Yves St Laurent - Touche Eclat!

[Slinky]

Does anyone know where you can buy YSL Touche Eclat?

Have heard so many excellent reviews, I am desperate to buy!

I live in the smallish seaside town with an average age of 70yo. Only have a Boots (small) to buy beauty/makeup stuff but doesn't sell Clarins or YSL

Are there any department stores/etc that stock it?

I got mine in John Lewis but Debenhams, House of Frazer and larger Boots have it too.

Or put it into Google & you get loads of mail order places.

One piece of advice I got from wise MNers is to regularly wash the brush bit to stop it smelling

You can buy it online, from here for instance

Arrgh, sorry Twink, I missed the middle line of your post.

ooooo..what a great stie tamum.

Touche eclat made the skin under my eyes really sore and scaly.

Made my undereyes sore and dry too - which defeats the purpose really. Makes the problem even more prominent!

I wa sllergic to it too - and I am never allergic to anything
Lookes lIke a panda that had sunburn

I am the connoseur of bag creams (though not of spelling!!!) and Boots do a version of it which is just as good
Either way, don't use face powder over it

Is it a boots no7 product?

Oooh thanks ladies

Fab site, Tamum - being a Clarins fan as well, may have to make an order!

Lisa78, I have got a Boots No 7 under-eye concealer thing - is that the one you were talking about?

If you are going to buy it on the internet buy from here . Much cheaper and no delivery charges in UK. Have never had any problems with them and stuff arrives within couple of days.

I use Touche Eclat and love it. Makes me look all bright eyed and bushey tailed !

The Boots one is by No7 and is about £10, half the price of the Touche Eclat. No difference as far as I can see but I prefer the gold swagger of the TE.

I'm a big fan, but I have noticed that now that I'm not wearing makeup to work 5 days a week the brush has gotten quite smelly as Twink says. I will definitely wash it now - lucky I didn't throw it out. I used to buy mine duty free when I or my DH travelled.

Love it loveit love it. Cannot live withought it , on my 4th tubs I think!!! Have very dark bags and look like death withought. We want sparkly melsy not merky melsy!!!
Great link Kayleigh , added to my online shopping faves now!!

Glad I can finally help you spend some money melsy

The Body Shop's version, Lightening Touch I think it's called, is pretty good, although I have never tried the real thing so cannot compare it.

Virgin Vie do a fabulous version for £8.50 - called "Out of the Shadows" and it's virtually indistinguishable from the real thing - you can order online from your local consultant ay www.virgincosmetics.co.uk.

I really can recommend it - it's great stuff !

I agree with Demented, the Body Shop one is really good. A friend used the Clarins one but it looked 'dry' under her eyes. I find the BS Lightening Touch creamy and easy to blend.

I tried The Body Shop one when I lived in Devon and had to drive for an hour to get to the nearest Yves St Laurent stockist (Slinky, I do sympathise!) but I do think Touche Eclat is far superior. The woman in The Body Shop (I mean she worked there) agreed with me. It's fab stuff I think.

Anothewr fan of Touche Eclat here also. I have headrd though from a few people that is is quite drying on the delicte under eye area if you wear it on a regular basis and you should smear vaseline on your eyes at bed time to rehydrate.

Nothing comes close to the real thing IMO I am afraid - is worth the extra money deffo!!

I have wasted god knows how much money over the years and always return to it!!

I can always get you one and send it to you if you want!!

Can you order it from the John Lewis website?

I'm another devotee - it's great! I get it from airports usually as I fly abroad for work and back home to scotland a lot. Ask someone who's going on hol to buy it for you, it's cheaper at the airport as well.
