Beauty Review: Bourjous Healthy Balance Powder


As an oily-skinned girl, it's quite hard to find products which keep shine away without looking caked-on or powdery, so every time I hear a recommendation for a mattifying powder which isn't cakey I'm in there like swimwear.  My newest one is this little beauty from Bourjois.



I love the packaging of this, the pan is massive, the mirror is huge and it's seriously slim while still feeling sturdy.  The powder itself is a dream; it's finely milled and although it does have a shade (mine's 52 by the way) seems completely invisible - it appears to eliminate shine without adding anything visible at all, which is exactly what I wanted.  In the past even translucent powders have been at least a little bit noticeable, but not this one!  I can't get enough of this - oily skinned girls, this one's for you!

  1. I'd be scared to drop this one! Seems like it'd break into a million pieces. It's gorgeous!

  2. I caved and picked this up on my UK trip after hearing all the raves about it. I haven't cracked it open yet, but I'm seriously appreciative of the slim packaging, unlike other powders! (-coughoucghSoapandGlory-)

    1. I completely agree, have had the soap and glory one in my bag lately and it's too bulky for my little makeup bag! x
