Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat is a product that I have always been a little unsure of. Working for an airline and it always being a popular product upon the duty free cart, I have sold it to so many ladies who have always been extremely excited about it, but I personally have never really been sold on this pen like cosmetic. I can't quite put my finger on why, as it really is so heavily raved about it for it's corrective and highlighting qualities that normally would be right up my street.
I think I maybe saw it as quite a lot of money for the amount of product you get and so recently when I had the opportunity to shop with a little bit of discount, I thought I would give it a go and pick up the Collectors edition, just because.
The product normally comes in a sleek mirrored Gold tube rather than this sparkly edition and comes in seven shades. Strangely with this Limited Edition Touche Éclat, I was only able to get it in one shade, No 1 Rose Lumiere- The Original Highlighter, which to be honest I find a little too Pink toned for me.
It's supposed to work to give your face and make up instant light, luminosity and radiance and in turn, help to banish areas of darkness. I find it does help to lighten my dark circles of a morning quite nicely and maybe the Pink tones help with that, but honestly, that's all I find it does for me and I don't think the price is justified for 2.5ml of product.
It's supposedly one of the United Kingdoms best-selling make up products and is seen as a handbag essential by so many, but unfortunately, as convenient as the pen, button click and brush is, I can't help but feel I would have been better off with a better value highlighter and concealer.
As the self confessed make up obsessed girl that I am, I do like to have this in my collection and really hope I grow to like it, maybe I'm using it wrong? I would love to know how you use this product and whether it's an essential for you.
Touche Éclat costs £25 is available on YSL Beauty and is available at all Yves Saint Laurent counters including Debenhams, House of Fraser, John Lewis and Selfridges.
