Aldi might not be your first thought for a beauty 'essential' item, however, shoppers are hailing a 29p item being sold by the supermarket as a 'next level' product. What's more, some beauty fans are so impressed with the item - a brow pencil - that they are saying it could rival high end brands, which cost considerably more.
A Tik Tok user who says she is a makeup artist was so impressed that she says she bought 24 of them, according to a report in Manchester Evening News. Taking to Tik Tok to share her find, she captioning a video: "29p Makeup at Aldi is next level." She added: "The quality and creaminess are next level!!!"
In the video she explained: “Girls, you need to run to Aldi. These brow pencils are 29p each. I swatched them in the shop and they are so creamy. You can still see them on my hand."

She continued, talking about some of the other products she'd found in the range: "“The concealers are about £3/£4, but they are so beautiful - I got the Salmon and the bright yellow one. The eyeliner and the felt-tip liner are also 29p each - they are so creamy and are such good quality”. The make-up artist added that she was so impressed with Aldi's beauty offering that she bought everything on display.
The eyebrow pencils have racked up plenty of five-star reviews from impressed beauty fans on the Aldi website. One five-star reviewer wrote: "I’ve tried so many different eyebrow products and this is amazing, I hope ALDI do a permanent makeup range. Only thing I’d say is the dark is very dark I have almost black hair and I use the medium shade."
Another said: "Excellent product I only use it occasionally as can’t get the product in store all the time. Wish they would keep all the Lacura products as they are so good. Also to keep them on one shelves. The liner doesn’t smudge, goes on smoothly. Would recommend the all their products."
A third person raved: "The best brow pencil I have used, I have tried several other “high end” brands and nothing compares to this one." with another adding: "Good value and a shame it's not always available. As it is such a good product I have to buy a stock to keep my eyebrows looking good and then able to buy more".
The eyebrow pencils are currently out of stock on the Aldi website. However, other items in the range are available such as Lacura Volume effect Mascara at £2.99, BB Cream at £2.99 and Take Cover Concealer at £3.99. If you're lucky, you may be able to find them in your local Aldi supermarket across Nottinghamshire and the city.
