Advantages: Effective, natural looking, light, 3 shades to choose from

Disadvantages: If you have more money to spend, Touche Eclat is a bit better

I used to use the brilliant YSL Touche Eclat, but sadly my bank balance has forced me to find a cheaper alternative - and so I tried this!
It isn't quite as effective as Touche Eclat, but it's pretty damn close, and at about £10 cheaper it's an excellent alternative.
It's designed for use under the eye to hide dark circles and puffiness and I think it does a brilliant job. As a long-time insomniac my eyes are far from free of dark circles, but this product hides them really well. I also think it feels really light and blends into the skin really well. I've found the best way to apply it is to brush it on all around the eye and leave it to sink in for a bit, and then blend the rest. It looks really natural, as long as you get the right shade for you. There are 3 different shades; one with more pinky undertones, one with more yellowy undertones and then another darker one - so just go to the counter and test which one suits your skin best!
No product will ever beat Touche Eclat in my opinion, but this is a brilliant and cheaper alternative, and there isn't very much different in results at all!
Highly recommended.

Summary: Definitely recommended!
