Lacura Volumising Mascara

I'm not a regular Aldi shopper but we do have one close to the centre of town so I nipped in there the other day, picking up a few essentials. Along with the bread and milk, I found myself looking at the (small) range of make up items that Aldi now stock, under the brandname 'Lacura'. I've read mixed reviews of the range in general but needed a new mascara and their Voluminising Mascara seemed worth a punt at just £2.59. I tend to use the lower end of the branded make up market - Rimmel and Max Factor and suchlike, nohing too expensive for my tastes and budget! Even these brands can cost upwards of £10 for a pretty basic mascara so I thought this had got to ...  Read the complete review

The Lacura Mascara was a real let down. When you open the applicator, it is FULL of mascara. You have to remove most of the product before you can begin to apply to your lashes.

Indeed, you could argue that it's even more important to get a boost from looking in the mirror when you certainly don't get one from looking at your bank statement. The Aldi Lacura range includes this volumising mascara, I paid £2.09 for ...  Read the complete review

Credit crunching recession has me looking for bargains in the weirdest places. Now something is only a bargain if you use it - right? Well a few weeks ago I had seen in my weekly Aldi magazine that they had started doing make up - not by Aldi, but a brand exclusive to Aldi. Lacura. Sounds nice eh - Dead posh You will see by the picture - this is what the mascara looks like in a dark silver - quite classy packaging, this comes in - it has to be said - an oversized box, too much packaging for this day in age I think. All the same it is nice packaging. But I digress. I purchased an 8ml Black volumising Mascara for just over £2. A bargain ...  Read the complete review
