most common faked pigments?

[invadersads]

are their certain pigments that are the most commonly faked? like is there a certain list of pigments that are faked more often and are their some that have never been found to be fake or is it something that there's not definitive list? i tried searching but only found how to tell if their fake, but if its a sample i dont know how to tell other than comparing it to a real one.
i ordered some pigments from thebodyneeds and then read some not so good things that all her pigments might not be real, and although i haven't recieved my order yet, i'm worried.

the ones i ordered are:
Pink Pearl
Lark About
Violet
Solar Bits - Bronzescape
Reflects Transparent Teal
Melon

i ended up buying a solar bits in bronzescape and even though i doubt it's been faked, i'll at least have something to compare it to. other than that it seems the only other one so far to worry about it melon.
i'm wondering what i should do when i get them? i really dont want to just throw them out, i'm just nervous after hearing the horrible things that can come from using counterfeit makeup..
