Hello everyone 
I've been e-stalking this seller for awhile now =X (SF2HB on Ebay)
She sells brushes by sets, and most of them seem to be from the Formal Black collection.. From what I gathered, she has a bunch of them and takes them out of their pouches and sells them as one big LE set.
Photos from the set I purchased from her:
From my personal examination, the lettering and spacing seems right.. However the larger face brushes do have a distinct not-what-I'd-call-pleasant smell to them.. I don't own any large MAC brushes yet so I don't know if it's supposed to or not. The handles on the brushes are slightly shorter as they are supposed to be SE, and are a shiny black color with no sparkles in it.
I was wondering if you guys would be able to tell whether they're real or fake from the photos? I've read the guide to fake brushes and found it helpful, however I was wondering it people have started manufacturing/selling fake SE brushes as well. I'll take photos of them side by side with my own MAC brushes soon, they were just not so clean at the time =[
I haven't washed or used these yet, so if they do turn out to be fake I'll be asking the seller for a full refund as she advertised them as authentic.
I first noticed the seller way back in early December and even messaged her asking how she would have a set, as MAC doesn't sell brushes by sets.. She told me that it's disassembled from Formal Black.
Just wondering if it's too good to be true as I just bid & won this 13 piece set (missing the 129 I think) for $132.
