Review: Le Teint Touche Éclat Foundation

Hey There!
Haven't posted in quite a while, it has been a busy few months. It is always hard to get back into the swing of things so I thought I'll start nice and simple and do a product review. 
This is a product for which I had high hopes for, and who didn't it is after all the love child of the Touche Éclat and a brand which never fails to deliver on quality but I must say I am a little underwhelmed about this foundation. 
Now I'm going to admit I'm very cautious about make-up in general, a high coverage foundation, for example wouldn't brush with me, but I can't even describe this as high coverage... it's just heavy.YSL describe it as 'Weightless Perfection' and that it certainly is not. With a finishing powder it's wearable, without it's dewy at it's max, and I personally prefer my foundation a little on the natural matte side.
Not only does it for me not deliver on the look and feel it also has an awful, pungent, garden smell. Cosmetics should either smell fresh and clean or smell of nothing at all. 
Although this has been a little negative so far I must say the packaging, as always, a hit. Classy and expensive feeling, and well at £28 it should be.
 All in all, if you're a fan of the dewy-look and don't mind a foundation that you can feel all day maybe this is worth a try, however for myself definitely not a re-purchase.
Oh and to add I do think I have a slightly paler shade than I should wear, the counter girl was extremely unhelpful, but what to expect at a suburban Debenhams!
I think I'll just stick with my £10 foundation and my Tocuhe Éclat!
