That's the common 2 ways I guess. I have MAs who works for MAC telling me that sometimes they have a box or more new MAC items stolen when they're suppose be sent to the respective counters for sale. Yea, selling cosmetics is complicated!!

OMG that's really scary - perhaps I should retire - I'm far too trusting.

You can always try searching the Favourite eBay sellers/MUA swappers thread for recommendations in buying genuine MAC. No need to be scared!

I just shudder to think that I could've ended up being responsible for 'damaging' someone through ignorance. Not a great thought!

I've already scoured the favorite sellers list - and was relieved to see Cosmeticland0 on there - phew!
I will be devouring everyones great advice in an attempt to fully arm myself against the fraudsters

Thanks again

Julie

This is a double post - not everyone checks these seller threads!

OK - this is an MUA member. this person is a lying thieving little bitch who STOLE 3 x BNIB pigments and 1 x eyeshadow off me. Given that she frequently changes usernames (previous usernames listed) I have posted her details here so if you get asked to post anything to anyone at these addresses please dont do it - you WILL be stolen from because she is clearly a nasty little clepto who obviously cant help herself -

A friend of mine, bought the Deep Blue Green from her.
First of all thanks Panda

for the advice, I've sent my friend your response, hopefully she'll get her money back.
Here are the photos, the stuff looks pretty real

except for some minor details. These Fuc*** fakers are getting really good at it .. copying all the details ...

The fakes are getting really good! I've noticed the fake boxes will have a lot of scratches on them, and of course if you compare them to a real box they are lighter in color/writing.

This Is Really Weird, I Placed A Order At Mac And My Vanilla Wasnt Real. As Soon As I Opened It I Knew, It Had A Pink Tint To It Like Pink Opal. I Always Try And Make Sure 2 Have 2 Jars Of My Fast Sellers And Was Shocked When I Saw This. Everything Else Was Ok...., The Box, The Jars Marking, Ect. I Would Love To Hear Everyones Feedback On This. Tha Nkfully I've Been Doing This For Years And Was Able To Spot It Asap Once I Opened It. I Wanted To Let Everyone Know To Really Keep Our Eyes Open. I Dont Double Check The Colors I Order From Mac Or Mac Pro But Now I'm Going To. Once Again I'm Glad That I've Been Dealing With Pigments A Long Time And Was Able To Spot It. Since I've Been Over Whelmed With Sales I Havent Been Able To Catch Fake Sellers Like I Was. Time To Go Rest...working 9 12 Hour Days Has Put My Lupus In A Major Flare Up. Oh Dany, I Just Realized I'm Typing In All Caps, I'm So Sorry Everyone
