I researched here and spoke to the regional mgr at my local MAC (she wa sin for their Hello kitty event)...and she confirmed it--Now, some MUA's workign there didn't evenr ealize but the manager knew. So I know 100%. I ahve 60+ pigments--I analyzed EACH jar and pulled the ones I suspected as fake--and sure enough, all of them had this oddity in the jar.... it was unacnny--some had shiney lids, some had good looking fonts...but they ALL had the bad jar detail. then other things became evident--the labels are odd--I compared my real Macpro.com-purchased pigments...the labels are consistent--and the Naval Blue and French Violet I got from her are clearly off...once I had the fakes isolated my eyes sharpened and I could see the oddities--they tend to be a little different between pro and reg pigments but consistent between the two buckets. Maybe she believes they are real--if you tell yourself somehting enough times you can believe it. heck, I wanted to believe it--more than anything. But I won't jeopardize my eyes for the same of $100, as painful as wasting that money is. |

If you paid via Paypal, you can return the items even if she says no -- just report that the seller sold you "fake" or items which were materially different from what she stated... this reported to Ebay and Paypal (which are the same thing) should bring some action. Since you already left positive feedback, they might deny it, but it might be worth the try. Don't leave feedback until you have received merchandise and have thoroughly checked it

I had the same problem with some lip glasses awhile back. Even though my seller was nice about it. It just isn't worth putting the crap on your face! I know how you feel! It really made me stick to MAC counters and CCO's. Sorry you had a bad experience

She claims she is "not ordering any more pigments from her supplier [i.e., wholesaler] but will "sell out her inventory." i asked her how she cancontinue to sellf akes and she replied "I have no personal reason to believe they are fake." the disputes are closed and I have my $120 back. I have also been lucky enough to replace all the fakes with the genuine pigments either from my friend who ordered from macpro.com or the few honest sellers I found who got them at CCOs. All verified 100% Authentic--I posted the good sellers in that thread for others to see. HUGE thanks again to everyone here--I never would have been able to rid myself of the potentially dangerous fakes and get my hard-earned money back.
