NARS Fakes on ebay!!!


I think I've been well and truly had!!! I was browsing on ebay and found some nars blushers listed at a starting price of £2.99 - maybe that should have been my first warning!!! Anyway I went ahead and bid on one and paid £6 for it plus postage.


I was really excited when it arrived yesterday but to my disappointment I saw an immediate problem. The box it came in was very old and battered and it said "NARS eyeshadow duo on it!" Ok so it was in the wrong box. I had a look at the blusher and it looked ok, until I compared it to another one I own Mata Hari.



First off the containers are the same but the blusher I bought was called Tokyo now this does not exist - I have done major searching and Nars did an eyeshadow duo called Tokyo but not a blush. Secondly the sticker on the back is upside down compared to all other Nars products. And lastly the word Nars is actually imprinted onto the blusher which is not on any other ones I have.


I know its not the end of the world - £6 but I just wanted to point this out to other people just to beware that there are fakes out there and to be careful what you buy on ebay!! It came from England and was listed brand new in box! No colour was listed just pink Number 402! I won't be making this mistake again!

That's bad! Good you didn't pay more for it. It's so easy making fake copys, I don't understand how people can dare to buy expensive designer bags at Ebay!

But the colours look pretty, so u can just pretend they are from Nars, and hopefully the quality is the same :)

By the way, you should tell the seller this, and also write a letter to Ebay that he/her sells copys without telling!

The embossed NARS in the powder is always the dead give away. Thats a pity chick but at least you didn't spend too much on it. I would absolutely leave negative feedback in order to warn others, espec since the seller can't leave spiteful retalliation feedback on your account. x

myself, i would be wary about leaving negative comments on the seller's profile until it has been resolverd by email because sometimes the sellers have been conned themselves...

they probably thought they'd come into a really good deal on a load of NARS stuff, not realising they were fake themselves. obviously it isn't always the case that sellers don't know, i am sure in many cases they do, but before pinning blame you always have to establish the seller's intent!

So sorry to hear about this. I hope this is resolved soon for you; and the seller, good intentions or not doesn't do this again. Thanks for posting pictures of the fake alongside the authentic one.
