    OMG! I don’t know why, but when I got home last night from a “MAC PARTY” I bought some eye shadows, foundation, lipstick (heatherette), lip liner, some lip balms and a brush set. Something told me some of the things looked fake! I totally bought fake MAC eyeshadow, I no that now, but now I’m wondering about everything else! The one thing I could see was that the Mineralized foundation was real, but when I saw the packaging for a foundation stick I bought at this party called studio fix fluid I knew something was up! I checked the actual MAC site & compared the product I bought along with what the actual product was on the mac’s website & I totally got dooped! I have to say I’m really upset & I’m not happy because I trusted a friend who said that the person holding the MAC party was an actual MAC employee who got some product from being a distributor of MAC so here we were thinking we bought MAC products & being the little investigator I am, these products are not real!!!

    I got hustled to. I bought a palette for my daughter who said it might be fake, when I got home and got on the MAC website they only had 4, and 15 compacity palettes. Mine has 12. But the same person was selling brush sets for $50 and $200 dollars. They were fake to - all black with the MAC name on them. The MAC website brushes are black and silver. BEWARE, I’m so glad I didn’t pay $50 for the brush set.

  Oh goodness, Id never imagine anyone that would attempt to replicate the well known shadows. Brushes yes, but eye shadows?? I immediately ran to my traincase and compared the boxes of the shadows that I bought on Ebay to the ones I bought @ the M.A.C store.. Phew!! Authentic!

  i am super shocked. these manufacturers should be stopped, it’s not even a good fake. no wonder someone on youtube asked how many grams are the shadows, i thought what kind of question is that, now i know why.

  Be careful about the gram question. The MAC site itself has the eyeshadows listed as 1.5g/0.05oz now. So, not all that are 1.5g are fake. These on here, however, look EXTREMELY fake. It’s a crying shame.

  The word “poids” which means weight in French has been misspelled in the fake as “poeds”

  macys does not sell anything fake. the products at the mac counters there are 100% authentic.

  Rosiedaisy: You are totally right! The word is spelled incorrectly.

  thankyou so much Puresbuzz for putting this up. I’ve totally memorized the differences, and when I think about it I want to tell myself I would have easily called the bluff, but I admit I don’t really look at the packaging that close when I buy it. This is disgusting and gets me so irrate! Hopefully no one else becomes victim of this scam. MAC lovers unite!<3<3

  LOL. I live in TDot and if you go downtown, China Town, you see these mini stores in the mall that see a whole bunch of MAC products. They look exactly the same as the real thing. But with that picture, there really is a difference! Haha. I’m still wondering if the fake products work as well or if they’re comparable. (Totally bad how they sell them)

  Why would there be a market for fake mac, i mean, it is not as good as it. The quality would be lacking in some regard. I was thinking about going to ebay to buy some, good thing i’m addicted to pursebuzz!

  [Reply]
  • At 2009.09.10 23:16, husbandand2girls said:

    no only is the quality not any good, it’s not M.A.C. There are some real M.A.C items for sale, but it really hard to tell which is which if you don’t know what to look for. I can advise you that anything that is being bought from over seas 9 out 10 times is fake. Be careful.

  You will be happy to know that I was one that got got with the fake M.A.C makeup from Ebay. I was so happy to have bidded a lot of e/s for the amount that I did, I was jumping for joy. It wasn’t until I actually got(this was in the beginning of my makeup stages….early last year)that I noticed it was not the real thing. I compared some of the e/s containers that I owned to the ones that I recieved from winning the bid. I vowed to never by M.A.C makeup from Ebay again. My as well do it right, and by it from the store. I must admit, there are some real M.A.C makeup to be bought, but I work right across the street from a M.A.C counter anyway. Be very careful ladies…..it really is out there. Thanks for sharing PB!!!!
