I pitted Aldi’s £5.99 mascara against Too Faced dupe - but one clumped my lashes

Budget supermarket Aldi are best known for their sturdy carrier bags , speedy checkouts, low prices and of course, their knack for creating cheap dupes of expensive products. And this week, I’ve been putting one of their mascara’s through its paces.

It’s not instantly obvious what the Lacura ‘Larger than Life’ mascara is a dupe of. But when you consider that comparative name, and look closely at some of the details, it’s safe to assume it’s inspired by the Too Faced ‘Better Than Sex’ mascara.

The Aldi budget beauty buy comes with a £5.99 price tag, which I consider fairly high for the retailer. Particularly when there are some drugstore mascaras available in Boots for less.
