Yves Saint Laurent Touché Eclat!

     I thought it was definitely time that I shared one of my absolute favourite products with you. As you can see from the rather fetching photo below, I suffer with very dark under eye circles (much worse than they look in the photo, I promise!).

        Even under full make up they tend to show up and I have always struggled to find anything that conceals them properly. Everything I tried either barely covered anything, or was so thick and pigmented that it stuck out like a nun in a porn shop . I have been desperate to find something subtle enough that I can pop a bit on and go without any other make up, and my prayers have been answered in the form of Yves Saint Laurent's Touché Eclat.
     
        It is a highlighter and concealer and is fabulous in many many ways. It retails at about £20 but you get the occasional bargain - I found mine in the amazon lightning deals after Christmas for £13. Like all high end products, it looks and feels lovely. It comes packaged in gold, which I admit I'm a sucker for, and feels... good. It feels like a nice product.

Being pretty pale, I went for the lightest shade, 1 Luminous Radiance, but there are about nine shades to choose from. You click the bottom, and spread it on with the brush at the top. Below is the swatch and next to it, the product blended.

       

 It feels quite thin and as you can see blends to virtually invisible, so  I wasn't particularly optimistic that I would get great coverage from it, but I was pleasantly surprised. I dabbed a thin layer on in the darkest areas of my eyes and blended with a finger - I'd get a better finish from a brush I think, but I'm still pretty happy. You can see a side by side comparison on my wonky eyes below, I have the touché Eclat on the right eye, nothing on the left.

I've finally found something I can pop on and go out without bothering with a full face o' slap. And I get to have my freckles on display, yay freckles!
