    Hi,
    Tescos do a version of Touche Eclat that works quite well and its much cheaper. Also i believe Avon have bought one out but i haven't tried it.

    Superdrug are doing Touche Eclat at £15 at the moment http://www.superdrug.com/ though don't know if that's just online.

    It's in store too, I bought some there a couple of weeks ago. Have used it for about 6-7 years now. I wouldn't leave the house without it on!
    I once ran out and hadn't got another in the house, and went to work without any on. Everyone told me I looked poorly and that I should go home! I think it was just the lack of touche eclat as I was fine.

    I think it's a brill product and well worth the money. The things I spend the most on are foundation and touche eclat, because I believe these are the things can make you look "cheap" if not done properly. I am not saying all cheap foundations are rubbish, you just must find one that is perfect for you and stick to it, even if it is expensive.
  • Touche Eclat is fab and well worth the extra money IMHO. It lasts forEVER and so I don't begrudge paying a lot for it.

    I bought the avon one and found the consistency really thin. So have gone back to Touche eclat.

  • I bought the Body Shop one which was cheaper than Touche Eclat but only lasted me about 2 weeks. Ditto for the Bourgois version. T.E. lasts me months so I've gone back to it, but usually buy it online through Rpoints.
  • I adore touche eclat. I have very pale skin, and no problems with spots / marks etc, so I don't use foundation. But I do tend to have dark circles under my eyes.

    It's expensive, for sure, but I use it a lot, and it's brilliant. And a tube lasts for absolutely ages.

    I've had 2 or 3 Touche Eclats, and they do go off - they end up smelling awful!
    I have tried the Boots No 7 and it is quite good but is a lot lighter and you seem to need a lot less - there are 3 shades to choose from.
    NO EXCUSES - THIS YEAR IT'S PERSONAL..........

    Collection 2000 do one called Illuminating Touch which is sort of equivalent (probably not quite as good but certainly much cheaper).


    I've got this and its excellent for the money! i haven't tried the expensive one...but this is great!
  • I bought a loreal mascara one day and they were giving away a free product,Loreal Touche Magique.I always had used touche eclat before but have never bought it since since trying the Loreal version.It does the same job and I actually prefer it as it seems better for me personally.I think it's around £7 to buy.
