Are all of this chick's pigments fake?

I dunno. I am a newbie, but they look real to me. Unless there is a detail I am not picking up.

Hope someone who is more experienced can answer you for sure!

I would say yes just because of the font and weight on the boxes. Aren't real ones 2.5g not 7.5g?

Has alot of auctions with photos of fake products up at the mo (doesnt automatically mean that the item you get is fake - these look like generic fake pig stock pics e.g alot of fake sellers use them so its most likely the item isnt real - if the item is real why not have a pic of it like the other auctions? Though some of these are for samples - however it raises the same question.), added to the fact the auctions are private, plus bad feedback - suggestion of authenticitiy issues, vile/nasty communication and trying to con buyers if they can get away with it (feedback stating size issues, items being heavily used etc). The auction photos differ - honest sellers usually have photos that all have a similar look (background, lighting etc)

Photos of fake pigs (base of jar too thick, box misshapen/badly put together, first '/' on box different to second '/', 'e' too thick, poor quality card with discolouration to writing, 'MAC' slightly too thick and off centred on both box and jar, 'pigment' off centred and slightly too high up on box, pig colours look weird to me and scream 'cheap product':

Some boxes/jars are 'positioned' - looks like flaws are being hidden.

Other then that the seller looks fine

:roll:

Pigments are 7.5g except matt (which are all pro if im not mistaken?) which are 2.5g in the same size jar - with an exception again of black black pigment which is 7.5g. The matts being 2.5 or 7.5 has been debated though - some have real ones that are 7.5 but are not black black, so i think its down to batch?... Sorry if this post is confusing

 

[hooked*on*mac]

i wouldnt buy from this seller

I reported all of the ones I saw with the fake piggie pics. Her feedback is terrible! Wow!

 

[panda0410]

This lovely lady has sold some very obvious fakes in the past. I'm not sure if all of the current listings are fake without some scrutiny, but TBH I wouldnt buy from her anyway - she has used other sellers pics to sell pigments as well - namely hoangancahli's pics - you wouldnt really know what you were getting.....

 

[Xqueeze_me]

To answer the question, YES! The piggies are fakes!

ALL (well, most of the ones I clicked and saw) have really thick jar bases. Some I can also see the inconsistency with the "/" on the Net Weight description on the front of the box just below the display hole.

She also keeps User IDs private. Dodgy Dodgy DODGY!! Stupid seller (Sorry, just had to say that! hehehe).

I also agree with panda0410, I wouldn't buy from this seller, let alone look at her other auctions for more fake baddies!

Last minute add in: OH MY GAWD! The number of neutrals and negatives. Obviously dishonesty shows but some buyers are just ignorant?? SERIOUSLY!
