The Grey is one of the numerous fakes floating around ebay. The owner of the Grey is a seller trying to do the right thing and unfortunately bought more than she will probably care to remember in bulk from another ebay seller.... trying to get her $$ back. Not sure where the Jewelmarine came from - the same seller sent this to me with the Grey for comparison, again one of the numerous Jewelmarine glitters found on ebay atm and again she bought many from an ebay seller

i just checked my jewelmarine by swatching, and it looks like the genuine one. do glitters have the batch number on the bottom label? mine does not. it is just clear with black writing (like a mac pro pigment) saying the name.

Yup same as mine

Think you're ok

Thanks for the comparisons

Hmm, I'm thinking the Jeweled Marine I bought a little while back off Ebay is a phony bologna

Same with Deep Blue Green. I can't believe Ebay isn't doing anything about all this counterfeit MAC being sold. It's a shame. It's better to pay the extra money and get it at a MAC store. Atleast you know the products you are paying for a real and not fake. Lesson learned.

So I started going through my glitters and I think I spotted a couple of fakes.

I'm really having a hard time identifying what is real and what isn't. I'm trying to compare them (the ones I bought off other sellers) to the ones I bought from the MAC counter and I'm so lost...

 

[panda0410]

Can you post some pics?

 

[dangerousmuffins]

Would there be any possibility of reposting the pics?

I've heard about a lot of fake grey glitters, some of my buyers have been buying samples to compare to the ones they got. The pictures they have sent are crazy, the glitters are awful and for sure fakes.

Someone mentioned fake deep blue green, yep stay away from that color, many fakes of it on ebay

I've also been seeing sample sellers again on ebay, has anyone else notice that?

Heres one and the seller doesnt give the name of the glitter...bad feedback but there are 2 people bidding on it. They have quite a few listing of different colors.

First fake pigments, then eyeshadow, glitters, lip products,ect I originally thought they would all get busted and the fakes would stop. Now 1-2 years later it's a huge business and besides reporting them to Ebay, what can people do??
