I have to admit, I don't often use drugstore makeup. But that is only because I have been lucky enough to work for some big brands over the years and I have stocked up on all of my favourite premium products. Sometimes I get big old spots that manifest into second heads or third eyes and I can't escape the dark circles that hood my eyes and make it look like I never sleep.
I was recently sent a sample of the Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer* to try and it has become my go to product. No looking back now!

What I say: The oil-free formula means it is perfect for my oily skin and gives it great staying power. The creamy texture glided onto my skin and felt really light. I used a sponge to create a flawless finish and it turned the cream into a powder once patted into the skin, but you could use a brush or your fingers. On another note, the concealer smells amazing! Really fruity and sweet, lovely to put on my face every day. I was also pleased to find that the product didn't sink into the fine lines around and under my eyes.
There are three different shades to pick from, I have the shade Eclat Medium and it is perfect for my pale skin tone. I will be stocking up on this little beauty, I seem to be getting through it at lightning speed and it is fairly cheap as far as concealers go!
Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer, £7.99
Are there any drugstore concealers you would recommend?
Stay beautiful
Great review! I've been buying this concealer for years and I still love it! The smell is just amazing!

I haven't tried this but my ultimate favourite drugstore concealer is the Collection Lasting Performance. It's like £4 and its amazing!

I love Collection, their stuff is such a good price and you don't mind if you break it or run out! Will have to check out the Lasting Performance!

I've been looking for a new concealer from the drugstore, but alas I can't seem to find this one in Canada! It sounds so perfect at such a great price!

Hey, thanks for commenting! Such a shame it isn't around in Canada, perhaps you can get it online or ask a nice blogger friend to send you one.

The Collection concealer is my go-to, but I've heard a lot of good things about loads of drugstore concealers recently - especially the Maybelline Fit Me and the Rimmel Wake Me Up. I love bourjois foundation, so it's crazy that I haven't tried the concealer really!

Ooo I haven't tried either of those! I need to get my drugstore wings asap! If I love the concealer I will probs love the foundation!

I love this concealer too! Although I recently bought the maybelline one when I ran out (gotta go for the boots 3 for 2!) and I find it really similar to the bourjois but better! (on me, at least). Libby xxx
