Although I don't shop there all the time because it's a little out of my way, I've recently been paying the odd visit to Aldi as I've discovered some of their products are of exceptional value. The last time I shopped there, whilst browsing their beauty products, I spotted a Lacura nail varnish to add to my collection. Shades of beige and brown seem to be included in this season's on trend colour palette and as this particular varnish was in a rather luscious looking chocolate shade, I popped it into my trolley. Lacura is a trade name exclusive to Aldi, although I have seen this brand on sale on various beauty websites, generally at discounted prices. I ...  Read the complete review

I am not really a high maintenance type of girl but occasionally I like to do girly and whilst shopping in Aldi yesterday I spotted a lovely colour nail polish and thought I would give it a go as I had read some good reviews about it! The polish The nail polish is by lacura beauty and comes in a long rectangular box which actually looks similar to some of the high end brands. The bottle is a tear drop shape and as the box has a cut out you can easily see the colour of the polish. The polish is unlike other cheap nail polishes nice and thick and cuts the brush put doesn't just rip back into the bottle I found that the polish was easy to apply ...  Read the complete review

I must admit I looked out for this nail polish at our local Aldi store, having read the revue by Lady Bracknell, and I haven't been disappointed. This is the time of year when my feet come out of hiding in winter boots, and into sandals, so around this time I often invest in some new nail polish. And at only £1.99 for a 10ml bottle it doesn't cost much. I selected a shade called Crystal Glow. This may be a little pale for some people,but trying it first on my fingernails, I find it a lovely warm, subtle shade of pink, with a golden irridescent sheen. It is easy to apply, not too thick, however before it dries the smell of it is extremely powerful, ...  Read the complete review

Aldi's Lacura products are my new budget beauty buys and so far everything that I have bought in the range have been just as good as midrange products such as those from Maybelline and L'Oreal. The nail varnish is excellent with the only downfall to it being that it doesn't have the choice of colours that the bigger brands do or at least my local Aldi doesn't. They do however have all the basic colours and I have a pink, a peach and a red one. The red is gorgeous and is a really rich vibrant colour while the peach and the pink are lovely and shimmery and have a nice gloss to them. Unlike some other cheap nail varnishes these ones don't need 3 or 4 ...  Read the complete review

For years I have indulged in the most expensive beauty products on the market, trying, as we all eventually do, to turn back the clock of time and any traces of fine lines and deeper wrinkles, as promised, on the most extravagant eye catching packaging. The one thing I can honestly say I have reduced is my bank balance, much to the dismay of my very easy going Husband, that was until I discovered one of the cheapest range of products on the market Aldi's Lacura. Wow!!! I dont know where to begin, I cannot print my findings quick enough. The Lacura range of beauty products and creams start at the amazingly low price of £1.99 all the way up to the startlingly low price  Read the complete review
