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!

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!

Lacura Peptide Lip Treatment - Rhode Dupe?

A product that adorns my social media feed is the Rhode's skin peptide lip treatment which has been a viral hit for years, and well as the title might suggest, Aldi has a product that might have been inspired by that product with their Lacura peptide lip treatment.

Priced at just £2.99 you could argue that it has been designed to rival Rhode's popular version, albeit it almost £15 cheaper. With its sleek grey design it does share some similarities with Rhode, both equally stylish and practical, and both feature 10ml of product making it the perfect size to fit in any bag or even a trouser pocket. 

The applicator helpfully features a classic angled tip, making it easy to apply just like you would with a traditional lipstick.

From the ingredients I noticed in Rhode’s formula, Lacura’s peptide treatment includes the same shea butter, vitamin E-rich babassu oil, but rather than the one peptide, the Lacura version features two types of peptides. Both products feature 'palmitoyl tripeptide-1', which helps support and repair the skin, but Lacura adds 'palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7', which works to prevent collagen loss and stop signs of ageing.

Coat your lips with a layer of moisture with this Peptide Lip Treatment. With a combination of peptides, shea butter, capuacu butter and babassu, your lips will look softer and full with a super glossy finish. Whether on top of bare lips or over the top of your favourite lipstick or liner for a much-needed moisture boost, this lip balm is a makeup bag essential.

From Lacura, the peptide Lip Treatment is available in three options - Unscented, Watermelon and Salted Caramel whereas Rhode features one extra offering with Vanilla. 

Whilst I am yet to try the Rhodes Peptide Lip Treatment, I have got the three Aldi Lacura ones and what I love about them is that each one feels nourishing without being heavy, and when paired with a matte lipstick, they add a lovely glossy shine.  Of the three, the Unscented option is perfect for those who just don't enjoy scented lip products, which would usually be my preference, but the Salted Caramel version smells delightful, very much how you expect a salted caramel latte would smell if I am to compare.  Then there is the Watermelon which smells like a sweet freshly cut watermelon and not at all synthetic. 

Given the price of under £3, I can say that all three of these are wonderful to use, a non-sticky or tacky formula with no unpleasant aftertastes or artificial smells, making them a great alternative.

Aldi launches new Almond Coconut Honey Bath Nectar

If you are a fan of the Aldi Lacura Vanilla Honey Golden Bath Nectar, which I am, then you will be as excited as I am to learn that there is to be a new launch within this range.

Aldi’s health & beauty brand, Lacura, is to welcome the NEW Almond Coconut Honey Bath Nectar (£5.99, 300ml) to its dermatologically tested and cruelty-free range ahead of Valentine’s Day.  You might say it has been inspired by another brand, but again there are similarities and differences between the two.

The Aldi Almond Coconut Honey Bath Nectar will be available in stores from January, 25th and this luxurious nectar elixir is specially formulated with a comforting blend of sweet almond oil, honey, hydrolyzed wheat protein and provitamin B5 to help protect the skin’s moisture barrier.  Plus, it will also come complete with a wooden honey dipper.

The Aldi Lacura Almond Coconut Honey Bath Nectar will priced at just £5.99 each, which if you are a fan of Laura Mercier's Almond Coconut Honey Bath (£39), will give you a price saving of 87%.

Hair Care Dupe Gift Sets 2023

Everyone seems to be enamoured with the Olaplex System and for those who have hair that it works with and for, I can see why, for me, it seems almost too heavy feeling. As always, there is a whole host of alternatives out there to be found, from the likes of L'Oreal Paris Elvive Bond Repair System to the two offerings I am sharing today.

Starting with my beloved Aldi and their beauty brand Lacura. It has been well documented that Lacura Bonded Hair care products are similar to Olaplex, albeit, it is pried at a much more competitive price.

For Christmas, Lacura is releasing the Bonded Gift Set (£9.99) and inside, it offers the ultimate hair care experience. 

Inside this gift set, you will find:

• Bonded Pre-Wash Hair Treatment (100ml),
• Bonded Moisture Mask (50ml)
• Bonded Hair Oil (20ml).
• White hair scrunchie

The hydrating Bonded Hair Oil is a brand new launch, it hasn't been released until now and is definitely a product to look out for.

Then the second collection of products is from a brand I have used before and one which has impressed me and that is The Plex System and it is one you can find in both B&M and Savers.

The New PlexSystem range has launched with a five step programme and with it, a whole host of scientific formulations that are designed to harness a ‘Smoothing Infusion’ to restore and protect damaged hair. It is a five-step routine, featuring five full sized products and inside this gift box you will find the following:

• 1. Cleansing Shampoo
• 2. Nourishing Hair Mask
• 3. Hydrating Conditioner
• 4. Restoring Hair Oil
• 5. Styling Hair Serum

This collection will be priced around £9.99, so again it is a great little money saver and a great gift for those who love their hair care products.

Aldi Lacura Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit Dupe

It is well known now that I love a good Aldi Lacura beauty product and in recent months there has been some brilliant releases, from the exciting Sweet Angel Shower Gel, which may or may not be similar to Snow Fairy from Lush, Their BHA Toner which is aid to be similar to Paula's Choice, through to their Charlotte Tilbury inspired lip launches.  Today it is another inspired product and the Lacura Lip Kit.

Said to be inspired by the Kylie Cosmetics Matte Lip Kit, £28. Looking at the packaging, you can see that similarly just like Kylie Cosmetics, the Aldi Lacura version is housed in millennial pink packaging with the lip print and inside it contains two products a matte liquid lipstick and liner duo. 

Priced at just £4.99 each, there is a choice of three different shades, my local Aldi had just the one shade in stock and thankfully, the one I wanted in Nearly Nude, which is said o be inspired by the shade Kylie.  The other options are ‘Just Peachy’ which is similar to ‘Sweater Weather’ and then the shade ‘Velvet Sugar’ which is inspired by he shade Twenty’

As expected, both of these products are really impressive, described as having a long-lasting formula and of course it is Vegan.  

The liner which is more of a pinkier brown shade than it looks, glides onto the lips as thought it is a balm, it is so soft and smooth, easy to smudge if the need arises and it does wipe away if a mistake is made, but you need to do it before it settles.  However, what it does is create a great liner for your lips and it works well with other lipsticks too.

Then the liquid lipstick, I adore it, there ive said it.  It is bright, it is pigmented, it glides smoothly onto the lips without being taut and whilst it does dry down quite quickly, it is a definite liquid lipstick which some might want to add a gloss too, depending on which type of finish you like, But the colour is also slightly more Pink than its inspired offering, so something to have in mind.

As you can see from the swatches above, which are not edited, both the Lip Pencil and the Liquid Lip do give good colour pay off and they work with other products that you might have in your stash.

Each one of these Aldi Lacura lip kits is priced at £4.99 each and in comparison to the Kylie Cosmetic Lip Kits are priced around £28, it is quite the saving!  As with most Aldi Lacura products, if you spot them in the middle aisle, grab them as quickly as you can if you want to give them a try because they never hand around for long!

Aldi Lacura Dry Body Brush

One of the best gadgets you can own is a body brush. They come in all shapes and sizes and It might not come as a surprise that Aldi has launched their very own as part of their Lacura beauty range and it is similar in style to Mio Skincare body brush.

Handy because this is a rounded body brush with a handle that is made from 100% natural undyed cotton, so that means you can easily hold it in the palm of your hand. The brush is also both vegan and cruelty free.  

The brush section is made from with PP fibre bristles which work to naturally exfoliate the skin without being too overly abrasive, there is also a number of Thermoplastic Rubber Massage Nodules which are made soft rubber and these nodules, of which there is 18 in total, work to gently massage the skin to help smooth and firm

So why dry body brush? This body brush both massages and exfoliates the skin's surface at the same time all in an effort to reveal skin that is smoother and fresher looking underneath. The practise of body brushing not only helps to reduce cellulite but it is also a really effective way to remove dead and dry skin cells, leaving the skin feeling smooth and soft whilst at the same time helping to encourage the renewal of surface skin cells through that exfoliation and this helps to reveal a much healthier-looking skin.

To get the best use out of dry brushing, it is advised to do so before showering on dry skin and you start at your feet using short, lifting strokes in the direction of your heart to stimulate circulation and eventually work the brush all over your entire body for maximum effect. As mentioned, the bristles on this brush are not as abrasive as I have found on other brands, but you will find a slight reddening of the skin after using, this is quite normal.

Once you have completed your dry brushing, shower as usual to remove all the dead and dry skin and moisturise, preferably with a thick moisturiser and repeat the process at least once if not twice a week.

This Aldi Lacura Dry Body Brush retails for just £4.99 and is worth looking out for in the middle aisle.

Aldi Lacura 2% BHA Toner – A Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Toner Dupe?

Did you know that Paula's Choice BHA Toner sells one every 7 seconds? Well it is true and if you haven't tried it yet, then it is one product I always tell people to try, especially if they like other similar branded products. Today in stores, Aldi has launched their latest beauty dupe - the Aldi Lacura 2% BHA Toner, which is said to have been ‘inspired’ by the iconic, bestselling Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Toner!

Priced at just £4.99 for 100ml, the Aldi Lacura 2% BHA Toner is packaged in a very similar looking bottle to the Paula’s Choice BHA Toner with the grey bottle and white lid, the only difference from Aldi is that there is a white bottom on their bottle, but if you're a fan of the iconic Paula's Choice, then this one worth looking out for!

“Specially formulated with Salicylic Acid, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Methylpropanediol, the new innovative beauty buy is both fragrance-free and vegan-friendly.“

The Aldi Lacura 2% BHA Toner is £4.99 and contains 100ml but the Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is priced at £34 and contains 118ml, so the price difference could save you a huge 85% or £29 in monetary terms. 

Offering a very gentle and lightweight formula, the BHA Toner promises to effectively remove dead skin for a smoother, clearer, and more luminous complexion and with the inclusion of that much loved BHA ingredient which offers anti-inflammatory properties to help reduce the appearance of breakouts and blackheads, it is a product worth having.

Look out for and Buy here

This new Aldi Lacura 2% BHA Toner is, as you would expect from the brand both fragrance-free and vegan-friendly, and is set to launch in stores today alongside some other much loved dupes, include that Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base which I've reviewed here.

Aldi Lacura Perfect Nude Lip Range - Charlotte Tilbury Dupes?

If you have taken a stroll down the middle aisle of Aldi in recent weeks, you will have noticed an explosion of products within the Lacura range - The ProNight Advanced Range getting a lot of attention as well as the Perfect Nude Lip Range which sold out as quickly as baskets were filled, though thankfully I did manage to grab one of each.

The Perfect Nude Lip Range has been likened to products from the Charlotte Tilbury Pillowtalk collection and whilst there is some similarity within the shades, not so much with the packaging, but as ever, here is a look at each product. Priced at £2.99, the Aldi Lacura Perfect Nude Lip Range features a Lipstick, Lip Liner and Lip Gloss, all of which are described to boast a "stunning universal nude-peach shade".

The Lacura Perfect Nude Lipstick (£2.99, 3.5g) is sold in a pretty pastel pink box which clearly labels the product inside. The lipstick bullet itself is silver in colour, not gold like its Pillow and it is more of a triangular shape than cylindrical, in the middle of the silver tube is the letter L for Lacura. At first glance, it doesn't look or feel like a lipstick that has cost £2.99, it is quite weighty in your hands.

The lipstick bullet itself does look very similar to the original Pillowtalk shade in natural light and it is said to offer a buildable and high colour payoff to give a velvety soft matte look with a hint of highlight. The texture of both Charlotte Tilbury and Aldi Lacura are very different, Tilbury is much smoother than Lacura and the latter slightly more chalky but not too drying. Enriched with Moon Orchard Plant and carefully formulated with specially selected waxes, this Lacura Perfect Nude Lipstick is designed to ensure the colour effortlessly glides to give a flawlessly hydrated finish.

On the lips, I am a huge fan of the colour, it is a shade, like Pillowtalk, that will suit pretty much everybody, but what has really impressed me is the longevity because it lasts all day, doesn't transfer as much as I had expected, infact it is barely noticeable. So impressive for £2.99.

The second product within this trio is the Lacura Perfect Nude Lip Liner (£2.99, 1.2g) and again, there are some similarities to the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat.

Keeping with the theme of silver metallic packaging, this lip liner is sleek in design and again, for the price it definitely doesn't have that budget feel to it. If anyone does get their hands on this product, I would suggest sharpening it first because it is slightly tough and drags a little, but as soon as I had sharpened, it was a breeze to use and I absolutely love the shade, it is also really creamy when applied and could be used on its own as a lip colour.  

Again, it is formulated with a blend of Coconut Oil and Soya Bean Oil which work to offer a seamless and moisturising finish. This lip liner is everything it claims to be - long lasting, non-transferring and it has a smooth and velvety texture.

The final product within this trio is the Lacura Perfect Nude Lip Gloss (£2.99, 2.7ml). This Lip Gloss was a bit of a surprise for me because I haven't stopped wearing it since I bought it.  Described as being a dupe of the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Lustre Lip Lacquer, Pillow Talk, but again there are only a few similarities.

Again, this lip gloss is packaged so beautifully it looks much more than a high street brand, packaged in a clear glass tube with a silver lid, it keeps in design with both the Lip Liner and Lipstick. This Gloss is enriched with Collagen, Coconut Oil, Vitamin A and also includes Mint Oil, so it not only leave your lips feeling smooth, soft and moisturised it also has an aromatic scent creating a refreshing feel. 

It isn't sticky or tacky when applied and as it is sheer, it works wonderfully well with the lip liner and lipstick or on its own.

 

Aldi Lacura is a cruelty-free beauty brand and this launch of its new line-up of luxe makeup must-haves are priced from £2.99.
