An alternative to Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat pen

Hey,

The "YVES SAINT LAURENT TOUCHE ECLAT, £23" has always been a staple of my make-up bag but I just can't justify the cost anymore! Can any ladies (or men!) out there recommend a cheaper alternative for covering those ghastly under eye circles?

    I heard that collection 2000's version is just as good. I havent tried it but only heard good things!

    The Lacura one from Aldi is amazing, a little thicker in consistency than YSL, but that's a good thing, as I find YSL just 'dissapears' into nowhere on my skin! Think it's around £1.99?


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    Techniq do a version in bodycare stores it's about £1.99 and it's very good. I have however just found something for under eye circles that I think is just amazing. It's the ganier tinted eye roll on pen thingy it's £9.99 but it is sooo worth it - seriously amazing and looks really natural which I found the touche eclat sometimes didn't.

    I swear by the boots brand one, No7. Its £12 I think, but is often on 3 for 2 so even cheaper then! God, I cant even think now what its called, I'm too lazy to get up and check!!! Thin black box anyway. ;)

    I love it, have used it now for a while after the body shop one rose in price. I have no circles, and its even better on photos, it really illuminates my skin!
  • L'Oreal's Touche Magique is the best alternative I've found. Might give the Lacura one a try after hearing about it here.
    From Starrystarrynight to Starrystarrynight1 and now I'm back...don't have a clue how!

    I have seen the Aldi version that hieveryone mentioned recommend in lots of womens magazines as the best alternative to Touche Eclat :)
