I'm a professional makeup artist and I tend to collect alot of makeup products, especially MAC. But recently, I've noticed that people are selling MAC eyeshadows on ebay for unbelievable prices. I have come to realize that some of the low-priced MAC eyeshadows are fake!!! I purchased a MAC eyeshadow from a ebay seller and found out it is 100% fake. I had that gut feeling when I received it by mail and opened it. I've been dealing with MAC products for years and the quality wasn't consistent with authentic MAC. I confirmed this with a MAC associate manager at a fine department store.
She told me that some ways you can find out if a product is real MAC vs. fake mac is:
1. If the packaging is different from the normal one you buy in fine department stores, it's probably fake. She advised that many beauty products that are from China are fake. They will have the name and similar box, but it's NOT the same. MAC products have a code on every product/box as well as on the label. This consists of a couple letters and the last is a number, which is the year it was made. MAC's address is always written on the box.
2. If the products don't have names then they're probably not real. Sellers of FAKE MAC eyeshadow will say the product only has a number and NOT a color. Only MAC brushes are numbered.
3. Authentic MAC eyeshadow has an additional bottom compartment underneath the case with a small mirror and eyeshadow applicator.
4. If the FAKE MAC products have names & look real, but you don't see them on the MAC website then they may be fake. Even the MAC website has a list of some of their discontinued products.
**I really hope this helps those of you out there who are into authentic MAC.
I try to find buys no matter where I am. I concentrate on skin care and anti-aging first and then mens skin care. The mens skin care section is still growing and I feel it will for the next 5-10 years. I usually will go to the clearance Isles and look up the expiration dates first then the product. If it is brand name I will likely buy it, one rule of thumb that seems to work for me is I can usually get half of the retail value. So if an item goes for $50 and I buy it for around $12 dollars I am in pretty good shape to make a profit. I would love to find a wholesaler but everytime I do I still get better deals in the clearance isles and I only hit about 5 stores a week. If anyone has suggestions I am open to them thanks.

We sell premium beauty & cosmetic products through eBay as well as through our own website: BeautyLuxe. Being a newcomer to eBay, I want to know how many people have their own site as well as an eBay store? Thanks.
I received some items in a recent shipment I had not heard of before. One is naturistics and the other is artmatic. Does anyone if these products are a part of a line? Are they a generic dollar store brand? I would love some information on what type of products, quality etc.
