ALDI Cosmetics

I've lately been really impressed with the ALDI skincare and bodycare products I've tried. Affordable and effective. I especially love the Lacura Caviar Illumination day and night creams (review) and the Argan Oil range (review).

From the 17 April you will be able to pick up items from the new cosmetic range. I was sent a selection to try and have been really impressed with their performance and value.

The Lacura Eyeliner Pencils* will be £1.99 and available in Emerald (gorgeous), Black and Smoke. There is a handy blending brush on the other end. The colours are long lasting and easy to apply with no dragging.

The Lacura Eyebrow Pencil* (with shaping brush) will also be £1.99 and come in a choice of blonde and brunette. 

I've been really impressed with the quality and performance of the Lacura Concealer Pen* (£2.99). It easily blends away dark shadows and other imperfections. There will be three shades to suit sandy, rosy and darker complexions. I was sent shade 300 Amber which is near enough the perfect shade for me.

Also available to buy will be: Lacura Glossy Lip Balm (£1.99) in Red, Peach and Fresh Pink and Lacura 3-D Effect Mascara (£2.39) in Black which give fullness, volume, curve and length.

Pick yours up at Aldi from Sunday 17 April.

Update: ALDI Lacura Caviar Illumination Day & Night Creams

I was recently sent some products from ALDI's Lacura Argan Oil* & Caviar Illumination* ranges. See my thoughts HERE. I've now been using the Caviar day and night creams for a few weeks and I can honestly say they are great value for money as well as being very effective.

The packaging (especially of the night cream in it's heavy glass pot is very similar to that of La Prairie).

Both creams are quite rich although absorb quickly leaving the skin feeling nourished and uplifted. They have a pleasant slightly floral scent.

The day cream has the added benefit of SPF15 while the addition of snow algae (in all products) helps to promote collagen production in the skin. The addition of Caviar, a powerful anti-ageing ingredient nourishes, plumps, gives the skin a glowy look and helps with restructuring.  The night cream works it's wonders overnight leaving your skin supple and smooth when you awaken.

I've been so impressed with these creams both performance wise and price (a bargainous £6.99 for a 50ml pot). I know I'll definitely be picking these up again.

Buy yours at ALDI.

Budget Beauty: Aldi Lacura Argan Oil & Caviar Illumination Ranges

Aldi have some great skincare and bodycare ranges (I've recently spotted a Grape range which is free from parabens, silicons, mineral oils and also free from artificial colours). Next time I'm in Aldi I'm definitely checking it out!

Their Organic Argan Oil range is launching again for a limited time on 21 February. The range costs from £1.79 to £2.99 so it is very easy on the pocket. 

I've been testing out the Nurturing Shower Gel (£1.79) which gently cleanses the skin, Anti-ageing Body Lotion (£1.79) which you can actually feel firming and nourishing the skin as you use it, Anti-ageing Hand Cream (£1.79) which nourishes leaving the hands feeling soft and moisturised and Carino Cream Treatment (£2.99) which is suitable for all hair types but is especially good for smoothing down frizzy hair leaving it shiny, smooth and healthy. The products have a pleasant floral scent and work very well. My favourite is the Carino Cream Treatment.

I'm also testing out the Caviar Illumination Day and Night Creams (£6.99 each). I used to use La Prairie so I'm keen to see how they compare. I'll review these at a later date.

What's your favourite beauty product from Aldi?
