Aldi's £5.99 mascara is returning after fans begged for the ‘best ever' lash booster
Shoppers have been practically begging the budget supermarket to restock the Lacura Girl Gone Bad mascara and their prayers have finally been answered.
The bargain beauty buy is hitting shelves again this Thursday, 31st July, as part of Aldi's cult-favourite SpecialBuys range.
Known for its intense volume, smudge-proof formula, and dramatic curl, the mascara has developed a bit of a cult following, especially among those who love a beauty bargain.
One beauty fan on Reddit wrote: 'Aldi's Lacura Girl Gone Bad mascara is the best mascara I've ever used, but I can no longer find it.
"Literally the best I've used for length, thickness, no smudging and no need to layer it up. I always buy multiple packs whenever I see it!'
And if the name sounds familiar, there's a reason for that.
Savvy shoppers were quick to clock that Girl Gone Bad seems to be Aldi's take on Benefit's Badgal Bang! mascara, which is a favourite among beauty lovers that comes with a whopping £27 price tag.
One fan commented: 'Sounds like the name is a dupe for Bad Gal Bang by Benefit, which is the best mascara I've ever used!!'
Just like its designer inspiration, Aldi 's version promises to deliver intense black pigment, mega volume, and all-day wear, claiming it will hold your lashes for up to 36 hours.
The formula is infused with Vitamin E, known for its nourishing, strengthening, and lash-loving properties.
So not only will your lashes look longer and fuller, they'll actually be treated while you wear it.
Aldi's backyard essential is flying off shelves for only $29.99 and instantly gets your home ready for summer
Housed in a sleek 15ml black-and-pink tube, it's handbag-friendly and perfect for on-the-go top-ups.
Whether you're a daily mascara wearer or just need something reliable for nights out, it's the kind of product you'll want to stock up on – especially since once it's gone, it's gone.
And it's not the only beauty bargain dropping this week.
Also joining Aldi's shelves is a dupe for Charlotte Tilbury's Flawless Finish Setting Spray.
Its Illuminate Setting Spray retails at just £4.49 compared to the eye-watering £32 for the designer original.
That's a £27.51 saving for something that promises to lock in your glam all day long.
To top it all off, Aldi's Lacura line is also releasing a range of beauty tools for just £5.99, so you can complete your glam kit without blowing your budget.
The sell-out LED Face Mask is also back and available for just £12.99.
The mask features seven different light settings and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, redness and inflammation and is the perfect tool to deliver a spa-worthy facial at home, for less.
What's more, they also have a handy LED indicator, this easy-to-use beauty hack is the secret to a lifted, bright-eyed look.
The LED Mirror with Make-Up Brush Set (£5.99) is another one you won't want to miss, it includes two large kabuki brushes, three precise brushes and a rotatable touch sensor mirror.
Aldi's Lacura range has long been the supermarket's not-so-secret weapon, offering purse-friendly dupes of high-end skincare, haircare and makeup that regularly go viral and sell out just as fast.
These products are in-store only and part of the SpecialBuys drop, meaning once they hit shelves, they don't hang around.
So if you're still chasing the perfect lash look without the prestige price tag, now's your chance.

Insiders reveal Kelly Osbourne's final promise to Ozzy
Hidden behind her father Ozzy's trademark round sunglasses , Kelly Osbourne fought to keep her composure as she held up her grieving mother. With her arms around her for support, Kelly watched as a heartbroken Sharon crouched down to place a single rose on a mound of floral tributes in front of thousands of fans who had lined the streets of Birmingham to pay their respects to the Prince of Darkness on Wednesday. Clearly overwhelmed by the crowds, Kelly took a moment as she hugged her brother Jack at the Black Sabbath Bridge site which fast became a memorial for the beloved heavy metal icon after his death, aged 76, last week. It was a particularly poignant moment for Kelly, 40, whose stoicism was a nod to her late father and the touching promise she had made him. 'The last few days have been a tough ride, but Kelly has been focused on executing plans with her mum,' an insider told the Daily Mail. 'Of course there have been tears, but she promised her dad - who openly spoke about not wanting people to mourn but rather celebrate his life - that she would not crumble in public.' The Black Sabbath legend 'always pushed them to 'celebrate what people have done in life, not [expletive] worry about what's next,' and his daughter has embraced his ethos. However, while Kelly has been trying her best to do exactly what her rocker father would have wanted, she is worried about her mother. Those close to the family are said to be extremely 'concerned about the impact this is having on Sharon,' adding that 'she and Ozzy were such a unique couple [and] them being apart it is heartbreaking'. Insiders previously disclosed to the Daily Mail the growing concerns for Sharon, 72, who has dealt with her own health issues over the years, including a colon cancer diagnosis in 2002 that led to surgery and chemotherapy. The music manager, who has been vocal about her life-long struggle with body image issues, also recently revealed she has struggled to gain weight after stopping popular weight-loss drug Ozempic. Sharon and Ozzy had a tumultuous, high-profile relationship that was well-documented by the media and their reality TV show, The Osbournes. The couple first met in 1970 when Sharon - the daughter of Ozzy's then manager -was only 18. At the time, he was married to his first wife Thelma, with whom he had two children, Louis and Jessica. After Ozzy left Black Sabbath, Sharon took over as his manager, and their epic love story began, with a wedding in Hawaii on July 4, 1982. They weathered countless affair allegations - one of which pushed Sharon to overdose - and celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary on July 4, one day before Ozzy's farewell concert, Back to the Beginning. But 'Kelly will now be there for Sharon,' because of the 'very unique bond' she shared with her father. The Mama I'm Coming Home singer previously told Rolling Stone they were 'like two peas in a pod' and gushed about their unbreakable bond, admitting, 'If I've got a favorite kid, it's Kelly' while joking that his other children knew how he felt. One of Ozzy's biggest dreams was that Kelly would find love like her brother Jack, who married his second wife Aree Gearhart 14 months after welcoming their daughter Maple. Jack, 39, is also a father to daughters Pearl, 11, Andy, seven, and Minnie, five, from his first marriage to Lisa Stelly. 'Ozzy was Kelly's biggest champion in her career and in love,' the insider said, adding while he might be remembered as a 'tough rock star, he was really an emotional teddy bear when it came to the kids.' 'One of his hopes was always that Kelly would find the right partner and fulfil her dream to start a family,' they said. 'For years she had been the doting auntie to Jack's babies and as aunt and granddad they had enjoyed that experience together.' Kelly's partner Sid Wilson, 48, a member of the band Slipknot, proposed at the end of her father's final gig as a fitting farewell. They first met when Kelly was 13 and Sid was 20 during Ozzfest, the heavy metal festival founded by her parents. The loved up couple confirmed their relationship in early 2022, after knowing each other for more than two decades. Just months later, they announced they were expecting their first child. Their son, Sidney, arrived in November 2022. 'When Sid got together with Kelly and they had their son, there was huge joy for Oz,' the insider continued, adding that during his toughest days of feeling unwell and in pain, spending time with his grandson and Kelly helped keep his spirits up and 'bolstered the bond' with his beloved daughter. 'He used to sing to Sidney and play silly games,' they said. 'This was a huge comfort for Kelly, who saw her dad's physical state declining.' Now all eyes will be on Kelly's son, who Ozzy proudly declared 'could become the one to follow him into music'.

The hit song lyrics that Mike Posner says aren't ‘true anymore'
Singer Mike Posner has disowned the lyrics of his 2016 hit song "I Took a Pill in Ibiza", as 'none of them are true anymore'. The 37-year-old musician, whose track topped the UK charts for four weeks, originally wrote the song after taking ecstasy with DJ Avicii in Ibiza, opening with the line: 'I took a pill in Ibiza to show Avicii I was cool'. Posner expressed pride in his personal transformation over the past 11 years, emphasising self-love and a shift away from behaviours he once engaged in to seek approval. He detailed overcoming significant physical and emotional challenges, such as climbing Mount Everest, leading to his healthiest relationship. The song generated controversy upon its release in 2016 due to its drug references, drawing criticism from Ibiza tourism chiefs and prompting questions about the BBC's decision to playlist it.

Elton John and Spin̈al Tap release new version of Stonehenge – and correct stage prop disaster
Elton John and Spin̈al Tap have joined forces on a new version of the band's song Stonehenge – and have finally corrected one of the great scenery-based mishaps in classic rock. The song, performed in the 1984 rock-mockumentary This Is Spin̈al Tap, is at the heart of one of the film's most cherished scenes: when the band, having made a mistake when commissioning an 18ft Stonehenge stage prop, have to make do with an 18in version being lowered from the rafters. After some hired dwarves caper around it, the band's David St Hubbins complains that they looked likely to crush it underfoot. No such problems with the new version made for the long-awaited sequel Spın̈al Tap II: The End Continues, which will be released 12 September in the US and UK (and 25 September in Australia). In the scene, released today along with a recording of the song on streaming services, the band put in a considerably more triumphant performance, complete with full-sized standing stones and the return of the dwarves. Appearing in a cloak from beneath the stage is Elton John, who takes over the lead vocal, singing lyrics such as 'Stonehenge, where a man's a man / and the children dance to the pipes of Pan' with the requisite po-faced grandeur. John is one of a number of starry cameos in the film, along with Paul McCartney, Questlove, Metallica's Lars Ulrich and more. Michael McKean reprises his role as St Hubbins alongside Christopher Guest as Nigel Tufnel and Harry Shearer as Derek Smalls, heading up a supporting cast filled with British comedy stars such as Nina Conti, Chris Addison and Kerry Godliman. The film will have the documentary film-maker Marty DiBergi (played by Rob Reiner) following the group as they prepare for a final reunion show. The first trailer was released earlier this week. An accompanying soundtrack album has also been announced. Elton John will appear again on Flower People, while McCartney joins them for Cups and Cakes, and country music couple Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood perform Big Bottom.
