Have Select Cover Up Color Correctors been Faked?

[Cinci]

Does anyone know if the Select Cover Up Color Correctors have been faked? I bought a Color Corrector Yellow off ebay (I figured I'd take a chance on it as this isn't an item that there is a ton of on ebay, which you would think there would be if they were producing fakes, and I didnt think they were being faked.... ) For the most part, it looks identical to the Green and Peach versions that I bought directly from MAC, except for the name sticker and the upc sticker. The sticker is a different font, and in the middle of the box, rather than on the top right corner, which I know is a usual sign of fakes. The UPC sticker is a slightly different format than on my green and peach... I couldnt see any differences in the boxes, or on the products otherwise.. Although, I am as good at picking up on those subtle differences...

Here are some pics of the yellow vs the peach:

ok I see a huge difference in the sticker labels on the box. also when you layed the tubes side by side on their backs, I noticed that the "MAC" symbol is a bit higher on the one you bought on ebay. I'm not an expert at this because fotunately I've never had this experience. but I've heard a few tips and tricks along the way to spot fakes. this is going to sound really random but try scratching the authenthic MAC box and then try scratching the "fake" MAC box. I was told that the black packaging boxes are somewhat sturdy and if you scratch it the color won't really budge but if you try scratching the fake box the black will peel off easier? I hope that makes sense lol good luck hun

Hey.. Yea, I noticed that the lettering is a bit higher on the yellow one. I inspected the boxes and they appear to be the same quality. I tried scratching both of them but was relatively unsuccessful. They both have the faintest scuff but thats it (and I scratched them both twice, in the same spot with my nail). Neither of them developed an obvious scratch and the black didnt peel or come off on either... I checked the texture of the yellow vs the peach tonight, and they I do not see a difference in texture either.... I tested the quality of coverage of the yellow and it was very good too... If this is fake, it is a damn good one, thats forsure..

This seller is located in Toronto, and I noticed that some of their items are ones that were sold at the Warehouse sale this summer, so I am hoping that maybe this was bought there? (I am also pretty sure that they did have the color corrector yellow there this summer)

Hopefully someone reading this bought one there this summer and still has the box? Or does anyone have a yellow color corrector that they bought at the store? It would be great if I had another yellow one to compare it to!

Update: I was right about them selling color corrector yellow at the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale in TO this year... I showed my friend my the pics of my color corrector yellow tonight, and she said that hers that she bought from the Warehouse Sale did look the same (same odd font on the stickers and all). So I guess this item is authentic afterall!
