Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to YSL Touche Eclat?

I have just run out and even buying it on ebay is to pricey for what it is......

Does anyone know of a good, cheaper alternative?

Thanks

Yes! Lacura beauty concealer pen from Aldi. It's brilliant, and everyone I've recommended it to agrees. Costs around £3 and even has posh packaging.

If you can't get the lacura pen then the collection 2000 illuminating concealor is good!

Primark do one for £2.50 which my sister says is just as good.

I just saw a sign in Boots for a new version of the Garnier rollerball pen which is supposed to lighten dark undereye circles using caffeine - go figure. This new version has peach-coloured packaging rather than the original apple green, and it's got a hint of concealer in it as well. Apparently it's sold exclusively at Boots now. If you mainly use YSL Touche Eclat for around your eyes like I do, it might be worth a try.

The Aldi pen is good, but you do get what you pay for. There is a difference in quality I think. However, I think it is a good buy for everyday use.

I actually prefer the Clarins concealer pen. You can get it for a reasonable price on beauty websites, possibly even on ebay. I was lucky enough to purchase a set which included this product.

Cheap Smells are usually good for YSL - http://www.cheapsmells.com/viewProduct.php?brand=Yves+Saint+Laurent&productSex=&pricerange=&category=&id=4475

I agree that you get what you pay for - I've used loads of other under-eye illuminators and nothing works like YSL. However, I'm currently using Benefit Erase Paste after a recommendation on here (got it for £5 on eBay) and really like it! Combining the two is working for me as Erase Paste is heaver than YSL, so apply that as a base with YSL on the top.

I like the Lacura and think it is comparable to the YSL but my absolute favourite at the moment is Maybelline instand rewind concealer - it is INCREDIBLE - covers up all under eye shadows completely! The only thing is that I have to get it off ebay because you can only get it in America - that being said I only paid £5 for two tubes and they last a long time so....
