Can anyone tell me if this palette is real? I really like the look of it but don't want to be stung, the person has a lot of BB stuff and some MAC shadows for pretty cheap.

Here's the link

Am I the only one that thinks that 90% of NARS brushes on ebay are false? :S

Quick Question:
I recently received a NARS duo in a swap that I'm not sure is real or fake. What makes me suspicious is that on the back of the duo, the sticker is not square like my duos I've bought from Sephora, but it has rounded corners. The sticker itself also has different information than my other duos.
It says the following:

Name of the duo
NARS logo and TM symbol
Distributed by
Agora Cosmetics, Inc.
Net Wt. 0.14 OZ. (.4 G)
Made in USA

What made me suspicious other than the rounded corners was the Agora cosmetics, inc. I only have a few duos (all purchased in the last year or so), so I'm not sure if this is a old duo issue or not.

Any help would be appreciated!

There are tonnes of fake NARS palettes on Ebay UK.

They're so ridiculously fake, square packets with slices of shadow, not the usual squares you get from NARS.

e.g:

NARS 4 EYESHADOW ANGELIKA 402 BLACK,SILVER,WHITE,GREY on eBay (end time 10-Oct-09 0824 BST)

I agree! I think about 99% of all brushes on eBay are fake

Thanks everyone, this thread has been very helpful. I guess I was naive thinking that NARS wouldn't be faked as much as MAC

I am just getting into NARS and wanted to try their blushes so now I know I will only buy from Sephora or Nordstrom, ect.

I was wondering if anyone knew if the Blush Duos are faked? Someone on another website wanted to trade with me and I am leery of it because she said she doesn't have a camera so no picture of the duo. And she has no feedback. Think I will just buy it from Sephora.

And still people buys them, even knowing they are false!

A whole universe of counterfeit items here! Try searching MAC and you'll get false products too. Some of them are also on ebay.

Hi!
I bought some NARS products from Strawberrynet - are these real or fake?

I've noticed something that might spark some controversy here... I've received my Yachiyo brush directly from NARS (ordered online directly from narscosmetics.co.uk, I'll post picks in two or three days). I also have a NARS counter in my city (Selfridges in Birmingham). The MA's here have brushes that they use on display in a sort of tumbler. The Yachiyo brush there is DEFINITELY not the same brush I received. Mine's wrapped in wisteria and soft, whereas they use a Yachiyo wrapped in reed that is quite scratchy.

What am I to make of this? Do they use lower-grade brushes for everyday purposes and application because the real deal would be too expensive? The production of both lower-grade and high-grade brushes must be very cheap anyway, since they're all made in China.

By the way, this is the Albatross / Orgasm duo I bought. There's the 'container made in Italy, modelle depose' on it. But it is GENIUNE, straight from narscosmetics.co.uk:

Hope this helps!

PS: I don't know why it doesn't let me post pictures as they are. They aren't exceeding size limits (640x800, right?)

People make Counterfeit make up?

Wow I have lots to learn!

 

[michieme]

Now after reading this whole thing I am going to stick to buying my NARS products from Sephora only (NARS doesn't ship to Canada

) It seems that even swapping for it may be a risk. It may be expensive in the end but a much safer route to go.

Have there been any sightings of fake cream blushes?

 

[godsgirl619]

Does anyone know if their foundations were/have been faked?

ive been a crazy nars fan since 1999, that is fake. there are no palettes that are all eyeshadows on both sides. the eyeshadows are alwasya rectangular in the palettes, the squarer ones would be lipsticks. and the square lipsticks are always on the right. DEFINITELY fake!

 

[chickatthegym]

^ Exactly

And most things on iOffer that are sold in huge wholesale lots are FAKE FAKE FAKE!
