I would just like to say ...
Buying counterfeit anything (clothes, purses, cosmetics) is taking away from the actual company who produces it. I'd be hella pissed to make a product and have someone make an "exact" copy and sell it cheaper and who knows what they have made it with. Why make the company and employees suffer?
If you like the colour or don't want to spend the $. Find a dupe.
IF you are in doubt, make Google your best friend. For instance, you see a palette or eyeshadow or lipglass. Google the name or the collection*
I think we all know MAC doesn't make 120 eyeshadow with sponge tip applicators. Yet, I see quite a few on EBAY.
* I was on a website the other evening. I was looking at clothing and noticed they had cosmetics. I had to look. Low and behold they had hella MAC. I was interested in some of the blushes and pigments. They had Liberty of London eyeshadows with only the "color" name ... blue, yellow, pink. The packaging looked right. They also had blushes from another collection, the names were correct but the product itself was wrong.
Sorry if this is ranting but I get highly irritated when folks KNOWINGLY buy fake MAC. If it's too good of a deal, then it probably is gonna bite you.

P.S. ... Speaking of fakes. Did anyone watch the PBS special last year about Canadian and Indian "fake" medications? It was hella skeeerrrryyyy. Some of the meds tested had AWFUL ingredients.

They are meant to use on the body not face. Even if you have worn it once I would be very careful because the chemicals used are not safe. Stay safe!
Most fakes will either not list the ingredients or list bogus ingredients. That's why it's buy at your own risk.Originally Posted by SarraSanborn /img/forum/go_quote.gif
That's really good to know. Is it mentioned on the pigments at all?
