Shoppers race to Lidl to pick up ‘luxury’ dupe of £22 White Company candle for just £3.49
WITH Christmas fast approaching, most of us have already started to be on the look out for presents.
And it seems shoppers have found the perfect gift for candle lovers that’s easy on the purse strings too.
Shoppers are racing to nab Lidl’s new collection of luxury candles[/caption] They look and smell like the White Company’s according to fans[/caption]We all love a luxury candle, especially as the weather gets colder and we’re tucked up on the sofa, but the price of them can be too much to bear.
Thankfully, Lidl has come out with its own version of The White Company’s cult-classic candles just in time.
The supermarket has launched ‘The Luxury Collection’ in stores across the UK, offering high-end scents at a fraction of the cost and it has sent shoppers into a frenzy.
Those after some luxury candles for themselves or as Christmas gifts can now get them for a bargain price of just £3.49.
The White Company offers famous scents like ‘Sleep‘, a calming blend of cedarwood, sage, lavender, and chamomile, as well as ‘Winter‘, which combines the warming spices of cinnamon, orange, and clove.
Their minimalist and chic packaging means they’re on most of our wish list this year, but their £22 price point can turn savvy shoppers off.
But Lidl’s dupe seems to look like the real deal and fans are going wild to get their hands on them.
The German retailer is offering two variations of the candles in White and Black.
The White range features light, refreshing scents, such as calming Lavender, rich Pomegranate, and tropical Citrus & Herb.
For those who prefer deeper, more intense fragrances, the Black range includes woodier, heavier scents such as Mandarin & Cedarwood, Leather & Cedar, and Spiced Vanilla & Patchouli.
The Luxury Collection also includes reed diffusers for a flame-free option, as well as room sprays.
Shoppers were quick to share their excitement on the new release on social media.
One person wrote: “I really love Lidl’s scented candles. Amazing product, for a bargain.”
Another commented: “I’m down to my last scented candle from Lidl. I bought a set of 4 votives last year or the year before.”
Best beauty dupes
Fabulous' Beauty Editor, Tara Ledden revealed the cheaper version of your favourite beauty products that you should have in your cupboard.
“A huge 55% of us would like to spend less on our beauty routines according to new research from E.l.f. Cosmetics, so it’s no wonder there’s millions of #dupe videos on Tiktok.
“While some dupes are easy to spot given their look-a-like packing, they’re often lacking when it comes to the contents.
“In fact, some of the best dupes look nothing like the luxury product they’re a dead-ringer for – and, trust me, they’re the ones you want.”
REAL: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer, £32.50 DUPE: Natural Collection Bronzer, £3.50 which is a saving of £29. The Natural Collection Bronzer comes in more shades, although it doesn’t have a mirror in the compact.
REAL: Milk Make-up Hydro-Grip Primer, £35 DUPE: E.l.f. Power Grip Primer, £10. These two share a similar green hue, as well as the same long-wearing, mattifying properties – although, E.l.f’s is so popular it’s just as hard to get hold of.
REAL: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick, £28 DUPE: L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Satin Lipstick Beige A Nu, £8.99. The shades of these two lipsticks are virtually identical on the lips, although while Charlotte Tilbury’s is matte, the L’Oreal Paris Lipstick has a satin finish – which actually makes it more comfortable if you’re wearing all day.
REAL: Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation, £40 DUPE: Collection Lasting Perfection Matte Foundation, £6.99. While they don’t look alike from the outside, the formula, consistency and staying power of both foundations is pretty similar – unfortunately, the Collection only comes in 20 shades vs Estee Lauder’s 60 options.
REAL: Glossier Boy Brow, £20 DUPE: Essence Make Me Brow Gel, £2.50. There’s a whole Reddit thread dedicated to this dupe, so you know it’s got to be good. They both have a waxy consistency and added fibres to make brows look fuller. I have to say, the shade range is far better with Boy Brow, but if you’re brunette, there’s plenty of Essence shade options to try.
