As someone who has pale sensitive/dry skin it is a nightmare for me to find a good foundation. I have tried numerous brands and at around £10 a pot this is quite expensive. However after reading good reviews on this site and visiting Aldi I decided to buy this foundation, my reasoning was that it was cheap so if it didn't work then at least I hadn't wasted a fortune. After trying it I am certainly glad I didn't waste more money on it, this foundation did not suit my skin at all. Even the palest shade left my skin with a dodgy looking orange tint. I tried this foundation both on top of moisturiser and just on clean skin and both times at first it seems to go on ...  Read the complete review

Ill admit i bought this product merely out of laziness, it was just to last me a few days until i could go and buy a 'proper' foundation. I have to say at £2.59 i am astonished by this foundation. The foundation, sadly, is only available in a few limited colours, however on evaluation i think this is actually a good thing. The colours available are basically light, medium, dark (although with different names). Being a lightly tanned person i decided to go for the medium (Beige). The foundation i later found out, is amazingly easy to apply, it goes on smoothly and evenly with hardly any effort needed. Once applied the foundation feels silky ...  Read the complete review

I have seen this a few times in my local Aldi store priced at £2.59 a bottle and actually never considered buying something unbranded before. By that I mean I tend to opt to buy make up that I know of and spend alot in fact out on it but i do appreciate the good stuff! However I have recently been helping my mate move house and I spotted this bottle of make up in her possession. With not a lot in it my mate was kicking it out so I swiped it to see if it's any good thinking that if it was I'd make a saving in the future by buying this! The Packaging: 30ml plastic light gold colour plastic bottle with a twist on cap/lid to the bottom of it ...  Read the complete review

~Why?~ Adapting to the current climate I have made various changed in my life and become a lot more aware of where my pennies have been going. For regular readers - I'm still off the ciggies . It's been about 6 weeks, I've had puffs here and there, but not bought a box (Success). ~What?~ In my quest to try the cheapest things out there (without it being false economy) I noticed in my local Aldi, Lacura foundation in 4 shades, Sun, Bronze, Beige and Transparent. 30ml for a Crunching £2.59. I thought to myself that we will give that a go. Even on false economy, if it works it will save me a fortune, if not a normal cheap foundation will cost £6 - ...  Read the complete review

I apologise for using this tired old phrase yet again, but "in the current climate" (sigh) I am surprised that this product hasn't already had more reviews. I'm guessing that for a lot of us, especially the real cosmetic fans, economising on make up is a step too far. Still, I'm pleased to say that I had no such qualms preventing me from grabbing this foundation off the shelf when I saw it for sale in Aldi for £2.59. Yes - Aldi! And yes - £2.59! I'm not a committed Aldi shopper, but the stores seem to be springing up everywhere, and there are some things that they undeniably do very well. More of those things another time, but ...  Read the complete review
