Hello Everyone,

I am so excited for this post today, I hope you’re all doing great and had a lovely weekend. Speaking of the weekend, I went for my usual grocery shopping in aldi and after lots of rummaging through all those baskets and trying to find where the special buys are, I ended up finding some skincare products which to be honest, really looked good. I am sure you have all heard about the Lacura brand in aldi and how some end up selling out, that’s why I am loving the aldi lacura skincare products and why you should too. Also, I think I found a Pixi glow tonic dupe that I am very excited about and it’s way cheaper than the original. Make sure to also check out my top beauty products and tell me what you think.

So,what products did I get?

I was hoping to buy more of their skincare, but seeing that I found them by luck, I decided to just stick to the four products for now and give them a try before getting ahead of myself which I tend to do. My first lucky find was,

1. The Lacura Charcoal mud to foam cleanser,

This right here, I am totally loving, I have used it three times already and as much as I have used a different cleanser in my skincare routine before, this was not as harsh as I would have thought even though they say it shouldn’t be used on sensitive skin. It’s also mattifying which would be helpful if it was summer but usually, during Autumn and the winter months, my skin tends to be dryer, so I suggest to moisturise liberally after this. If you need any mattifying and have extremely oily skin, then this is for you, pop into your closest aldi and give it a try.

2. Lacura pink clay mask,

Next comes their pink clay mask, which I have used twice already. This is a brightening mask which I think I had also seen with Loreal having something similar only they name theirs red algae. It claimed to brighten my skin and it really did or it was just wishful thinking, anyway I really noticed a difference and loved the results it gave me. When it comes to the price, the Loreal and this one are pretty close, so you just choose what tickles your fancy. Also more on masks in my post here.

3. Lacura Glycolic glow tonic,

So, this is what I was talking about when I said about a pixi dupe. I have always had my eye on their tonic but never got to purchase it, and  now that I might have found a similar one for half the price, I am very proud and happy about it. Since I haven’t used the original one before, do tell me if any of you have and if it might just be the same, that is if you do get to try the aldi one also. The ingredients and packaging are both identical and I think they both do the same thing “hopefully”.

4. Daily cleansing Pads

These also have glycolic acid and helps in exfoliation, just remember to have sunscreen on deck if you will be using anything with glycolic and even if you don’t use it, sunscreen is definitely necessary to protect your skin and we all know that. I have used these cleansing pads before and this was my second time buying them so if you are on the hunt for some exfoliating cleansing pads, give aldi’s Lacura one a try.

That’s it,

Those are some of the skincare products from the Lacura brand that I got from aldi, I know I have been using them for a short while but I am going to continue long term and see how my skin adjusts to it and if it’s going to be clear as I want it to be. If you have any questions about the above products, do ask in the comments below. Thank you for all the support and wishing you all a lovely week. Before I leave, tell me have you ever tried Lacura skincare products? And if you have, did you like them?

Hello everybody

I hope that you all had a great weekend and are ready for this week. Today was one of those days where I woke up all confused and a bit down which is not a good feeling at all. After minutes of trying out positive thinking which didn’t work by the way, I decided to destruct myself and just go ahead and clean my makeup brushes which I had been ignoring for some time now. Don’t you just love having clean makeup brushes until you need to clean them all over again then wonder why you torture yourself, it’s all for the love of makeup people. I have tried many ways of cleaning my brushes until I found an easy way. This is how to easily clean your makeup brushes.

You will need two things, vinegar and washing up liquid(I use dish soap)

• Now that you have that, put some vinegar, water and your washing up liquid in a glass or jar and mix them up.

• Then take your brushes and dip them in move them around to get the cleaning started.

• After five minutes, your water will look quite disgusting depending on how dirty your brushes were, you can go ahead and rinse them under running water,by brushing them on your palm.

• I had to repeat mine because my brushes were extra dirty, I left them in the mixture for another ten minutes, then rinsed them under running water and then dried them on a towel.

• After all the water is dried off, leave them to dry on a towel placing them upright, I don’t have any gadgets for that I just make them lean on something.

• Now all you have to do is wait for them to completely dry and slather on your foundation once again.

I hope this will be able to help anyone who has to take an afternoon off just to clean out all the brushes they have but just remember that the dirtier the brushes, the longer they will have to stay in the mixture.
