I don't understand why they are counterfeiting Smashbox??? It's got great items but isn't that hyped up and real items can be gotten fairly cheaply anyways.

Also, Smashbox is now being sold in drugstores in Canada, which I feel lowers the brand image and desirability of the brand. If you can get it at a pharmacy, why bother faking it??

Wow. Those are some HORRIBLE fakes. And right now, Pixi, Jemma Kidd, and Napoleon are being sold at Target...I never cared for NP anyways, but that's besides the point...

It does kinda lower the desire for a brand if its widely available, but as long as the quality doesn't change, then I won't complain.

they are sold not as a drugstore brand, the price is still the same as in Sephora, they're non-DS prices.
I think, the only DS that sells it is Shoppers Drug Mart which is kind of a 'rich' drugstores compared to London Drugs and Rexall.
Shoppers Drug Mart also sells expensive brands like the branded perfumes, Lise Watier, as well as selling their own make up line called Quo.

Hey thanks for this thread - I was about to start a thread asking if fake Smashbox is rampant or not on ebay. That being said, those are really hideous/obvious fakes but I was wondering about the eyeshadow trios - those interest me the most at the moment but I wasn't sure if there are lot of fakes on ebay of them or not. If anyone can let me know I'd appreciate it =)

Wow off the bat you know its fake. Unless you are totally not familiar how Smashbox packaging looks like. Anyway, I only buy Smashbox on Ebay from a trusted seller. Her seller name is smashlolo. She only sells Smashbox and has an impressive 100% feedback from tons of buyers.

Although I'm new with Smashbox there's simply no way you won't notice these are fake!!!

You can get real Smashbox trios cheaply from Ebay, so price doesn't indicate fake, a lot of people buy sets and break them up. Many times those shades from sets aren't regular shades and sometimes the sets are exclusive for QVC, so you cannot check them on smashbox.com or sephora online. Put otherwise real Smasbox is easy to spot, the packacing is fairly constant and simple.

I think the sets are brilliant value so you might want to start with one of those.

Hi everone,
We're not counterfeiting Smashbox.We got our smashbox product from Asia Factory.And the factory also gave us their official paper for their brand "smashbox" This is really a coincidence that their smashbox is the same name as "smashbox" of US. So I think their "smashbox" product are not counterfeit but just another brand.Many thanks,
kind regards,
Lucia,kalawatrd
