Hello everyone! So I know I said this page will be dedicated to Korea products, but I'm sorry to say, I HAVE to start with this non-korean product first. I ordered this Benefit They're Real mascara from an Ebay seller named "uptowngirlsbeauty" for $16.99. And I just received it in the mail freshly today. Unfortunately, this seller send me a fake product, I've already emailed her to request for a full refund and left a negative feedback. So coming up, is show you all how I could tell this item was fake.
To start it off, I think the seller was smart enough to use a REAL Benefit They're Real Mascara box to cover for the fake item inside the box, since I couldn't find any evidence that shows this box is fake.
The back of the box
Here it is, the fake mascara
At first, I was examining the product carefully since I see some black mascara marks ON the bottle, so I was just thinking it's an used item, and was thinking need to email seller, then I start to noticed more flaws.
Okay, so pay attention to those little words.
Pay attention to the website. Also the code of IB246
So here it comes, the most obvious hint that this is a FAKE item. Do you guys notice what's wrong with that? It says, beyonc mascara, instead of beyond mascara like what the box says. Nextly, the website on the bottle is : benefitcosmetica.com instead of benefitcosmetics.com. I'm pretty sure a real item would NOT list its' own company website wrong. And that the whole bottle overall, feels like it's made of cheap material. The code on the bottle is IB202 which is different from the box.
The sticker is on the edge, instead of the middle of the bottle.
Lastly, on the real mascara bottles, the entire neck area where it has the twisted marks, are suppose to be black colored, but this one is the same color as the bottle. Also, if you look care
fully, the "benefit" the 'e' is not in lined with the other letters.
Okay, after this post, I hope you guys will be able to identity a fake Benefit They're Real mascaras out there on Ebay. Apparently, I am not the only one who've experienced this. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Ebay, and there's LOTS of REAL items on EBay, but I just got unlucky in this case. Hope you folks will never run into receiving a fake item in the mail! You never know what's the ingredients in a fake item, if you use it, your lashes might all break and fall out, who knows?
