Much to the delight of savvy beauty lovers, Aldi have brought back some of their best-loved cosmetics and skincare products on this Sunday’s Specialbuys. And what’s incredible is that some customers have even compared them to big name brands like Liz Earle, Pixi and Benefit.
Shoppers who try out the budget beauty alternatives from Aldi could save themselves a whopping £125.55, when compared to the expensive products that they’re said to be similar to.
Among the affordable beauty dupes are face masks, toners, cleansers, face creams and mascaras, with prices starting from £1.99, and not a single one breaking a tenner.

But those looking to revamp their cosmetics cupboard without breaking the bank need not look any further than the middle aisle of the German supermarket.
Each Sunday, the retailer adds new Specialbuys to its website, with customers able to shop from the comfort of their sofa - and these are some of the best beauty bargains to launch this week.
First up is the Lacura Pink Clay Mask, which has been compared to the £34 Sand and Sky version. At £5.99 for the Aldi facemask, you really can’t go wrong, the new formula said to ‘leave your skin looking both clearer and brighter’.
Shopper MJ26 noticed the similarities, and left a five star review on the Aldi website, which read: “I was looking for a dupe of Sand & Sky's pink clay mask because it's expensive, and this did not disappoint! It's a little thinner in consistency, which I prefer as it's easier to spread and

Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent After securing major distribution deals at the EFM, Luc Besson’s next film “Dogman” starring Caleb Landry Jones, is now eyeing a launch in the festival circuit this fall, Variety has learned. The movie’s French release, initially planned for April 19, has been pushed to the fall to allow distributors to prepare a coordinated global release after a launch at an A-category festival. It would mark the first Besson-directed movie to open at a festival in decades. His wild space opera movie “The Fifth Element” was the opening night movie of the 50th edition of the Cannes Film Festival in 1997. Besson’s first film since his 2019 actioner “Anna,” “Dogman” is rumored to mark a return to form for the French director. Based on the trailer which we saw before the Berlinale, the film will be closer to some of his early work, notably “Subway,” “Nikita” and “The Professional” which were character-driven movies with a darker edge.

Jon Burlingame It’s anybody’s game: this is a rare year when any of the five original-score nominees could win the Oscar. Two of the nominees are previous winners, two more are past nominees; only one is a newcomer, and it’s a three-man ensemble. Four films are period pieces: an admired German-language war film, a character study set against the Irish civil war, an epic of late 1920s Hollywood, and a coming-of-age story for a young filmmaker in the ‘50s and ‘60s; the fifth is a wild, anarchic tale of a Chinese American family that saves the universe. And the nominees are:
