Beauty fans will know that there is one mascara that has stood the test of time and never let them down - Benefit's iconic They're Real Lengthening Mascara.
The cult American brand's beauty product has been a firm staple in many make-up bags for its long-lasting effects that give lashes that dramatic, length, curl and volume. But if you don't want to continue forking out over £20 for the popular mascara, then it looks like Aldi has the perfect 'dupe' that is over 50% cheaper and said to be almost identical to the iconic brand.
From a rose oil similar to Pixi to their new Olaplex inspired haircare range, the discounter has been branching out into the beauty world with their own high quality 'dupes' that are a fraction of the cost.
And now they are bringing back the Lacura Too Legit Mascara that has been compared to the popular Benefit Mascara. Available to pre-order now, with a dispatch date of Thursday, July 28, Aldi's beauty product has been a firm staple for many beauty enthusiasts since it was launched in 2019.
Priced at just £5.99, the supermarket's own brand mascara is a much cheaper alternative to Benefit's Too Real that would set you back around £23.
Aldi says of its beauty bag essential: "This make up essential will make sure your eyes pop by adding curl, definition, dramatic length and volume to your lashes.
"Perfect for everyday or evenings out, this will soon become your new go-to item."
With hundreds of five star reviews, it looks like the budget beauty 'dupe' continues to impress shoppers with many saying they would "recommend" the mascara and urged Aldi to never stop stocking it.
"This mascara is absolutely amazing, far better than the branded mascara which has a similar packaging. I always buy in bulk when I see it online as it is rarely available in the stores, I have recommended it to several of my friends and family. It does not make my lashes look clumpy, bits do not crumble off during the day and its very easy to remove at the end of the day . Do not ever stop stocking this mascara", praised one shopper.
"This is a fab dupe of Benefits mascara! Especially for the price, the only thing is it’s a little hard to get off - but I’m unsure if it’s waterproof , but love it regardless!", raved a second.
"Just as good as you-know-what……but a lot cheaper and cruelty free. I’ll be stocking up!", agreed a third.
"I have been using this mascara for years now, and love it! Great coverage, doesn't smudge, works as well as a well known £20+ brand, but at the fraction of the price. Highly recommend", commented a fourth.
