New Aldi lip balms dupe of viral luxury brand
The new "buttery smooth" lippies are inspired by the viral Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balms, only they don't come the hefty £23 price tag.
Priced at just £3.49 each, they are said to have a "nourishing" formula, with three flavours available to choose from - Cake Pop, Dulce De Leche, and Vanilla.
The balms have quickly become an instant hit, with one shopper saying: "Got all three today! Love an Aldi dupe."
While another added: "These are amazing, definitely the star of the show."
The new products have been infused with a blend of hydrating ingredients which create a high-shine formula, and a softer, smoother looking pout.
Balms have beauty fans hooked
Despite being a recent addition to the Lacura collection, they have been crowned the standout product from Aldi's new summer line.
The lip saviour has captured the attention of beauty fans on Instagram, with many writing "obsessed" and "need them all."
Another happy customer wrote: "Got all three, they smell and feel divineee."
A TikTok user added: "These smell very similar to the OG Summer Fridays lip balms."
The post's full caption read: "Safe to say we're OBSESSED. Will you be picking up the Vanilla, Cake Pop, or Dulce De Leche? Lacura Lip Balm £3.49 in store now!"

Aldi loves a dupe
This is not Aldi's only beauty special buy that has seen shoppers flock to the shops to get their hands on a good deal.
Last month, the store launched two brand new Lacura Watermelon Serums which offered a cheaper alternative to Glow Recipe's cult products.
The serum dupes came in at a cool £4.99, seeing shoppers make a huge saving, with the original product retailing for an eye-watering £32.
Aldi bosses said: "The serums tap into the latest skincare trend: butter skin."
They also assured that the skincare products would leave skin "glowing and nourished - without the luxury price tag."

Belly dancer influencer arrested for ‘using seduction techniques' and ‘exposing sensitive areas' in viral online vids
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BELLY dancer influencer has been arrested for "using seduction techniques" and "exposing sensitive areas" in her viral online videos. Online sensation Linda Martino, originally from Italy, was arrested for "immortality" in strict Egypt two weeks ago - and is to remain in prison for another fortnight. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 A belly dancer influencer has been arrested for 'using seduction techniques' Credit: Instagram 5 Online sensation Linda Martino, originally from Italy, was arrested for 'immortality' in strict Egypt Credit: Instagram 5 Linda has over two million followers on Instagram Credit: Instagram Linda - who has over two million followers on Instagram - moved to the North African country a few years ago and has built a successful career in belly dancing. Videos of her performing in popular clubs to various Egyptian hit songs have garnered millions of views across various social media platforms. But an investigation was reportedly triggered by one of her most shared videos, where Linda performs in a cabaret in a traditional belly dancing costume. The Cairo prosecutor's office accuses the young woman of having "used seduction techniques and provocative dances to incite vice". According to authorities' report, in some videos Linda "deliberately wore provocative clothing and performed dance movements with sexual allusions" They say she therefore disrespected "public decency" and the "values of family and society". Investigators also argued the artist "appeared in indecent clothing, deliberately exposing sensitive areas of her body, in clear violation of social values". She denies all the charges against her and claims she practices her profession in compliance with the law. The dancer said after being arrested: "I have the permits to practice my activity and all the videos circulating on social media are normal. "It is a permitted dance performance and does not contain anything that violates or goes against public morals." Irish TD Paul Murphy detained in Egypt and passport confiscated after bus stopped amid March to Gaza She added that the content she records is "only for entertainment purposes". Whilst belly dancing isn't prohibited in Egypt, videos on social media have to comply with the country's values. Egypt has increased its cruel crackdowns on artists and influences accused of offending public morals. Under Abdel Fattah Al Sisi's government, at least five belly dancers have been horrifically jailed on charges similar to those given to Linda. The Pharaoh nation sucks in a staggering 18 million tourists each year, and the industry props up around 10 per cent of the whole economy. But beyond the plush resorts of the popular Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada - Egypt is covering up its dark underbelly. The country's brutal police force deals in bribes and locks people up on bogus charges, including Brit holidaymakers. Egypt's picture-postcard image is being tested, with a former British ambassador to the country recently branding it a "police state". 5 Videos of her performing in popular clubs to various Egyptian hit songs have garnered millions of views Credit: Instagram

Denise Richards' husband 'files for divorce' as huge monthly spend laid bare
Former the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise Richards has been married to Aaron Phypers for almost seven years and he's said to have filed for divorce this week Former the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Aaron Phypers has reportedly filed for divorce from Denise Richards this week. He's been married to the actor for more than six year but they are now said to have separated recently. Denise, 54 - who played 'Bond girl' Christmas Jones in the James Bond film the World Is Not Enough (1999) - began her relationship with Aaron, 52, back in 2017. The couple married the following year, months after their engagement. Aaron's now said to have filed for divorce in Los Angeles today, just two months before their seventh wedding anniversary. It's been reported that he has cited "irreconcilable differences" and lists July 4 as the date of their separation. TMZ reports that according to court documents, obtained by the outlet, he's seeking spousal support from Denise and reportedly has no income of his own. It adds that Aaron estimates that his wife is grossing over $250,000 a month - around £185,000 - from OnlyFans, TV, brand deals and appearances. It's also reported that in the filing he estimates that they spend $105,000 - around £77,000 - a month on average and that Denise has been covering it. Their monthly spending is said to include $20K on clothes and $15K on eating out, which is around £15,000 and £11,000 respectively. According to People magazine, which is also said to have seen court documents, Aaron has asked to keep their assets and debts as separate property. The request is said to include his power tools, a motorcycle and a sports car. Denise, whose acting credits include films like Wild Things (1998), was once married to fellow actor Charlie Sheen. Aaron has himself been married previously, with him the ex-husband of former Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan. Through her first marriage, Denise shares her eldest children Sami, 21, and Lola, 20, with her ex-husband Charlie. She's also a parent to Eloise, 14, whom she adopted after her divorce from the former Two and a Half Men star. Denise paid tribute to Aaron last year for their sixth wedding anniversary. She wrote on Instagram at the time: "Happy Anniversary babes! You're my forever and I love you so much. Thank you for always having my back & being the most supportive husband." Aaron also marked the occasion in September last year. He wrote: "Happy anniversary to my sweetest love! Thanks for always being there my beautiful wife! Love you!" Denise and Aaron have appeared together on TV in recent years. It includes on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, with Denise having been part of the main cast between 2019 and 2020, though she's also made guest appearances. They have more recently featured alongside her children on Denise Richards & Her Wild Things. The reality TV show about the family launched on Bravo earlier this year and the first series, which had eight episodes, concluded in April.

This Morning's Vanessa Feltz makes sad admission after split from partner
This Morning star Vanessa Feltz has opened up on life since her split from partner Ben Ofoedu in 2023 This Morning star Vanessa Feltz has made a sad admission after her split from her partner. The 63-year-old broadcaster initially tied the knot with surgeon Michael Kurer back in 1983, before their marriage ended in divorce in 2000. Together they welcomed daughters Allegra and Saskia, and now have four grandchildren. Vanessa later got engaged to musician Ben Ofoedu in 2006. Despite initially planning to wed the following year, the couple remained engaged throughout their time together without getting married. In February 2023, Vanessa revealed that she and Ben had called time on their relationship. Shortly after their separation, Vanessa opened up on This Morning about coping with the split, reports Wales Online. "People have been amazing. Absolutely amazing, and of course it helps a lot," she told presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby at the time. "I can't sleep at all, so reading thousands and thousands of messages from lovely people on Instagram is something to do in the night." She added: "When you have to end a relationship it's very hard. I've had what feels like millions of messages from so, so many people going through it. "I wouldn't want to minimise in any way what it's like when you're heartbroken. It's horrible." More than two years later, Vanessa has provided a fresh insight into her life post-split, where she made a sad admission. During an interview with Radio Times, Vanessa was quizzed about who has control over the television remote in her household. She candidly replied: "I live on my own these days. I've been out every night for two years and five months. "There have only been maybe five nights where it's been me in front of the TV with my dinner on a tray, because I don't want to be at home, eating alone." Vanessa currently presents her self-titled Channel 5 daytime talk show, which was advertised as a rival to ITV favourite Loose Women. Yet, the programme has come under fire recently, racking up nearly 2,000 Ofcom complaints following an episode that sparked controversy over allegedly "misleading" content regarding breastfeeding.
