Lacura Soft Rail - Model 550312 by Sammons Preston

Product Information

Lacura Moisturising Hand Cream with Oatmeal & Glycerin is a brilliant way to keep your hands in great condition at a fraction of the cost of a similar AVEENO product. However, as someone who used to use the Glow Tonic religiously, I can definitely compare the quality of the products. One of the things I love about the Pixi Tonic is that it always removes every last drop of makeup. I don’t think it was intended this way but it is an added bonus that I never found in any other product. Don’t get me wrong, I always take my makeup off beforehand. Yet no matter how clean I thought my face was, the Pixi product managed to find and remove some last bits which always amazed me. I didn’t think that the Lacura Healthy Glow Tonic would do this but to my pleasant surprise, it does exactly the same. Now, I know what you are all thinking, didn't I just review a facial cleanser. That I did, but I am a big believer in the 'double cleanse' routine, especially in the evenings when I need to take off all my make-up, which is where this face wash came in handy. Aldi said: “Great for all skin types this amazing Lacura Original Hot Cloth Cleanser is sure to give you naturally healthy looking skin. Add this dermatologically tested cleanser into your beauty regime and you'll be amazed at how great your skin starts to feel and look.” One shopper who thought this low of a price point would mean the toner wasn’t any good was pleasantly surprised. They went on to say: “I was sceptical about this toning lotion but thought I would give it a try, and what an amazing toner!

The toner helps to remove impurities and brighten skin tone with a glycolic acid enriched formula that softens and smooths skin. The gentle formulation is suitable for all skin types. This toner cleanses and nourishes the skin by deep cleaning the pores and removing all traces of dirt and grime. If there's one fact of life that will always remain certain, it is that Aldi is one of the best places to be when you want to nab yourself some sweet bargains.Another fan who was used to more expensive toners said they “normally use big named brand toner which is three times the price of this toner, this toner is fantastic”. So, imagine my surprise when this cream literally melted into my pores and left me feeling velvety smooth for the entire day. Despite being recommended for the older age groups, I think anyone looking for hydrated and smooth skin should try this cream out. Unlike a few toners that contain an AHA, this toner doesn't leave any redness on my skin and didn't cause any sensitivity, which I was absolutely grateful for. Aldi is becoming known for their dupes of market faves; From food and drink products like Topaz Blue Gin and suspiciously familiar chocolate bars, to Jo Malone candles and now a whole host of beauty products. I’ve already had my eye on their copies of Nars blush, La Prairie Concealer and Foundation and Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (the dupe name will never be as good as that though, let’s be honest).

And, of course, to end any skincare regime, you need a truly luxurious moisturiser to sink into and repair your skin while you get some good hours of shut eye. Meanwhile shoppers have been impressed, saying the glowy product has seen them receive ‘so many compliments’.Here, she'll share the freshly released heroes that she loves: ready to let you know where to spend your skin and hair care cash. The lightly fresh scent is near identical to Pixi’s, although, if pushed, we’d say Lacura’s is probably slightly fainter. As Aldi dupes go, this offering has to be one of the closest in styles to its cult-classic inspiration. The cruelty free 'brightening toner'includes willow bark and turmeric extracts that are said to cleanse and nourish your skin. It works to remove the 'grime and dirt' and is suitable for sensitive skin.

Do you buy dupes? Has this blog inspired you to try something less expensive? Shall I buy budget beauty products and reallocate the budget for something that will last a lifetime such as a Dior bag? I’d love to know your thoughts and also any of your own beauty dupe recommendations.

After opening the bottle, we smelt a fresh, delicate scent coming from ingredients such as ginseng root extract. What we like most though, is how easily the alcohol-free tonic fits into our skincare routine. Suitable for use in the morning and at night, we unscrewed the lid and swept the liquid across our skin with a reusable make-up remover pad after cleansing. It feels instantly refreshing on skin, and while our face tingled a little afterwards, we didn’t see irritation. On the days that I just needed a generic face wash, or for those 'double cleanse' days, I used this 99p face wash which is said to be good for anyone who suffers from dry skin.

Pixi Glow Tonic

Following the news that Smashbox cosmetics will no longer be available in the UK from September, fans have been scrambling to find an alternative that performs just as well. Enter Aldi. Aldi’s ever-growing Lacura range continues to draw inspiration from the likes of big name brands like Liz Earle, Bobbi Brown and Benefit, making similar products that perform ‘just as well’ for a fraction of the cost. These Aldi beauty dupes were gifted to me via Shopping Links for the purposes of review. Best Aldi Beauty Dupes One reviewer who compared the two said “I always use this product. There is a famous make, Pixi, which I used one on one side and Lacura on the other. Much like the day cream, the night cream really does melt into the skin, the scent isn't too overpowering, and it never leaves a greasy sheen on the face.

Which is exactly why I decided to test out the Healthy Glow Glycolic Toner which features a light 5% of glycolic acid, meaning it could be used twice daily.Every Aldi dupe featured on this list has seriously wowed us. The supermarket’s own brand products are affordable and effective, making them no-brainer investments. Our very favourite dupes include the Aldi said: “Add to your makeup collection with this Lacura Highlighter. Achieve your chosen look with this delicate and sweet highlighter. Define, pop and contour your way to looking your absolute best.” Toner is the step after cleansing and before moisturising, and something I never did before I found Pixi Glow Tonic. It contains glycolic acid, ginseng, witch hazel and Aloe Vera. This combo of power ingredientswas created to brighten, tones and condition your skin, as well as gradually diminishing signs of sun damage, fine lines, scarring and other imperfections. Basically miracle working! Aldi Dupes
