They're 150ml, so 3/4 the size of a Body Shop one. So at £9.33 with 1/3 off at Boots just now actually makes it quite a good buy. Sorely tempted

Noooooooo :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Don't make me slap you on the wrist!! :rotfl:

morning all
managed to use up a can of charlie red body spray and a sampler sachet of face mouisturiser

Bu66er. Just typedloads and have deleted it by mistake.

Nearly finished up a couple of sample pots so will be looking forward to the weekend to put them in the bin.

Not ettingon very well with the S&G clean girls I cbought last week, it is making me itchy and my skin dry, shame as I love the smell. Also, the area under my ring on my finger (18ct white gold ring, which I have had 10 years) has gone all scabby and sore and I think it is due to the S&G.

Bought some Benefit Dandeliion from ebay, which I think is fake. Going into Boots to compare at lunchtime. The box looked wrong when I took ito out of the jiffy bag. The printing is not straight, the plastic piece the brush sits in feels cheap, the cover around the brush is rubbish. The colour is wrong, the brush is cheap and nasty, it smells horrible and does not look like Dandelion. I have used this for years and love it, I use a dusting over my foundation. Thank heavens I have a small scrape left out of the old box! Wil check at lunch time and if it is fake I will report it to ebay. :mad:

And, I feel like putting my boss through the shredder:eek:

You won't though :eek:, will you :eek:? I think you need some of that chocolate that rosemary54 should have bought the other day.
I'm being sooooooooo lazy. MiL has got the kids today so I was going to do lots (ironing decluttering etc). Instead, I'm sitting here in my jammies and dressing gown on the lappy . And I haven't even had breakfast yet .

Interesting about the Dandelion.
Did the seller have lots of the benefit blushers for around the 6 or 7 quid mark? If so I bought a Thrrrob! off them and it was fake. I too have used Dandelion for years and wanted to try out a different one so went for that as it was such a good buy (should have known better). Report it asap if you feel it's not right.
Seriously pee'd off with ebay at the mo for all sorts of reasons.

Yes, certainly did. I should have known better too, but money is tight and did what I thought to be ok. It's the first time I have been caught out. Did you report the seller too?

Aww, sorry to hear about your (possibly) fake Dandelion. flying_fresian had a similar problem on last month's thread (see first post, page 42):

Might be worth PM'ing her to find out if it was the same seller....?
