If you like Chanel Vitalumiere cream foundation...

[DamnYouAutocorrect]

... you might be interested to know that No 7 Lift and Luminate Foundation seems to be exactly the same. It even smells the same.

Public service announcement!

ooo
thanks :-)

I might give that a whirl- thanks for the tip

No probs. I bought it on impulse and have been extremely smug about it ever since.

Oooh thanks for tip. Also have £5 No7 voucher so even more of a bargain.

Blimey will go and have a look - mind you I only use it under my eyes as started after realised that touche eclait gave me reverse panda eyes so lasts for ages.

But a money saver is not to be sniffed at!

Thanks for the tip, I am always on the lookout for a good foundation recommendation.

Touche Eclat makes my undereye bags go flaky and scaly, think I'm allergic.

Oh I'm using that at the moment.
I did thin of upgrading to Chanel after seeing recommendations here but I won't bother now!!

Thanks

Thanks.Boots hide and chic i also v good

I get this too DamnYouAutocorrect.

Is your Touche Eclat old? I had the same and emailed the company about it. They said that it must be used within three months (or maybe it was six) or is more likely to cause this. If you google it seems to happen to quite a lot of people.

Anyway, they sent me a new tube and it has been fine - no allergy.

Thanks namechanges. Three months, I'd never get through a tube of TE that quickly! They should make it half the size and half the price Happy with my Garnier roll on at the moment. Anyway my bags and shadows are so bad, it's almost got to the point where there's no point putting makeup on them.

Yep I thought it was stupid too.
I must have had this current tube a year though and it hasn't caused a reaction so I'm really not sure what's going on there.

Just spent £££ on the real thing but thanks - will give it a try

namechanges i got that with touche eclat, assumed it was due to bacteria so chucked that one and got a new one. exactly the same thing happened. i don't know if they have changed the formulation or whatever but i can't be doing with it now.
am giving the ByTerry a whirl instead.

should have said - exactly the same thing happened with newly opened tube - bought after i had given my eyes time to heal

btw damnyou thanks for the tip - am working my way through Bobbi Brown but might give this a whirl next...

I'm in love with the real thing though. I may try it as back up. I never use those vouchers they give you at the till. Wish I'd kept the last one now!

Same thing happened to me with a brand new tube of Touche Eclat too. Although I had been using the product for years (though different tubes!)

Me too - with the Touche Eclat!
I was told to wash the brush end more often by the orange lady.
Wouldn't have minded but i did used to wash it because it smelt a bit rank.. and now i know why. I was also told that it had been open too long (6 months)!!

Is the £5 No7 voucher out then?
Might try the lift and luminate for when I've finished the Maybelline eraser (which I do now think is rather good too.)

Well, I bought some today- running total of MN-inspired purchases now racks up to something like £2,345.75...

I will let you know how I get on

I discovered the No 7 as substitute for VL last year! I actually prefer the No 7 one as the Chanel gives me spots if I use it too frequently...

I LOVE those vouchers, I've needed to stock up on baby stuff lately, so split the transactions and got about 4 vouchers, so I've bought a nude lip liner (apparently a must have), the protect and perfect handcream (a bit too 'perfumy' for me but about 4 quid so who cares), a pewter eye mousse which is lovely and a tinted moisturiser for days when I can't be bothered to apply primer and foundation.

I know, I am a marketing mans dream!

Well that's all very well, OP, but I've just spent £31 on the Chanel Vitalumiere the day after you started this thread, because I didn't see it . Could you use a klaxon next time please?

I'm in boots now but not very inspired
