Aldi makeup

I used Aldi's face powder as its just as good as the Clinique one I used to buy and one tenth of the price.

Has anyone tried their other makeup? Specifically I'm interested in how good the concealers are?

  • Hi

    I think the Aldi makeup is very good, I have the eyeliner, and it stays on all day. The concealer pen is very good to. I've got lipstick which isn't bad either. I'll have a look at the facepowder that you mentioned.

    I really like their Serum and moisturisers to

    I have both the concealer and the powder compact, and yes they are really good (and the packaging is quite fancy looking). One of my work colleagues tried the eyeshadow, she was very impressed with it. The face serums are really good too.

    i have used some and was impressed with the eyeshadow - stayed on a lot longer than more expensive brands, the face powder was pretty good but havent used a lot of it
    concealer pen is just as good as the clinique one
    for the price its worth checkling them out and if you dont like them you havent wasted a lot of cash

    Aldi lacura anti-aging serum FANTASTIC
    Aldi lacura anti-aging day cream AMAZING
    Lacura foundation BETTER THAN MY PERSCRIPTIVES

    Lacura poweder - BETTER THAN CLINIQUE
    Lacura Eye pencil - EXCELLNT
    Lacura face wipes - EXCELLENT REMOVES FULL FACE INC MASCARA (DOESNT STING EYES)

    I bought the Lacura Concealer pen as I wanted TE but didnt know whether it would work on my dark circles and didnt want to waste £20.

    I have no large dept stores near me where I can try it, also I don't know what shade to get as I have olive coloured skin. I find it ok/a bit medicre, but certainly not great as covering up my dark circles.

    Is there anyone out there who has tried both and can confirm that Aldis concealer is just as good as TE?

    i dont think anything will beat TE for dark circles, I have a similar colouring as you and am only now starting to get dark circles.

    Dark circles respond well to TE but the Aldi concealer will work for any other imperfections IMHO
