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."
