Concerned I have recieved fake cosmetics.

Just as the name says really. I ordered from Cheap Smells. I thought they were a trusted a legitimate website - I even checked here before I ordered.

I'm wary because the Lancome mascaras packaging looks different from some of the pictures i've seen. Im wondering if they might have reformulated this product and this is the old/new packaging.

The MAC looks 99% legit, only that on top of the box there isn't a sticker with the name of the colour on. But instead it is printed onto the box. MAC don't normally do that... Eeep!

I thought i'd be saving money, i'm a little bit sad. Seeing as I paid £11 for the MAC blushes and £18 for the mascara - hardly a huge chunk off screaming beware of the bargain.

Any help here beauties?
Toto, I

    It's just old packaging, that's generally why it ends up on cheap smells. If you're really cornered, email Cheap Smells and see if perhaps they got your products from a new supplier. Cheap Smells are generally really good and authentic.
