My last coment as i have a life to get on with, Theres no reasoning with people obviously out on a witch hunt.
Smashbox China has legal paperwork to show they were granted the smashbox trademark by the chinese goverment.
For these items to be called fake/counterfeit it will be down to smashbox USA to sue smashbox china for copyright infringement.
I have reported the original posting as it is slanderous and informed all the other users accused.
Legal disclaimer - I am in no way connected with smashbox china

I started this thread just to inform people (the manner I identified the suspect sellers is in similar fashion as used in this forum). I am sorry if you feel you have been violated. However not in any of those auctions I posted, did the seller say that these were produced by the chinese Smashbox, and not the - and I believe original - Smashbox. I think the buyers (at least majority) were blissfully unaware of that very important factor. In a situation like this before accusing others from slander, I would contact the customers (those that matter in this case) and would make sure they knew what they bought.
The way these items were sold and (re-sold) was very misleading and used to their advantage a well established brand name. Kalawtrd still doesn't mention on the auction descriptions that the items adverticed as Smasbox aren't really from that well know USA Smashbox, only on the "me" page does it have a note declaring that these are from another brand holder (I guess this is a recent addition). It still is a very fishy way of doing business.

The MAC eye brow pencil is an automatic 'twist up' type, it is not easily faked and is not viable for a counterfeiter to reproduce, so why bother?!!!
Dont be so bloody daft....A MAC eyebrow pencil in the shade 'Flatter' wouldnt be faked and she was sent a genuine item ...Please also be aware that she received 12 items in total and was refunded in full and she sold ALL of them on although claiming 2 of them fake & getting a FULL refund...
I am now aware of 6 sellers she had claimed 'fakes' from and is still selling on in job lots !!!!
Shes a thief , and nothing but , and shes using this forum to get freebies.....check Out her recent feedback on ebay shes still doing it!!!!!
FEEL PROUD OF YOURSELVES - GO GET A LIFE !!!!
