a lot of her stuff looks ok, but i can see a few suspect items as well - some of the pigments don't look quite right to me and there's a couple of LE items that have been known to be counterfeited. the fafi glosses she is offering are also missing stickers.
hopefully someone who has purchased from her is on here, i can't say for sure on this one.

You sold 64 MAC items for $200???
And you don't list the colour names?
I dunno your products seem a little
ish to me.
Then again I could be wrong, that has happened once before

This seller sold me weird looking colors and I actually told her I want this or that ... blah. |

not enough details in any of her pics to be sure. i would be wary due to the low pricing and the fact that the seller has many often-counterfeited items.

Since we're on the subject, can anyone direct me to a thread posting legit Ebay accounts or refer direct Ebay accounts on which I can purchase MAC products? I'm new here, and I'm sure there's already a thread which I have yet to find. Greatly appreciated!!! My boyfriend once tried to suprise me with a brush set, but they turned out fake. He didn't know all MAC brushes had the No.'s on them, which were visibly missing. I'd like to avoid that!!

Add niuhuang9610 to the list of those selling fake brushes. I foolishly bought this 219 brush from he/she:
#219 M.A.C MAC Professional Makeup Eye Pencil Brush! - eBay (item 150309363588 end time Nov-13-08 20:32:07 PST)
I got it today & I compared it to my brushes from Macy's & it's definitely fake. I talked to someone from eBay who told me to file a dispute with Paypal which I will do in the morning.
They are selling tons of brushes. How do you report them so they can be taken off?

I really should have read this thread first.
mlrosati is most definitely selling knock offs.
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER!

I just received a fake blackberry and copperplate from this seller. Have sent an email, but waiting for a reply. I could tell the Honey Lust photo was "off" because mine doesn't look like that, but I had no idea the mattes were fake. Boxes scratch with nail, no code on back of boxes, and the MAC sticker on the back of the Copperplate, is in black and BEIGE. Anyone ever see this?

Found nothing, or very little here on the sellers listed so I thought I would ask
Also, I'm fairly new at identifying fake pigments, but this seller is new and looks a tad bit cutty to me. Agree? gretsmith27
Another new seller. No feedback 813fashion
Whacha think?

may_cup - i'm iffy on the pigments (they look wrong) and the brushes, the other items are hard to tell.
divabean13 - only a couple of MAC pigments, both known counterfeited colours. i would avoid due to that.
deepsea777727 - i see some shiny lids. best to avoid.
mommroxx -more shiny lids. avoid this one too.
storm471 - pigments are counterfeit, the boxes are wrong.
jlsdvs - counterfeit. jars are wrong, colour names are weird and the colours have numbers.
*letsmakeup1* - counterfeit pigments (shiny lids) and that lot of pigment vials is a bit of a worry.
813fashion - i suspect these are counterfeit due to the boxes.
gretsmith27 - seller has a few authentic items, but the full size pigment jars are not.

I recently purchased an eyeshadow from ebay user neutou (neu-to-u)
and though I don't see anything that screams counterfeit just yet, I am having a ridiculously hard time depotting this sucker. I've honestly never had so much trouble depotting a shadow, and am wondering if the what seems like unmeltable glue may be a sign that it's a knock off. I normally don't use fire to depot my shadows but after several failed attempts which included ruining the pan and cracking the shadow, I tried lighting it up, and STILL cannot get it out. I also see NO sign of the little melted hole that usually appears on the bottom of the insert.
Has anyone ever purchased from this user or had this dilemma?

Awesome, thanks
I didn't think any of them looked particularly promising and thought that the names should come up on a search here since I couldn't find anything on them.

Well, I finally got my answer myself.
Add user neutou store (neu-to-u) to the list of frauds.
I finally got my shadow out of the pot, and it is indeed a fake.
The pan had an indented ring and the glue was absolute crap/ nearly impossible to get off.
This user claims to be donating their proceeds to adults with disabilities too. It makes me question where the money is going. It's a shame..

I'm thinking about picking up a few Dazzleglasses from ebay. Are those being counterfeited as well? Just curious because there are some sold out colors I'd like to pick up, but the idea of fake lipgloss is just sooo gross.

Am I reading too much into this? Oh, and both are asking for immediate payment, and both have now started calling their pigments 'MAC Style'. The buyer that recently left feedback for nabeelkarim declaring their purchase of this item http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110181944079 to be "Beautiful, genuine mac products" (none of the other buyers of that item have yet left feedback) also comes from Leicestershire.

I contacted the seller who was apologetic and refunded my payment in full.
They were very nice about it, and maybe they weren't aware they were selling fakes, but I still don't recommend this seller if you're buying MAC products.
