Spotting fake MAC on eBay

A friend of mine who really knows her make-up wrote this article which some of you may find useful:

I'm amazed there's enough profit for sellers to bother faking a £10 eyeshadow, but there you go...

Really? Eyeshadow costs pence to make, hence why they can sell the stuff in pound shops and still make a profit. Presuming that it's a quid though- they sell 100 that's £900 they've made.
Pretty much anything that theres a brand of there will be a fake of.

Sorry, got distracted by the fingernails. Do you think that is nail varnish or has she shut her finger in the door (ouch!)?

Useful article I think I may have just ordered a fake brush off Ebay but I think I'll be able to get a refund from paypal if it is fake. I'll definitely avoid buying MAC off Ebay again! IT's really not worth it.
