YSL Touche Eclat VS L'oreal Touche Magique

Finally, the battle between the two most popular high-end and drug store highlighting concealers.. 

Hello everyone, so iv decided to do this blog post as its been highly requested. I was genuinely excited to write this blog post as I happen to own both and if your obsessed with make-up like me and heard a lot about these products then hopefully you'll have a read :) Enjoy 

1. L'oreal Touche Magique highlighting concealers 

 I first bought this when my YSL touche eclat ran out and I wanted to find a highlighter which was similar that I could use everyday instead of my touche eclat. I found this product in superdrug and I decided to get it as it was much cheaper RRP: £8.19. So this is what the product claims to do...

"L'Oréal Paris True Match Touche Magique Concealer is an anti-fatigue and illuminating concealer which helps to visibly improve the appearance of dark circles and fine lines, leaving the delicate skin around the eye area looking radiant and smooth.

Now available in 6 new customised shades, in warm, cool and neutral tones to perfectly match the colour texture of your skin.

L'Oréal Paris True Match Touche Magique has a soft brush applicator, making precise and controlled application easy."

...Sounds amazing doesn't it? It basically just sounds like the touche eclat but at the fraction of the cost! Well iv been the proud owner of this for a couple of months now and I honestly think its brilliant if you've never used the YSL Touche Eclat. 

I didn't like the packaging of this too much and I thought it looked very plasticy and cheap as the product is dispensed my twisting the end until the bristles (which surprisingly are not that soft) are loaded, but I honestly wasn't too fussed for the price of it. I wouldn't recommend this product for spots at all as it is a highlighting concealer so you are very limited in what you can do with it- I usually only use it under the eyes on top of my foundation, down the centre of my nose and on the brow bone which is where light naturally hits your face. I honestly do this gets rid of dark circles around the the eyes as it has quite a thick constancy but it iv noticed after a couple of hours it creases under the eye and into any fine lines around the eye which makes this also  harder to blend compared to the touche eclat. I love that this comes is a variety of tones from pink to yellow tones as this means it can match more skin colours just like the touche eclat I do think this is good for the price and I do still use it for everyday as it makes my skin look more awake but unfortunately it doesn't last me very long and I don't think anything will beat my YSL Touche Eclat.

2. YSL Touche Eclat 

Okay so I know this is a bit pricey £19.00( http://www.cheapsmells.com/productPaging.php?productId=4475 ) but once you get over that this product is just..wow. Definitely one of my handbag must haves. This product claims to..

• ' The UK's #1 luxury face makeup product!* For instant light, luminosity and radiance.
• Light falls in love with the skin, banishing darkness & signs of fatigue and adding instant radiance. The must-have pen of makeup artists, Touche Éclat is the one beauty essential no woman should ever be without.

I cant stress enough how amazing this product is and how you should all buy it but I'll leave that up to you. I recommend this to everyone as I think its amazing value for money and lasts forever!!!! The formula is not as thick and the L'Oreal touche magique therefore a lot goes a long way! This is suitable for ALL skin types therefore not only do I use this on myself I also have it in my kit as well.
 This world-famous, take-anywhere pen-brush is perfect for highlighting and refreshing make-up. Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Eclat has tiny light particles and mineral extracts to create a healthy, natural glow - light, luminosity and radiance at the click of a button.

Use to add a radiant touch of light or banish shadows and signs of fatigue from the eye area, the hollow of the chin, the contour of the lips and the sides of the nose. All of your best feature's will be highlighted!

With this product, the tube is nicely made. The product dispensed by clicking until it appears on the bristles. The bristles themselves are silky soft against the skin, its effortless to blend and never emphasises my fine lines. I usually just use this on nights out or special occasions as I never want it run out. I lovelovelovee the gold packaging its totally classy and not cheap looking at all and I wouldn't expect anything less from YSL, but more importantly looks GREAT in your handbag! 

So, that's my opinion on both of them now I would love to hear yours! 

Hope you enjoyed reading and please leave a comment:)
