Aldi Health & Beauty

[Totally Loopy Lou]

Can't say that I'm impressed by any of the Christmas ads so far!

Oh I actually like the Waitrose one: great cast and I have a massive soft spot for Matthew Macfadyen!
Plus I do sort of want to know “whodunnit”! And it’s a bit different from your standard offering!

Also liked the fact the Lidl one is focused on their charity toy bank rather than promoting their wares directly, tho it is a little (lot!) cheesey!

I have to say, however, most of them this year do seem to come across as mere shopping lists for the brand…

Tesco’s and M&S in particular.
John Lewis is more materialistic than usual too…

I'd no idea they were allegedly famous,no idea who they are.

I have been away for a few days and I haven’t kept up with the forum. I haven’t had time to look at all the videos about the products that Marina has kindly posted but I have done a list of the items and dupes in case anyone is interested. I hope none of the videos contradicts what I have put here.

* Note
Lacura Caviar Gold range : The La Prairie Pure Gold range, which it is compared to, doesn’t seem to contain caviar. The Aldi items seem to be a combination of La Prairie Pure Gold and La Prairie Skin Caviar, which is their “budget range” (only £500 for the Skin Caviar 50ml face cream, for example, as I’m sure you all know as you buy it regularly!).
Also the Aldi leaflet says “Coming Soon” next to the Caviar Gold products. I don’t know if that means they may not be available tomorrow?

Phew well done.

Phew well done.

Thanks Andi

Thanks Andi, I was wondering where you were. Just kidding.

Although some items say delayed, they are not on Aldi delayed list, so fingers crossed.

Phew well done.

Thanks Andi

I hope they’re pretty accurate. I notice I gave the wrong price for the La Soie set (£9.99) and I think I got a couple of RRPs wrong, eg the La Mer originals, for which it looks like I gave a retailer’s discounted prices. But if you buy the La Soie serum for £6.99, you are still saving a fortune whether the La Mer one is £375 or £300. (I mean, who pays that for a face product anyway, apart from men with too much money for their wives and mistresses?)

• La Soie Concentrate Serum 30ml £6.99 = La Mer The Concentrate 30ml RRP £375.00
• La Soie Gift Set: Facial Moisturiser 30ml & Eye Concentrate 15ml with applicator £9.99 = La Mer Crème de La Mer Moisturising Cream 30ml £165.00 & The Eye Concentrate 15ml with applicator RRP £215.00 (total equivalent £380.00)

I was in a bit of a hurry this morning. Will do better next time!

They may be dupes of super duper posh stuff... but I haven't heard of half of them!
