Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

Before I get down to reviewing this product I have to state from the off that I don't wear make up every single day. In fact I can go weeks without wearing a scrap, even though I am fully aware of the fact that I certainly could make better use of it as I advance in years. However I do love to buy make up and over the years have remained cheerfully disloyal to most brands - usually because if I find a product I really like they have a habit of discontinuing it - with one notable exception. Similarly, I tend to buy cheap or mid range cosmetics - with one notable exception. The notable exception ... more

I have long been a fan of Touche Eclat by Yves St Laurent and first started to use it when I was in my early twenties and continue to use it to this day. I use make up six days a week with only Sunday off as my ‘rest day’ and this can take its toll on my skin. Also, as I reached my late twenties and then turned thirty, I did notice a significant difference tot the skin under my eyes. It didn’t become wrinkly, but I have noticed it has thinned a little and made my dark circles a lot more prominent. When I first started to use Touche Eclat (or Radiant Touch, to give it its English name) it was ... more

I have always been quite lucky in having clear skin on my face. Unfortunately it would seem the bags under my eyes more that make up for this. Throughout the years I have tried everything to try and reduce there appearance. This ranges from making sure I have the right amount of sleep, to drinking plenty of water and using specialist creams. It seemed that nothing would shift the almost industrial sized black bags under my eyes. Trawling through a magazine one afternoon many years ago I came across an advertisement for YSL Touché Éclat (Radiant Touch) I had heard many good things about this ... more

Recently, in the hectic return to university, I've been burning the candle at both ends a bit and it's begun to play havoc with my complexion. Huge red spots appearing all over my face and dark circles under my eyes which make me look as if I've been in a fight and lost! Rather unfairly, none of my friends seem to suffer from their equally busy lifestyle in the same way as me at all! Ah, such is life! However, there is one product that remains my lifesaver in such times of need and that is my Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch to us plebs!). It claims to "add highlight, refresh ... more

I have unfortunately inherited a few nasty genes from my mother, the majority of which I won’t share on this site, luckily for anyone reading this opinion. The inheritance I will be writing about today is huge, dark bags below my eyes. I may ‘only’ be 36, but I have had baggy, dark eye sacks since I was in my early 20s. I have tried a number of creams supposed to reduce either or both conditions, but nothing has ever worked. Then I read an opinion by Miss-D on Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat and I hoped my prayers had been answered. The product does not claim to reduce eye ... more
