Review: Aldi's Lacura 6-step Smokey eye kit

The advertisement & the one i bought

I was walking through Aldi the other day with my mom and i noticed they were advertising a lot of stuff over at their makeup section. Normally, i walk past this section without thinking twice ( I tend to buy my stuff from other brands), but this time i decided to stop and look.

In it, i found a Lacura 6-Step Smokey eye kit for $6.99 and i just thought i'd give it a go. I bought the palette with the beige/natural colours because they didn't have any black in stock, but i suppose it's generally the same idea. It was really simple to use, even having labelled the different eyeshadow colors in t
he order you're supposed to use them (according to the diagram, anyway). It included a small mirror inside the set, but it is really tiny so i ended up using my own instead.

The diagram in the box (this one's actually from the advertisement, but I couldn't get the original as it was waayy too small)

The eyeshadows were fairly easy to use, so by the time i got to the final two steps (liquid eyeliner and mascara) i was really happy with the result. I also really liked the eyeliner as it has a good brush which was easy to use without being messy, and the mascara didn't clump, which was another plus.

Overall, i think this palette is very good, considering the price it sells at, and would especially help out beginners who need a little guidance. The only downside to this was that the natural colours don't have the same "smokey" eye effect as using black eyeshadow would, but it's a very nice look for a casual day out.

What do you think? Has anyone else tried this? Tell me below!
