Well, i did read many many pages and looked at the guides, some of the print looked slightly bolder, and i wasnt sure if it was my just being over cautious or if they were fake... ehe I had actually just bought a lot of "mac pigment and glitter" samples from a seller in Canada... i knew something was wrong when i saw how powdery they were, and got some authentic ones to compare, definately fakes... looking through the sellers feedback i noticed she 1 week before starting to sell her 'mac pigments' bought a lot of 24 Nyx loose pearl eye shadows... oddly enough, in some of the same colors i got from her, she also bought "mac like" glitters just before too(one or two of the pigments might be authentic, but the rest are definately not)... I wrote to her and said that i thought they were fake, and that they looked very similar to the nyx she bought just before, and again, oddly enough(within 5 mins of me sending the email), Set her feedback to private. I pretty much knew i got burned, opened a dispute with paypal and tried to write her several more times asking for a refund. I finally got a response that i had a creepy attitude(how im not sure, i just wanted my money back), and she called me a freak, then went on to say she was "an 18 year old girl and i cant do anything cause shes not legal in her providence" ... Real nice huh? Not sure if i will get my money back, or if there really is anything i can do, but next time i will be more careful..
anyway, that really got me freaked out thinking maybe i bought some fake full sized, i guess the variations are a bit more noticable, but forgive me! im a virgin! i had no comparison really ehe
Thanks so much for the help though, Greatly appreciated!
