As you probably know, I live in Sydney, and since Australia is that huge island in the Southern hemisphere with those amazing beaches and stuff, our beauty products are bloody expensive!
I've been watching beauty videos on youtube and reading beauty blogs written by lovely ladies who live in the UK/America for a while now and I've only recently noticed that everything is so much cheaper there.
Here's a little example. Mascara over here costs an average of about $15.00 and I'm not even talking about high end brands, this is just drug-store Maybelline. With nicer ones like L'oreal selling at anywhere from $20-$30. Which is absolutely ridiculous if you ask me. Especially since I've realised that mascara only costs about 5 to 8 pounds in the UK and normally even less in the US!
Which is why I got so excited in Aldi. If you've ever been to Aldi, you most likely have seen that shelf at the end of the aisles with the deodorants, and other bits and pieces. They also have their own range of beauty products called Lacura Beauty. That's nothing very special of course, but what is, is the price. Their mascara is only $5.
So of course I quickly grabbed one to try out. Imagine how much you could save! So the review;
They aren't exactly the very best mascara on the market, but do their job pretty well; considering the price. They smell pretty iffy, but thankfully that fades once it dries. All in all, a pretty good mascara for everyday use.
OMG I've eyed the beauty products in ALDI before. I've never purchased anything though because I figured since its so cheap and its from a bargain store, it might be kinda crappy.
ReplyDeleteThey are actually really good for their price, which translates to average in general, but definitely worth a try! :)
Deletethere's this brand that I can find at priceline called savvy I believe and eyeliner is only 2 dollars there.
