  • What’s New In Aldi For Skincare?

    Aldi’s own brand Lacura gets a lot of attention, and rightly so. They bring out products that are interesting, exciting and sometimes dupes of well known brands, but all at affordable prices. Every time I go into my local store I always check to see what’s new and my last trip didn’t fail me. So what new products did I spot in Aldi recently?

    Lacura’s Micellar Cleansing Water

    Gentle on the skin, fragrance free and contains ceramides and niacinamide, Lacura’s Micellar Cleansing Water is supposed to remove make-up and dirt gently but effectively. £2.99 for 250ml.

    Lacura’s Hydrating Cleanser

    Formulated for normal to dry skin, Lacura’s Hydrating Cleanser contains ceramides, hyaluronic acid and is fragrance free. This cleanser should clean without stripping the skin of it’s natural oils. £3.99 for 236ml.

    Lacura’s Moisturising Cream

    This works perfectly alongside the Micellar Cleansing Water and Hydrating Cleanser, containing ceramides and hyaluronic acid. Lacura’s Moisturising Cream is for dry to very dry skin, and not just for the face but the whole body too. Fragrance free, quick absorption, moisturises instantly but long lasting. £3.99 for 250ml.

    These three products packaging wise, ingredients (some) and the skin types they’re aimed towards makes these look like dupes of the skincare brand CeraVe. Will these be identical? Probably not. Similar? Possibly? Cheaper? Most definitely! Always compare ingredients to see how dupes compare to the original counterparts. But as stand alone products these are items I would want to purchase to use because they tick my skin boxes.

  • Products, Purchases & More In The Month Of July

    July has been an incredibly busy month. The weather has been up and down hot, cold and raining. Everything and anything has needed to be paid for (one word…car!). And dare I mention the end of the school year and start of the Summer holidays? Will August be an easier, less stressful and cheaper time? No! But since August has come rushing around the corner, I thought I would look back on July and highlight products I’ve spotted, bought and/or used that’s worth giving a thumbs up.

    Travel Sized Holiday Essentials

    This is probably the main time of the year when people are going away on a holiday, especially with children. Travel sized hair and body products are a staple for travellers. Readily available on the high street and online, but prices, promotions and products vary from store to store. So always look for the best value and the brands of products you want to grab.

    Garnier’s Ambre Solaire Kids Sensitive Protection Lotion

    Sun protection is a must, especially during Summer. I’ve found Garnier’s Ambre Solaire Kids Sensitive Protection Lotion to be a great sun protection for all the family, not just kids! From face to to feet, this has served all of our melanin rich skin well in my household. Rubbed into the skin, it leaves no white, ashy or purple marks if applied properly.

    Home of Honey’s Golden Orchid Wax Melt Discs

    Some beautifully scented and crafted wax melts were gifted to me from UK based wax vendor Home of Honey, including Golden Orchid Wax Melts Disc. Eye catching in appearance, good sizes and lovely fragrance.

    Home Bargains Bargains!

    I never have a problem finding a great buy from Home Bargains when it comes to bath, body or skincare products. But one of the best I’ve seen in a long time is the Decleor mini’s. Only 79p, you get either a singular product or a duo which consists of a shower gel, facial cleanser, facial moisturiser and/or oil. Absolute bargain considering how expensive this brand used to be (I think they’ve ceased trading in the UK). Yes, these aren’t full sizes. But how ideal are these for travelling?

    Lidl’s Cien Moisturising Hand Cream

    If you’re looking for an affordable and effective everyday hand cream, Lidl’s Cien Moisturising Hand Cream is brilliant! Light weight, moisturising and kind to sensitive hands. For under £1.00, this is a great everyday product to use and buy when needed.

    Home of Honey’s Rose Wonderland Wax Melt

    Another wax melt used and enjoyed from Home of Honey was Rose Wonderland (gifted). An interesting take on a floral scent which was unusual, not floral heavy and perfect to melt during the Summer months.

    These are some of the skincare, body care and home fragrance products I found in stores, bought or/and used in the month of July. Any favourites? Now THAT would be telling…so no!
