Just that, really. I already use one of the day and one of the night creams. But that's been it for a year now. What else is new? What did you discover recently in the Aldi or Lidl beauty sections that you'd recommend? Thanks!

I bought the naked palette knock off the other week. I already have a few genuine naked palettes so thought I'd try it.
It is utterly shit.
The pigmentation is a world away from genuine urban decay. I used it once and chucked it in a drawer.

I haven’t been able to buy the night cream in a shiny blue box for a few weeks so I’m using what I have sparingly. Even the day cream in the shiny silver box has vanished from the shelves.

Aldi had a beauty box today which had some products mentioned upthread. Looked interesting but I resisted

Do they do Christmas gift sets?

Oh thanks

The facial cleansing balm is exactly the same as that famous one that costs £60, I bought six and haven’t seen it since in Aldi.

Andrewthecharminbumwiper · 12/10/2021 22:04

Has anyone tried the pink clay and gold mask? Any good?

What do posters think of the Lidl Favorina brand. I bought a small panettone today.

This is a thread for beauty finds.

Maybe that panettone is a thing of beauty Grin

I did spray one of the perfume testers on myself while i was in Lidl yesterday. Suddenly Chalou. It smelled quite nice and reminded me of another perfume but cant think what.

InTheNameOfAllThatIsHonest · 14/10/2021 15:47

@MercyBooth how long did the smell last? Because often that's one of the main drawbacks of cheap fragrances - they don't last very long.

I think it's out of stock now but Aldi's CBD serum is very nice.

I got a Pomegranate perfume at Aldi which is very nice too.

Lots of things you mention here either aren't in my Aldi/Lidl though.

Gonnagetgoing · 14/10/2021 16:16

@LookdeepintotheParka

Yy to the hair mask - amazing stuff plus it was in their sale so about 3 quid!

I managed to get the Pomegranate Noir perfume dupe a few weeks ago. It's really impressive for the price! Would love some of their other Jo Malone dupes but all sold out in my local store and online.

ah that's the one Pomegranate Noir. It is good.
RadioSixMusicLover · 14/10/2021 17:06

I had to wash the jo malone dupes off, they were awful, I don’t like the originals either so I suppose that’s why. I used to love lime basil & mandarin but now the smell makes me feel sick. As for pomegranate noir, I think it’s like a room spray.

MercyBooth · 14/10/2021 18:11

@InTheNameOfAllThatIsHonest I could still smell it late last night, i tried the tester about 4.30 pm ish.

It actually lasted longer on me than some of the Superdrug Artiscent Atelier ones have.

InTheNameOfAllThatIsHonest · 14/10/2021 18:12

That's impressive.

Of the Artiscent Atelier ones i have tried.

Spring Fleur Hated it Smelled like a mowed lawn.
Patchouli Passion. Very nice lasted a bit longer on my skin.
Lily Amour Nice but didnt last as long on me as Patchouli Passion did.
I used up all of the Lily Amour and the Patchouli Passion but the Spring Fleur got thrown out.
My big bug bear with these is the white bottles. I prefer a see through glass bottle so you can tell how much you have left.

MercyBooth · 14/10/2021 18:31

New Look do one called Dusk which i highly recommend. Ive bought this one several times. Smells gorgeous and lasts on my skin into the next day.

LookdeepintotheParka · 14/10/2021 18:42

I managed to get another of the Jo Malone dupes today and the Lacura Beauty Box Grin

It was the last one - slightly squished box but really pleased as sold out online and is great value! DD has already stolen the Too Legit mascara!!
