Aldi launches pretty £3 plant that flowers every week until September and turns your garden into a bee-friendly paradise
ALDI is launching a blooming great bargain just in time for summer – Butterfly Lavender for only £3.79 each, in shades of purple, pink and white. Available in stores across the UK, including in places like Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham, from Thursday 12 June. Advertisement 2 Butterfly Lavender, also known as French Lavender, is loved for its frilly blooms and aromatic leaves Not only will it brighten up your garden, but it'll also fill the air with a sweet scent for months and attract buzzing bees. Butterfly Lavender, also known as French Lavender, is loved for its frilly blooms and aromatic leaves. It flowers from late spring right through summer and even into autumn if looked after properly. It will go dormant in winter, and return bigger and bushier next year if maintained properly. Advertisement Read More Aldi stories How to care for lavender To get the most out of your lavender, plant it in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Once it's settled in, it won't need much watering – in fact, it prefers to stay on the dry side. French lavender typically flowers from late spring into early autumn, with a peak bloom period between May and September. Some varieties, like Lavandula stoechas 'Papillon' and 'Tiara', are known for their continuous flowering from late spring to early autumn. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous After French lavender flowers, you should trim the spent flower stalks to encourage more blooms and keep the plant compact. Aldi is selling a cheap $4.49 item that will transform your garden into a colorful summer paradise You can also prune the plant back in late summer or early spring to rejuvenate it and prevent it from becoming woody. French lavender is a versatile herb with various culinary and creative applications. Beyond its beautiful scent and visual appeal, it can be used for baking, creating bath products, making essential oils, and even crafting home decor items like sachets or potpourri. Advertisement And Aldi's plant is a bargain! A quick check at B&Q shows similar lavender plants starting at £12. The 5 best flowers to help bees to thrive Nature experts at Faith In Nature have shared the 5 best flowers Brits can plant in their gardens to help bees thrive. Rebecca Miller, Fabulous' Associate Editor and keen gardener explains why "bees are brilliant". "They are vital. They pollinate our food and play a crucial role in our ecosystem. But climate change, the increasing use of pesticides and loss of habitat means bees are endangered. No matter how big your garden or outside space is, you can plant a flower or two to help bees." Lavender Lavender can thrive in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. It's fragrant and flowers all-summer-long meaning it's a big hit with bees - especially bumble bees. Sunflowers This cheery flower giant are bee-magnets. And if you look closely at a sunflower head, the big 'flowers' are actually a cluster of small flowers, called an inflorescence which attract pollinators. Ideally, grow sunflowers in groups to provide nectar and pollen for as many bees as possible. At the end of summer, collect the dried seeds from the sunflower heads to feed the birds or plant next year. Heather These abundant, bell-shaped blooms are brimming with nectar and pollen – which is good news for bees. Cornflowers A vivid blue wildflower, cornflowers are often planted alongside other meadow blooms, like ox-eye daisies and poppies. They grow on tall stems and are packed with nectar, making them particularly attractive to bees. Cornflowers bloom for a long time and are simple to grow, so they're perfect for first-time gardeners and experienced alike. Crocuses (and snowdrops) Later this summer, when you're starting to plan for your Spring displays, consider crocuses and snowdrops. They provide bees, such as the queen buff-tailed bumblebee and male hairy-footed flower bees, with vital early pollen as they emerge from their winter hibernation. Over at Waitrose Garden and Hillier, prices range from £7.99 to £13.99, depending on the size and variety. This is the latest in a string of green-fingered savings from ALDI. Earlier this month, rival Lidl launched a range of garden plants starting from just £1.99, undercutting pricier garden centres and online sellers.

I tested Aldi's 7 new beauty buys all for under £5 – a cult Charlotte Tilbury dupe is back but the blusher was my fave
AFFORDABLE beauty products have a special place in my heart. While I love testing luxury launches, there's nothing more satisfying than finding a gem for less than a tenner. Advertisement This year, more budget products than ever before have impressed me by far out-performing their price tags. When But to my surprise, a few days later I realised I'd reached for it before every meeting that week to look more polished, and the colour had stayed put all day. It's not patchy or sticky, and the slimline nib means I can trace my lip line, then tilt the pen on its side to fill in the bulk of my lips. Advertisement Read More Hair & Beauty 10 The brand new Lacura Watermelon Serum promises to brighten skin Credit: Aldi Similary, I bought The original version is my favourite budget concealer – even though I hate the sponge applicator, the formula and coverage is unrivalled. The light-pink hue is perfect for my blue-toned shadows and it applies smoothly. Advertisement The sponge (for all its unhygienic flaws) helps control how much product is applied so you don't overload the delicate under-eye area. Most read in Fabulous Exclusive Plus, it layers well with my concealer, and makes my under-eyes look far less tired. 10 Aldi Luminous Filter is a returning fan favourite Credit: Aldi They're just a couple of the affordable beauty products to have made it into my regular rotation over the last six months, and I'm always on the hunt for more. Advertisement So, when I heard Aldi were launching not one, but seven new beauty dupe products this week - all under £5 - I had to put them to the test. Here's how I got on. .. 10 Tara preferred the tinted Dulce de Leche shade of Lacura's Lip Balms LACURA LIP BALMS, £3.49 It only takes one look at these new balms to guess who Aldi used as inspo. Advertisement Drum roll please... it has to be Summer Fridays. The tasty flavours are right out of the viral brands playbook - although Aldi's are £19.50 cheaper - and sure to be a hit with those who love sweet treats. Having tried all three, the 90s brown Dulce De Leche variety is my favourite, because of the pout perfecting sheer tint it delivers. On application, all three of the shades melted across my lips quickly, so didn't take any blending out, and felt buttery soft, with a gloss that isn't sticky or greasy. Advertisement Aldi promise the formula is packed with Shea Butter and Murumuru Seed Butter to deeply hydrate and soothe lips - although I found they wore off quickly, and left my lips feeling tight and dry. 10 Lacura's bronzing stick is surprisingly long-wearing LACURA SCULPTING BRONZING STICK, £4.49 When I first opener the Sculpting Bronzing sticks, I was worried. There's very little variation between the two shades, and they're both very warm hued - bordering on orange. Advertisement On skin, they're very pigmented, and you have to work quickly to avoid them going patchy. After some trial and error, I found using my fingers - rather than a brush or sponge - worked best, as the warmth helped melt the product into my skin. I'm extremely pale, so they're both too dark for me, but if you aren't paper-white, you'll have better luck. The formula layers well over foundation, and once it's set, it doesn't budge, which will be great for hot summer weather. Advertisement I swatched both sticks on the back of my arm to work out which shade I should apply to my face, and despite removing both within a couple of minutes, they left a stain that withstood a bath and a shower! 10 Lacura's new watermelon brightening and bronzing serums were hit and miss LACURA WATERMELON BRIGHTENING AND BRONZING SERUMS, £4.99 EACH I'm a huge fan of Niacinamide is one of my favourite skincare ingredients - thanks to it's ability to reduce inflammation and redness, balance oil control and soothe skin - and both brand's hero it in their formulations. Advertisement In fact, the first five ingredients are exactly the same across the two, so on paper you'd expect them to be similar. Unfortunately, that's not the case. 10 Tara put Aldi's new beauty products to the test The bronzing serum is extremely glittery, and very orange, giving me flash-backs to the Geordie Shore style fake tan of my teens. Advertisement Thankfully, the untinted version was much better. It has a thick serum formula, that instantly cools the skin soothing any irritation. I used it for a few days, and my skin felt softer and more plump - although it does have a strong watermelon scent, so that's something to note if you struggle with fragranced products. 10 Tara couldn't find an occasion to use Lacura's shimmer face spray Advertisement LACURA SHIMMER HYDRATING FACIAL MIST, £4.49 When this landed on my desk, I immediately question when I'd ever have an occasion to wear it. If you haven't already worked it out - I'm really not a fan of glittery products on my face. My skin is oily enough as it is, and I don't think the vampire look is very in. Formulated with antioxidant ingredients including Vitamin E, Chamomile, and Green Tea, the formula definitely leaves skin brighter and feeling refreshed. Advertisement It took a few minutes to dry down, during which time the glitter transferred to everything I touched. I can't get past the school-disco levels of shimmer, but if that's your thing, you'll love the face mist! 10 If you buy one thing from Aldi's new beauty drop, make it the blusher LACURA BLUSH, £3.99 As far as I'm concerned, blush is the most underrated make-up product. Advertisement So many people worry about where to apply it, or going to far and looking like a clown - but get it right, and it's the quickest way to add life to your face and revive your complexion. There's two shades of blush; coral - which has a peachy orange hue and candy, that's more pink in colour. Again, they're both extremely glittery - I'd love to meet the Aldi boss who's obsessed with the stuff! Supposedly, they're dupes of the iconic Nars Orgasm blusher - and while the packaging certainly looks similar, the OG formulas are not nearly as shimmery. Advertisement Thankfully, after a few uses the glitter isn't quite so prominent - in future , I'd scrape the top layer of product off to get rid of it rather than apply it to my face. The blush has the perfect level of pigment, so you only need to dip your brush in once for enough pay off, but not too much that you risk over-doing it. You'd be hard pressed to find a better blusher for the price. 10 Lacura's illuminating base wasn't as pigmented as Tara expected Advertisement LACURA LUMINOUS FILTER FOUNDATION, £4.99 Last time this was on shelves, shoppers went wild - calling it a dead ringer for I'd not tried it before, so I had high hopes. The product description claims it 'creates a flawless base and blurs imperfections' which sounds right up my street. The consistency is thinner than I expected, so I have to wear foundation on top to get enough coverage - which means I then loose out on the glow. Advertisement As you can guess, it's also more sparkly than the £39 version, although I went in expecting as much so I wasn't too offended. Having experimented with it a few times now, it works best if you mix it with your foundation, or use your fingers to apply to the high points of your face rather than as an all-over primer. If you want a Flawless Filter dupe that's more like the real deal, I prefer 10 Tara wasn't a fan of Lacura's microblade effect brow pen Advertisement LACURA MICROBLADE EFFECT PEN, £3.49 Tiktok goes wild for micro-blade effect brow pens, but in all honesty, I've never quite understood the hype. This one has three distinct tips, which do help to create hair like strokes, but the ink formula quickly spread into the fine lines and texture of my skin - so the definition quickly disappeared. With this kind of formula, it's really hard to control the pigment load you apply to skin, so you can quickly end up with brows that're far too dark. If you want to try the trend, £3.49 isn't too much of a risk, but be warned it'll take a lot of patience to get right! Advertisement Wine expert shares her view on Aldi's Whispering Angel dupe WINE culturist Amelia Singer hails 'The Chassaux et Fils Rosé' as a "really savvy move from Aldi". Here, she gives Fabulous her verdict... Sainte Victoire is my favourite part of Provence to find personality filled yet great value Rosé. Thanks to the altitude of the Sainte Victoire hillsides, the grapes get exposed to plenty of sunshine during the day but their ripeness is moderated by cooler evening temperatures. This enables the wine to brim with intense, complex fruit which is balanced by elegant acidity and herbal finesse. I am delighted that Aldi are highlighting an actual area of Provence as quality and flavour profiles can vary greatly – however I always know with Rosé from Sainte Victoire that I will not be disappointed.
