Aldi worker reveals best dupes including Charlotte Tilbury and Benefit

Aldi's famed 'middle aisle' is stocked with beauty dupes this March, with one worker revealing some of their returning favourites.

Dylan, an employee at the chain, posted a TikTok of the offers that kicked off on Sunday. Most of the items are less than £10, with many even less than £5.

Dylan kicked things off by showcasing Aldi's Lacura Girl Gone Bad Mascara, priced at a purse-friendly £5.99. The product is a dupe of the more high-end Benefit BADgal BANG!, which is currently priced at £25.50 on the official Benefit website.

Also in the Lacura range is the Micro-filling Pen & Clear Gel for £3.99 which looks almost identical to Benefit’s £24.50 Brow Gels.
As shown by Dylan, who goes by the username @dylansreviews, savvy shoppers can also treat themselves to Take Cover Concealer, which is priced at £3.99.

Again, this product looks uncannily like Benefit’s Boi-Ing Cakeless Concealer which would set you back £22. Other bargain products include Lacura Healthy Glow Rose Oil for £3.99 as well as Lacura lip gloss, liners, and lipsticks, all for a very snippy £2.99. These lipsticks appear to be Charlotte Tilbury dupes, where a single lipstick will set you back £27.

In terms of skincare, beauty buffs can pamper themselves with a Lacura Purifying Pink Clay Mask for £5.99 or a Pink Clay Exfoliating Face Scrub for £2.99. There's even a pore cleanser set for £9.99. Perhaps most excitingly of all, Aldi is stocking a range of Lacura fragrances said to be dupes of luxury scents, each one retailing for just £6.

This collection includes Dark Blossom, a dupe of YSL’s £108 perfume Black Opium, Guardian, a dupe of the £100 Thierry Mugler scent, Angel (£100), and Lady Pour Femme, believed to be inspired by Carolina Herrera's £94 Good Girl perfume.

Many of Dylan's followers have been thrilled by the very reasonable offers, vowing to head out on their own beauty hauls. One person gushed: "Oh I love the rose oil! I've been waiting forever and also the concealer is fab!"

Another wrote: "Omg I’m so glad I picked some of this up before it all sells out due to your video."
