Thank you!!!!! I searched a few days ago and was like WT ever-loving F! I was yelling, How does searching for MAC Razzledazzler produce this result?!?!?!? I thought it was a fluke.
ok, I should've listened. I had to go and be nosey. I was not expecting that at all.

I bought Immortal Flower from beyond the rack. It didn't occur to me that it could be counterfeit. I'm thinking of picking up another one from this collection. Idk, anyone have thoughts about MAC sales on Beyond the Rack?

I'm curious too. I purchased from them twice before. I didn't notice anything weird with my 1st order (a couple of blushes and some e/s), but I'm not very knowledgeable with fake MAC products. (All my other MAC makeup have been purchased from MAC/Nordies/Macy's/CCO and a few from Specktra.) I'll have to check my 2nd haul that just arrived a few days ago (a couple of l/s, l/g, and blushes) and compare them to my other products. Ugh... I should've done my research first!

Has anyone else ordered from BTR? If so, can you confirm if the products are fake or authentic?

I cannot wait for the swatches of this collection.
I absolutely love peaches, corals and oranges :D
especially on the lips

I got immortal flower from tres cheek, I was really disappointed in its pigmentation I'd have to swirl my brush in it several times then apply to show up and I'm nc20!
was anyone else's really weakly pigmented?

Mine kind of is too actually. And speaking of skintones, I'm curious as to what my MAC shade would be. I only use BM in fairly light, which is a neutral shade.

I'm NC20/25 with strong yellow undertones and it didn't show up on my skin either.

I don't know what mine is to be honest either. I think I'm between nc15 and nc20 and I'm only a teeny bit yellow and have red cheeks. I have a nc15 concealer which is way too light for me. I don't think mac has many shades for light skin =/

Same experience here.I posted a few pages ago that I thought my Immortal Flower was just a dud since it applied patchy (and also didn't show up much).

Yeah, the packaging is actually very spot on when I compared to my other MAC blushes. I really don't know. I sent MAC an email and they told me that Beyond the Rack is not an approved retailer for MAC and they have no idea how they obtained their stocks.

I think I am just going to send beyond the rack an email later and just pick up immortal flower from this collection to be safe. I really like paler blushes on me. I use the 129 SH and pat it over my foundation/bb cream or something that it can stick to and I'm happy. I don't really like all the lustre lipsticks though. They're too sheer for me. ;/ I have to shade my lips in with pencil before I use flamingo or else it would look like nothing. lol

After further research and careful inspection, I believe all of the products I received are FAKE!

The packaging is very close, but if you'll compare the label/stickers at the bottom of the blush, they are different (font and color). When I compared my Girl About Town lipglass to the one I received from BTR, the color is very close, but the one from BTR has more shimmer, and there is a slight difference in the stickers' fonts. The lipsticks look rather oily. Last but not the least, the lipsticks and lipglasses don't have a vanilla scent! It's just a sweet (non-vanilla) sugary scent.

ETA: I emailed them and they said, "All of the featured items are guaranteed to be 100% authentic." BS!

Aw. 8( I'll email them and let you know what happens. I'll even forward the email that MAC sent me and see what they have to say!

I started out buying MAC from maccosmetics.com and I've only ever got mine from there, nordstrom and one-time Bloomingdales when I was hunting for MAC Jaunty 2 months after it sold out on the MAC website.

Ahhhh.... Such a pretty collection.... I wonder if any of the blushes looks like Mandarin Orange? Definitely getting at least 3/4 lippies and a blush. I have immortal flower already which I haven't touched yet :)
