We're celebrating women and power this International Women's Day, and here's a product and gift launch to give our girlpower a boost.

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear (RRP €41)

Lancome are launching a free gift promo tomorrow, 9th March, which is perfect timing for the launch of their reinvented foundation – one that set to become an ally to powerful women everywhere.

Lancome’s Teint Idole Ultra 24h foundation has been around for 20 years. Now it becomes Teint Idole Ultra Wear, with an updated mantra attached to answer every woman’s need.

Strong women and #BossGirls will can choose their secret weapon and express who they are with a radiant and velvety complexion and long-lasting perfection.

To celebrate the re-launch of their best-selling Ultra Wear foundation in 40 shades, Lancôme have selected one inspiring woman to represent each skintone.

Irish violinist and Dublin girl Cathy O’Neill represents the pretty and pale toned #005.

On a day like International Women’s Day today, it’s even more special to highlight powerful women. Forty women and 40 shades means that all types of females and all ethnicities are represented. We lead busy lives and deciding on a foundation shade is not something we have much time for – you can pick up a sample shade at any Lancome counter this month to see if it’s right for you.

We all deserve a present for our hard work as women in today’s world. If you’re planning to pick up a new foundation then this month is the perfect time. If you buy two or more Lancome products in selected chemists between March 9th and 26th, you will get a free gift with high-quality products that are ideal for cleansing and nourishing your skin.
