Aldi Lacura Spa Rice Milk & Cherry Blossom Gift Set

With Mother’s Day on the horizon, the Aldi Lacura range have a whole host of gifts within their beauty section that are not to be missed. One of those is the Aldi Lacura Spa Rice Milk & Cherry Blossom Gift Set.

It is absolutely no secret that I am a pretty big fan of the Aldi middle aisle but even more so of their beauty range.

Inspired by Rituals with their Renewing Treat Gift Set, Aldi has dedicated this gift set for that at home “spa experience” or for a little pampering time and at just £8.99 it is an absolute bargain to get your hands on.

Packaged inside an impressive box which is accompanied with a bright pink ribbon, so it does look nicely presented to hand straight over to that special person in your life, or even for yourself as a treat.

As you can see, the gift set features four products which includes:

• Foaming Shower Gel
• Nourishing Hand Lotion
• Relaxing Body Oil
• Softening Rice Body Scrub

I have been using all four of these products since they arrived (sorry Mam, it isn't coming your way) and I absolutely love the scent.   

The Foaming Shower Gel does an incredible job at foaming, similar to other products and brands who create these types of products, you only need one press of the dispenser to get more than enough to use.  The scent is immediately obvious as soon as the foam leaves the bottle and it isn't too sweet or sickly, it is really fresh scented. 

Following on from the foam, the softening Rice Body Scrub, is just delightful, it isn't overly abrasive but it is most definitely noticeable on the skin and it is one I tend to use on my shins where I have scaly skin from months of wearing chunky knit tights or leggings.

The Relaxing Body Oil was a bit of a surprise because I wasn't expecting the texture to be as it is.  In its spray bottle, which I think is an amazing idea, the oil, which is non-greasy, dries onto and into the skin quite quickly and it leaves behind the most wonderful cherry blossom scent too! 

Then finally with the Nourishing Hand Cream, it is again a lovely rich texture which I really liked. Once on the skin, it massages in really quickly and is again, non-greasy or sticky when applied. Wonderfully scented of those cherry blossoms.

For £8.99 this is a wonderful selection of products and I love how they come packaged ready for gifting. For me, the star of the show is The Relaxing Body Oil because it comes with a really good pump dispenser, smells incredible and applies like a dream.

On sale from 20th March, look out for it in your local Aldi Store.

Maison Margiela Replica - Springtime in a Park

Maison Margiela fragrances have been on my watch list for some time and with Spring having pretty arrived, I took the plunge and purchased Maison Margiela Replica - Springtime in a Park from the Replica Collection.

I have tried a few samples of fragrances from Maison Margiela over the past few years and I absolutely love Lazy Sunday Morning and Bubble Bath, but it was the description of Springtime in the Park which caught my attention.Springtime in a park captures the gentle light and fresh floral atmosphere of a nice and romantic Spring afternoon at the park. Blossoms appear everywhere and nature is calling us.

The bottles for the Maison Margiela Replica fragrances are very unique with their couture design, look quite stylish in a hand-crafted flaçon with its eye-catching label to give the bottle that more personal look, as though someone has just created it for you.  

The fragrance notes for Springtime in the Park are delightful whether you are a fan of floral, fruits or a mixture of two notes within your scents, this one has an abundance of everything. 

Opening with the top notes of pear, bergamot and blackcurrant give that sweet and fruitiness to catch your attention before the floral middle notes of lily of the valley, jasmine and rose damascena come together to help recreate what is referred to as being the floral atmosphere of spring, that walk through the park when everything has started to blossom, then the base notes of musk, vanilla and ambrox which add depth to the scent without being overly powerful are warming and comforting. 

If you wanted to compare this fragrance to another that is incredibly well known, Givenchy Very Irrésistible springs to mind when Springtime in a Park starts to dry down on the skin.  Longevity, this one lasts really well for me and I can get a good 4-5 hours wear time before the need to re-apply.

If you’re looking for a fragrance which is fresh, light, floral and sweet with a hint of springtime then this is one that will captivate you as much as it has me. 

Priced at £49 for 30ml and £99 for 100ml it is an investment for sure and if you’re wanting to test and try before making a purchase, there is a Maison Margiela Memory Box which is priced at £33 and it features 10 fragrances from the collection, including Springtime in the Park and each fragrance is 2ml which is more than enough to get an insight as to which one you really like.
