Aldi Lacura Flawless Coverage CC Cream

Another new launch from Aldi and it is their Aldi Lacura Flawless Coverage CC Cream, said to be inspired by It Cosmetics CC Cream.

The It Cosmetics CC cream is one of my absolute must-have products and even at £36.50, I don’t even hesitate to repurchase as soon as a I run out, it’s become almost like a comfort blanket when my skin just needs perking up, blemishes covering and that natural look being the end goal, so what if Aldi can recreate that product at a fraction of a cost? Well let’s see if it does!

Packaged in purple, it’s notable that the packaging is not the same in any way shape or form, nor is the applicator similar, however both tubes have the holographic strip, similar writing on the tube and both have the SPF50 claims. 
Aldi Lacura Flawless Coverage CC Cream
It Cosmetics offer a total of 14 different shades and Aldi Lacura offers 6 - all of which I have seen in store and I have Shade 1 which is fair.  So the downside to Aldi Lacura is that the shade range is limited.

Despite having a similar ingredients base, think hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, niacinamide and peptides, the textures are completely different. Anyone who is familiar with It Cosmetics will recognise and possibly adore that slightly thick texture which glides onto the skin effortlessly (shown here), blending like an absolute dream. From Aldi Lacura, the formula is much lighter though it also applies like a dram and doesn’t an incredible job at covering blemishes, leaving the skin with that Demi-matte appearance.

Longevity, It Cosmetics is much longer lasting, in so much as once I’ve applied it to my skin, I’m happy to not have to top up or re-apply in an evening, though with the Aldi Lacura version, there was patches I would definitely need to top up and re-apply - though personally I don’t find that much of an issue.

Priced at £4.99 it is worth looking out for in your local Aldi store if you are a fan of It Cosmetics or have been wanting to give it a try.
