well its any item that seems "such a bargain" you have to grabbit at that point lest you will never get it cheap again and therefore is moneysaving.

The grabbit while you can board is full of stuff one doesnt need however mysteriously ends up being delivered as it was "cheap"
:rolleyes: story of my life :rolleyes:

fizzytrinket

i've been up and down oxford street today and have bought nothing.
i've got loads of free samples including 2 from cellex c :j and i got 10 more days of estee lauder foundation from boots. i dont know why because at a rough estimate i've got about a dozen bottles of foundation. i've started putting it on with a makeup sponge and i do like the effect. then i go over my face with a makeup brush. this makes me look a bit air brushed i think. and uses up a bit more foundation.

its not just tioletries to get through it's all the stuff that goes with the stuff like tissues, cotton wool balls, buds, facecloths - all manner of them,pedicure and manicure stuuf, sponges and bath bits, eyelash curlers(5), waxes :eek: loads of them and they all hurt, hair removing cream, and i can keep going on and on...

completely used up a by terry serum.it's not in my nature to waste a drop of anything either

I got my Ebay purchase - Benefit Dandelion and it was a sodding fake. :mad:

I emailed the seller and said I knew it was fake as I compared it beside my genuine one and:

Weight was wrong
Packaging was scrappy
Colour of box was too dark
Smelled wrong

She sent a refund right away and said she had been told they were seconds. Should I leave feedback?

1 x P&P body lotion finished off and 1 x CW protein hair mask tub used up too :-)

Well done to you too Babafette! It gets easier from here on in ( she says)

Out of interest, whats the extra cash for? saving for anything in particular?

If I can bear to leave the house I must post my voucher from that Buy-a-gfit glitch where you can get 2x hair group haircuts for 1.95 :j Im only having a ( overdue!) trim though I dont like new hairdressers messing about too much!

Of course!

As nice as she is about it, she's only sweetening you up to avoid a neg so she can carry on selling what she knows full well are fakes.

I bought a MAC eyeliner which was fake, emailed seller, she was all nicey nicey, refunded etc. I left a neg and a couple of days later she had responded to the neg saying that it was 'wrong on all counts'.

People who sell fake clothes and shoes are one thing, but fake cosmetics that you put on your face/around the eyes are disgusting - who knows what goes into them!

I left neutral pretty much word for word what you suggested!!

When you say the item wasn't as described (In the star boxes underneath) there is a box to tick for fake goods, so I did that too.
