Don't quote me on this, but I think it's fake. A 190 brush is NOT a contour brush, it's a foundation brush. But the seller might have just mislabeled it.

I'm not too great at telling if brushes are counterfeit or not, but that's my take on it, get a few more opinions first.

Hi Ladies,

I found the below website helpful in determining authenticity of full size Mac brushes, its doesn't show a comparison to the L.E ones though.

(I hope the link works properly as it has been translated in google)

To me those look authentic and seem to be from Novel Twist basic brush set (Nordstrom exclusive).

Well I just found 2 other fakes sellers, they might already have been listed here. One I have reported, the other I bought a full jar cause the price was good and I wanted to make sure her's are fake. Well the pigment is fake but the glitter was o.k, here is her name suem427 . I usually try and spend more time catching fake sellers but have been so busy latley so it's nice having a little time to do it here and there.

A quick follow up, she's refunding my money and sending the jar to her wholesaler. I checked her feedback and it is good. I also placed 1 order with her awhile back and that one (a glitter) was authentic. Maybe she didnt know or she did but I'd hate to give her the title of a "fake" seller if she's being honest...

After talking with the seller I mentioned yesterday she's not a bad seller, just new to the business. she's going to start sending me some of her full jars so I can check to make sure they are the real thing. 2 out of 3 jars I have gotten from her in the past were Authentic MAC so I dont want to put a label on her when she seems like a very kind and decent person. I'll keep you all posted

This seller, julie150463, appears to be selling some of the latest fakes, assuming the photo is of the actual item she has MAC Pigment - full size - Deep Blue Green - BNIB on eBay, also, Eye Shadow, Make-Up Cosmetics, Health Beauty (end time 14-Mar-08 20:59:16 GMT)

Agreed. Frustrated but can't do anything at all.

 

[rockin]

I have ASQ'd her to advise her that it is fake, and advise withdrawal from sale, as the fact that she has actually shown all those pictures suggests to me that maybe she is unaware

 

[rockin]

The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale.


Either she's acted on my email, or she's had a complaint from someone else

 

[rockin]

She's emailed to thank me and said she would withdraw it immediately. Seems she is probably a good seller after all

Would I be correct in thinking this is also fake? MAC Pigment - full size - Basic Red - BNIB on eBay, also, Eye Shadow, Make-Up Cosmetics, Health Beauty (end time 06-Mar-08 21:00:56 GMT)

If so, then they are also now putting the code numbers on the label with the name. It appears to have a translucent label, and the inside of the plastic insert looks wrong to me, along with the clarity of the writing on the inside of the jar

Guess who's back, back again? Dodgy fake, MAC sellers are back. Tell a friend!

Its a good thing I looked on here today! I saw that last night and wondered if it was fake or not and was watching it. Also I think sinful_sexy23

is selling fakes. Her feedback doesn't look good - full of MAC eyeshadows with "applicators and mirrors". BEWARE!

Sorry if someones already spotted her and said before and I've not noticed...

 

[rockin]

Their current eyeshadow listings don't mention mirrors or brushes, but they certainly appear to be fake. The catches on them are clearly wrong, and it says POEDS instead of POIDS on the front of the box.

 

[rockin]

Reported, even though I doubt ebay will do anything about it!

Excellent. They did look rather iffy the way the light was falling on the rim looked like outy rather than the normal inny rim to me...if that makes sense...but couldn't be sure. Seller is definatly dodgey though.

The amount of times I've bought on ebay and i've only been scammed once as far as I can tell so I count myself lucky! I was quite naive till I read how to spot fakes, I'm seeing them everywhere now! Good on ya for reporting them!

I am pleased to be able to report that julie150463 is a responsible seller

Following on from her earlier immediate withdrawal of her deep blue green pigment when I advised her it was fake, she has now sent me this email




Hi there
Just wanted to thankyou for emailing me this morning concerning one of my pigments. You have done me a great service - on closer inspection it appeared that 89 - yes 89 - of my pigments from one particular wholesaler were decidedly suspect. After a couple of heated emails - they have agreed to take them back and refund me - how long that takes is another matter but at least my conscience is clear.
Thankyou for taking the time to inform me of your suspicions - it is appreciated.
