I’m a beauty fan and tested out Aldi’s dupe of Kylie Jenner’s lip kit – here are my first impressions
ANY makeup or skincare fan will know just how hard it is to get their hands on the sell-out beauty dupes from Aldi.
And Aldi’s latest makeup release sending beauty fans into a frenzy is the Lacura Lip Kit, which is a dupe of Kylie Jenner’s lip kit that usually sells for £29.
But is the in-demand product, which contains both a matte liquid lipstick and a matching lip liner, really worth the hype?
A beauty fan named Maria, who regularly shares her beauty tips and tricks for women aged 40+ online, decided to put the £4.49 product to the test.
In a clip posted to TikTok (@_nospringchicken), she can be seen applying the products in shade Velvet Sugar.
“I’m going to go in with the pencil first and then I’ll go in with the liquid lip…this is first impressions,” she says.
After applying the lip liner, Maria enthuses: “Ooh that goes on well – there’s some amount of pigment in that!”
She continues: “Here’s the lipstick – they smell very vanilla-y.”

The beauty fan then leaves the makeup to dry for a few minutes, before discussing the final results.
“The colour’s nice, I just don’t personally like the feel of liquid lipstick so I’d put a gloss on top of this,” she says.
“If you like liquid lipsticks and you like your lipstick to stay put, it’s definitely a good option.”
Maria then dabs the lip liner and lipstick with her finger to see if any comes off.
“Not much in fairness,” she says.
The video has since gone viral, racking up over 41.1k views and several comments – with many very impressed with the Kylie Jenner lip kit dupe.
“Absolutely love it,” enthused one.
A second noted: “Yes, quite impressive.”
A third penned: “It’s exactly like the real one.”
Meanwhile, a fourth quipped: “I grabbed 5 lol.”
Another added: “I got the Just Peachy one and I’m pretty impressed.
“I love the Velvet Sugar shade might have to go back for that!”
And one more chimed in: “I bought the ‘Just Peachy’ – it’s lovely.”
However, others weren’t quite as bowled over by Aldi‘s budget replica.
“It’s so drying, I really don’t like it,” one person pointed out.
A further noted: “I found it made my lips look very crinkled.”
