MAC from EBay.. Mine are real?

[zewzeq]

I bought a number of MAC cosmetics from EBay recently and I need your help to see if they are fake or not. I'm a newbie when it comes to MAC cosmetics. Sorry for having so many pics but this is the only way i can show you the details.

I never suspected the Mineralize blushes and Skinfinishes i got would be fake (never heard about fake Mineralize and i think they would be really hard to fake) until i saw this thread: http://www.specktra.net/forum/f257/i...f-more-167400/ I bought my Mineralize blushes from this seller. Here are the pictures of my Moon River, Hot Planet and Intenso (THey came with boxes but I didn't keep them):

My other MACs came from another seller. This one is not a regular MAC seller. She lists some MAC, Bobbi Brown etc. once in a while and always in auction style, never BIN. I suspect one pigment i received is counterfeit but the others seemed genuine to me but i'm not an expert. I contacted her and she says these are from her personal collection. She is selling stuff she never used and says these are genuine MAC. She said she is also a member of MUA (found her account, she swapped hundreds of stuff and has a 100% score there as well) She is from Singapore by the way.

Here is the Skinfinish i got from her:

The pigments. What i suspected to be fake was the pinked mauve one. The box and jar seems fine (it even has text and numbers under the jar but they are faint and the numbers are partially under the sticker so you can't see in the pics) but there is no text on back of the jar? I've never heard about a fake not having text on the jar either. They all have it. The batch number is correct too. They both had no leafet inside the boxes. So, i'm really confused. Maybe they are both fake?

Re: MAC from EBay.. NEW FAKES

I saw the counterfeit MAC thread was locked, but after seeing this one sellers' site, I had to post something - somewhere! I realize it has gotten terrible but the Liberty of London collection has now been counterfeited too??? This seller has over 300 FB just for the past 30 days already, and all of the pigments and the Liberty of London lipsticks listed and sold, are fake (i.e. Chatterbox and Ruby Woo wasn't part of this collection in the limited edition boxes). The pigments all have eye shadow color names. Seller: arizona1day Example item #'s: 220673219899 (looks real!!), just 1 piggie: 220672800744. Reporting all to Ebay today, for what good it will do. Last week I found a "wholesale" site out of Hong Kong, with many new counterfeit items, including several collections in special packaging. The week before that, I found fake mixing mediums! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! Enough already!
