Signed, Sealed e/s!

[Cocopai]

Hello!

I just ordered a mac signed, sealed eyeshadow on eBay (i know:S), and it looks 100% authentic, but the texture is not like the other matte2s i have. So i was wondering if any of you had it and could describe the "feel" of it? The pigmentation of the one i got is good, but it feels harder and more "gritty" than my other matte2s! Is this how it is supposed to be?

I would really appreciate it if anyone could answer!

Many thanks in advance!

A picture wont really help as it looks 100% the real deal. Its the feel of it i am curious about Like..My typographic eyeshadow is very soft and velvety when you touch it, where as my signed, sealed is kinda "rough/gritty". You cant see it when you look at it, but you can feel it when you swatch it. The reason i am wondering is because i got a reaction on my eyelids today, and i am wondering if it the signed,sealed e/s that might be fake. I have 7 matte2 eyeshadows, and none of them feel quite like this one. The pigmentation and the look of it however is good. Thats why i am a little confused. So if there is anyone out there that has signed, sealed, and another mac matte2 shadow could compare them and tell me if the signed sealed one is like mine Sorry if this is long and stupid

^ Sounds like you might have a fake in your hands. Or a allergic reaction, I wold suggest wearing another shadow for a day or two. Cause if the reaction clears up when you don't have it on, it could be the fake shadow possibly.

there are some specktrettes on here that can spot tell tale signs of a fake no matter how subtle they may be, a picture may help, cos they see things that most people don't. anyway, a picture/swatch might also give people an idea if the colour looks a bit off, i personally have not owned this shadow so i cant help you.
some other things that might help people identify it's origin, is the batch no. on the bottom of the eye shadow and some other details

hopefully some one else can

I was asking for a picture so I could see what it looks like, but I'm wondering with fake MAC products could a allergic reaction be possible with something like that?

Update: I took it to to a mac store and had them check, and it was real. I have found out it is the mac paint pots i am having this reaction to! Weird!
