The Sweet Maple body wash is dermatologically tested, and contains over 90 per cent naturally sourced ingredients, making it a great eco-friendly option for sustainable shoppers. 

Additionally, Lacura fans will be pleased to hear of the return of Aldi's bestselling Sweet Angel Body Wash, also available from November 14.

The body wash - which offers a delightful blend of strawberry extract and nourishing moisturisers - bears a striking resemblance to Lush's bestselling Snow Fairy range. 

The cosmetic giant's Snow Fairy range features candy-cane scented products, with a 275g bottle of Snow Fairy shower gel retailing for £15, while a 520g bottle goes for as much as £23. 

However, Lush fans have been flocking Aldi to experience the creamy body wash for less, with a 500ml bottle of Sweet Angel Body Wash available for the wallet-friendly price of £1.79. 

Shoppers went wild for its initial launch last Christmas, with one saying 'the scent is lovely’ and 'it’s well worth a go.'

With savings of 92 per cent compared to Lush, shoppers can indulge themselves for a fraction of the price this festive season. 

Launching in stores across the nation from the November 14, both products are available whilst stocks last.

Meanwhile, Australians have been struggling to keep up with the rising cost of one of the country's most beloved sweet treats, but an Aldi 'dupe' has arrived to save the day - and wallets.

Thousands have complained about Tim Tams now being $5 for a standard pack of 11 - with the price going up to $11.70 in some parts of Australia.

Foodies scrambling with their grocery bills can turn to Aldi's Just Divine Milk Chocolate Biscuits, which will only set you back a reasonable $2.19 for 11 biscuits.

The bargain buy has been receiving a tonne of praises online, with mums across the country claiming Aldi's dupe is 'even better' than the Arnott's snack.
