I've got a huuuuuuge list of MAC products im going to buy when i get paid and as i was searching ebay i found listings of a few of the items i want but am a bit wary of buying them because of all the "good" fakes around at the moment. I live in the UK and some are USA listings but i thought maybe buying from the USA they would be cheaper. Ive never tried this our before and before i do i need to make sure all the items ive got my eye on are genuine, If anyone could help check these 7 items out i would be SO grateful, thanks in advance!

To me everything looks fine except for the brush. I don't know too much about the Mac brushes, so I really can't say on that one.

All the items except the brush look OK, I would be dubious about the brush, poppys_paradise is a lovely person to deal with and she only sells genuine items she sometimes has the odd brush

I bought a couple of brushes recently from puppetjg, and on checking with people here, then comparing them with the pictures on the MAC website, I discovered that they were both fakes.

I have ASQ'd the seller, but have received no response

The brushes I bought were a 239 and a 266


Would anyone be able to tell me whether these items are allright? I have ASQ'd the seller and asked for a picture of the bottom of the jar, and a clearer one of the paint tube, but wondered in the meantime what you thought of them and this seller

The seller seems to have a lot of MAC (as well as other things) for sale, including a few bulk lots

Avoid these sound like some fakes doing the rounds a while ago with A08 A09 on the label Its the base label that alarms me I wonder if this seller has removed the dodgy labels You could ask for a photo of the base and the base should have coltainer 3 and some other digits on

Error at packaging plant my ass! MAC would just relabel them like they have done in the past (reason why some pigment jars have stamped batch codes instead of printed).
They dont list the colour names. And they state that if no colour is given with payment silver glitter will be sent. Isnt silver glitter rare?
Ive already seen an occasional seller with 2 'neon 60s' that look completely different. They are being bled into the 'once off sellers', which is worrying as if they have good packaging people may not know the difference. The inks etc used can be harmful - especially when used with wet products.
