Aldi Aquav Stress Therapy Herbal Bath Soak







75p for 750ml. This is a decent quality bath foam - not a budget one, and compares with Tesco own brand Revitalising Bath foam, which is slightly cheaper at 90p for 1l, and the brand leader Radox, which is generally at least twice as much; even though there are deals available at around £1 or less for 500ml, that is still way more expensive. 

This foams up nicely, and makes the water feel soft. The foam lasts a decent amount of time.The aroma is an invigorating mineral quality. Not a girly or flowery scent, but not particularly masculine either - more of a neutral healthy mineral and medicine aroma. It's quite a strong aroma, not particularly pleasant, but quite acceptable, and in keeping with a Radox type bath product. 

This is not a product I would seek out, but I'd be quite happy to buy again if in Aldi.

Aldi Choceur Creamy Dark






99p for 200g. This is edible and sweet, but doesn't taste much like chocolate, more like chocolate flavoured vegetable fat. It is a solid chocolate, but the mouth experience is more like a soft inside, almost a mouse. I was surprised on looking at it to see it was solid all the way through. There is something about it which kind of hints at Galaxy chocolate, but this is darker, less luxurious, and tastes of imitation chocolate rather than the real thing. The smoothness is the key to this product, and if you like your chcolate to be smooth above all else, then you'll like it. It's certainly edible, but it's not that yummy, and feels somewhat over-priced.
