.

I think the Sephoras in Canada pulled the Bourjois line of products off their shelves awhile back....so I haven't heard about this foundation or seen it. <br />Hmm when you said you can't apply this foundation with your fingers I immediately thought - oh no, it's going to be one of those foundations that sit on your skin and transfer off easily :( It doesn't sound like a good one - maybe it's ideal for someone with really dry skin then? <br />I have a stash of various MAC foundations to get through. The only MAC foundation I like is their tinted moisturizer. I got suckered into the MAC band wagon once I started blogging as MAC is such a well loved brand among bloggers. MAC may have a great selection of colours for foundation (I give them that) but I don't like any of them enough to repurchase. Funny, the one foundation I have repurchased many times over the past decade is the Revlon Colourstay Foundation. The colour range is not great but the formula keeps me coming back. After I finish my MAC foundations I'll be repurchasing the Revlon Colourstay and perhaps the Estee Lauder Double Matte which I heard a lot of great things about.Karen Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242109930764582496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643809796485797684.post-66411851647610195242011-06-06T23:21:22.209+03:002011-06-06T23:21:22.209+03:00@Argyro: Thank you dear!

You're most welcome! xx<br /><br /><br />@<b>cbsg5861</b>: Yeah, you're probably right! I'm quite a fan of YSL foundations and they're worth their money imo! From what I hear Chanel is the same too, so yes, maybe you have to splurge on a good foundation, especially if your skin has special "needs", whereas eyeshadows, lipsticks etc you can pick a lower priced option! xxx<br /><br /><br />@<b>Demi</b>: Well, the special ingredient mix in this one seemed to work well with my skin, I found it not drying and it didn't break me out! So that wasn't too bad! But I expect more than 5 to 6 hours of wear from a foundation, that's for sure!

I haven't plunged into luxury brands like Chanel, Ysl, etc...

Yes, I totally agree, that was my experience with it too (well, the only difference is that my skin is of the combination type): it doesn't look oily, and the finish is quite smooth and pleasant! If only it was more long lasting and less...tranfer-prone!!! Lol! x<br /><br /><br />@<b>ModestyBrown</b>: Seems that many people of a particular skintype say similar things about a product. Which can be very misleading if a product gets rave reviews but all the major gurus and bloggers have very even and normal to combination skintypes to begin with (which I'n moticing all the more lately)!!! There's always little info on how a product works on very oily skintypes or the extremely sensitive or acne prone ones!<br />As for Healthy Mix, I blame my... overly combination (oily t zone/normal cheek/dry jawlines) skin for it going patchy! <br />Thank you so much for that extremely well articulated comment Jane! xxx<br /><br /><br />@<b>Anastasia</b>: Oh, yes, I can see it being a good foundation during the wintertime, it has that light and almost soothing feeling to the skin! Although personally I'm always looking for sth more...heavy duty when it comes to foundation, which is why this barely made the cut for me! :D<br />xxTina A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08114907058931604230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643809796485797684.post-24433446676450104632011-06-06T00:48:22.703+03:002011-06-06T00:48:22.703+03:00@Carla: Yes, that fruity scent is very pleasant an...@<b>Carla</b>: Yes, that fruity scent is very pleasant and a bit refreshing!

Οσο για το MAC, και μιας και λεμε, ειναι πολυ καλο colour match για τη χρηση που του κανω! Thanx for your input!<br /><br /><br />@<b>Cat</b>: Thank you love! Although I have a feeling this could work on you: you have excellent skin (compared to mine, it's...divine) and if you don't want sth to last more than 6 hrs, then it wouldn't be sth to cross off! Although 51 would prob be a little too dark for you too! I'd say give it a swatch at least! ;) xxxTina A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08114907058931604230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643809796485797684.post-86400060438848547302011-06-06T00:42:45.997+03:002011-06-06T00:42:45.997+03:00@Sophie: Yes, even though their color range isn...@<b>Sophie</b>: Yes, even though their color range isn't too bad, it's always difficult to find your exact shade if you're too pale! Thanx for commenting dear! :) x<br /><br /><br />@<b>Blushingloves Irene Greece</b>: Oily skin and summer months? Then there's no point in getting this in my opinion, I doubt it will last more than a couple of hours on you! Perhaps you can try it out during the winter if you still wish to give it a go! Otherwise, pick sth else alltogether, lol! ;) xxx<br /><br /><br />@<b>FashionSugarBubbles</b>: Well, if there's anyone that can pull it off, it would be you, you have amazing skin...! ;) xx<br /><br /><br />@<b>Artemi</b>: Σ'ευχαριστω κουκλα μου!

It never goes patchy on me but it does begin to disappear. This isn't so much of an issue for me as my skin just needs evening out but I can understand if you're trying to cover up skin with issues, the lasting power would be a problem.<br /><br />I think this review is going to be very useful to lots of people. It's good to understand the pros and cons of a product.

So I decided to give into the fact I'd never have matt skin and embrace dewyness and this was the foundation I tried. <br /><br />I've only been using about a week but so far I really like it. I think it smells amazing, really apricoty and provides quite a smooth finish and is dewy without being too oily. <br /><br />I totally agree with you about it coming off though, my fone is always covered and it doesn't last out my day at work, but whilst it's there I do like how it looks. <br /><br />You're right that foundation is hard to review as everyone is looking for something different and will react differently etc. Its good to read opinions though :)<br /><br /><a href="http://iamharibo.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Visit The Other Side Of Cool</a><br />Tweet me! @othersideofcoolTheOtherSideofCoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527710261247437447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643809796485797684.post-82809520594998549582011-06-04T23:20:18.248+03:002011-06-04T23:20:18.248+03:00i was thinking about buying this but i'm defin...i was thinking about buying this but i'm definitely not going to be wasting my money now, fantastic review lovely! xxCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515860731566684288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643809796485797684.post-48532858939365116092011-06-04T23:01:47.394+03:002011-06-04T23:01:47.394+03:00κρίμα! πάντως όπως το βλέπω στο δέρμα σου, δεν είν...κρίμα! πάντως όπως το βλέπω στο δέρμα σου, δεν είναι άσχημο σαν χρώμα. αυτό πχ της μακ δεν μου αρέσει καθόλου επάνω σου. λέμε τώρα.Leinti ntihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297073553448461329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643809796485797684.post-62335836967308167762011-06-04T22:24:31.930+03:002011-06-04T22:24:31.930+03:00hmmm great review:)
