How to bag free Aldi skincare and makeup before it hits the shelves
Aldi's Lacura range is known for flying off the shelves thanks to the viral dupes being so popular - but now beauty buffs have the chance to try the products before they're launched
Aldi fans now have the chance to get their hands on viral Aldi products before they hit the shelves. Aldi is renowned for it's popular and impressive range of skincare, makeup and bodycare as part of the Lacura brand.
Many of the products, which are easily recognisable as affordable dupes of high end products, frequently go viral online which can make it hard to grab in store due to selling out quickly. But now shoppers can have early access to the best bits, thanks to Aldi's cult Beauty Club.
Shoppers will get the chance to trial products ahead of launches, as Aldi is hand picking ten cosmetic connoisseurs to become part of its exclusive panel of members and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of its popular Lacura range.
Offering an opportunity to become an Instagram or TikTok insider and influence the next generation of beauty buys, selected members of the 2025 panel will receive products from the supermarket's upcoming Summer Beauty range - before its full launch on June 5.
The range will conclude a collection of makeup must-haves, skincare essentials and glow-boosting Specialbuys. However, Aldi needs its panellists to use their expertise to review products, identify emerging trends and provide valuable feedback that will shape Aldi's beauty buy decisions for 2026.
It's the perfect role for any beauty lover who wants to get ahead of the frenzy when they launch in stores, but they will have to be quick as entries close on May 20. Applicants need to send an email explaining why they think they should be chosen for the role, as well as outlining what their favourite Lacura product is and why, to the email address beautyclub@aldi.co.uk.
Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: "Our customers are at the heart of everything we do – and the Beauty Club is a direct way to listen, learn, and innovate. By working with passionate beauty enthusiasts, we're able to create high-performing, trend-led products that still deliver amazing value. That's what makes Lacura stand out."

BGT star looks VERY different in racy new role 13 years after finding fame on show and splitting from partner
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A POPULAR Britain's Got Talent star looks VERY different in her new racy new role. It has been 13-years since this performer found fame as part of a singing duo on BGT, and is now a West End star after splitting from her partner. 7 The singer shot to fame on BGT when she was just a teenager thanks to her incredible singing voice Credit: charlottejaconelli/Instagram 7 Today, now 29, the star in question is a big West End star Credit: charlottejaconelli/Instagram 7 This singer has announced her new racy role Credit: charlottejaconelli/Instagram 7 Did you guess the singer was Charlotte Jaconelli, formerly of BGT duo, Jonathan and Charlotte? Credit: Handout The star in question is Charlotte Jaconelli. The singer, now 29, was just 16 years old when she auditioned for Simon Cowell as one half of singing duo Jonathan and Charlotte, alongside her friend Jonathan Antoine. The singing pair won over the judges with their rendition of Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion's duet The Prayer in their audition, and made it to the finals. They eventually finished as runners up on the 2012 series, narrowly losing out on the win to Ashleigh Butler and her dog Pudsey. Charlotte said at the time: "Oh my God, we came second. It's incredible." Today, the performer looks a world away from her BGT days - and is now a megastar on London's West End. In fact, she has revealed her next racy role which sees her transformed into a sex siren. Announcing her big news, Charlotte shared a VERY sexy snap of herself in costume, as she gets ready to star in Burlesque The Musical. The star shared some behind-the-scenes snaps, which included her in an eyepopping leotard which she almost spilling out of. Her sexy look was completed with a pair of black tights. Announcing her exciting news, Charlotte told her fans: "IT'S BURLESQUE! Meet Queenie - My theatre fairy god mother @todrick keeping me busy and singing notes as high as my heels. "See you at The Savoy this summer to bring the iconic @burlesquethemusicaluk to the main stage. "Hold your hats for the genius of @stevenantin & Miss Hall…it's gonna be FABULOUS." LIFE AFTER BGT After making a huge impression on BGT viewers, Jonathan and Charlotte, who first met when they were 11 years old at school, went on a UK arena tour. 7 Charlotte is part of the sexy show, Burlesque The Musical Credit: burlesquethemusicaluk/Instagram 7 Jonathan and Charlotte parted ways after BGT Credit: Handout 7 Charlotte has enjoyed a successful theatre career Credit: Instagram The singing duo then recorded their first album, Together, in 2012 for Simon Cowell's label Syco. Their second album, Perhaps Love, was released a year later in October 2013. However, the pair went their separate ways in 2014 after they were both offered solo record deals by Sony Deals. But despite starting their journey together, Jonathan previously admitted that the duo were no longer as close. Asked by ITV's Lorraine if they were "still pals" in 2017, he admitted: "We don't really get to speak very often but that's the nature of it. "You don't really get the time to speak to your friends, my family comes everywhere with me and they're my longevity." BECOMING A WEST END STAR After going solo, Charlotte headed for the bright lights of the West End, and has since become a successful theatre star. She made her debut in 2018 as part of the original cast of The Boy in the Dress. Since then, Charlotte has appeared in Heathers: The Musical, and Sunset Boulevard alongside Nicole Scherzinger.

Shirley Ballas gets tattoo in honour of late brother who died by suicide
Strictly Come Dancing star Shirley Ballas has taken part in a tattoo charity fundraiser to help raise money and awareness for the anti-suicide charity CALM Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas has got a tattoo in honour of her late brother - and to raise funds for a mental health charity. The 64-year-old TV star was left devastated in 2003 when her brother, David, took his own life at the age of 44. Shirley has discussed her love for her brother and her sadness over her loss in the past - as well as highlighting the fact that he struggled with depression in order to help others find the help they need. On Saturday, the dance expert got a tattoo of her late brother's first and second initials as well as his last name, Rich. Taking to Instagram, Shirley posed alongside tattooist Tal Booker, 31, the brother of Love Island star Eyal Booker, 29, and showed off her new inking. She wrote alongside the post: "A tattoo for my brother… thank you @talbooker honoured to be tattoo number 2 of 24 in your @calmzone #TattooAThon." Shirley previously discussed her loss on the Great Company podcast, revealing her family battled to have her brother get help before his tragic suicide. She said: "I was wrapped up in my life, because at that time, I had two other children I was taking care of, plus my own son, and they were all dancers, and I was just wrapped up in my world of ballroom dancing. "I was in London. He was up north, and my mother went to stay with him for six weeks. But my mother's old school, and they don't share. So, what I should have done then, if I look back now, is gotten the car straight away and gone to see the situation for myself. He was just in a bad place. "He explained it like being in a dark, black hole that he couldn't climb out of. He'd lost a lot of weight, and the doctors couldn't help him. "We tried to get him sectioned, and when, apparently, I wasn't there, but my mum was. When they took him in the car and they pulled up to the hospital, he recognized somebody that was stood on the steps, and he was too he was the macho man on the housing estate, and he was too embarrassed, he made them turn the car around. "So had she not been there that day, then maybe things could have been different. And it just nobody talked about things like that. No one talked about things like that at all, and they just popped in with pills, you know, like these antidepressants." And expressing her sadness over David's death, she said: "'I still remember the morning it happened. I call my mum to say that Mark, my son, would be performing at St Paul's church in London, and maybe they both like to come down for the day. "And my brother said, no, no, no, no, I'm feeling much better now. But you go mum, and against her better judgment, she didn't want to go. And I pushed her to go a little bit because she'd been there, you know, and was having this tough time. David didn't want to go, and it was that they chose to do that. "So, for that, I will live with for the rest of my life. She blames herself, but I blame myself because I was the one pushing her to go. She felt she shouldn't have left." Meanwhile, Tal has set out to raise funds for the anti-suicide charity CALM where he has planned to tattoo 24 designs within 24 hours. He explained via Instagram previously: "The most likely thing to kill a young person is themselves, and around 18 people day in the UK die by suicide. One of the ways we can change that, is by talking about it. "That's why I've teamed up with @calmzone to do a 24 hour tattoo-a-thon on the 7th and 8th June. To raise vital funds and start important conversations. "If you'd like to get involved or show your support, head over to to register your interest or donate at the link in my bio. Just £12.20 is enough to fund one potentially life saving call."
