Lidl Cotton Wool Pads

Lidl Cotton Wool Pads

The Aldi ones are brilliant so I wanted to give the Lidl ones ago. These aren’t as good as the Aldi ones as theirs are a bit stronger and durable, and you get 2 packs for the price you’d get for the Lidl one.

The pad isn’t durable and even without any wiping, the cottons starts coming apart. I’ve found that as soon as I put a make-up remover or even water on the pad, that it starts breaking apart.

I’d recommend getting the Aldi version as you get two packs for the price of one! It’s much more durable than these ones.

  • Feel: 5/10 Not bad, but could do better.
  • Price: 6/10 42p for a pack of 140.
  • Packaging: 4/10 Comes apart pretty easily, so it’s easy for holes to be poked in the plastic wrapper, may cause sanitation issues depending on the user.
Lidl Cotton Buds

Lidl Cotton Buds

Lidl’s brand for beauty products is Cien. I usually get a pack of cotton buds in Poundland but this is much cheaper and Lidl’s other products seem to be doing good so worth a try.

The stick to these cotton buds break easily. They bend almost every time I use them. The cotton wool part comes apart easily too, not as easily as the stick but still, a bit of a hassle that I could do without.

It’s a shame this product isn’t that great, I was really hoping it would do better but alas, I must give a honest review!

I’ll stick to going to Poundland for my usual stock!

  • Feel: 4/10 Not comfortable.
  • Price: 7/10 (35p for 200 sticks)
  • Packaging: 9/10 A bother to open at first, if you aren’t holding it’s base, when you first open the lid, the entire box will fall to the floor due to the sticker making it topple on the other side. I just leave it open on my stand now.
Lidl’s Toothpaste

Lidl’s Toothpaste

First time buying toothpaste from Lidl. I didn’t think much because…well it’s Lidl but their products have been in the news lately raving how good they are so I thought might as well see how their stuff is.

This is Lidl’s brand ‘dentalux’ whitening toothpaste. They do other sorts but what I needed at the time was a whitening toothpaste. This dried my mouth out when I used it twice a day so I switched out my morning toothpaste for another branded toothpaste. This toothpaste leaves a clean feeling in my mouth, but because there’s no minty taste or smell, it doesn’t give that satisfying feeling. Still, for the price it’s cheaper than other brands. As for the whitening impact; this products works, but it’s results are slow. Maybe it’s because I’m using it only once a day instead of twice so your results may differ to mine. I’ll keep buying this, but as it’s absence of the minty feel makes my mouth feel tacky later in the day, I won’t use it twice a day.

  • Taste/Smell/Feel: 5/10 Not bad…but not as great as it could be either.
  • Price: 59p for 125ml’s. It’s okay for it’s worth.
  • Packaging: This toothpaste comes in a twist-off cap at the base. I’d prefer a pop-up lid for pure laziness but it’s not something that makes the product difficult to use. The product also stays upright even when the paste is getting empty which is good use of the packaging in my opinion!

Would I buy again? I don’t shop at Lidl often but when I do go I’d buy a few again. Maybe test out their other toothpaste range!
