I'd wait on one of the pros to get here, but looking at the two auctions where she's offering 2 pigments each in them, one of the bottles in each of those listings looks funny... The Softwash Grey and the Entremauve bottles have really fat printing where the second dot touches the C of the MAC logo. And maybe it's just my eyesight this evening, but the Softwash Grey's cap looks a bit tall compared to the others.

I recently ended up with a fake jar, and it's writing looks just like those two. My authentic MAC jars of pigment have crisp, clean writing that's DEFINITELY separate from the dots between the letters.

Just me, but I've started asking for photos of the bottoms and backs of the original jars before I purchase them.

Thanks for the feeback Sonya! I asked the seller a question and she contacted me and offered to send me a large version of the picture of her bottles, so maybe that'll help in figuring out what's what. She seemed very friendly and helpful in her email, so hopefully that's a good sign, but I'm going to wait to buy until I know for sure!

I haven't been on here very long and I certainly don't have a big ebay experience but may I suggest BeverleyBelle? I got three discontinued fluidlines from her and apart from a very fast delivery, the packaging was very good, products arrived in excellent condition, her prices are reasonable plus she included a free gift (which she didn't have to). I expect to be shopping with her again.

I've used her and she'd definitely reliable. Bought 2 full sized pigments and she also sent a BN little Bonne Bell lipsmacker. I'd use her again.

And it's the real thing too.

I agree. They won't even take Cdn funds. I tried to purchase from them and have it shipped to a US address but they woulnd't take my Cdn credit card even... and emails are lost in the twilight zone. They're automated and don't even seem to reach a flesh-n' blood human being.

Awesome deals though (*sniff*)

UPDATE: I received these and they're real. And they're spectacular. (Hmmm, I'm probably dating myself with that reference.) I would definitely purchase from Addicted2MAC again - she couldn't have been nicer, sent freebies (chartreuse glitter and mixing medium

), packaged the pigments beautifully and sent them out right away. Can't recommend her highly enough.

here are my fav's...
MAC_MOCHA in U.S.A - sells generous sized authentic pigment samples and they arrive quite fast...shipping is very reasonable and i have purchased samples for her about 5 times... good little jars and nicely packed and labeled! extremely nice lady... REPLIES TO EMAILS!!! ships to canada! combines shipping!

janicea2001 in U.S.A. - purchased wb mixing medium from her and great service! sent out next day... good shipping prices! nice lady! ships to canada quite fast! HUGE SAMPLES!

alcylonetrading in U.K. - purchased discontinued pigment samples from her and ended up getting someone elses parcel! worried, i contacted her and she told me to keep it and she would refund my money or send my original parcel... sent out my original parcel with free pigment samples!! in total i got more bonus' than stuff i paid for!!! AWESOME LADY! combines shipping!

ok... so here's the latest in no-fun ebay sellers...

rtfm62 JUST DON'T BOTHER, WAAAY TOO MUCH OF A WAIT AND SAMPLES ARE VERY SMALL.

gingerpett - her MAC brushes are authentic

eValueville- fast shipping, MAC is authentic, BN and VERY cheap
kilomydog- great prices, free shipping, fast shipping, authentic MAC
beautybiz_com- great prices

 

[shiel]

i'm quite new with ebay, but i had fantastic experience with these two sellers

wc-racer - reasoable prices, the shipping took a while, but she noted me for it so great communication
hcortez43 - fair prices and very fast shipping. stuff arrived in a week

I'm almost positive that 2 Laura Mercier brushes I bought from gingerpett were fake. I ended up buying a LM Crease brush from Sephora and it was markedly different than the one I purchased on ebay. The closest Laura Mercier counter is at least 3 hours away from me so I wasn't able to research before I bought them. I've pretty much stopped buying makeup on ebay. There are way too many scammers on there now compared to just a couple of years ago.

for an answer -- I'm curious too!

 

[peebs]

Anyone familar with jewelryguysny? I bought a pigment/glitter lot from him and was very unimpressed with the packaging. Instead of comming in little jars, they are in little flip top paint by number cases. When you open them they spill a little.

I'm new to pigments and am wondering if they are real?

 

[Tinkerbell9245]

its hard to tell fake pigments from pictures, you may want to take pictures of them and someone may be able to help you

I just wanted to recommend closetmustgo and allmistymandy who were very good sellers
