Fake NARS/UD Naked palette

Hi all
So I live in Australia and getting NARS/UD here isnt easy. To get these I made an assisted purchase and got the UD Naked palette and the NARS blush in Orgasm.
When I pulled the blush out and looked at the box when the box is rotated to look at the back (ie, your looking at the NARS writing on the front and you just spin the box side ways not tilt it up) the writing on the back is upside down, when opening the box the blush was in a cardboard "slip" and once taking that off the blush itself the stick on the back is also upside down in the same manner as described above. The outside of the case is that velvet feel but inside around where the blush is held isnt like omg so gloss but its not the same velvet as the rest of the packaging.
With the UD Naked palette the box that the purple velvet bit sits in the sticker on the side is also upside down and the pans in the palette dont sit flush in the palette a few are sitting up like there is to much glue under one side of the pan.
I can take a few photos and upload if that helps anymore but I really hope you guys just tell me that they are the way they are meant to be and that Im just took picky because I paid a pretty penny to have the shipped to me...
Thanks for any help

I can't speak for sure about the NARS blush but as far as the UD NAKED palette is concerned it looks authentic. There was a brief time went quite a few ppl were complaining about the quality control of some of the palettes. Including fingerprints on brand new palettes and pans not sitting perfectly in the slots. They felt that UD was most likely rushing to meet the demand for the palette. HTH.

The NARS blush seems to be genuine. I compared it to my NARS blushes and all have that glossy part around the blush and the pan size seems to be accurate.
I checked my Naked palette, which i bought directly from Urban Decay web site two months ago and the text on the sticker seems to differ a bit. Mine say only "Made in USA" Doesn't mention "Bulk". Maybe yours might be from an older lot tough because it seems okay otherwise.

I can second that. My palette looks quite similar - it has one slightly raised pan and the scratched Naked logo. I bought mine at an UD counter.

I also had one with a scratched logo and it was bought from Sephora.
I have read a blog a while ago of someone who even bought it in store but had two sidecars in it. (ofcourse she returned it and got a new one)
