Them:
It is 100% AUTHENTIC as far as I know.
MAC has factories in many countries. Like a Toyota, the one sell in US is not the same, but slightly different as those in Europe, Asia, south America or Australia, might even be different from as close as Canada.
My sample brush are not intend for retail purpose, so it doesn't have the ''usual'' packaging like those you see in cosmetic counters.
All those name brand companies have 'private investigator agents' to comb through the web and ebay for counterfeits, they can tell from the pictures if its the real thing or not most of the time. Most people like you and me will not know what to look for. If they can't tell from the pictures, they usually will buy one for inspection. And you can sure they will contact ebay to have the item remove when they found one.
Everyone of my name brand brushes has been 'inspected or checked' by ebay before they can be appear of search by buyer, usually its many hours later after I list them, or the next day.
I want you to know, if you take any brush you buy from ebay or the web, and ask the lady at the cosmetics counter at department stories, they will tell you its not 'real'. Just think if everyone is buying from ebay or the web, those cosmetics ladies will NOT have a job. The other reason is those ladies are only low level employees only, they don't know the products well enough of any brands. And have no knowledge at all for '' their'' products selling in other countries. The only thing I believe they said is 'this brush is not the SAME as the one we are selling'. But not the same doesn't mean it's not authentic. Most brands make their brushes slightly different in other countries, their prices are quite different also.
Those companies don't want anybody to take a product from country A and sell it in country B.
Main reason is the local distributor is not making any money when you buy a brush from other countries. You know they have to pay a lot of money to get the RIGHT to sell in US, and no others are allow to sell in their territory. This is also the reason you can get it for such a low price. Skipping the middle-MENsss.
You know that the local distributor made lots of money on just one brush. If you go to ask the ladies at the cosmetics counter, do you think they will tell you ''your'' brush is 'real' and I'm so happy you can get one for such a good price. If the cosmetics lady tell you 'yes'. I believe she will be fired immediately. If not, sooner or later she will get layoff like me.
If you are not happy with this brush, please send it back for a FULL refund. I'll refund your FULL payment. The brush you got will be just like the pictures. Please let me know to expect the return if you are sending it back.
Sincerely,
Katie
