Aldi do one.

SantasWearingHisTrampyPants · 20/12/2012 08:12

I love the no7 light diffusing concealor. Fab texture and good coverage without being too heavy.

takeonboard · 20/12/2012 08:14

There is only 1 Touche Eclat !

missmartha · 20/12/2012 08:31

There is, but the Aldi one is pretty darned close.

I swapped a year or so ago, honestly theres hardly any difference.

pickledsiblings · 20/12/2012 08:54

Benefit erase paste.

GregorSamsa · 20/12/2012 08:58

What is the Aldi one called?

mycatlikestwiglets · 20/12/2012 09:31

I second Benefit erase paste - have just been converted to it after using Dior Skinflash (which is like Touche Eclat but better imo) for years. Erase paste is far better at covering up my dark circles and has the benefit you can use it as a general concealer too. You only need a tiny bit, I reckon the pot will last for ages

MariaMandarin · 20/12/2012 09:34

Agree, the Aldi one is good. I've only ever sampled Touché Éclat but I don't see how it could be much better.

Curtsey · 20/12/2012 10:24

ALDI!!!!!! I used Touche Éclat for years but will not bother forking out ever again. The Aldi one is really very good.

It's the Lacura brand, and the pen is silver. Not sure what the official name is but you'll know it when you see it.

I use and highly recommend mac mineralize concealer but also like benefit erase paste although find it sinks into my lines a little (bit heavy maybe?)

wasabipeanut · 20/12/2012 10:32

Body Shop do a good one.

Catsdontcare · 20/12/2012 10:33

Yup aldi one is great I swapped from touché éclat to aldi a couple of years ago. I'm still stunned now that I used to spend that much on a concealer!

snowtunesgirl · 20/12/2012 10:35

The Barbara Daly Tesco one is good but one of choice is the Kanebo one. It conceals much better than Touche Eclat and I find the Touche Eclat has a habit of going mouldy. Yuck.

squoosh · 20/12/2012 10:43

I have never understood the fuss with Touche Éclat.

squoosh · 20/12/2012 10:44

Also it's not intended to be a concealer, it's a highlighter.

mamaonion · 20/12/2012 12:11

I have used boots no 7 one quite happily, and if you get it with a £5 off voucher it's pretty good value

stookiesackhouse · 20/12/2012 12:12

Another one here for the no7 equivalent.

fourfingerkitkat · 20/12/2012 18:12

Asda George highlighter is better than the Aldi one I think. The shade I use has a slight pinky tone so is great for waking up my eyes...I apply in the corner of my eyes and directly under my lower lash line. Use another concealer for the dark circles...

SrirachaGirl · 20/12/2012 18:14

Clinique Airbrush Concealer.

ggirl · 20/12/2012 20:51

agree the Aldi one is excellent and comes in a few different shades
for £3.99 you can't go wrong really

DollyDaisy · 20/12/2012 21:07

The Boots one is apparently made in the same factory as Touché Éclat

MustafaCake · 20/12/2012 21:15

There's a thread on S&B now with a code for 40% touche eclat and all YSL products - get over there!

ArcticRoll · 20/12/2012 21:29

Agree with others about Aldi cheapo one and more expensive Clinique one -around £14 so still cheaper than YSL . However my favourite at moment is Garnier Anti dark circles one -around £6 .

AViewfromtheFridge · 20/12/2012 21:49

The Aldi one has been repackaged and is now a black pen, still just as good though! Comes in a pinky tone and a more olive one. I like the No 7 one too, but it's about three times the price!

SecondhandRose · 22/12/2012 08:55

Can't find the code! Where is it please?
