Can a £4 Viral Shampoo Really Deliver?

Can a £4 Viral Shampoo Really Deliver? I Put the M&S Nourishing Range to the Test

When I hear the word “viral,” I’m instantly curious. Like many beauty lovers, I’ve been lured in by the buzz around budget-friendly finds that promise high-end results. So when I spotted the M&S Beauty Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner, both priced at just £4, I had to give them a try.

These products have been making quiet waves online for their ingredient list and performance — and for good reason. The Nourishing range is infused with micro algae extract, which helps rebalance the scalp, and a blend of bergamot water and coconut oil to deliver much-needed moisture. But what really caught my eye? They're silicone- and sulphate-free — a rare find at this price point, and a big plus for anyone with fine hair or an oily scalp like mine.

Sustainable, Sensible & Scented Just Right

On the sustainability front, the shampoo and conditioner are vegan and packaged in fully recyclable bottles. The scent? Think refreshing sea salt meets green bergamot — clean, subtle, and ideal for a morning mood boost. My only quibble was the bottle design: no pump means it’s a bit tricky to handle mid-shower, especially with wet hands.

Performance That Surprised Me

Application-wise, the shampoo felt incredibly lightweight and easy to lather. Two washes later, my scalp felt clean but not stripped — a rare balance for a budget shampoo. The conditioner was where the magic really happened. Unlike many affordable conditioners that leave a film or fake shine, this one delivered real softness without buildup.

I applied it from roots to ends, let it sit for about five minutes, and rinsed. While the shine was a touch subtler than with some pricier products, there was no dryness or heaviness — just healthy, bouncy hair that felt freshly cut.

Final Thoughts

The beachy scent lingered for a solid two days (yes, I got compliments!), and my hair held up beautifully for three days before the roots got greasy again — standard for me. For £4 each, the M&S Nourishing range seriously overdelivers, the only thing missing is a pump for each bottle.

If you’re looking for an affordable, clean, and effective shampoo and conditioner duo that ticks the boxes for sensitive scalps, sustainable ingredients, and real results, this might be your next favourite.

How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe for Every Season

A capsule wardrobe is a great way to simplify your wardrobe with the essential items that never go out of fashion.

Image credit

If you often find that you don’t know what to wear and have too many clothes, a capsule wardrobe can make a big difference. Here is how to build one that will work for every season.

Start with Neutral Basics

First, you want to start with core items in neutral shades, such as black, white, navy, and beige. This should include items like blouses, vests, shirts, t-shirts, trousers, and jeans. You also want to make sure that you have comfortable underwear and well-fitting bras in your preferred style. With these neutral basics, you can easily mix and match and look sharp with any combination.

Incorporate Seasonal Layers

You should then focus on incorporating seasonal layers that will help you dress practically throughout the year. Knitwear, trench coats, and heavier outerwear will give you flexibility from spring to winter, allowing you to always have an item that will help you stay comfortable while looking your best, no matter what the weather is like.

Add Pops of Colour & Personal Style

You can then add pops of colour and showcase your style with a few statement pieces. These are the kind of items that will turn heads and help you feel your best, whether this is a jumper in a bold hue, a print shirt, or a stylish leather jacket. Statement pieces are a great way to reflect your personal sense of style and add visual interest to your outfits.

Select Versatile Footwear & Accessories

Of course, footwear and accessories are key considerations that can take your outfits to the next level. It is a good idea to invest in high-quality footwear that will be versatile and work well across different seasons, such as loafers, boots, and flats. Items like this can be worn throughout the year and also in different situations, whether this is in the office, for coffee catchups, or nights out on the town.

In terms of accessories, you should opt for minimalist looks that will enhance your outfits without overwhelming them and work with different types of ensembles. A few key items that can elevate your wardrobe and add style include classic sunglasses, a structured handbag, and silver jewellery.

Hopefully, this post will help you create a capsule wardrobe that will work with every season. By focusing on quality over quantity and investing in a few key items, you should find it much easier to get dressed each day and always have a stylish outfit no matter the weather.

The £3.99 Aldi Concealer Everyone’s Talking About

Aldi’s £3.99 Concealer Is Being Called a Dupe for Huda Beauty’s £26 Bestseller—and I’m Intrigued.

If you love a bargain and live for a full-coverage moment, stop what you’re doing because Aldi has just dropped another seriously tempting beauty dupe. Following on from the Lacura version of Tatcha, this time, it's taking on none other than Huda Beauty with their Lacura Radiant Concealer which is priced at just £3.99.

This budget beauty gem is getting attention for its similarity to the Huda Beauty #FauxFilter Luminous Matte Concealer, which usually retails at £26. Whilst the Lacura version is over £20 cheaper at just £3.99, it’s always worth picking one up to try, you never know, it could just become your new favourite.

So what’s the fuss about?

The Lacura Radiant Concealer boasts a radiant, skin-smoothing formula designed to offer full coverage without looking cakey or heavy—basically, everything we love about the original Huda version. It’s packaged in a chic, frosted tube with a sleek doe-foot applicator that’s perfect for precise application under the eyes, around the nose, and over blemishes.

Texture-wise, it's said to be lightweight yet pigmented, blending like a dream while staying put throughout the day (no creasing, no cracking—yes, please). Early shoppers are already praising it as a "high street hero," saying it delivers the same flawless matte-but-not-flat finish Huda fans swear by.

Available in four shades to begin with, the Lacura version isn't quite as shade-inclusive as Huda's expansive range, but for a Specialbuy release, it’s definitely a strong start. I’m hoping Aldi clocks the hype and gives us more tones in future drops because the beauty community is ready.

As always with Aldi’s beauty Specialbuys, once it's gone, it’s gone—so if you want to get your hands on this £3.99 glow-up essential, you’ll need to act fast.

Would you swap your Huda concealer for Aldi’s £3.99 version? Let me know in the comments—I love hearing what budget buys are working for you!

A Beginner’s Guide to Caring for Hand Knitted Clothing

Hand knitted garments are unique. They are also precious. Each piece of clothing takes time, love and care to make. However, they need care. Improper care can lead to loss of shape and increases the chance of damage. In this guide, you will read about how to care for your hand knitted garments.

Why Proper Care is Important

Hand knitted clothing is not like normal clothing. The yarn is delicate. The fabric is soft. With one wrong wash or dry you could ruin the whole item. And that is why care is necessary. With just a few simple steps your knitted item will last you years. Whether it is a sweater, scarf or socks, each piece should be handled with care.

Image credit

You can also find special handmade items from the Shakti Shop where many hand knitted clothes are made with love and care.

Washing Your Hand Knitted Clothing

Check the label promptly. Some yarn is washable and some is not. If the yarn does not have a label, it is best to hand wash the item.

Use cool water and a very small amount of mild soap or baby shampoo. Do not use harsh detergent. Lightly move the item in the water. Do not twist or scrub. Allow the item to soak for 10 - 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cool water until the soap is gone, squeezing out the excess water as you go.

Drying the Right Way

Do not squeeze out the water. Instead, lay the item flat on a clean towel. Roll the towel with the item inside to absorb extra moisture. Lay the clothing flat on a dry towel and gently reposition it with your hands. Let it air dry.

Do not hang the clothing or it can stretch and lose its shape. Also, do not dry in direct sunlight as this can fade and damage yarn.

Storing Your Clothes

When you do not use your hand knitted garments, fold them. Store them in a cool and dry location. Avoid plastic bags, as these trap moisture and create the perfect environment for mold. Use cotton bags or pillowcases to store the items so that the yarn can breathe.

Also remember to protect your garments from beetles and moths which love wool. You may use cedar blocks or lavender sachets in your closet.

Fixing Minor Issues

Sometimes, a thread can pull or a small hole may appear. Do not worry. Use a yarn needle to pull the thread back in place. If there is a hole, use matching yarn and a needle to close it. If you are not sure, ask someone who knits for help.

Conclusion

Caring for hand knitted clothing may seem tricky at first. But with these simple steps, it becomes easy. Always remember to be gentle. Use mild soap. Avoid heat. And store your items the right way. When you care properly, your hand knitted clothes will stay soft, beautiful and last a long time. They are not just clothes. They are handmade pieces of love.

Is Aldi’s New Skincare Range a Tatcha Dupe? I Tried It to Find Out

Aldi’s New Japanese-Inspired Skincare Range: Tatcha Dupes for Just £4.99?

In the ever-growing world of skincare, budget-friendly dupes are always a hot topic — and Aldi has entered the chat once again. This time, they’ve launched a new Japanese-inspired skincare line under their Lacura brand, and beauty lovers are already comparing it to the luxury favourite, Tatcha.

I tried two of the standout products from the range: the Lacura Matcha Gel Wash and the Lacura Rice Cleanser, both retailing at an affordable £4.99. Here's how they performed.

Lacura Matcha Gel Wash – £4.99

From the moment I squeezed this out of the tube, I was impressed by the jelly-like texture — a trend that’s very much in right now. It felt cooling and refreshing on my fingertips, which instantly gave it that spa-like feel.

This cleanser is powered by willow bark (a natural source of salicylic acid that’s excellent for combating acne), matcha tea, and mugwort extract, a trio known for their soothing and revitalising properties. According to Aldi, it’s designed to revive tired, dull skin for a more radiant complexion — and it definitely gave my skin a much-needed refresh.

Once water was added, the cleanser foamed quickly and effortlessly broke down makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime. What I loved most was the transformation from foam to a light, milky lather. It rinsed off easily and left my skin feeling clean but not dry — a rare feat for a foaming wash.

My verdict: A fantastic daily cleanser for normal to oily skin, especially if you're after a gentle but effective wash that doesn’t strip your skin.

Lacura Rice Cleanser – £4.99

Next up was the Rice Cleanser, which is inspired by traditional Japanese skincare rituals using rice water and rice-based ingredients.

The texture surprised me — it’s much thicker than expected, more like a paste than a cream. It’s infused with rice powder, rice starch, and gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid that gently exfoliates the skin. Though slightly gritty in texture, it didn’t feel scratchy or harsh at all.

However, if you're hoping for a proper exfoliation experience, this might not quite deliver. The granules are fine and sparse, making it more of a gentle polish than a true exfoliator. That said, it's ideal for sensitive skin or those who prefer a very mild cleanse.

The formula also includes hyaluronic acid and rice ferment filtrate, ingredients known for their hydrating and skin-softening properties. While I didn’t notice a huge hydration boost immediately after washing, my skin didn’t feel tight — which is always a plus.

My verdict: A great second cleanse or morning wash. Don’t expect intense exfoliation, but it’s gentle, non-stripping, and good for sensitive skin types.

Final Thoughts

It’s no surprise that these Lacura products are already creating a buzz. They’re visually and conceptually reminiscent of Tatcha’s beloved range, but at a fraction of the price. While they may not completely replicate the luxury experience of the originals, they hold their own as effective, affordable skincare staples.

If you're after a glow-boosting, budget-friendly cleanse — or just want to dip your toe into Japanese-inspired skincare without the hefty price tag — these are definitely worth a try.

Available now at Aldi, but be quick — as with most Lacura launches, they won’t be around forever!
