Don't you always wish there is an easier way to get beauty products that aren't from where you live at more reasonable prices?
It was a sad day when I realized Bourjois is a drugstore brand in the UK (where the Healthy Mix Serum foundation is £11 - roughly CAD17, with 3 for 2 promotion often) while in Canada, it is a prestige brand (the same foundation is CAD27, hardly any promotions). Enough said.
When I heard about echemist and their prices (on top of free international shipping), I gasped. Their £10 off £50 promotion at the time was icing on the cake, an order is in order, is it not? :) It took less than 2 weeks to arrive, everything was in good condition. Let me show you what I got.
Then I got Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, reg. around $14 on the site, paid $9. I'd assume that this is the earlier version of the Healthy Mix serum foundation, correct me if I'm wrong. Shade selection was limited, I got #53 Light Beige, not my exact match, but I can make it work.
The last thing was Max Factor Panstik in #14 Cool Copper. Since we don't have this brand here, and I heard good thing about this product, I didn't pass up a chance to try it. Reg. $11, I paid around $8 for it.
So if you are looking for a reasonable source of products, I hope this post is helpful. Their customer service was great to answer all my questions about shade availability and VAT. I would definitely order from them again. And I'm not sponsored/ affiliated, paid for everything myself.
I've never heard of this site, but I'm for sure going to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI hate that Bourjois is so hard to get in Canada but I really love their foundation, and now I really want to try the Vichy one you mentioned too!
If you need full coverage, Vichy Dermablend is the best :) I'm happy that the post helps
Deleteah a nother site to peruse??? Oh my poor wallet! Thanks for the headsup!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, Raina. Maybe wait for a sale to shop, free shipping helps too right?
DeleteThanks for sharing this site! I got the Healthy Mix foundation on asos for $13 on sale. Good to know there's an alternative site & cheaper pricing as asos only carries the serum version now for $20.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I heard the brand is on and off on ASOS. I do enjoy the option to shop at different sites :)
DeleteThanks! I just did a video about how much I love Bourjois! I was talking about how there is no where in Canada to purchase the original Healthy Mix.. I now have my answer! Thanks! I will mention your blog in my next video! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Claire, thank you for the support. It's interesting that you prefer the original
DeleteMy dear, you are a bad influence, and I love you for it! Just placed an order for a couple of Bourjois items. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for hurting your wallet :) I hope you enjoy the haul when it arrives
