Thanks again for keeping us updated
I really like the last spoke serum but none left in my local Aldi
Wow, Marina. You get the prize for the best stocked Aldi! I would have been all over that little lot and I see a lot of it was reduced as well! I am tempted to have a walk down to mine tomorrow if the forecast storm is not too awful.
I was tempted Andi, but I did a clear up this week, or was it the last, and binned a few Aldi skincare, I have not finished one Aldi jar or a bottle. Today I bought a lip oil, it's very shiny, I only swatched it so far. It was not reduced in price. I'm more likely to use Aldi cosmetics I think rather than their skincare. I was keen on that serum but said no. I was surprised to see the beauty so organised on the shelves today, it's normally in the metal cages.

That shows restraint. You're right, though, and maybe I could be stronger than I think as I am trying not to buy things just to add to my “stock” myself. I would have to get a couple of the La Soie serums for my friend (who already instructed me to pick it up for her if I see it here) and maybe one or two of the Marine things.
I see Lidl have 15% off their (much more limited) health & beauty range next week - you have to have the Lidl Plus app. I do like the Jo Malone, L’Occitane and Rituals (diffusers) dupes though so I shall have to get some of those. It will be under a tenner so I don’t feel guilty! I think I’ll start a separate Lidl thread in the Bargain Hunter / Great Deals section to post details. It won’t be as busy as this thread as it’s nowhere near as large a selection and they don’t keep adding new stuff but even so.
We were talking about possible Aldi perfumes for Valentine’s and they are advertising three men’s and three women’s from Thursday next week. I believe they’ve all been around before?

I can see they've changed the bottles and I wonder if the formular has changed as well.

I thought I recognised those, though I’ve neither tried nor bought the originals or the Aldi versions. I am always curious to try them so will check out if possible.
Are you pleased with your new hairdryer?
The two that I have are both sweet and I prefer the Floral Love, it's less sweet.
I haven't used my new hairdryer yet, and I like it so far, I've picked up the "professional version", it has the buttons on the other side of the handle and I like this little tweak.

... and less heavy
I've read the other day, that because the dupes come straight from the factory, they don't have enough time to mature, and are best left for around six months or longer, and then try again.
Oh, thank you! I take it they were talking about Aldi perfumes generally, not just that Victoria Beckham range? The Classic Italia I was lamenting has been baffling me. Admittedly, I didn’t test it properly first time, but I’ve never had such a change of opinion on a perfume in so short a time and I’m so frustrated, especially as my friend with very similar tastes is crazy about it! I thought it was lovely from the notes and a quick sniff, but actually then applying properly and living with it, I started smelling a different thing altogether, like I’d opened two different bottles. I didn’t know perfumes needing to mature was a thing but now you’ve said that, the idea that it hasn’t had time to mature (or develop/settle) like some fine wines and spirits, makes sense to me. I’m excited to see if and how it “matures”!
I think it was said about dupes in general, and the discussion was about one of Aldi dupes, but not Classic Italia, one of the earlier ones, I can't now recall. I hope this trick works, but don't hold me to this! Have you tried the Lidl perfumes?
Great, thanks.
Yes, I have one of the Lidl ones - the copy of Coco Mademoiselle from a while back, which is very good. I have also tried most of the current ones on the stand near the tills but haven’t bought more as I either don’t love the perfumes they are copies of or I already have them. Definitely keeping an eye on those, though. I go in Lidl 2-4 times a week. What do you think of them?
I didn't buy in Lidl last time because I have them all from previous years and was concerned about repackaging. The ones I have I really like except a couple of the sweet ones, and my favourite one is being the J’Adore dupe.
