With six out of 10 in the lab test, it made some increase to the skin hydration, and while most said it hydrated instantly, not everyone said that the effects were long-lasting. So, next time you are whizzing round the supermarket, linger in the toiletries aisle a little longer and you may well be pleasantly surprised! It comes from the seeds of African Shea or Karite Trees and used as a magic moisturizer and emollient. The lightweight lotion soaks in easily and contains Aloe Vera, Vitamin E and Almond Oil as well as glycerin to hydrate the complexion. Lidl claims it's a "must-have" for those seeking "hydrated, plump, and glowing skin on a budget" and it's previously proved so popular that it sold out.

Another day, another reason to take a trip to your local supermarket – and not just because Cadbury’s Mini Eggs are already on sale.ALCOHOL, *******, AQUA, BENZOIC ACID, BENZYL ALCOHOL, *******, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, CERA ALBA, *******, CETEARYL GLUCOSIDE, CETYL ALCOHOL, CI 15985, *******, CITRIC ACID, DEHYDROACETIC ACID, DIETHYLHEXYL ADIPATE, GLYCERIN, GLYCERYL STEARATE, GLYCERYL STEARATE CITRATE, GLYCINE SOJA OIL, *******, HONEY EXTRACT, LECITHIN, LIMONENE, LINALOOL, *******, PARFUM, *******, PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS OIL, SCLEROTIUM GUM, SODIUM BENZOATE, SODIUM CETEARYL SULFATE, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, SOY ISOFLAVONES, ******* (*).

It might sound high tech and scientific, but you don’t need to spend a fortune to see the skincare results for yourself. Because of all the hype surrounding these creams and all the publicity (TV ads and a feature page in Lidl’s weekly offer leaflet with the prerequisite celebrity photo to have more impact), I have decided to set myself another beauty challenge.

The gorgeous cream feels glamorous and luxurious to use, especially with its swanky rose-gold embossed packaging.
