Lancome Foundation and Free Gift at Boots

Was having a little browse in Boots and noticed that they have a fab free (with the purchase of two or more products) gift at the Lancome counter until 11th March. Worth over £71!

It includes:
Cleanser and Toner (in a choice of cleansing routine)
Hydra Zen Neurocalm
Eye Cream
Mascara
Juicy tube


Plus you get a free full size Bi-Facil with any third purchase! (Can you tell I love a bargain?!)

So I decided to have a look at what I could buy to get the free gift, womans logic and all that ;) When a very lovely assistant asked if I needed any help - normally at this point I kind of shake my head and run away! - but I was feeling brave and asked her to match me up to a medium/full coverage foundation.  So she sat me down and suggested Teint Idole Ultra 24H in shade 005, she kindly gave me a big enough sample to last for 7 days and I went away happily clutching my little bottle of super pale foundation....


Now when I got home and tried it on I was so disappointed, its REALLY pale and matte I usually go for a more dewy finish so I thought it looked very mask like.  Plus I would say the coverage is more light/medium so I needed quite a bit of concealer.  Anyway I got so many compliments on my skin looking flawless that I think it may growing on me......


Has anyone tried this foundation?  What did you think? Do any of the Lancome foundations have a finish that is not so matte?
