The supermarket’s iconic Lip Kits, Dyson blow-dryer imitations and new tropical beauty balms inspired by Sol De Janerio are back in stores for a limited time, to name a few.

Visage Iconic Hairdryer – £14.99

Aldi’s iconic hairdryer is back and it’s a whopping £314 cheaper than the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer it’s reportedly inspired by.

With a three-year warranty, customers can choose from pink and gray, or blue and gold.

But what did Fabulous’ Beauty Writer, Mia Lyndon think of the blow-dryer? She tested it out and shared her thoughts…

“This is an ionic dryer that uses negatively charged ions to target water molecules and dry your hair, instead of heat,” she explains.

“While you should still use heat protection when blow-drying, this technology reduces the damage that can otherwise lead to dryness, thinning hair, and split ends.

“Ionic hair dryers also dry your hair faster and can help minimize frizz.

“The removable intake grille is a great feature because it allows you to easily clean the filter, which can otherwise lead to reduced efficiency and a burning smell.

“Compared to Dyson, the ALDI hair dryer is top-heavy, which means it’s less comfortable and labor-intensive to use,” says Mia.

“Normally, my long, thick hair takes a while to dry, so if I were to use this dryer, my hands would hurt.

“But the dryer has a simple control panel, which allows you to increase the heat and speed, as well as a cool setting (which is great for setting your look after styling).

“The Dyson Supersonic has five attachments, while the Aldi hair dryer only has a styling concentrator.

“And while this is great for smoothing your cuticles, which reduces frizz and hair, the attachment is tricky to attach and remove. I thought I was going to break it on my first try!”

“Overall it’s a good hair dryer for the price.”

Lacura Fabulash Mascara/Primer – £4.99

Aldi’s mascara/primer set is said to promote stronger lashes and is a real beautician.

The primer is formulated with caring and strengthening ingredients for the lashes, such as panthenol and vitamin E. The primer strengthens the lashes and thus forms the perfect base for mascara. The mascara lengthens the lashes, making them last all day and night without clumping.

Lacura Lip Kit – £4.49 each

You can choose from three shades: Nearly Nude, Velvet Sugar or Just Peachy.

Tropical Essence Booty Balm – £4.99

The Tropical Essence Booty Balm is said to “firm your skin and add a healthy glow”.

There’s also a Body Scrub in the same sweet vanilla and salted caramel scent for £3.99.
