Can you post a pic?

It's on ebay. The seller said it's a European model and I phoned Mac and they said the same thing as the lipstick- "Mac is different all over the world so you'll see everything and we use blah blah blah".
They won't confirm or deny if they have the damn product but say 'it's possible" because Mac has different packaging for different countries.

I might bid. What's 10 bucks anyways.

Yep that one. How can you tell?
By the way- how did you find it so fast. I have a hard time finding it again.

I just typed "Studio Fix and European" and let it search in the text as well...

I've never ever in my entire MAC life have seen a foundation like that!

MAC's foundations come in a round shaped container and don't crry the plastic foil abouve the product...

The thing that would make me question that is that if it is European like the auction says, then why is the box marked in US oz? Shouldn't it be in metric?

user2 · 08-29-2005, 05:47 PM #11 (**permalink**)

Even in Europe the containers are the same than in the States!

Totally, totally fake. That's why you can't see the top of the compact-- because it doesn't have MAC written on it like the authentic stuff does. Plus, it's shiny black, so it's either not MAC or it would have to be really old since the packaging has been changed for some time.

hm...seller has ZERO feedback, and is a member since August 29th...today. No other items for sale.

Don't you wish you could put some graffitti on the posting and say "Could be Fake! Beware!" Watch somebody bid the .99 for it, and then pay the $5 for shipping. I wonder what it costs them to produce or acquire the fake to begin with to only make a buck or 2 if they even sell it.

I've also wondered about these little palettes that I keep seeing in different color combos. Are they for real?

I think that is legit. I believe it was a special for Saks that came out around January.

sigwing · 08-29-2005, 07:16 PM #17 (**permalink**)

They looked like the real colors, and that would explain it cuz I can't get to Saks! And online I can't order the makeup on their website like I can from Nordstrom or Macy's. (Might be a good thing for my bank account....!)

thanks!
