I had been using Nars (shade Punjab) for years, and at around $60 a bottle, I couldn’t justify the price anymore. My friend recommended to me the Bourjois Paris Healthy Mix foundation which is 1/3 of the price when purchased on ASOS.com when they have their sales! Regular price is around $30 when you buy the product at Shoppers Drug Mart.

Pros
1) Affordable—the price point is perfect for someone who wants something less expensive than a high-end brand, but at the same time not TOO cheap as to compromise quality
2) Quality—I went on a rampage one year and bought SO many drug-store foundations. This was the ONLY foundation that matched my skin colour (NC30 at MAC), did not have a weird consistency or a weird smell.
2) Smell—the scent of this product is heavenly. It’s a fruity scent, but not too strong. You know that weird smell of “cheap” makeup? This is NOTHING like that!
3) Bottle—this bottle comes with a pump! A PUMP!

Cons
- Absolutely nothing!

Since switching to this particular brand of foundation, I’ve never even considered trying a new foundation. It’s THAT good. Honestly, I’m surprised this foundation doesn’t cost more!
