I think I found a Fake

[greentwig]

I think that this is a fake, the lettering around the cut out looks fake and the well pretty much the whole box looks fake to me.
Please let me know what you think. Thanks - LH

Yup, you found a fake! The spelling on the box gave it away.

Instead of "BRILLIANTS", the one on the box spell "BRILLANTS". Dodgy!

It should look like this instead?

ps: I'm not very familiar with MAC Glitters but I wouldn't buy make-up with spelling mistakes on the box or on the items itself.

Yup, fake...spelling error like mentioned above..and also the label on the top of the box is silvery instead of black black (although I'm not too familiar with glitter boxes either)

You'd think the fakers could at least invest in a spell-checker!!

Cool thanks everyone. Hmm...well what do i do now? Can i report the person or something?

 

[Simply Elegant]

Go ahead and report them.

 

[greentwig]

Ok thanks everyone I will do that right now. =D
I really dont know how, but im sure i'll figure it out lol
I'll have to report the other box that I saw like that one yesterday also.

O and MissChevious I love your Photography blog, I <3 photography also, you are very photogenic, I dont think I am. Very nice photo's though

 

[greentwig]

Well I guess you cant report someone unless you have an e-bay account

(( I dont have one, my boyfriends mom buys our makeup. Will someone report that person 4 me, i'll try to find the other fraud listing that I found and post it here 4 someone to report also.
Thanks - Lisa

They're too cheap to invest in a spell-checker. Its just SHAMEFUL, really. I despise them! They embarrass genuine and honest people of the same race! Idiots! (No racism intended!!)

[greentwig]

Thanks very much

, im still trying to find the other fake that I saw. I'll try to find soon.
Thanks - Lisa

Uh Oh.. I saw a lot of the Glitter "Brillants".. Even genuine MAC sellers are selling them!!!

Jewelmarine
3D Silver

What do you girls think??

I've also checked some other websites and they are spelled as Brillants.

 

[red]

Brillants is French, may be correct if it was made in Canada. But I thought the words Glitter and Brillants (Brilliants) were suppose to be on 2 lines

 

[greentwig]

I dont know...those boxes look so fake...I always see the words on to lines like the lnks you posted Xqueeze_me .
Hmm >.<

Jewelmarine - From ginger4ny. Glitter first line, Brillants second line.
Jewelmarine - From hoanganhcali. Glitter first line, Brillants second line.
3D Silver - From hoanganhcali as well. Glitter first line, Brillants second line.

So the one that lhorgan posted, Light Green is definitely fake!? The Glitter Brilliants is on one line surrounding half of the circular display hole.

This Crystalled Lime definitely looks as dodgy as the Light Green one.

MissChievous: I think *I* should invest in a French dictionary!!

hehe

Here's another one I found.
http://cgi.ebay.com/MAC-GLITTER-SAMP...QQcmdZViewItem
and another
http://cgi.ebay.com/MAC-GLITTER-SAMP...QQcmdZViewItem

All of the others have 2 lines of text.

Well I just signed up for e-bay 4 myself so I can report people.

O and has anyone bought from a seller named: "thebodyneeds" ???

I want to get some pigment samples from them so I thought i'd see if anyone else has be for.
Thanks - LH

Some of "thebodyneeds" pigments are fakes! She does have a good amount of authentic ones, but not all of them.

 

[lolemily]

Even if they were real I don't think I'd want to buy from a brand that can't spell properly.
