Aldi fans are racing to get their hands on a product that will make you smell like rich cocoa & it’s under a quid too

BEAUTY fans are going wild over a new bargain buy that makes your skin smell like lush cocoa - and it's less than a pound.

Mum Natalie Dawson praised a lotion she had nabbed from the discount retailer Aldi, claiming it's a double for a cult favourite.

The skincare product, Cocoa Glow body lotion by Lacura, sells for a mere 95p and is thought to be a similar copy to Cocoa Radiant by Vaseline.

Unlike the popular drugstore version, which typically scans for around £3 at Boots and Superdrug, Lacura's lotion is more affordable.

Raving about the find, Natalie said she wasn't able to tell the difference between the 'real' deal and the dupe.

''95p and smells and makes you feel just as good as the original one, alot cheaper to [sic]!'' the money-saving shopper wrote in .

According to the packaging, the lotion provides 24 hours of moisturisation and has been formulated with cocoa butter for extra benefits.

The Cocoa Glow product ''restores dry skin for a natural glow'', the brown bottle stated.

Natalie's post soon racked up hundreds of likes on Facebook, where it was shared on the popular .

A fellow fan of the retailer also had nothing but positive words to say, writing: ''I got this and the aloe Vera one, that one will be perfect as after sun!''

''Brought this yesterday I agree,'' another was also raving.

''Had this for ages it smells amazing really thick as well,'' a beauty fanatic wrote.

''It's now better than the vaseline as vaseline has obviously changed the ingredients and now smells like cheap chocolate so bought a load from aldi,'' someone else agreed.

''The tesco one is £1 and great too, they also do an aloe one,'' a member of the group shared an alternative.

Whilst shopping at Aldi, make sure to also nab their ‘'absolutely beautiful'’ Kenzo Flowers dupe that’s just £6.99.

One savvy shopper and perfume fan, Natalie Heather Adams, proudly took to Facebook yesterday to show off her cheap buy, leaving many stunned. 

Posting in the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, which has 2.2million members, bargain hunter Natalie shared a picture of her brilliant buy - an Aldi perfume that she claimed is exactly the same as the designer version from Kenzo. 

Natalie, who actually works in Aldi, posted a picture of her new perfume and said: “If anybody is a fan of “Kenzo Flowers” get yourself to Aldi.

“This is £6.99, it’s the exact same.

“Absolutely beautiful.”

The perfume Natalie is raving about is from Aldi’s Hotel Collection range.

It is No. 39 and is in the scent Poppy & Barley.

Not only is the Aldi scent just £6.99 for an 100ml bottle, but it’s also £70.01 cheaper than the Kenzo version. 

But you’ll need to be quick if you want to nab this dupe, as Facebook users were clearly left open-mouthed at Natalie’s post.

Just 10 hours after it was posted it had already amassed 322 likes and 187 comments. 

Many social media users revealed they were eager to get this perfume and others who had nabbed it explained they were very impressed with it. 

One person said: “I use this perfume, it's so lovely and I’m always asked what scent I have on.” 

Another added: “Kenzo flowers is my favourite. Will have to look out for this.” 

A third commented: “I brought some it smells amazing.” 

Whilst someone else noted: “I've got this, it's gorgeous.”

However, not everyone agreed with Natalie that it was a dupe for the Kenzo scent.

One beauty fan claimed: “I love Kenzo Flowers but this absolutely reeks and gives me a headache. Plus it's a Jo Malone dupe.”

Another chimed in: “I don’t think it smells like Kenzo Flower at all? I like it though but it’s a dupe of Jo Malone.”

A third agreed: “I have Kenzo flower and this Aldi perfume, and they don't smell the same at all.” 

Meanwhile Natalie later explained: “You will not be disappointed, the smell lasts forever.
