When I finally got into lipsticks at the age of 38 ( 2012 ) my first one from MAC was Ruby Woo! Then I decided to get some from Ebay to see if I could get discontinued colors at a steal! Well the first 3 tubes of lipstick and 10 Lip gelee I ever won I thought I had really got a steal! Upon research...The lipsticks were all fake & so were the Lipgelee
Just how did I find out it was all counterfeit? The smell of the lipsticks (smelled like motor oil), The names of them didn't even exist & even worse...the caps from the fakes didn't not fit the tubes of real MAC lipsticks I brought from a real MAC Store! Nope! The caps were too big and didn't fit at all! The Lipgelees had names like "flesh pink, dark pink, crimson etc." and the smell of them was horrible! Even worse...the tubes had MISSPELLED WORDS! I contacted Ebay and the buyer and was able to recover my money back which was about $30 total. Being new the the makeup world I had no idea this was happening. No one is gonna sell you a lot of MAC products for way less than the actual price per item and I learned that the hard way! I don't even want to get into sellers who do have authenic MAC items but the price is nearly quadrupled so that's no good either! Rihanna Viva Glam was released yesterday and Ebay was flooded with sellers of the lipstick. The price for just the lipstick is ranging from $20 to $62. The lipglass is $26 to $47& to get both....smh....$45 to 130.80! Best to order from the MAC site itself or go to a MAC store and not only to you get authentic product...you get charged the normal price!
