PAY less for LUXE

A SELECTION OF BEAUTY PRODUCTS THAT ARE POSHER THAN THEIR PRICE TAG

SUPERMARKET STEALS

ALDI’S beauty dupes never fail to create a stir in the middle aisle, and its limitededition lookalikes don’t stick around for long.

The supermarket recently brought back its spin on a certain premium skincare brand, and we’re sure we don’t need to tell you where the inspiration has come from.

There’s Lacura Miracle Oil Spray, £5.49, a moisturising multi-tasker for body and hair, and Lacura Miracle Cream, £4.49, designed to protect, soothe and smooth. They’re online and in store, but could well be sold out in, ahem, eight hours…

DREAM BUY

IF you’re looking for a night cream at a price that won’t keep you awake, check out Q+A’s latest launch for dry, stressed skin, Chamomile Night Cream, £12.

Chamomile is a great anti-inflammatory for tired, aggravated skin, and you’ll also find peptides, hyaluronic acid and vitamin B3 packed into that pot for boosting healthy cell turnover.

BARGAIN BASE

A great foundation for under seven quid? You bet. Catrice True Skin Hydrating Foundation, £6.95, in 17 shades, is a real find because it doesn’t just look like a designer base, it performs like one too.

The formula is so easy to blend, feels weightless, and is genuinely flattering on dry and/or older skin.

It helps that it’s made with hyaluronic acid and watermelon seed oil, so it adds moisture as well as coverage.

PRIMED FOR SAVINGS

PRIMER is a product you might skip when you’re watching the pennies, but it’s a false economy, because primer gives any foundation a more luxurious finish.

Get its benefits for less with Barry M’s new Fresh Face Illuminating Primer, which has the look of a fancy Instagram favourite but comes in at a purse-friendly £6.99. It’s available in two versions to flatter warm- or cool-toned complexions.
