Lancome foundation, concealer, and a hundred and one other beauty questions

I've got around £100 in Adv card points to spend in Boots tomorrow Grin. Badly need a new foundation and have been thinking about trying Lancome. What's the verdict? Recently I've tried Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser, Chanel Vitaluminiere, Guerlain??, Dior Forever and heaven knows what else. My all-time favourite was a Giorgio Armani foundation but I can't get it within a 150 mile radius. None of the above have been any more than okay for me ... maybe I'm just waaay too fussy Grin.

Also, concealers vs Touche Eclait ... what's the difference. I've got dark circles and am using Bobbi Browne concealer at the moment which is quite good. Touche E is just a highligher - right? It won't cover dark circles? Enlighten me please.

Somewhere recently I read that pink blusher = summer so turn to peach shades for winter - yeah or neah?

Finally, I'm all out of moisturiser. What brand should I go for? Am using Liz Earle but fancy a change (and to use the Boots points).

Infact, I'm all out of everything which doesn't happen very often so am looking forward to a good splurge tomorrow Grin

Thanks!

I love my Clinique superbalanced. Totally suits my skin and best foundation for me.

Pleased you like the BT, millie1, as I've been a big fan right back to the time 10 years or so ago when she only had a couple of shops in Paris. Glad they're available here now in the ever-expanding Space NK. Laura Mercier primer also excellent.

Haven't tried the BT Lumiere Veloutée - I'm a bit of a 'dewy finish' person myself - but will have to have a try next time I'm in Space NK.

Enjoy all the products you bought!
