If dark circles under your eyes are the bane of your beauty regime, then The Body Shop's Lightening Touch is the product for you. The product itself is a tinted cream of a similar consistancy to liquid foundation, which promises to lighten the skin around your eyes and make dark circles less noticable. It comes in a fancy silver tube divided into three segments. The bottom segment is twisted to get the cream to come out the top, the middle segment holds the cream and the top segment has a brush to help you apply the cream. I find the brush quite bristley and plastic, though, so I tend to use my fingertip. The best way to use the product is to dab ...  Read the complete review

The Body Shop Lightening Touch Concealer is a product that has been a staple for me for a couple of years now. It is meant to be a highlighter-type concealer, in the vein of Yves St. Laurent's Touche Eclat, brightening the under-eye area whilst simultaneously camouflaging dark circles. The Body Shop recently re-packaged this product, along with the rest of their makeup line. While I don't argue the line was in need of a face lift - the old packaging had seemingly been around forever - I do take issue with this particular product's repackaging. I bought the new, silver pen-style concealer pen recently. I had used the dregs of the old container, which was a ...  Read the complete review

I never used to use concealer, the only make up i ever wore was eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. But a couple of years ago i got sick and tired of doing my eye make up only to have it look rubbish because i had dark circles under my eyes. So i walked into boyd shop and bought my usual eyeshadows from there, and was told there was an offer on ( i think it was spend a certain amount and get cheapest free or something), as i was apprehensive about buying it as i'd never used it and it seemed quite expensive at £14 a pop, i decided to go for it. I asked the helpful assistant in the shop what would be the best, she actually told me to sit down and she ...  Read the complete review

I purchased the updated version of The Body Shops Lightening Touch pen last month and at £14 for 3ml, it's very good value for money. It's probably most known for being a rival to YSL Touche Eclat (which retails at around £20-£25). The Body Shop website describes it like "This magic little wand gives light relief to dark circles and fine lines and instantly brightens the skin. Contains ingenious little light-diffusing particles minimize fine lines and dark shadows". I could not agree more! I am a very light sleeper/work long 10-12 hour shifts and dark circles are a major concern for me. I may only be 20 but my gosh, they are ...  Read the complete review

The Lightening Touch is a great little secret weapon make up product. If you have darker shadows under your eyes this is the perfect product for you. It comes in two shades, a light, yellow toned one and a slightly darker pink toned one. It is best to test them in the shop to find out which will be most effective for you. It costs £9.36 at the moment, however, it used to be around £12 so perhaps this is in the sale. To use, simply turn the end of the pen for about two clicks. This dispenses enough of the product for one eye on to the little brush. Ensure that you have applied your foundation BEFORE you use the Lightening Touch. Place along the dark ...  Read the complete review
