Its sad but a reality . When i first got into makeup- I had a hard convincing myself to pay $14-$15 on a lipstick. So in a effort to save money , I went to ebay . Looking for a deal. Since i was a rookie i had no clue what was real or fake . I didnt even know what to look for. I never bought anything from ebay out of fear of not getting it or it not being real. But alot of people are just clueless and want some mac and a deal. One of my friends sent me a pic not to long ago with a Mac "haul'. Some guy at her school was selling it a discount. she spent like $75 with him and it all was fake. I had to break the news to her and she was P.O. She just didnt know. :(

Whenever I'm on a certain bus route, I pass a small table with MAC and Estee Lauder products set up right on the sidewalk. I'm always curious as to what for sale, but I know most, if not all of it, is completely fake.

Honestly...they could have just depotted the original colors out of it and then put perm lipsticks in the packaging. Or if they have the set up for it they just made fake packaging (considering how lucrative the black market is for all kinds of things this wouldn't be impossible at all). :shrugs:

Just reported each and every single one. Hate seeing things like this. I just did a comparison of my TTT and those fakes... they tried, but not hard enough.

Absolutely ridiculous! I hope eBay does something about it before someone who isn't familiar in the slightest bit with the actual colors gets shafted buying those. Who the heck knows what brand those even are or what they're made of.

From what I heard, it's a 'grey market' matter. This is what usually happens with grey market products: One company has a contract to make official products/components and make them according to specs, and ship the components to the contracting company. However, some component manufacturers would continue to make these components 'after hours' and sell the components to another company that would use the component for making "unofficial" products, only available in that country. The most common example would be the limited edition Nike sneakers. One company would use the insole molds after they are contractually done and make new insoles and would make "knock-off" type items.

Sometimes legit companies would procure grey market items and sell them regularly. I myself got took when I ordered a monitor from a legit computer electronics store; when it shorted out, I found out that it was a product only to be sold in Europe.
