Lacura Snapshot Ready Foundation Primer 30ml

Product Information

Also, works well to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and give skin a plump look (of course that is only temporary, but still, it's nice). The supermarket's Lacura Snapshot Ready Glow Primer is said to be an exact 'dupe' for the iconic Photo Finish Primer from Smashbox, which has become something of a holy grail product for beauty enthusiasts.

According to famous dermatologist, Leslie Baumann while tocopheryl acetate is more stable and has a longer shelf life, it’s also more poorly absorbed by the skin and may not have the same awesome photoprotective effects as pure Vit E. Lacura has taken the beauty world by storm thanks to its many affordable and impressive dupes of high end, luxurious products.They contain the majority of the skin goodies that - similar to green tea - are mostly polyphenols (but not the same ones as in tea). As you might guess from the “pro” part, it’s a precursor to vitamin B5 (whose fancy name is pantothenic acid). What seems to be a true difference, though, is that the salt form is more stable, easier to formulate and cheaper so it pops up more often on the ingredient lists.

The TL; DR version of HA is that it's a huge polymer (big molecule from repeated subunits) found in the skin that acts as a sponge helping the skin to hold onto water, being plump and elastic. As for skincare, it makes the skin silky smooth, creates a subtle gloss and forms a protective barrier (aka occlusive). But, if you’ve been wanting to up your make-up and skincare game without breaking the bank, we may just have the answer and it’s in an unlikely place – Aldi.The vitamin E is listed as tocopheryl acetate and is commonly used in skin care as a skin-conditioning agent and antioxidant. A vegetable-based emulsifier that helps the oily and watery parts of the formula to mix nicely together. The back of the tube also states that this is a clear formula that helps to create a smooth base to improve the look of foundation on the skin. The grapeseed is listed as vitis vinifera (seed) extract and the green tea is listed as camellia sinensis leaf extract. I have oily skin so usually my skin starts to get oily after 3-4 hours of wear but with the primer my foundation lasts around 5-7 hours.

We wholeheartedly support the rise of seedless grapes as fruit snacks, but when it comes to skincare, we are big fans of the seeds. So with the primer my foundation definitely lasts longer and doesn’t crease in my smile lines which it usually does. But their hot cloth cleanser is a great dupe for Liz Earle, and their fragrances are great too - like this Tom Ford inspired scent. Recently Aldi have been killing it in the game with their Lacura beauty range as they’ve came out with moisturizers, bronzers, primers, serums, masks etc.Lacura Snapshot Ready Foundation Primer is one of several primer options Aldi is selling for a limited time. Having previously been gifted the Smashbox primers to try, I can hand on heart say ALDI’s versions are every bit as good at a fraction of the cost.
