Sample Arrival: Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H

Sample Arrival: Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H..





Hey beauties!
If you weren't already aware, Lancôme launched their brand new foundation yesterday! It is called Teint Idole Ultra 24H. This is a long lasting foundation and is meant to last 24 hours! Unfortunately I wasn't able to get their 7 day trial because every time I went into Boots, the lady on the counter wasn't there and she's the only person who could give out samples. Yesterday I happened to be in town again and luckily the consultant was there. The very lovely and friendly lady sat me down so that we could look at different shades in order to find a match for my skin tone. When trying to find a match using her colour chart, we were stuck between #11 Muscade and #13 Sienne. Eventually we settled for a sample of #13 Sienne but as she brought out the bottle, I knew it would be too dark. #13 Sienne looked the slightest bit darker or around the same colour as my Estee Lauder Double Wear in Truffle (which I already have to mix because it is too dark for me). I then asked to see the bottle of #11 Muscade. This definitely looked like more of a match so she gave me a sample of #11 to take home instead. 
I was with my friend, it was very cold, we were running short of time and she also wanted to try a sample. We are around the same skin tone so the consultant gave her a sample of #11 and a large sample of #13 in case I got home and decided that #11 wasn't my match (my friend and I live together). 


I used my sample today and so far so good! My friend also tried her sample as well. Initially she tried #13 but she said it was too dark for her so she had to take it all off and use #11 which was a good match. She's left #13 in my room because she doesn't like it. I am still yet to try it though I am happy with #11. As this is my first time using this foundation, I cannot really go into a review yet but I'll let you know how it goes and give you full details on it later.


I'm hoping it can live up to my Estee Lauder Double Wear because I'm getting a bit bored of mixing it with a lighter foundation for a better match.

Has anyone bought this foundation yet or tried out a sample?
