2
There's more make-up in store this week
And one of the absolute favourites is back - the Girl Gone Bad Mascara which users swear is a cut-price dupe for Benefit's BADgal Bang version.
According to the store the £5.99, jet black Aldi option serves up intense volume as well as dramatic lift and curl that lasts up to 36 hours.
Enriched with Vitamin E, it nourishes lashes while creating a full, fluttery finish in just one coat, offering the same dramatic effect as Benefit's mascara, a staple in the Love Island villa - for a whopping £21 less.
Shoppers have been quick to praise the beauty game-changer online.
One said: 'It's brilliant, better than leading brands.'
Another added: "I always buy two so I have one spare!"
The beauty must-have arrives in store this Thursday along with some other bargain dupes.
If you love French beauty brand L'Occitane en Provence, Aldi's Lacura bodycare line is up your avenue.
Lacura Gentle Almond Shower Oil is said to be a dead ringer for L'Occitane's Amande Huille de Douche. But at £4.99, compared to the bougie brand's £22, it's a shower-time snip.
Formulated with sweet almond oil, it promise to gently cleanse and leave the skin feeling butter soft.
Aldi rolls out 'INSANE' shelf change to all 2,550 locations - and it means 33% more savings for shoppers
Meanwhile, the Lacura Nourishing Almond Body Lotion boasts almond oil and vitamin E for a hydrated and supple finish. And it's also £4.99, compared to L'Occitane's Almond Milk Concentrate which is almost 10 times the price at £45.50.
Finally the £4.99 Lacura Almond Exfoliating Body Scrub contains ground sweet almond shell to gently cleanse and exfoliate for softer and smoother skin. It's said to be a dupe for L'Occitane's £24 Almond Shower Scrub.
This week at Aldi there will also be some more marvellous make-up on offer.
Lacura's Perfect Skin Tint is a lightweight tinted moisturiser offering buildable coverage that evens skin tone. It is available in six shades varying from fair to dark and costs £3.99.
Lacura Luminous Lip Oil, also £3.99, moisturises and nourishes lips, while leaving them full of shine. It comes in clear and cherry shades.
And finally, Aldi's precise Sculpting Brow Gel and Pencil, which is £3.40, includes an ultra-fine, dual-ended tip to create precise, hair-like strokes and is available in light, medium and dark.

I ditched my local garden centre for Aldi & found posh outdoor gadget for just £10 – it was 30% OFF in middle aisle
SINCE moving into my new home in March I've become obsessed with improving my shoddy garden. But as any green fingered wannabee knows it's expensive business with a lot of trial and error. 2 2 I've easily blown several hundred in garden centres around my area this summer. Where I can, I try to get the basic stuff from supermarkets, like small potting plants. But when it came to fancy lighting gadgets I decided to leave that to the posh garden centres - I don't want any cheap-looking tacky lights in my new space. I had managed to get some lovely, standard solar lights on stakes from Asda earlier in the season. This time, I wanted something to hang from the tree that comes over the fence. So, I ventured to the pricey garden centre down the road and found the perfect set. Two rustic bronze hanging lights, one with a sloth hanging onto the rope and another with a money. They were £15 each which is a bit steep but well worth it for a bit of character. But then, to my shock just days later I was shopping in Aldi and found the same products available at a much cheaper price. These weren't any dupes either, they appear to be exactly the same. Beloved grocery chain 'better than Costco' to open new store as part of expansion after buying closed Winn-Dixie site In fact, Aldi's were slightly better as they were boxed as opposed to my garden centre that had the pair out and exposed on the shelf at risk of scratches. Aldi's price was £10, so a third less - and as I bought two, this means I could have saved £10 too. So, the lesson I've learnt is that it really does pay off to shop around. And crucially, not to assume that discount supermarkets won't stock fancier bits. I've since given Lidl a go too, and got hold of a bunch of plants much cheaper than I'd seen in garden centres. From now on, when it comes to my gardening needs, I'll be thinking of the supermarket first and foremost. By Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun Since getting stuck into my garden I've found a super handy way to support my plants growth.

Top gift ideas for Mother's Day
Tied with tradition and layered with meaning, the day marks the birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, hence the wave of blue that sweeps across everything from clothing to gift wrapping. The colour, along with the jasmine flower (dok mali), has become synonymous with the occasion – symbols of grace and purity offered in admiration and respect by grateful offspring to mummy-dearest. In contemporary times though it's about reinterpreting iconic elements like garlands, florals and soft blues into gifts that feel personal, thoughtful and anything but basic. So instead of reaching for the usual last-minute bouquet, the following suggestions take the familiar symbols of Thai Mother's Day and give them a contemporary twist. Respectful doesn't have to mean boring – you can celebrate matriarchs this Mother's Day with myriad gifts that combine meaning and modernity. Flowers, bouquets and garlands Flowers might be the classic Mother's Day move but that doesn't mean you have to play it safe. In Thai culture, the jasmine garland (phuang malai) is a time-honoured symbol of purity, love and deep respect. It's given by the child to the mother as a powerful gesture of gratitude. Brands like Flower in Hand by P, 1000malai, Loca Flowers and Ivy & Pollen are turning tradition into art. They're crafting garlands that go beyond the usual – a mix of florals, textures and unexpected details made just for Mother's Day. Each piece is exclusive, expressive and designed to say more than words ever could. Baked goodies Now for something sweet. We're talking confections made with precision so fine they're almost too pretty to eat: they're the kind of gift that speaks for you. It only takes a bit of thought to turn something beautiful into something personal. After all, just knowing your mother's favourite flavours shows that you've been paying attention, and that's the part she'll love most. Thai pastries bring more than flavour to the table though – they bring feeling. At Summer Forest that sentiment shines through in custom cakes with edible photo prints paired with a Mother's Day-ready set that includes a floral garland. Meanwhile, Little Hideout Patisserie leans into French classics, presenting desserts adorned with lace-like floral decorations – delicate touches that feel just right for celebrating Mum. Scented essentials Thailand's scented scene offers plenty of ways to bottle up affection. Long associated with Thai motherhood, jasmine often takes centre stage – its gentle notes stirring calm and quiet nostalgia with every inhalation. And when it comes to packaging, the same care is applied: each item is thoughtfully wrapped and often looks just as striking as the scent inside. From artisanal candles to perfume oils and room sprays, these fragrant essentials feel like love letters in a bottle. Thai brands have captured the signature scent of jasmine in their own distinct ways. Panpuri's Siamese Water pairs jasmine with crisp mint and citrus for a clean and enervating modern take. Garland by Journal channels the soft femininity of a traditional Thai offering, while Bath & Bloom's Thai Jasmine stays rooted in purity, delivering a timeless floral profile. Each interpretation sets a different mood but all honour jasmine's deep ties to love and tradition. For something that lasts beyond the day and prolongs the personal vibe, look to pieces that carry a story, a sense of craft or a touch of everyday charm. Thai designers continue to turn heritage into keepsakes. Scarves take on new life through brands like Jim Thompson and Naraya, where classic Thai silk is reinterpreted in elegant, enduring designs. Tote bags from Slowstitch studio and Marionsiam offer a more earth-conscious perspective, celebrating natural dyes, handwoven textures and traditional techniques through a modern, sustainable lens. On the jewellery front, Sarran leans into soft femininity, transforming floral details into sculptural pieces. Rooted in themes of motherhood and womanhood, the brand honours the quiet strength and beauty of maternal love, making its creations especially meaningful for the occasion. Shependence, by contrast, embraces a minimalist ethos with clean-lined gold and silver pieces that empower through simplicity. Their photo lockets, designed to hold tiny family portraits, offer a deeply intimate sentimental touch.

The 10/10 supermarket polish spray that beats Mr Sheen and Pledge – and it costs just 85p
DUSTING was ranked among the most hated household chores in a poll - especially shelves and skirting boards. But using the right polish can make the job easier and even repel dust and fingerprints so you don't have to do it as often. 9 Mr Sheen is the go-to in most households but as the cost of living rises, many of us can't afford to spend £1.80 on a spray. Fortunately many supermarkets have launched cheaper dupes. Here Lynsey Hope reveals her favourites: Mr Sheen Multi Surface Polish (250ml) Mr Sheen claims to pick up two times more dust than a paper towel alone. It's versatile too as it is designed to work across multiple surfaces, including wood, glass, metal and plastic. I found it very handy as you don't need tons of other bottles in the cupboard. Not only did it leave surfaces clean but it leaves them with a glossy finish and it adds a protective layer to surfaces, helping to prevent damage and prolong their lifespan. The spring fresh scent was pleasant - and subtle. The only downside is the price. It's 95p more than the cheapest polish options from Aldi and Lidl and there is 50ml less in the can. Performance: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Total score: 8/10 How to keep your paddling pool spotless and safe this summer Lidl W5 Furniture Polish with Beeswax (300ml) 85p Loved the beeswax in this, which left furniture a rich colour and looking both clean and well cared for. It was effective at picking up dust and left surfaces looking shiny, but it did leave some surfaces such as glass looking a bit streaky. It also had quite a strong perfume smell. Exceptional value though. It's 95p cheaper than Mr Sheen and you get 50ml more in the can. Performance: 3/5 Value: 4/5 Total score: 7/10 M&S Furniture Polish (300ml) £2.50 So expensive from M&S - and it smells like paint stripper. I had to open doors to get rid of the stench after using it. I kept checking the packaging to make sure I hadn't grabbed something more potent out of the cleaning cupboard by accident. Surfaces were left streak-free and had a lovely glossy finish afterwards. But I had a headache. I can't stress the strength of the smell enough. Shame as other M&S products have been real favourites and often good value compared to big brands. That's not the case with this potent polish. Performance: 2/5 Value: 1/5 Total score: 3/10 Tesco Multi Surface Polish (300ml) 85p Incredibly good value, the Tesco spray did a great job on a selection of surfaces including plastic, metal, glass, wood and mirrors. Again not only did it remove dust and particles but it is formulated to nourish and protect, too. I didn't really like using it on glass and mirrors as it left smears but overall it did a reasonable job. I didn't mind the smell but it was a little more potent than others. Performance: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Total score: 7/10 Sainsbury's Furniture Polish Original (300ml) £1 A subtle, clean and fresh fragrance. This formula also contains beeswax which seemed to be especially good at nourishing wood surfaces and preventing dryness and cracks. It kept my furniture looking rich in colour and condition. The nozzle was faulty on a couple of the aerosols. It seemed a bit hit and miss as to whether they worked or not. Not the cheapest but still a steal when compared to big brands. Performance: 3/5 Value: 3/5 Total score: 6/10 Pledge Every-Day Multi-Surface (250ml) £1.80 Even though this is a branded, pricier polish, it left smears. I wasn't impressed at all. It smells ok about but it's nearly a quid more than most own brand polishes and I'd have expected it to do a better job. It is multi-surface so you can use it on everything from wood and glass to stone and steel. You can even use it to clean electronics, which was useful. But it was no good on glass or shinier materials as it left too much smear behind. And it seemed to take quite a bit of elbow grease to rub it in. Performance: 2/5 Value: 2/5 Total score: 4/10 Asda Multi Surface Polish (300ml) 94p Although the aerosol is a good size, this can didn't seem to last as long as others. You needed more of it to clean and it didn't go as far. It didn't seem as wet as Mr Sheen and I ran out quickly. It has a classic polish smell and isn't overpowering. It costs 9p more than Aldi, Lidl and Tesco but ran out quicker, so I didn't think it was as good value. The instructions were a little unclear too - it says multi-surface and tells you what it can't be used on. What it can be used on is a bit of a guess. Performance: 3/5 Value: 2/5 Total score: 5/5 Aldi Power Force Multi Surface Polish (300ml) 85p I really rated Aldi's polish. It's suitable for a variety of surfaces including wood, glass, tiles, plastic, mirrors and metal. It left surfaces smear free and had a classic polish smell and wasn't overpowering. I used it religiously on surfaces over a period of weeks and it didn't cause any damage. Even windows were left streak-free. At 85p, this is an absolute steal and my winner. Performance: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Total score: 10/10
