Today I am sharing some new launches from Aldi's Lacura best-selling range which has been inspired by Korean Beauty. K-Beauty is a huge area within the beauty industry that has really taken off and over the past few years, I have tried a lot of products, so I am delighted once again, to see Aldi throwing their hat into the ring with this lot.
The Aldi Lacura K-Beauty inspired range of K-Beauty products features 10 different products, of which 4 are brand new to the line up and impressively, they are all priced between £1.49 up to £4.99, which could see shoppers save over £199 compared to some other brands!
Aldi’s Lacura K-Beauty Skincare full range:
- Banana Souffle Face Cream
- Plum Hyaluronic Acid Serum
- Deep Cleaning Bubble Mask
- H20 Overnight Face Sleeping Mask
- Watermelon Gel Moisturiser
- Pineapple Face Serum
- Avocado Overnight Retinol Sleeping Eye Mask
- Dewy Lip Balm
First out of my box of tricks is the Lacura Deep Cleansing Bubble Mask (£1.49) and some might say it has been inspired by the GlamGlow Bubble Sheet Mask (£8).
New for 2022, this Deep Cleansing Bubble Mask is infused with charcoal which helps to purify and cleanse the skin and it only needs 5 minutes of your time. On the skin, the mask, which fit pretty well, begins to bubble almost instantly. What I love about these masks is they don't exactly make for pretty photos but they are a lot of fun. As it bubbles, I didn't find there was any tingling sensation at all, but when I removed the mask, there was a little excess product that I massaged into my skin.
The next product within the K-Beauty range is the Papaya Enzyme Face Scrub (£4.99).
This scrub, which is inspired by a Glow Recipe product is designed to remove impurities and help improve the appearance and texture of the skin due to its dual exfoliation properties, physical Cellulose and added papaya enzymes. On this skin, I had expected this scrub to be overly abrasive, but surprisingly it isn't, but if you apply a little pressure you can feel it working against the skin.
If you skin is in need of some hydration, then the new Lacura Plum Hyaluronic Acid Serum (£4.99) might be just the product you need.
This serum is formulated with three antioxidant-rich plum extracts and is enriched with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B5. On the skin it is incredibly lightweight and absorbs incredibly quickly on contact with the skin. Texture wise, I really like how this feels, it is a watery-gel substance that is thick enough to not be runny, but not too thick it just lingers on the skin. You might also notice that it is inspired by Glow Recipe and their Plum Plump Hyaluronic Serum (£37)
The next product is one I really like and it is the Banana Souffle Face Cream (£4.99) and again, if your skin needs a little extra TLC, then this cream is the one to try. Again, it has been inspired by Glow Recipe Banana Soufflé Moisture Cream (£36).
Designed to help with hydration, thanks to the inclusion of Squalene, this lightweight cream works to protect your skin’s moisture barrier and when needed, it helps with the healing of dry skin. Other ingredients include turmeric and Centella Asiatica which host antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and moisturising properties. There is, as you might expect a very light scent of banana with this cream which I really like.
The next product is one I have shared previously on my blog. The H2Overnight Face Sleeping Mask (£4.99), which you could say has been inspired by Laneige and their Water Sleeping Mask (£26).
This Sleeping Mask is a lightweight gel mask formulated with Aloe Barbadensis Lead Juice, Rose Centifolia Flower Extract and Sodium Hyaluronate to improve the appearance of tired looking skin overnight.
The final product within my little collection is an eye cream. For me, an eye cream is an essential item and I use mine both morning and evening as part of my routine. From the Aldi Lacura range we have the Avocado Bright eyes Overnight Retinol Sleeping Mask (£4.49). Again, this product is inspired by Glow Recipe and their Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask (£41)
This Eye Sleep Mask is described as being a special something to target dark, tired and puffy eyes, well that is me every single morning because my sleep pattern is confused and a tad disturbed and has been for some time. This product is infused with coffee seed extract, avocado oil, and as the name suggests retinol, these ingredients come together to work to banish dark circles, tighten the skin under the eye, to leave you looking bright eyed and bushy tailed. As I am just finishing an eye cream, this is one I am yet to try, so I will update this post in a few months time with how it has gone.
As you can see, there is a huge difference in price between the offerings from the Aldi Lacura K-Beauty range and other brands. As soon as these products come into stock, they sell out really quickly, so if you see them and want to try them, get them whist you can. In my local store, all 10 products are on sale but in very limited numbers.
