Seller used to work for MAC?!

[BellaItalia1969]

See what you make out of this...seller has some Mac pigments,for sale...auction states "i used to work for MAC and inherited many products etc etc " <sigh> all these sellers of previously owned MAC

Some of the photos show the usual fake pigments but then I know that you cannot always rely on piccys!

If [email protected] worked for M·A·C they would undoubtedly have been sacked for selling fake M·A·C products.

Here's one of the items being listed; BNIB Eyeshadow Pigment Full 7.5g Pale Golden Shimer A28

Lol hun with pleasure :
4 oz /110 g of plain flour
pinch of salt
2 large eggs( i use free range cos of my kids)
7 fl oz/200 mls milk(semiskimmed is fine ),mixed with 3fl oz /75mls water
2oz/50g butter

You will also need a good solid 18 cm or 20 cmfrying pan, some kitchen paper, a palette knife or flexible pan slice, and a ladle.
Sift the flour and salt into large mixing bowl,now make a well and add eggs into it,mix it with fork or whisk,then gradually add the milk&water mixture,still whisking,DON'T worry about any lumps they will eventually disappear .Whisk it one more time until you get consistency of like thin cream.By this point i usually lose my will to live lol
Now leave the mixture to stand for about 20min, somewhere cool.
Make sure the frying pan is really hot before you pour the pancake mixture in ..serve with whipped cream or the less fattening version is sprinkled with some lemon juicy and icing sugar.Buon Appetito Shoegal

Re ilovechimp2008 i also sent her a couple of emails about her 'serpent green' pigment she had for sale. she also had ones called 'tropical pink' and other bizarre names. Anyway, I asked her which green it was as there are a lot of greens and to tell me what it says on the sticker on the bottom. She replied saying the sticker had been scratched off. So then I replied and asked her to take a photo of the top of the box, the bottom of the box and the bottom of the jar. She responded that she doesn't have time to do that and was dumbfounded when i asked her if the pigments were authentic. She said she didn't know that there were fake pigments around. She also said that she used to work for Mac and all the pigments were samples but she didn't know the real names of the pigments. Hello, correct me if I'm wrong but if you used to work for mac wouldn't the names of the pigments pretty much be tattooed on your brain?? Anyway, the next time I checked they had all been removed. I wondered what had happened so now I know!

Hi
I'm in Brisbane, Queensland. Nice and warm

Yes, it is a long way for you but if you have rellies or friends here that you can stay with you should take the plunge and take advantage of it. Also, lots of good airfares around now. Come in summer time!!
