    I use the concealer pen, just checked online and its £3.59 (I'm sure thats gone up!)

    I used to use YSL Touche Eclait, as I could get it for about £17/18 but I started watching the pennies and I just couldn't justify the price anymore. I wouldn't say that Lacura one is as good, but it is an excellent alternative and better than the clinique one I tried a few years ago, and the lower price of the Aldi one outweighs the loss in performance, so I have converted to the Aldi one.

    I have also used the mascara and was very impressed, not tried the foundation or eyeshadow, but will do so.

    Also want to try the Anti Aging Multi-intensive Serum after reading comments about that .

    I dont often use face powder, I think I do it wrong and end up looking cakey

    thanks for this thread I just recently started to buy face creams, used the day one first then the night one which for my skin type is better , even during the day. Is very rich, smells lovely and not greasy. My skin complexion has improved a lot.
    I buy TE online but now I read this thread I'm going to try Aldi's one :)

    The only thing I don't like the pen is that I struggle to get anything out of it and considering that I don't have a lot of time in the morning to get ready, I have stopped bothering with it. I am now back to the Maybelline pen, a light turn of the end and the exact quantity of product comes out.

    Am intrigued by the tinted moisturiser somebody mentioned here - does it come in pinkish shades for very pale skin ? Ta
    Keep calm and carry on

    Hi
    I have terrible trouble with panda eyes and mascara and have only found the clinique wash off with warm water one to be any good for me so have stopped using it at all as I cant justify the expense. Is the Aldi one worth a go for someone like me with rather greasy under eye area?

    Well, on all your recommendations i have been to aldi today and bought the concealer pen and foundation, I think they were both just over £2 each and as I was after some new foundation anyway thought I would try this, I must admit I am very impressed, my skin looks and feels great, so thank you for this!!!

    I tried the day cream but found it too greasy for my skin. Then again most lotions and potions are too greasy for me and I have to use nivea creme as that's the only thing that seems to sink in.

    But I bought the eye roll on that stop the dark circles and all i can say is wow! I've been using it for a week and i don't have panda eyes anymore.I'm impressed.

    Just purchased the compact powder and am pretty impressed. A bargain at £2.39. I've had all the expensive stuff and this is just as good if not better. Will be trying the foundation next.
  • Aldi Serum is as good as No7 perfect and protect at 1/3 of the price
    Keep trying different items when I'm shopping...not been disappointed yet

    I have just been to Aldi and bought the day and night moisturisers and am really impressed with them! Can't believe they were only £1.99 each and they smell and feel really good!
