Advantages: Price, effect,look

Disadvantages: none really

Being blessed with olive skin I can get away without wearing much makeup. Its a good job as it can proove a costly past time and with my part time wage being stretched to the limits with a toddler not long started school and a house move imminent, Id feel guilty spending much money on myself at the moment.

After a recent outbreak of coldsores left me with a scar above my top lip I'd been meaning to pick up a compact powder to dab it with to make it less noticeable at work.
As mentioned, Ive forgotten how to treat myself lately and only remembered that this was on my shopping list on a recent trip to Aldi.

My local Aldi had this in 3 different shades to best match your skin colouring. At £1.89, albeit I dont buy much make up, I knew that it was a bargain price.
The compact shell is sturdy pewter coloured plastic, its actually rather nice looking and Im not embarrased to be seen with it. THe case opens easily with the compact powder one side and a mirror on the other. It comes with one pad which seems quite 'disposable' and I suspect that the compact will far outlive this.
THe product weighs 10g and Lacura claims to give your skin a natural, smooth appearance.
AS mentioned previously Im not a make up fanatic, I cant compare it to the leading brands but I can tell you that it does the job for me. One dab and my scar is far less noticeable. If I put it on a larger area it makes my skin feel extremely soft and look quite flawless.
Im extremly happy with this for the price and it does the job that I intended it to do. Ill be keeping one in my handbag from now on.

Summary: Even if you buy it as a spare for your desk drawer Id say definately try one
