Aldi is releasing a $10 'dupe' for a popular Brazilian cellulite-fighting cream - and it works just as well!

Summer is just around the corner, which means it's time to start thinking about how we're going to get our bodies beach-ready. One area we like to focus on is cellulite. You know, those little blemishes that seem impossible to get rid of, no matter how much we diet and exercise.

But luckily, there are products out there that can help diminish their appearance. One such product is Sol de Janeiro's Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, which has become a cult classic in the beauty world. It’s also one of Mecca's best sellers – but at $72 per tub, it's not exactly budget-friendly.

But fret not, dear members! Aldi has done it again. The retail giant announced that they’re releasing a very affordable dupe for Sol de Janeiro's popular Brazilian Bum Bum cream.



Aldi recently announced its own version of the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream from Mecca under its skincare brand Lacura, which retails for $9.99. Now, beauty lovers from all over the country are swarming to Aldi in hopes of getting their hands on the newest product ahead of its actual release date.

The product is called the Summer Touch Beauty Balm (also referred to as 'Booty Balm'). The cream has guarana extract and coconut oil for firming and conditioning the skin, as well as a tropical scent.

It first became available in other Aldi stores internationally earlier this year but will finally be hitting Australian shelves next week – just in time for summer swimsuit season! For just $9.99, Aldi's new Booty Balm promises to firm and tone your skin, just like Sol De Janeiro’s iconic beauty product.



One woman shared her excitement over Aldi’s newest dupe in a post to the YouBeauty Facebook group. ‘Um, has everyone seen the Sol de Janeiro dupe at Aldi next week?’ She wrote.

Other members quickly chimed in on the thread, with most of them expressing their excitement about the product.

One shopper said that she hopes the Booty Balm smells the same as its famous counterpart. Another expressed their joy at the dupe finally being available in Australia.

The rest of Aldi's summer beauty line includes items like Glow Oil ($8.99) for a golden sun-kissed shimmer; Body Cream ($9.99); Bubble UP Shower scrub ($7.99) in Cherry or Mango scent; BB Cream with SPF-15 ($12.99); and a cushion compact ($12.99).



The budget-friendly Booty Balm will be available in Aldi stores across Australia from this Wednesday (October 26), so mark it in your calendar! We have a feeling it's going to fly off the shelves.
