Lacura // Tropical Essence Booty Balm
RRP £4.99 for 250ml
I bought this from Aldi some time in September 2025.
First Impressions:
I have a feeling this will be a love or hate scent for people. It looks like a Bum Bum cream dupe, but it's not. The scent is unique and nothing like Cheirosa '62 (the signature Sol de Janiero scent). This is more musky and tropical. Incredibly sweet, more like a dessert. The guarana is very strong. I love it. The consistency of the product is buttery and smooth. It spreads and absorbs well without being greasy. It even leaves the scent behind on my bedding which I really enjoy. it's kind of like wearing perfume to bed. The weird part is the sparkles. It's very glittery, you can't visibly see it in the product but I wondered why my skin was shimmering in the light the next morning.
Usage
First use - Beginning November 2025
Last use - 30.12.2025
Would I buy it: If I see it in an Aldi store again, yes.
Overall Impressions:
I saw this discounted to £2.99 as they were clearing out the last of their summer stock and I impulse bought it. I'm glad I did. Sometimes I poo-poo the Aldi beauty products but this one is actually solid. It's a shame my local Aldi doesn't actually have a body moisturiser in stock all year round because this did a standup job. I can usually tell if a body moisturiser is rubbish because the skin on my hips and knees go flaky and itchy but with this everything stayed nice and moisturised. Hopefully this range comes back next year (I also saw this range for summer 2023).
