Do fake MSF's exist??

[Cyanide.Candy]

I was thinking of getting some MSF's on eBay, but what with all the fakes I'm oh so wary.. I know that eyeshadows and pigments are generally a no-go area on eBay, but what about the MSF's?

Are there counterfeit MSF's on the market, have you ever received/seen one on eBay?

Just how risky would it be to bid on an MSF?

I was just thinking about the same thing. I think its possible, but super hard to fake them. Most of the ones that I've seen on Ebay are real.

I don't think they are faked. I think it would be to hard to do it.

 

[Cyanide.Candy]

yeah, that's what I was figuring too.. oh well I guess I won't know for sure til I get one!

I havent seen a faked MSF yet, but be careful because I HAVE seen fake MES!

Really? Fake MES? What were the differences, or was it again just the swatches which gave it away?

The fake MES were flat - looked like they had been pressed if you get what I mean. They were split like duos as well so it was VERY obvious that they were fakes, but I guess if you werent a regular MAC consumer you could still be duped

Thanks panda! You are always so helpful!

^^ No worries

That one was advertised as the Heat/Element MES duo...lol...clearly it wasnt, but like I said they are out there so best just keep an open eye if buying from ebay.

This dodgy Indonesian site sells them Cosmeticsforgift | The Beauty Superstore

BUT payment terms are Western Union or Wire transfer so its Obviously a pay and never get your purchase scam site.

Yup, thanks for the info Panda, that's good to know that they're so badly faked - the pigments are getting harder and harder to distinguish unfortunately

Talste, god those sites are springing up just everywhere! Thanks for the heads up!
