- BOURJOIS - BOURJOIS 10 HOUR SLEEP EFFECT FOUNDATION -

Make-up and I are best friends. Like any other woman on the planet, I have stacks of it. Though probably not 'quite' as much as most other woman; Make-up is very expensive and its allure is so tempting every time I step foot inside a chemist. The chemist is my favourite of all shops and I can spend many hours perusing and lusting over all the delicious looking and eye catching pretty

make-up products upon the shelves. I am fascinated with all kinds of make-up, though I don't normally bother with foundation. I have never worn it really, apart from when I was in the theatre and the thick feel and hot lights made me hate the feel that heavy foundation can induce.-

I am the pale interesting type;) and my complexion is very light, so in the winter my skin really does need some kind of colouring on it to stop me appearing anaemic. I usually brush a bronze blush over my face but I feel that it looks a little too dark for the winter months. So when I read a review on the Bourjois 10 hour sleep effect foundation, I really liked the sound of it and the fact that it was extremely light upon the skin was just what I was after. It also said that it will give you a fresh, rested complexion as if you have had a good ten hours sleep! Great claims indeed. I 'Never' get 10 hours sleep, so I was interested to see what my skin would look like after applying this miracle base. -

Upon the lid is displayed the colour of this product, which in my case is number 73 and this is described as Beige Clair. This colour appealed to me because of its medium colouring that is neither too dark nor too light and it looked just about perfect for my skin colour. The writing upon the container is complimentary in its colouring and the whole look and colour of the product tells you that this is a foundation. The casing is quite plain and no nonsense which is a little disappointing for a Bourjois product I felt. The weight is 30 ml and this foundation is oil free and dermatologically tested and contains vitamin E - F and B5 and it also contains a vitamin enriched formula. -

-THE PRODUCT-

The 10 hour sleep foundation has a pump down white top, which when pressed down, dispenses quite a good amount. The foundation is quite
