I don't think anyone is qualified to clarify on here. Boots have their own procedures after such complaints so I'm sure they will communicate to their customers one way or another........

Though if anyone is seriously worried about using them in the meantime I would suggest they simply don't.

Popped into my local yesterday and bought 3 Sexy Motherpucker's for £4 each instead of £8 each from clearance. It was the peach flavoured one - perhaps it's being discontinued?
Though my store is tiny and it sometimes has things in clearance purely because of delivery error and it doesn't normally stock that particular item.

Could you have got the hand food gwp free with your Sexy Motherpuckers? I think hand food is free with £12 spend...

Maybe just take them back in the bag and explain that there was a gwp that you were not told about and you would like the hand food as you are entitled to it? They might just refund it and put it through again, hand food included :rolleyes:

I already opened one last night. Still worth asking though!

It's majorly tingly - it feels like I've rubbed chillis on my lips! :rotfl:
Feeling subsides after about 10 minutes and the gloss stayed on all morning today and most of lunch! I would recommend it - though not sure I'd pay £8 for it normally.........

I bought some when one of the trio packs was down to about £4.50 last year and never got used to the feeling! It certainly needs some getting used to! I find it to be quite sticky aswell, which really irritates me as my hair will stick to my lips after just turning my head around haha

I am well annoyed. Yesterday I had an email from Boots Viewpoint to ask if I would like to take part in trying products etc. I did the on -line survey.............filled in all my details including buying habits. Persanol stuff as well. Then I received a further email telling me a product will be sent to my address.

Now, today I receive an email telling me that someone their end messed up and I will NOT be doing the trials for them:mad: They already have a team and I was a big MISTAKE I wasted at least 45 minutes of my time yesterday going through their criteria. As this happened to anyone else?

Wondering if this is some kind of underhand way of them trying to get consumer:eek: information for free!!

^Never happened to me... but I did get told I didn't qualify for a product test, then a few days later they emailed me and said they were sendign the product out. Maybe they realised they didn't have a varied enough group to test them on, so they got rid of some people in the fuller age categories, and took others from different age groups?
