Touche Eclat - is there a good (and cheaper!) alternative?

I really like Touche Eclat, but are there any recommendations for good cheaper alternatives please?

(Apart from a rejuvinating month off from the kids I wish!)

Boots No 7 do a similar thing which I use - illuminating something or other (I have never used Touche Eclat but I remember similar threads in the past where people who have say the Boots one is just as good).

here (not illuminating anything, actually - instant radiance)

Virgin Vie's one is fabulous - called "Out of the Shadows" - was modelled on Touche Eclat and is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing - unless you look at price label of course !

I use the Boots one and find it just as good as the Touch Eclat stuff.

I heard the Barbara Daly 'makeup' range at Tesco had started doing one which was supposed to be good.

Thank you all

I'm just about out of Touche Eclat, but it's so expensive. I'll have a look out for your suggestions. I need something to cover up the ravages of the Summer holidays!

hiya my friend sells virgin vie bits and they do an alternative which is called out of shadows and its lovely. i bought some last night and id say its just as good!

Hi, I love it too, but now I've found this:

Touche Magique from L'Oreal, I'd say it was exactly the same as the more expensive one. I'd definately recommend it. HTH

I don't know whether you have a Savers or Bodycare shop in your area but I bought a illuminating concealer from both of these shops and it cost either £2.49 or £2.99 and it is brilliant. It is in silver packaging in a pen format same as touche eclait. I have used touche eclait and have to say that this cheaper option really is fab!!

virgin vie do one that is identical

the tesco one is ok but is a bit thin. it sort of puts me off using the liquid ones they always seem to be a bit sheer.
