yeah, my sister works for trading standards and says that fake skin care products, and fake cleaning products like washing powder etc are everywhere at the moment. they recently found a batch of fake cillit bang at aldi.

genrally they fak a high grade product ie fake packaging etc and just put a bog standard Moisturiser inside it. So you will still get a something it will jsut be a cheapo shitty one that doesnt do what the brand claims to.

with clit bang, it'd be hard to spot the difference. it's piffle.

i cannot tell you how cross i'd be to receive fake lotions and face potions, so if anyone's considering snides for gifts, don't do it.

i kept getting a baneing face post shave so i got some moisturiser, but i got a clearly 'blokes' one called nivea for men, in a BLUE PACKET! and with a manly silver lid which reminds me of technology and science and industry and communism and other manly things.

anyway, it cost 6 FUCKING QUID!!!!!! just to make me feel better about being a man buying moisturiser, just for a blue jar and the lid and the blocky font. clean twice the price of normal stuff!

apparantly they are all the EXACTLY the same in the brand, womens and mens face creams, just packaged and priced different by each brand. i just aint that in touch with my feminine side to have the birds versions in my wardrobe...for a start my ocd wouldnt be able to handle it..so they got me suckered.
