Bourjois always hits the nail right on the head for mastering the perfect drug store foundation! Happy Light is the latest foundation released by the brand and my gosh I am super impressed. The brand claims to have created a foundation which provides 8 hours of hydration and 16 hours of wear which looks flawless in any light. Obviously by now we can confidently judge that these huge statements don't live up to expectations. However, I can say that Happy Light is very hydrating and does provide some sort of moisturizing factor. When you smell the product you do get that lotion sort of scent as opposed to a crayon like smell (which is what I usually find). As for you 16 hours of wear, mm, well sorry Bourjois... I could only say this is true for those people who pop the foundation on and sit statutory all day. In real life, when us modern girls are much more active, the claims should realistically be around 4-5 hours. Another downside I will note in this post is that the shades are not the same as other Bourjois foundations. Testing the foundation on your face before you buy this is a definite must! I tried the shade I thought I was and found that it was far too dark- so just be sure to give the shades a go before hand.
The best bits:
- A little goes a long way- for me I can get away with one full pump for my whole face!
- Super blendable formula.
- Hydrating.
- Light texture.
- Medium coverage- Meaning that skin looks flawless as opposed to cakey.
- Gives a healthy glow without looking oily.
Happy Light is definitely my new favourite 'day time' foundation. Some may believe that this is definitely not a Autumn/Winter foundation but I believe that it is perfect for this season! Ask me for a cheap, light but effective foundation and I would definitely point you in Happy Light's direction!
