touche eclat budget replacement

I no longer have a touche eclat budget so am looking for a fab budget replacement tinted highlighter to take its place and hide my dark circles.

I have found the George at Asda one pretty good. And I am a regular user of touche éclat

Loreal do a copy called Touche Magique which I think is better than Touche Eclat.

I'm not usually a fan of maybelline, but their under eye concealer is amazing (and cheap)

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 11/04/2015 15:17

The Aldi one (think its brand is Lacura)

ScarlettInSpace · 11/04/2015 15:19

Another vote for the Loreal Touche Magique, much better than ysl in my opinion, I've used it for years now and wouldn't go back

AnnaBegins · 11/04/2015 15:27

Aldi one is awesome but not on sale until October. Worth a trip there though.

Bodyshop's um.... universal Primer? Does dark circles, primes eyelids, covers red bits round nose. £10 ish. Feels nicer than yak. Much less chalky.

WhiteHairReally · 11/04/2015 16:45

Yak? YSL!

The boots number 7 one is good, its usually made cheaper by the offers that they always seem to have on.

DrankSangriaInThePark · 11/04/2015 21:21

The Collection 2000 or whatever it's called now. About £4 from Wilko. Much better than touche eclat as it doesn't stink like dirty dishcloths after 3 days.

£4 amazing.

Anna, does that mean the Lacura one is coming back permanently?

MilkThistle187 · 12/04/2015 18:06

Yy the collection 2000 one is amazing, so like the YSL. Bought it after reading about it here

imjustahead · 12/04/2015 18:13

yep collection one is great, i also bought it after seeing it recommended on mumsnet.

ephemeralfairy · 12/04/2015 19:18

I have a Maybelline one which is great, it's a tube with a brush applicator like Touche Eclat, I think it's called Dream Touch...

Also L'oreal Touche Magique is good too.

AnnaBegins · 12/04/2015 20:34

4forksake afraid not! it will hopefully be a twice a year special buy, but only in October this year.

4forksake · 12/04/2015 23:53

Thanks Anna. Wonder why just the special cos it sold out pretty fast when it was on special last year. Got all excited for a moment Grin

BlackBettyBamALam · 12/04/2015 23:57

Reading with interest, I definitely need this!

gingerfluffball · 13/04/2015 04:17

Off to check out the L'Oreal and Collection 2000 ones online, thanks - was just musing about this very question OP!

PeppermintCrayon · 13/04/2015 04:42

Seventeen's Phwoarr Paint is great - it's probably more like Benefit's Erase Paste than Touche Eclat, but worth a mention all the same!

TeamEponine · 13/04/2015 05:17

I have the Rimmel one and am impressed with it. Previously I was using no 7, but they changed the formula and I'm now allergic to it.

nickdrakeslovechild · 14/04/2015 20:29

I can recommend Collection 2000, i have tried lots of different ones and this is by far the best.
