Fake Beauty Powder Blush?

[macluvermre]

Hi everyone!! Just curious if anyone else has seen or purchased ANY beauty powder blush that was fake yet? I am going to be posting a pic of the one I received from ebay seller biluan123 and have other colors to compare it to, it is not the same. Also, the lettering on the back of compact is BEIGE and not white. She refunded my payment + shipping stat and never once asked me to return it...... This is getting to be a bit much. I mean, what is NOT being faked now? I am also going to figure out where to put a photo of the fake fake Your ladyship pigment from this same seller, and post it for everyone. Thanks for any input on the BPB, I am baffled....

^^^ I am shocked that Biluan123 sold fake items...I have bought several shadows from her with no problems what so ever...I depotted all of them and they were great. Never bought pigments however....I personally would never buy pigments from anyone off Ebay by any means.

To be honest it seems a lot/most MAC things are being faked these days...the problem is people keep buying off Ebay and therefore you pretty much are opening yourself up to the chance of fake products. I know there are some legitimate sellers...But it seems the fake ones are out numbering the legitimate ones these days so I am just not taking the chance when it comes to certain items.

They have Sweetness currently at my CCO...I am going to call and check on the lettering.
Also, would love to see photos of your Ladyship I have one from the CCO so I will try to post pictures as well.

Okay, here are the pics of the Sweetness BPB exactly as it was received. Sorry about the back of the compact photo, but I am just showing that the print is all in yellow-beige, versus all my other ones, they are white.

I just called the CCO and she does not have any for sale...But she has a sample ...and she said it has beige lettering like the Spaced Out blush....which I have and it does have beige lettering I will take a pic

The following are 100% authentic purchased from MAc and as you can see the Spaced Out label is Beige lettering compared to the Eversun .. Spaced out looks far more yellow IRL
Your box and my box appear to be exactly the same except for yours have been roughed up ...the lettering is exact

With regards to the Your Ladyship, well - it's more that the color is all wrong. The tab of the box does not have the (crimp) marks on either side and there is no code on the box? No dot matrix to match up. The first one came from the mac counter at the release party. It's a beige, sparkly champagne. What I received looks more like a melony-pinkish color and also applies like a "frost" (imo) and there is not any sparkly shimmer in it. I have taken photos to show the comparison in colors, both applied on my hand (NC40 for reference) and then on a white piece of paper. There is nothing similiar about them, so I don't know. I just looked at my feeling and serenly BPB, and they have mac sticker and writing in black with white lettering, not beige. And, the box is all scratched and can easily be marked, etc. In the photos, the picture on the top of my hand is the "suspicious" one I received and the bottom swatch is my original Your ladyship that I got from mac. It is in that same order on the paper I swatched.


This is the one I already had:

This is what I received:

Swatch on my hand - top color was received (it's very frosty) and the bottom color is the one I already had.

Here is the swatches to compare what was received vs. the Your ladyship I had. Natural lighting - NO flash.

Hi

. Thanks for helping me! I can really see the heavy frost in the pigment I received because I am italian and darker toned (I thought), but as I further investigated, it was obvious that the swatches on white paper show it alot better. I don't understand what happen w/her because I did get some authentic items. I didn't give her alot of nasty comments, but she did assure me it was authentic AND the photo she was using to sell it, looked legit to me and she has that very same one for sale again (she has sold like 6-8 of this color). Guess it just goes to show me that even though it *seems* they have taken a photo of the item that is actually for sale, you can get something completely different

. She was nice, refunded my money instantly via her blackberry (as according to her) and I was not going to leave any feedback, but I didn't think it was right to leave none at all. I just wanted to let others know.
You think the sweetness is an authentic item?

...BTW...is the YL piggie you have closer to the sparkly champagne beige or the melon(ish)-pinky frost one? lol... I don't know how to describe it. There isn't any "sparkle" to the one received. The YL I had from mac, it's the best highlighter & base color, I use it alot and I love it. Also, another ebayer contacted me because she said she bought a fake YL off ebay from a seller who's name now appears on the "fakers to avoid" list, and she said hers had a peachy pink tone as well. Thanks alot for your input!! I appreciate it!!

Just from the 1st photo and can tell from the box it is fake. The box has the same telltale marks the early fake eye shadows had. I expect if you were to depot it it would have rings in the pan too

^^ Thats a good Idea depot it....I can't tell anything from the box it is too beat up for me to see ...looks like it was ran over by a car...But I can't put scratch marks on any of my boxes

I am going to make a small and once only post on this - depotting is no longer the answer, sorry ladies. Like always please PM me if you want details.
