I would want real photos of the item, not just this stock photo. I see s/he has sold other items such as this one....however, I would still desire the real photos before making a decision.

I'll tell you that there are a lot of things that can be wrong with buying beauty products from someone you cannot trust. you could make yourself ill, or damage your skin. You are probably getting very old product at the very least. The stuff could be used, opened, or tampered with. These are products you are basically putting into your body, using on your eyes, ect. I would be very careful about buying any skin care or cosmetics online. This authenticity thread is a good idea. But, none of us can tell how old the product is, unless it's obviously very old, outdated packaging. What a shame there are so many fakes and scammers out there!

I'm not a MAC expert by any means, but none of those look "off" to me

Hi there!

We have an "Authenticate This Beauty Item" thread at the top of this subforum. Please post future inquiries there.

Pursefanatic85 · Dec 2nd, 2008, 11:12 AM

they look good to me

I do know that both poison pen & viz a violet are at CCOs right now.

ArmCandyLuvr · Dec 2nd, 2008, 11:34 AM

It would probably be easier to authenticate if there were pictures of the labels on the bottoms of the products and the back of the pigment jar where all the ingredients are listed. Most often, those parts of the products look totally off on fake MAC. I am no MAC authentication expert, but I have basing my opinions on YouTube videos about fake MAC.

Pink_Swish · Dec 2nd, 2008, 11:38 AM

sadly i live in the UK so i dont have cco! I only posted this thread because i knew i would get a response quicker sorry if it broke the rules.

Thanks armcandylover im going to email the sellers to ask for pictures

dusty paws · Dec 2nd, 2008, 12:43 PM

Pink_Swish · Dec 2nd, 2008, 12:54 PM

There isnt one near me, the nearest one is like 3 hours away!

ArmCandyLuvr · Dec 2nd, 2008, 05:00 PM

Here's a link to the video I saw that compares fake MAC pigments to real ones. This might be helpful if you get some more pics:

Viz-a-violet looks ok. Can you post the links to the auctions? Sometimes people with large inventory of a particular item pull a bait-and-switch... something you need to take a look at also.

Pink_Swish · Dec 2nd, 2008, 06:14 PM

ive found poison pen online on mac! so its just viz a violet!
