When you buy Benefit stuff on ebay do you have any tips on knowing whether the item is genuine? I have looked a few times and noticed there was a lot of Benefit stuff on there that seemed ridiculously cheap and I was unsure whether it was genuine?

Thanks

I've been looking for some Lemon Aid on there and noticed a Seller who was selling about 20 pots of it on different lots ie some were for singular items, other's for duos and up to job lot of x 10. Had a look at their feedback and there was one negative for a pot of Benefit Hoola saying that item was not genuine. Looks like this is the only way to tell.

Have had a look at cheap smells but unfortunately they don't sell Lemon Aid.

One more UU

Kiehl's Creme de Corps Body Lotion 30ml - a really nice body lotion, but nothing special.

My hand cream is spluttering, so a small chance of another UU this month. If I have time after work tomorrow will have a sort out and see if there is anything that needs throwing away.

Val If you google Benefit Lemon Aid there are quite a lot of reputable sellers showing stock of it. All at full price though. Boots do a free collect from store if you spend £20, it would mean adding some shampoo, deo or something costing £3.50. I bought one from *bay a few months ago from someone who only sold a few items and had 100% feedback, as at that timee there didn't seem to be any available anywhere else. It looks genuine. I have just got through to the pan on mine, no shelf life stated that I can see, might have to get a back up when I start the next one

1 freebie IN: Yves Rocher anti-age global for dry skin 1ml sample.

I've just been catching up with the thread. The good news is the sample is the first IN of the year. The bad news is I have a brilliant new obsession to spend my money on...

Well it all started with my childhood :rotfl:

I adopted a bunny rabbit at the weekend. I am like a new parent and am completely obsessed with my beautiful little bunny. So far there's been the indoor hutch, the food, hay, sawdust, the indoor play pen, the toys.... oh dear!! :T
