BENEFIT COUNTERFEITS?

[doloreshazed]

[h=3]Does anyone know about fake / counterfeit cosmetics?[/h] I recently swapped 3 MAC eyeshadows for a Benefit Erase Paste (to be fair I used them once and never again so they were wasting away).
This girl swapped with me and had used her Erase Paste ONCE and I got it and a few things popped up for me:

1. It came without the box.
2. Plastic Jar, not glass.
3. No ingredients list the sticker on the bottom says peel and I peeled and it says benefit cosmetics underneath no ingredients list on the actual jar.
4. It smells rubbery, doesn't smell like cosmetics.
5. It doesn't seem as pink as I remember and thicker than the tester at Sephora.
6. No batch code imprinted on the bottom of the plastic jar just a letter T.

I am gonna go check out the tester at Ulta and see how it differs.

Does anyone have erase paste who can confirm this fake?

There's a massive amount of counterfit benefit out there covering most of their product range You can easily find the Chinese wholesalers' websites. I've heard their fake packaging is pretty good though.

It actually sounds like you might have gotten a tester since it had a "T" on the bottom? I don't know about benefit testers but I know some brands make testers in special packaging with less information on the labels so that they can be used in different countries.
