As others have said - samples are full size items given out to employers and journalists sometimes at pre launch events prior to the actual release dates of the products - I guess so the artists can get used to the new products and that journalists can write their articles etc.
As Sarah has said - MSF have yet to be counterfeited.

Thanks! And I am glad to hear the MSF's haven't been faked yet. I would think they may take way to much work to fake? I dunno..

This was given to me during my M·A·C course so is definitely genuine. |

Hmm...if I'm not mistaken, those look like the Jesse's Girl mineral eyeshadows.
So, note to self: Don't buy MAC from eBay, unless they're vetted from someone here. I wouldn't know a fake if I saw one.
