The 27-year-old from the Midlands reveals to Fabulous that she used to love high-end make-up, but her budget for buying designer concealer and mascara has massively reduced since becoming a mum.

That's why she was thrilled to head down to Aldi to check out their latest drop of make-up and skincare dupes, all at a fraction of the price.

She says: "I’ve always been a massive fan of these products but since becoming a mum my budget for beauty products has massively reduced.

"So it’s great to be able to access dupes like these, to give yourself some treats and self-care without breaking the bank."

Here, the savvy mum reveals her top beauty buys from the Aldi range and exactly what dupes are worth picking up.

Concealer

The Tarte Shape Tape concealer is a huge hit with beauty fans but let's be honest, we don't all have a spare £24.89 to splurge on one make-up product.

The savvy mum, while browsing the Aldi special buy aisles found the perfect dupe.

The Lacura Take Cover concealer is a steal at £3.99 and will save you £20 more than buying the original.

Mascara

Benefit's They're Real mascara took the internet by storm when it was released over ten years ago.

Its spikey rubber wand is perfect for adding volume to sparse lashes and retails for £25.

But Aldi has a similar mascara which has a similar spiked wand to give the same results.

Beth says: "I’m a big fan of the benefit ones but I really can’t justify paying those prices as a Mum.

"I think the quality of the dupe is actually really good, and for the massive saving, it’s well worth it."

And Beth isn't the only person who is a fan of it, the mascara has an average review of 4.5 stars on the website and is a fraction of the price of the original at £5.99.

Cleanser

Finding a good cleanser that doesn't dry out your skin and doesn't cost the earth can be difficult.

But Beth revealed the Lacura Hot Cloth cleanser is great and the perfect dupe for the £29.25 Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser.

Not only is the ALdi version a fraction of the price at £2.99, but it's also a constant product in stores so you don't have to worry about not getting your hands on it again.

Eyebrows

For those of us who overplucked our eyebrows back in the day and are constantly trying to draw hairs back, then this one is for you.

While Beneift may be known for its brow products, the price of its Brow Microblading Pen (£24.50) might be enough to put you off trying it.

Fortunately, Aldi has a dupe for this beauty goodie as well, and it only costs £3.49.

The money-saving mum revealed it's a perfect dupe for the Benefit 24-hr Brow Setter gel which retails for £24.50.

And if you aren't a fan of the laminated brow look, don't worry, as this is designed to groom your places and set them in place rather than glue them to your forehead.
