Red,that baffles me too!
So basically some of the buyers are so ignorant although they know it's a fake ,they will still use it as long as it looks good on their makeup shelf and in their handbag
oh man !I don't understand that sort of mentality ,i hope Im not offending anyone but you must be so shallow if you feel that you MUST own brand names even if it's counterfeit!!!!!!!! Rant over

My response if I get a fake anything and this can be quoted.... Fake items...may cause cancer or worse. Beware of seller. I have a few items coming in from a seller here on states side and everyone will know who left that feedback if they see it. Copyrighted.

Exactly but some people are more into the fact that they look rich with the stuff. I have seen many a girl with fake handbags looking down their noses at me when my handbags are all authentic. One had a fake LV murakami bag with yellow LV's on and came over to me to tell me that my bag was fake
.
I saw one genuine palette but I still won't risk it because you never know, I'd rather pay the bit extra for piece of mind or scour Specktra for trusty sellers

Hi! We would like to ask for your assistance in detecting and stopping this seller form further passing off fake MACs as the real thing.
We were recently victimized by eBay seller innerbeautyrevealed, who claimed that her MAC items came from Macy's. When the parcel arrived, it was chock-full of fake stuff.
We contacted MAC, and they did verify that the items are fake. They also informed us that the the seller, Julie McClellan Bowles / Inner Beauty Revealed is not an authorized reseller. It turns out that MAC and Macy's do not sell floor displays, and they certainly don't look anything like what the seller sent. We asked for a verificaiton letter. However, neither MAC nor Macy's would entertain further inquiries since the items were not bought from them.
May we ask for your assistance? Could you please tell us what you think of these photos?
Package from Inner Beauty Revealed - a set on Flickr
fake MAC pigment - a set on Flickr
MAC pigments - a set on Flickr
fake MAC loose powder - a set on Flickr
Juicy Couture Crittoure - a set on Flickr
Lancome Powder - a set on Flickr
on eBay, she sells these fakes for $19-20 each! Item numbers include:
item: 110422542962
item: 110431238172
item: 120457235741
item: 110431236081
item: 110422542899
item: 110431235992
item: 110422543088
item: 110422543015
item: 120465973221
item: 110431236022
If you enlarge the pics on her store page, you will see that the logos are not consistent or uniform. There are many other discrepancies. But eBay requires that we submit an evaluation, other than by us, to stop this seller.
Your assistance will go a long way in helping us find justice, and helping many other people as well. Your comments can determine whether this seller will continue to victimize buyers further.
Stopping sellers like innerbeautyrevealed can also lead buyers to the right sellers.
So please, do post your findings, or email us at [email protected]
Thank you

I've actually bought these out of curiosity. Did google mac mini lipsticks, but couldn't find anything, so decided to take the risk for that price. I thought i did see writing mac on the lids, but will be able to report back, when I get them sometime this or next week.
About misspellings. How about this lovely example
mac powder select sheer/prseede 12g brand new in box on eBay (end time 07-Sep-09 19:59:39 BST)
It was meant to be "pressed powder" I'm guessing. And still 10 bids on this shit!

Hmm, not that I can remember. Also, genuine mac lipsticks have black plastic lids, and they're black inside and out, these appear to be a lighter colour on the inside of the lid. Also, the packaging for them looks really cheap.

I wasn't sure if they were fake or not because I googled the names and they were actual names of MAC lippies, the only thing that gave it away for me was the cheap boxing that all the lipsticks were in, I've never seen any MAC sold in something like that before .
And
@prseede, it's not even CLOSE to being pressed, I'd understand if it said pressde or pressd.

And that pigment is awful! I get so tired of reporting those stupid "cream" shadows with the sponge applicator and the mirror. Oh and the brush sets are bad too! It really sucks because some of the single brushes are hard to tell... oh but the "MACS" gives it away. What is up with that? They think since they are listing it as "MACs" that it's okay?!? I emailed a seller and told her that her palette was non-existant by MAC and that it was fake and she said, "I know, that's why I listed it as MACs." Of course she did NOT get shut down and is still listing a ton of stuff and selling it like crazy

I have never seen anything like that. I was thinking maybe MAC did a special set or something back in the day before I started collecting (pre-2005). Or maybe it was released just in the UK?
It looks suspicous though, and the packaging looks fake. Let us know how they turn out!

I cant beleive that some people list these items, here is a clear fake Pigment listing and there are people bidding on it. It's sad since many people have no idea if they are new to pigments.
NEW MACs Eyeshadow Pigment Dark Gray 7.5g - eBay (item 330359415142 end time Sep-16-09 14:53:29 PDT)
There are so many like this, I dont see how they get away with it. Ebay even allows known fake sellers sponcer & advertise their websites on search pages.

I actually asked ebay why they don't do more about the fake makeup and they basically said they have no control over it.
I'm pretty much stopping buying mac/makeup off ebay but I occasionally buy stuff not from recently released collections. I've reported quite a few fakes but its so time consuming that theres way too much to keep with only a tiny percentage of it.
I feel bad for the people that just have no idea that what they're buying is fakes. I bought a lot of fake pigments about a year ago because it just never occurred to me that there would be fake ones. But on the listings where it states that its fake or replica mac, I think the people who buy that deserve it. I won't purposefully buy fake mac but I'm now using the fakes I own to try to learn how to tell authentics from fakes.
