Aldi’s £3.49 lip balms crowned Beauty Club favourite as Summer Lacura line drops

By Stephanie Bateman

Available in three flavours — Dulce De Leche, Cake Pop, and Vanilla — the £3.49 balms are described as ‘buttery smooth’, ‘nourishing,’ and ‘subtly sweet’.

Beauty Club members have already begun comparing them to the cult-favourite Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, but at a fraction of the price.

Also in the spotlight is Aldi’s NEW Lacura Watermelon Serum (£4.99, 55ml); perfect for achieving a fresh, glass-skin glow, as well as the return of Aldi’s cult-favourite Fragrances (£5.99, 50ML) – which are absolutely amazing, top quality dupes.
