Review: Simple Spotless Skin, quick fix Cleansing Wipes

Hey Beauties,

I think I have found my holy grail cleansing wipes. I have gone through 3 packets of these already, that's how much I like them :)



Targeted to:

  • Those who may suffer from light spots,
  • Those who have sensitive skin
  • For those who are searching for an extra benefit, apart from the part that cleanses the face from makeup easily

Benefits: Why I love this product

  • Removes approximately 90% of makeup, which is more then the majority of inexpensive makeup wipes that are available in the market
  • Removes also waterproof mascara
  • Dries out small pimples and spots immediately. It also prevents from more spots to be created. This takes place because of the zinc and chamomile that are contained in the ingredients. 
The only thing that I did not like about these cleansing wipes is that the wipes themselves are quite small for my liking. However, I can accept this, because of all the benefits it resulted in. 

They can be found in the majority of Supermarkets, if not all. I bought them for about EUR4.50.

That's all for this post,

Let me know what you think about these wipes if you have tried them,

Take Care,

Review:- Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

Heyy Beauties,

I have a review for you today. I am always in search for new foundations, and after reading and watching very good reviews about this product I decided to purchase it. I purchased it from Echemist with the added bonus of free shipping to Malta. It retails for 11.19 euro, which I think is not that bad when compared to other foundations for example an Artdeco foundation which is 15 euro.



Before starting to use the Bourjois Foundation, I was using an Artdeco Foundation which I had been using for about two years, however lately I noticed that it was breaking me out and after taking a look at the ingredients I noticed that it contained lots of parabens and also an ingredient called oxybenzone. Oxybenzone is found in sun screen products and in fact the Artdeco foundation has SPF. Although the Oxybenzone protects the skin from the sun, it is absorbed in our system and can cause damage to cells and affect hormones. So I think that it is this ingredient that is causing my acne break outs.



The Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation does not contain any SPF and upon using for the first time, I noticed quite an improvement in my skin. Its ingredients when compared with those of the Artdeco product are much better with the added benefit of having fruit ingredients. It claims to use "Fruit therapy for radiance and boosting and maintains essential skin hydration". I vouch for this product that it does what it claims. After using it for about a week and a half my skin looks healthier and my acne has dramatically decreased. It also is oil free.

It has medium coverage however it can be full coverage when built up. The down side of this product is that there is a limited range of colors to choose from.

For the packaging, its a plastic packaging so if it falls it does not break, like other foundation packaging, and it has a pump therefore the product is not wasted. Unlike other foundations, which have a plasticy kind of smell, this foundation has a really sweet and fruity smell.

Therefore, to conclude, I highly recommend this product especially for sensitive, oily and acne prone skin since this foundation takes care of your skin.

Have you used this product? What do you think of it?

Hope you found this review helpful,

Until next time,

Take Care,

Jessica :)
