seller Yahoo!Taiwan ID: qpbdy
seller eBay ID: a23xqp (it's her email ID, I can't sure.)
I spent NT380(approx. USD11.70) for this brush. The seller emphasized that her items are new and 100% real (sounds ridiculous). She offers many well-known brand brushes for sale, eg. MAC, Bobbi Brown, Trish McEovy, NARS, Chanel and Givenchy etc. She also mackets brush sets, brush bags and some nutriments.
Hair shape & length
Metal part
**residual adhesive left.
The silver logo and type no.
Paint saggings
Country of origin
Wooden handle shade
Hair quantity
Nylon hair resilience
Please be careful when you wanna purchase brushes from the auction website.

im no expert on fake brushes but im shure that i would definitly fall for that and say its real without ever knowing any better.
What i was wondering when i read this was what if people buy a bunch of really good counterfits and buy real brushes from mac and then say they want to return the brushes but actually return the counterfits...hmmm i could see people doing that but maybe its just beacuse im really tired right now and need to sleep hahahaha

I definitely would not put it past them. People have returned fake purses to Nordstrom, so anything is possible.

I guess you can be grateful for that, at least. I got suckered by a counterfeit one on E-Bay and it shed HORRENDOUSLY. It was hard picking all the little black hairs off my face. I broke down and bought the real thing from Mac, and I don't have that problem. I still kept the fake though, because shedding slowed after washing and it is somewhat useful. I want to use it for applying foundation because I've read raves about the 187 for that, but I don't want to muck up my good one!

All the SE brushes are made in China... I don't have any big versions so I don't know where they're made! hmm...

i think i got the exact same one, but i didn't even try using it. it was already shedding! weird thing was, the seller insisted it was real, although she was willing to refund $25 (won the auction at $35), and let me keep the brush since she didn't want me to go through the hassle of sending it back to her in the States from Canada ....

Do all 187 country of origin font's look like that? I got a 187 recently from the store and my font looks exactly like the counterfeit font? I'm confused...

No - not all brushes have the country inprinted in that same font. I have several brushes store bought and they have differing fonts, two like the counterfeit shown here and 3 like the other one. I think people need to be really careful before deeimg items counterfeit - this 187 is clearly fake, it has several counterfeit markers, but that doesnt mean that ALL brushes with that same country imprint are.

I would only buy MAC brushes from MAC. They may cost a little more, but the performance compared to a counterfit brush makes it worth the difference. I'm not talking about just shedding,either. The 187 is designed to be multi use,if you bear down on it,the natural goat is a great buffing brush,the synthetic tips are great for foundation. You can also apply blush and powder as well-it is made for all that! A fake is just made to resemble the real thing-sometimes it only simulates the appearance and not the performance. If you want to save a few bucks,Sephora has a stippling brush of comparable quality to MAC's. Brushes are so important....you can get away with working with an inferior brand of makeup if you have to and you have really fine brushes. Brushes are an investment!

I got had, buying a fake 187 (not know it was fake) and it was money almost wasted..... (I refuse to toss it quite yet. I'm using it to sweep e/s and mascara flakes off my cheeks. Not what I had intended it for.)
My fake one sheed and bled like crazy, even after pooing it 10x. Yuck! It's of no good use for actual product application.
