Looking back, I can't remember buying a Lacura Beauty lipstick that didn't impress me. The formula of any Aldi lipstick in my kit has always been creamy, super pigmented and moist, and they wear pretty well too, which is why every time there's a new range on special, I buy the lot - that, and the fact that they are as cheap as chips ♥ This most recent release of Photo-Fit Lipsticks were $4.99 each, amazing value as usual, and I have to hand it to Aldi - the packaging just keeps getting better, and you can really appreciate what I mean when you compare them to the first set I reviewed back in 2014 HERE (there's been a dramatic improvement in my photography and lip swatching skills too, thankfully!)...
I don't review every variety they sell as they are often "specials" and therefore gone within days (sometimes hours) and what's the point of writing a rave about something that no-one can get their hands on. But I made an exception with this lot as I was able to still find them five days after the release (mind you I had to go to four stores!) and picked up an extra set for the giveaway. Sadly, only four shades in the range, but surprise surprise, for me they are actually ALL wearable ♥...
This first one is New York and the lightest of the set. I was fully expecting to swatch and then bin it immediately as being too pale for my complexion, but it's really quite pretty and doesn't look half bad on me, which is a major achievement for a barely-there pastel pink ♥...
This is London, and I reckon it's the standout because it's such an interesting nude+/mauve, and I don't have many lipsticks in my kit that are a similar hue, plus it's so amazingly flattering ♥...
This pretty bold pink is Milan, and only one layer - another couple of swipes gives an impressively dense and intense fuchsia that will take you through spring and summer with some attitude lol ♥...
The last one is Paris, a sensational orange-red - ooh la la, it's so vibrant it may even glow in the dark ha ha! ♥...
So so comfortable, all of these kept my lips supple and moist for hours - they don't survive a meal, but that's pretty standard for such a hydrating formula. They have a very very faint caramellish fragrance and taste, but honestly, it's barely detectable. If you're looking for them in-store, the packaging is red and black, which brings me to the giveaway!...
If you missed these, then here's your chance to pick up all four shades, and because the parcel will be so lightweight, I'm opening this giveaway...

It's a special one hey Mica! I rarely check the makeup/beauty section in Aldi as their regularly stocked products can be a bit meh, whereas items like these lipsticks are "special buys" and are found on the tables in the centre of the store xxx
DeleteI think London suits me .. really want to try it .. by the way other colors are so awesome too
ReplyDeleteLondon sure seems to be the fave! I reckon it would suit lots of gals xxx
Deletethank you so much dear :)
DeleteI have received the package .. thank you so much dear :)
DeleteI like the London. Reminds me of an Avon lippy - mystic mauve I thinks it’s called.
ReplyDeleteYep I reckon London is the winner in this set Okatko - SO pretty hey!
