Bourjois 123 Perfect (53 Light Beige) Foundation Swatch & Review

123 Perfect is the latest foundation from Bourjois, I came across this whilst browsing in Boots but I haven't seen this around in Spain yet so I'm not sure of its availability worldwide. It's supposed to have 3 correcting pigments (yellow, mauve and green) and 16 hour wear time. I find it's very similar to Chanel Perfection Lumiere, perhaps a slightly more matte finish (although this isn't that surprising considering it's part of the same company).

I picked up 53 Light Beige but I've noticed that it dries down a little darker than Healthy Mix or Healthy Mix Serum. It has a gel like texture with medium coverage and blends in with the skin perfectly to give an invisible finish. I would say that this is more suitable for normal-oily skin types as it is quite mattifying. It comes in a glass bottle with a pump nozzle. Overall this is yet another really lovely foundation from Bourjois and at a great price point.

Bourjois 1 Seconde 10 Rouge Poppy Nail Polish Swatch & Review

Bourjois 1 Seconde Nail Polish in 10 Rouge Poppy is a bright creamy coral red. These new nail varnishes from Bourjois are supposed to have a gel-silicone texture, I'm not sure how different they are supposed to be from your average polish- they don't seem that incomparable. It is nicely pigmented though, this was 2 coats and I have no VNL. The brush is one of those pro wide wands which makes it super fast to apply, the first coat dried quickly but once the second was on it was a good 20 minutes before it was dry enough no to worry about smudging it. Having said that, I did dent it about 40 minutes afterwards so I would strongly advise putting on a quick dry topcoat.

As you can see it has a lovely glossy finish and it is a beautiful color - very similar to the YSL polish I reviewed the other day. I found this lasted about 2-3 days before I noticed any tip wear.
