Aldi drops 'divine' new lip balms similar to iconic £23 brand for under £4
Aldi's latest Lacura beauty buy has already been crowned the standout of its latest summer line-up. It's very rare that a new Aldi beauty buy goes unnoticed. Not only do they offer high quality on a budget, but they often mimic high-end brands. With lip balms being a viral summer must-have at the moment, it should come as no surprise that the budget supermarket has jumped on the latest beauty trend with a trio that is similar to an iconic brand - but at over £19 cheaper. The German discounter's newly launched Lacura Lip Butter Balms, priced at £3.49 each, are said to boast a "buttery smooth" and "nourishing" formula, with three flavours available to choose from - Cake Pop, Dulce De Leche and Vanilla. Boasting a high-shine formula, they have been infused with a blend of hydrating ingredients Shea Butter & Murumuru Seed Butter for a softer, smoother looking pout. Even though they are a recent addition, they have already bowled over the supermarket's newly created Beauty Club, a panel of shoppers turned beauty insiders, who crowned the balms the standout product from the new summer line. To entice beauty fans even more, many have confirmed that they are borderline identical to the iconic Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balms that cost £23, making Aldi's 'dupe' £19.50 less expensive. It's not the only beauty trend Aldi has jumped on recently, as it also dipped its toes into K-beauty with its brand new £4.99 Watermelon Serums that are 84 percent cheaper than beloved brand Glow Recipe. For the beauty buffs who want to get that contoured appearance, there is also the brand new Lacura Sculpting Bronzing Stick, £4.49, that is available in shades 'light' and 'medium' offering a creamy texture that "blends like an absolute dream." However, it's the lip saviours that seem to have caught the eye of many devoted fans, as many of them said they were "obsessed" and "need them all" after they were shared on Aldi's Instagram account. The full caption read: "Safe to say we're OBSESSED. Will you be picking up Vanilla, Cake Pop or Dulce De Leche? Lacura Lip Balm £3.49 in store now!" As is the case with all Lacura Specialbuys, they were instantly popular as one shopper gushed: "Got all 3 today! Love an Aldi dupe." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Eating Around Buenos Aires
The vibrant food of this city hardly needs an introduction. The first time I went, 25 years ago, I was stunned by the fact restaurants would deliver a single empanada. That much, thankfully, hasn't changed. I heard from my very charming food tour guide at Sherpa Tours that she often orders two kilos of gelato when at home and hungry on a night in. Dulce de Leche is beloved in Buenos Aires. getty Dining doesn't get a lot more fun than it can be in the back streets—and broad boulevards—of Buenos Aires. A couple of things set this magnificent city apart from other destinations and they include a remarkable history of immigration, mostly from Spanish and Italian settlers. It has also included numerous Armenians and Jews from a number of culinarily interesting countries; access to incredible grass-fed beef; a fascination with ice cream and dulce de leche-based desserts. Argentine food is very meat-forward, although more vegetarians are emerging in this country. The natives also love to put cheese on everything. That, oddly, includes cream cheese which was even given to us on the national airlines on the flight down. The seminal dishes are almost always empanadas to start, as a snack or a meal or culinary introduction to the country. I found a smaller range of flavors this trip than previously: it was mostly meat, ham and cream and the odd Caprese which is mozzarella and tomato in an empanada casing. Steaks are always divine: ask for medium rare if you want it as the Argentines tend to overlook their steaks (based on previous concerns with food safety). Matambre is thinly cut slice of beef and Milanesa is a classic Austrian Schnitzel. It can be made of veal, beef or chicken. Add tomato sauce, cheese and ham and call it a Napolitana while you are down here. It is delicious but not ideal for everyday consumption. I took my first food tour in Tbilisi Georgia with Culinary Backstreets. It was actually a fun introduction to seminal dishes from the country and let me spend time with an interesting woman and get to know her country better through our discussions. I did another one in Buenos Aires, with a young lady named Lucy, and it was also a good introduction to classic dishes here. We started out with pizza, did down some steaks and ended up with with gelato. The whole tour took place in Palmero, a trendy area in the center of Buenos Aires. This area is a great place to wander and eat, as are the equally trendy 'hoods of San Telmo and Recoleta. San Telmo is as famous for its Sunday, meat-heavy brunches as it is for its antiques flea market. As the neighborhood has gotten trendier the shopping has become less interesting. However, I really enjoyed a simple meal at Cafe Rivas on a quiet corner. The burger is a stunner at the Four Seasons. Liza B. Zimmerman Recoleta is a hotbed of fancy hotels, great restaurants and the cemetery where Evita Peron is buried to top it off. The Four Seasons Buenos Aires Hotel here has a lovely bar space and a sun-filled dining room restaurant that goes by the name of Elena. Major cuts of meat are always in play here (and sometimes you can get the great burger from the bar). The sommeliers also know their way around an unusual glass or wine or two. Because Argentina has many fewer laws about how food and wine can be sold so the country is home to many lovely Puerta Cerradas, or 'closed doors,' which is a restaurant that is operated in someone's home. It is a chance for local chefs and sommeliers to share their visions on local food and open their spaces to guests. Santiago at Casa Coupage. Casa Coupage One of the more interesting ones I went to was Casa Coupage, owned by Santiago Mymicopulo and his partner Inés Mendieta. Their beautiful bi-level home is hidden on a backstreet in Palermo. The couple focuses on modern Argentine cuisine and unusual Argentine wines such as older vintages and blends. Mymicopulo likes to taste them blind, which is always humbling. It is easy to go crazy eating the potentially best steak in the world down here. Two of the more notable, and expensive, options are Fogón Assado and the Palermo in the Faena Hotel, in the eponymous hotel that also exists in Miami. Both serve over-the-top steak-a-ramas with multiple cuts of meat and local wines. Either would be a fitting beginning or end of a trip.
