This one is hard to say. The seller clearly states that these brushes DID NOT come with the brush case, so it may be possible that they are authentic brushes that were simply put into that case.
Having said that MAC hasnt sold brush sets (except the SE sets) for some considerable period of time, and I would be dubious unless I got better pics and close ups of the handles, ferrules and brush bristles to be sure.

yep same thing i was thinking, cuz that would be a great price to get the full sized brushes for that price..but im a little scared lol

*edit, ok just for the hell of it, i called the number listed on the site, dude said they were all out of the MAC brushes but had the Bobbi Brown ones, and then refers me to a seller on ebay "BargainPad" who sells MAC brushes..

interesting...lol

yes im bored at work on a holiday lol

Just ask for some close up pics and see what you get. If they wont do it then walk away

lol, ive gotten one brush from ebay that was a real 187.. havent tried my luck since lol, im starting to slowly accumulate real ones between CCO's and the MAC store lol

Brushes are hard business and I try not to buy from ebay unless I know the seller well. Most of mine have come from MAC, and they are terribly expensive - we have one brush here (#134) that retails at $104, ouch!!!

$104! Gosh, its no wonder that brushes are always in demand, and that their is such a business for counterfeits. You cant tell me that it costs anywhere near $104 to make and ship that one MAC brush (in bulk) to Australia?! Even if they were made one by one lol! Buying from trusted USA sellers is sometimes the smartest option IMO. I have issues paying 40-50 pounds for a single brush when i know 90% of the time im going to revert to (clean) fingers - its easier and more fun! I guess i just dont love MAC enough

Well, aside from what they've told you....Their ebay store no longer exists. I wouldn't trust them.

I reckon Australia's MAC is the most expensive RRP compared to other countries! :/
