Lip Lovin on the Cheap

While I know that the Lacura line of beauty products from Aldi {yes that Aldi} has been available in the states since last year, I just happened to be in Aldi last week and decided to pick up a couple of the lip glosses and put them to my test.

A lil background on me and my lip gloss obsession. I can NEVER EVER be without some sort of gloss.


For one, if my lips are not covered I will lick them to death and two, while most days I don’t do a full out makeup job on my face, I just love having a soft colored pout.


At any given time I have at least 4 glosses in my bag and I hate it when I am having a self imposed downsize day and carrying a bag that while it’s giving my shoulders a break, is too small to fit a bunch of them in it!.


So me and lipgloss…we got a thang going on. We are inseperable. So I am always on the lookout for new ones.


The Lacura glosses come in 5 colors.

I purchased the #501 Soft Brown and #590 Espresso.

 
Here are the two colors pre application. The Soft Brown actually has an almost pinkish hue to it, while the Espresso definitely has a nice brown vibe going.

Here is a side by side comparison of both colors on my lips.

Neither of the glosses are sticky, they have a pleasant smell and the Espresso has a slightly thicker consistency than the Soft Brown.

These $2.49 a pop glosses can hold their own and I must say that they have pleasantly surprised me.
