The main benefit of bio detox is that 98% of ingredients are of natural origin and 21% are derived from organic farming. However, for me, the formula just does not work on its own. The foundation contains rice powder which has mattifying properties - I have combination oily skin and bio detox is too flat and matte for me on the skin; I like some natural glow which gets completely cancelled out. The advantage to this is it doesn't need set with a powder and it is long lasting and would probably be ideal for people with really oily skin.
Although not the most flattering photograph it shows well both the positive and negatives of the appearance of the foundation. It has really good coverage - as you can see it gives a nice even base for the rest of my make up. However, you can also see just how mattifying the foundation is.
Bio detox definitely has both postives and negatives and for me the negatives outweigh the positives for using it on its own. However, I have been using it mixed with my GOSH Lift Me Up foundation which creates such a beautiful base which you can see here. Before writing this I did have a look at reviews of bio detox online and I'm definitely in the minority so it's worth looking at next time you're at a counter!

oooh great review! i have a sample of this , so i will give it a go tomorrow :) xxx
ReplyDeleteyeah, it is quite mattifying. i hate mattifying products too. i think they make me look old. bleurgh :D
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm I do like a matte base, I might have to check this out but I have seen a few negative reviews now =0/ x
ReplyDeletebut it looks gorgeous on you lovely? I guess you like the dewy look more. I will be giving this a try once I run out of my current foundations.
ReplyDeletenoheroinhersky - Definitely go and have a look at the testers before deciding, it's just not what I like in a foundation but definitely the coverage is good!!
ReplyDeleteJessica - Ohh did you buy it or was it just a tester? I think probably it's best for people with really oily skin!
Hannah - Ohh let me know what you think about it!!
Birmingham Lady - Ha ha I know what you mean, you need a little bit of youthfull glow :D
Karligh - see it will probably be really good on you! I couldn't find any negative reviews anywhere - I thought I was maybe just being picky ha! I think you should try it, if you want I don't mind sending you some sample pots of mine as I only use a teeny bit mixed with my GOSH foundattion, it's just it might be a wee bit dark/yellow toned for you!
Shifa - I think that's it, I really like the way it evens out my skintone and the coverage is brilliant - it's just a little too matte for me, but definitely when I was reading other reviews I couldn't really find anyone who didn't like it - can't wait to see what you think!

Ha... Ive just commented on another post of someone trying this and not liking it.
ReplyDeleteI hate it. I bought it, applied it and took it off again straight away.
I'll be posting my review soon.

I bought this last week, and like Jo said tried and took it straight off! I dislike it. I used to go for the matte look but now I'm choosing dewy! Today I bought 10 hour sleep effect instead, Have you tried that one? And I agree that Bio stinks!! xx
ReplyDeleteJo - It's so odd as when it first was released I hadn't read any bad reviews however from today i've seen quite a few! Can't wait to read your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteStacey - Ha ha no I have a moon face! You should even go and swatch it instore to see!!!
Emily - I'm definitely a fan of dewyness!!! Yeah I've tried both 10 hour sleep effect and healthy mix and liked both of them - I think that's why I was so disappointed!

your face looks flawless.<3
ReplyDeleteur face look flawless ,, i see Bourjois everywhere ,,
ReplyDeletei just dont look at their foundations because am too dark for their stupid color range ,, lol
or they r just out of the dark shades ,, ( mac nc 43-45 )
I have noticed a lot of more negative than positive comments on this foundation on a lot of blog posts! Think I will be staying clear of this! :)
ReplyDeleteJulianne - Thank you!! I love do love the level of coverage!!
ReplyDeleteFeef - Yeah I don't think Bourjois has a good colour range at all - even this is a bit too yellow toned for me. But I love their blushes and eye shadows!
Nikki - I know it's so wierd until yesterday I'd only read positive review and then yesterday there was a litle unflux of negative comments!!

Your face looks flawless but I guess you have to try something different like using organic makeup for you to acquire a glowing look.
