I use to use these regularly, but Aldi stopped doing them. They are now back in at £3.59. I stocked up and bought 3. Nothing I have ever used has come close to covering up the dark circles under my eyes.

When they stopped doing them I emailed Aldi and they said they would be launching them again but it would only be on 'specials' so yes stock up. They also had some nice nail varnish for £1.49 in a lovely red colour. They suppose to have lipsticks too, but ours didn't have any at all, not even advertised.

Thanks for this. I was wanting to try to TE but they're so expensive. Seems these have decent reviews at a fraction of the cost!
Thanks for the heads up! Love this product ... Really don't understand why they stopped stocking it?

Wahey! I loved this. Used my last one (the older Lacura silver/metallic pen concealer) a few months ago and was really miffed they stopped selling it. Maybe a few people feel the same and have let Aldi know?

I agree that it is comparable to Touche Eclat, as I used to buy it (but have since tightened the purse strings).
A good alternative for me was the Leichner Highlighting Luminous Touch pen, which was on hereforapound.com (now poundshop.com) a while. A few cheap makeup retailers sell it: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/OTc2WDEyMTA=/z/brAAAMXQVT9S-j7Z/$_58.JPG Have a few left but will revert back to the Lacura soon.

Thanks OP. I must give this a try! Those who have tried it before, are they easy to blend with your skin tone as there are three colours.

Found a picture of the Lacura Cashmere shade next to YSL Touche Eclat. I always bought Savannah (very pale skinned), but I found Cashmere was fine on me too.
Amber is a new shade, don't remember that one. I assume it's the dark/tan shade below (all three together):

Not tried this before, does anyone know if the amber darker shade is slightly orange as some are?

Are these any better than the stick eye concealer. I suffer from bad dark circles so I need to try something

I have really bad dark circles and since Aldi stopped stocking them I have tried cheap £1 ones, Clinique, No7 and Soap and Glory as well as YSL. Imho this one beats it hands down. I am very pale and use the lightest shade.

Am beyond jealous,have dark circles but don't have Aldi in Northern Ireland. :0((((

Hopefully Aldi will stock these permanently again (if I remember right, the concealer pen used to appear as a Specialbuy originally).
Megaone, I bet these crop up on ebay before long, sounds like people have been looking for them. I went round a few Aldis a few months ago asking if they had any left, and why were they no longer selling it? (Bit sad, I know). My sis always bought this too and I've let her know :smiley:

Hi does anyone know which colour is the nearest one to the number one shade of touche eclat please?

Between Savannah and Cashmere (the palest shades, the original two shades that were available) one is pink toned (Cashmere) and the other is more yellow toned (like Touche Eclat), so I would say Savannah.
Not sure why the blogger's picture I added compared the YSL (shade 1.5) and Lacura Cashmere shade, as they're not at all alike.
Edit: Actually, found a blog with a swatch of YSL Touche Eclat, Lacura Concealer Pen (Savannah) and Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer (Light):
"The Lacura concealer is more matte than Touche Eclat and feels heavier. It’s not as heavy as Lasting Perfection."
The newer packaging is like this:

Wow, that's the "older" version of the Lacura concealer (the silver pen)..so they DID have it in three shades (Amber). I stand corrected :smiley: I only ever saw Savannah and Cashmere in stock, though that could just be my cloudy brain :smiley:

People sell aldi stuff on ebay? Bought the concealer to try. Cashmere shade is slightly pinky rather than yellow and says suitable for rosy complexion. Great price.

Can see it for Buy It Now £12.99 + £2.95 postage on ebay at the moment! Bit cheeky! You may as well buy the "real thing"!

Looks like I won't be getting the Lacura for a while, I've just stocked up on these from poundshop.com (formerly hereforapound.com).
Don't mean to hijack, just thought it may help those who can't get to Aldi.

Off topic I know, but have they stopped stocking the 2 in 1 washing powder??
