Is it time to start a "Counterfeit M·A·C" forum?

There are lipglass fakes, but, you can tell those right away. It looks like the Bow Belle lipglass and the palette are real. I have Bow Belle and I don't have the blue palette, but, I have the purple cased eyeshadow palette (Gem). They were from the 2004 Holiday collection.

Thanks!

Just got a bit worried because of all those stories about sellers with 100% feedback selling fakes all over the place!

Agreed. I just bought Bow Belle at a CCO and the color looks exactly like.

ARG! I think this is fake too!

This is the first Lustreglass I've bought. Before I've just bought lipglass. As soon as I took it out of the box it just seemed "different".

Hopefully someone who's bought Lustreglass before will be able to give me their opinion

Also wondering about this seller.

I read in the linked fav seller thread, that hoanganhcali on eBay is trusted, but I always wondered why her pictures of pro pan refills show a slightly different package: on all refills I bought from a counter, the round window in the middle was always noticeably smaller than the eyeshadow pan itself, but on hers it has the same diameter as the pan - does it just look like this in the US (I'm in Austria), or is this something fishy? (just so you know what I mean: http://cgi.ebay.at/MAC-EYESHADOW-PRO...cmdZVi ewItem)

Could someone please clarify this for me? TIA!

It looks to me as though the seller has taken the shadow out of the package and placed it on top of it in order to be able to take a clearer picture.

Is this real? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ayphotohosting
I've never seen a mineralize skin finish in person...so I can't really tell. *Sigh* I wish I had read this thread before I bought it!!

@PhreakPhantasia

*slapping my head*

Thank you, for some reason that possibility just never occurred to me

I've bought from her she is lovely. I don't see why it would be fake though. HTH

The numbers for the weights don't match either.

i bought something from her, and didnt receive it after 1.5 months and she didnt reply my emails til i said i'm going to report it, and then she refunded my money...

Is this the thread to ask about this kind of stuff?

Wondering if this was authentic: http://cgi.ebay.com/Mac-Sheertone-Bl...QQcmdZViewItem

Seller has excellent feedback, but does the latch look weird? I've never looked too closely, but does it usually stick out like that?

Thanks!

WOW!! what a great topic!! i have gotten ripped off accidently buying fake stuff on Ebay before, but i never thought that people would do it with MAC.
