fake petal pusher?

[splattergirl]

I wanted to buy this gloss from the seller "mamalima" but the color looked pretty different than other petal pusher listings:

http://cgi.ebay.com/MAC-LUSTREGLASS-COLOR-PETAL-PUSHER-NIB_W0QQitemZ230033911977QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_Def aultDomain_2?hash=item230033911977&_trksid=p3911.c 0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A4|65%3A13|39%3A1|240%3A1318

I sent her a msg asking was this actual color or a bad photo or what, she answered "[FONT=arial,sans-serif]it is tha colour"

just for reference, those are other ebay petal pushers:

petal pusher mac, Health Beauty items on eBay.com

I saw her listing got sold out, obviously there were some people who didn't mind weird color!

You really cannot use colour in photos as a guide to authenticity.

To see why, look at;

• The danger of using colour in photos to identify products as counterfeit

I've just updated that thread so the pictures work again.

All those pictures were taken of genuine product using the same camera (Olympus D450). Now try and tell me that colour can be used to determine whether something is the real deal or not!

I understand, the problem is, I showed the seller few other photos of that product which had all about same shade and asked if that was its real color, and as far as I understood, she said it was the color as on her photo so I got a bit confused ^^
maybe she meant the color on other photos was actual but the answer was rather ambiguous

Of course, you don't really know how her computer monitor shows colours nor do you know whether she has perfect colour vision (about 1 in 200 women has some form of colour blindness).

Have a look at her other auctions and see if anything catches your eye as being obviously fake. I can't see anything that stands out.
