I thought they'd more likely be an upcoming one. Not a fake. But I guess they could be naked you or New vegas.

And im not worried about it's authenticity I was just curious.. as I hadn't seen an MSF that looked like that before.

These aren't considered fakes because on the box it has WN on it, which stands for working name. It's either a product that they're working on for an upcoming collection or an item previously worked on with that certain working name before they finalize the shade for the MSF. I have a Catherine Deneuve eyeshadow Quad marked sample with one shade out of the 4 eyeshadows as WN.

IMHO, bora bora looks like new stuff, doesn't really look that close to naked you. because it has peachy veins. I'm more inclined to thinking those will be the new stuff for summer.

Just for reference, here's my Naked You (left, sorry for the sorta blurry pic) compared to that pic of Bora Bora. I think they look the same. But I guess you never know, it's not like they haven't released very similar stuff to older stuff before!! We'll see. If it is similar I just hope it's not quite as glittery, because while I love the color of Naked You, the glitter is toooo much, and I never thought I'd say that, being a glitter/shimmer nut!!

I'm thinking they are the new MSFs too, since it has that white sticker with WN on it. Those have popped up on Ebay before.

holy cow....

It sold for $82.79. That would probably warrant a cheap pleasureflush or at least a stereo rose + petticoat lot. Even if its a working name, it'll be out soon... and not worth $40 each.

and esp. with feed back like that. It seems about 10% of the people never receive their items!

well, I guess if you have the money...

just so you all know and to clarify, this bora bora msf is actually the WN for Gold Spill msf which comes out with flashtronic

 

[lah_knee]

oh ya and zanzibar was the WN for global glow which is coming out with flashtronic as well.

 

[aziajs]

^^^I figured. Is Global Glow similar to Shooting Star?

Ditto - I was going to say the same. There is actually another thread on Specktra somewhere? which states the same thing re both Bora Bora and Zanzibar!

Re: another 'bora bora' msf on ebay

That was the working name for Gold Spill from the Flashtronic collection, according to this thread.

Re: another 'bora bora' msf on ebay

I have to agree that it does look pretty! And, it looks more interesting than my Gold Spill.

Re: another 'bora bora' msf on ebay
