Anyone ever ordered any MAC from bombshellbargains.com?

[Bernadette]

I've had this site bookmarked for some time but never ordered anything. Has anyone ever ordered anything from them?
They have discontinued items. All prices are in CAD.

I know some have had good luck, but I haven't. I ordered once and got a stale product, one that was out of it's box and looked like it had been used and a lipglass that was something other than what it was listed as. Soo....for me, not so much.

I have ordered some of pigments from that site. Deckchair, Blue something, and Blue storm. They were all in good condition. I also got some pressed powder and one e/s and they were all boxed and new.

I don't buy it if it is marked as unboxed or lip products. I buy everything from MAC website for lipglasses and others when new collections come out.

I just ended up B2Ming my stuff, as I didn't want to deal with the hassle of returning them. As Juli said, it is a good idea to buy lip products or emollient products from an original MAC distributer. On the topic of boxes, I too would only buy a boxed product, but just to note: the things I ordered where indicated to have a box.

2nd stage MAC dealers are a crap shoot. You never know what you will get. The only one I trust is a CCO. Other than that, it is MAC, Nords, Macys or Gloss for me. I've learned it's just safer.

yes, i have ordered from them very recently. i just received (2 days ago?) a vanilla pigment (good condition), too faced beach bunny chronicle (good condition), nars lovejoy (good condition), and mac e/s in melody. i was so surprised to see melody up there i had to grab it. the only problem when i received it is there was a bit of a lighter coating on the top layer of the melody. i just swiped it 2x with an eyeshadow brush and now its vibrant. not that big a deal to me. hth!

I have read it here on Specktra that Bombshellbargains is the sorta Canadian version of CCOs??

But then someone also mentioned there isn't any CCO in Canada. I guess they pick up d/c'ed items somewhere and list them on the website. Sometimes, I think when they say unboxed lipglosses esp the lancome juicy tubes, they were either testers and counters or they picked up bunch at a company sales locations. (or an outlet)
