When you think of quality cosmetics, the aisles of discount grocer Aldi probably don't come to mind. But now, in a natural extension of its European skincare products line, Lacura Skin, Aldi has launched Lacura Beauty collection. My jaw dropped to the floor upon learning the pricing. All products cost just under $4 a pop! But do they deliver?
Find out when you read more.
I tried four items out of the seven-piece collection, including the foundation ($4), eye shadow ($4), mascara ($4), and powder ($4). The foundation, which easily spreads into the skin, is reminiscent of a tinted moisturizer. My only complaints would be that the product comes in just four tones, and the smell is rather perfumey. I loved the thin, smooth puff included in the powder compact, and the dual-toned eye shadow offered up a shimmery finish with an impressive color payoff. (I'd ditch the applicator wand, however, and go with your own long-handled brush.)
As for the mascara, it too, has a fragranced quality, with a scent I can only describe as similar to roses. While the brush at the end of the wand might not be perfect, as it's a little large, I'm clump- and flake-free, and I have to admit that I'm pleased with the soft, feathery results of this low-cost product. Look for the Lacura Beauty items rolling out at Aldi now; the line also includes lipstick ($4), nail polish ($2), and blush ($4). Do you think you might make a purchase?

Yep. I totally plan on trying this. They started out with a skincare line, and it got rave reviews. Now I'm intrigued...but I HATE fragranced makeup. Hmph. I'm still trying it though.
2i would try, but the aldi close to me has no cosmetics. it looks like some bomb shelter with food being sold...
3I've never even heard of Aldi...there aren't any near me here in Massachusetts.
4They have one near me in a town near by but the store scares me to be honest. Looks uninviting... The makeup - no thanks. Nevermind the food.
5I really like the Lacura face line. I bought a bunch of it about two months ago at my local Aldi's and it works well on my face. It's not the best stuff I've used, but for the price, it works.
I, too, am disappointed to hear the makeup is perfumed. That's one of the biggest reasons I've had to stop using a makeup, thanks to some allergies. However, I recently lost my job, so this line may be the only thing I can afford, so I'll probably check it out.
6LOL @ Allytta- its a depressing place to go to
7f*ck NO. I dont even buy food from there why would i buy makeup! lol
8Maybe. I don't really liked perfumed stuff, though.
9hi, i just bought the makeup and wore it for the first time yesterday. Im 16 so i have very very mild acne, you know the usual, and I have oily skikn aswell. The foundation does feel like a tinted mouisturizer, controled my oil better than anyother makeup Ive tried, and did not come off on my clothing. Plus, i smelled to perfumey scent, maybe it was just me idk. But the powder is very soft,smooth, and covers well. I do not recomend the puff though, i use a sponge. The eyeshadow in my opinion is better than the clinique one im using, and the mascara was easy, and clump free, plus it had a good rich black color. So ya as far as im concerned, 16 dollars is better for 4 items then 45, which is what i normally pay for the cheap stuff at the pharmacy. So ya i love it and would recomend it to my friends and family.Hope this helps. Peace and Love, melissa
10this is melissa, i messed up on my last comment, i ment to say it DID NOT smell perfumy. sorry
11the foundation DID NOT smell perfumy, sorry.
12What?! Does this new makeup line sell at ALL Aldi stores across the country or just the ones in bigger cities? If in the smaller towns too, I am definitely looking into this one.
13I never knew Aldis existed until a few months ago. Apparently they have a reputation for being trashy looking? Well looks are deceiving, and I've been saving a lot of money on their stuff which is comparable to other nationwide grocery chains. You save money because the store looks crappy and scary. Less overhead=savings passed on to the customer. I've been eyeing the makeup aisle and I think I will try that mascara and the eyeshadow. $4 bucks? Heck, why not?
14I use Aldi cream and is the best thing ever! When I wash my face, and my skin is softer like a baby. Hellooo I am 48 yrs old. I had to purchase five (5) to my best friends in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and here in GA. Is amazing! But when I went this last Saturday, I don't see it anymore. Would you please help me??
