ALDI Lacura Caviar Illumination Gift Set

meer53

Available in stores from today, £12.99

Includes Caviar Illumination Day Cream, Night Cream and 2 intensive serum treatments too. They had them by the checkouts today to stop people bulk buying them.

I normally use their Soy Moisturiser but have treated myself to one of these sets !

I've got the moisturisers and the face mask and can't say I'm that impressed. They're fine for the price but I wouldn't class them as premium products.

Aldi are never going to sell premium products but i think £12.99 for 2 full size moisturisers is reasonable. I don't understand these folks that pay silly prices for face cream !

Although I do usually buy mid-high end facial creams for daytime use, I also usually wait until Lidl does their face creams for 1/2 price, ie 99p. I find slathering them on with a heavy hand at night gives me that "intense" effect.

My wife bought these when they came out, she got the peel as well. She has found when you apply a foundation primer the moisturiser goes all bitty and horrible on your skin, it also happens if she rubs her face at all. They have also caused her to have some milia so for her they have gone in the bin apart from the pot of facial peel.

She did like the little oil bottles, but they made her face very sticky. So she has gone back to her usual skin care and she carefully removed her milia last week.

Gosh if I had discussed all that with my husband he wouldn't have remembered a word of the conversation let alone managing to repeat it! Well done that hubbie!

Personally I think the creams are fine. I have used La Prairie, La Mer and others over the years but there isn't a cream that has made me go wow. I bought some more of the Lacura today because its nice to slather on and not have to ration it because of the price.

GwylimT I'm impressed as if I told my boyfriend that he would probably not be listening and certainly not remember a word I had said :rotfl:
I'd love to try the peel, i've tried some of the facial oils but I found them abit sticky too, not sure if they still do it but they've sold in the past an illuminating face cream in a pump tube for £2/3 which was quite nice
