Fake MAC Cosmetics Alert!
Attention, MAC shoppers, the compact powders, eye shadows, and lip glosses made by MAC Cosmetics that we have all come to love seem to be getting knocked-off by a mischievous group of people. According to PurseBuzz, several people over the past few months have accidentally bought, in particular, fake MAC eyeshadow.
The only way to separate the real from the fake is by the mirror and the sponge tip. The MAC version never comes with a mirror or sponge tip. So, be safe and only buy your MAC cosmetics from the retailers that are listed on www.maccosmetics.com

Sigh...I have bought 13 fake M.A.C. eyeshadows. But that said; I am a makeup artist and I have had and been using them for a couple of weeks. I must say, the quality of these fakes is pretty good. I have never used M.A.C. before (I bought these on ebay to try them), but I have used a myriad of other names and these indeed have demonstrated to be of better quality than many. I am especially happy with the colors. I have a shade of Kelly green that I have only seen elsewhere at M.A.C. (though not, at the moment, on their website) and a wonderful bright Turquoise that is vibrant without being gaudy. I'm sad that I might not be able to replace it.
I feel like the "company", whoever it really is, ought to market the stuff under a name of their own and quit being so dishonest. I'm sure they can find a way to market themselves as a more affordable alternative to M.A.C. without being so sneaky.
Don't get me wrong; DON'T BUY FAKES IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!!! You don't know where they're made, by who, with what, etc....one of the principle reasons I wanted to try M.A.C. is because they have a reputation for high quality products AND they don't test on animals. Now I know nothing about what I'm using. But don't throw out what you've purchased if you're stuck with it. Use it. If you don't normally monitor the ingredients and/or origins of your cosmetics (which, sadly, most people don't) then why waste them?
Wow, I didn't even think that this would be out there. But I guess there are fake versions of everything, right?? :D
