Fake MAC!

Good Afternoon Beauties!

This is a warning to those looking for a bargain!

Just recently I found a facebook 'Shop' who had a variety of 'MAC' products for an absolute steal! Literally nothing was over $20 & admittedly the items did appear authentic. She had a big paragraph ranting about how she assured that the products where genuine & only so cheap due to her buying in bulk & having staff discounts etc. I thought I would test it out, so I placed an order for a few items (listed below). The transaction was extremely quick, i deposited the money into her business account & received the items in the mail the next morning.

To my (slightly expected) dismay, the products where knock offs, extremely close I will admit but definitely not authentic MAC products! My complaint included inconsistencies such as "The eyeshadow pans aren't magnetised", "The concealer has little to no pigmentation" & "packaging isn't 100%". I contacted the seller and informed her politely of my thoughts & she firmly disagreed with me & refused to refund the products. With nothing to lose I decided to try them out the next day none the less!

To my surprise the products were amazing! I have used the FAKE minerilized skin finish every day since! Although I was severely disappointed the products were not authentic mac I do feel some what that the products are still of MAC quality!

The point of this story is that, 1: If there is a possibility its not real, it probably isn't. and 2: Life ain't always bad! :)

Products Purchased:
1x Mac studio finish concealer in NC15
1x Mac Translucent powder
1x Mac Blush in Blush Baby
1x Mac Miniralized skin finish in Natural
1x Mac Eyeshadow in Phloof
1x Mac Eyeshadow in Shroom
For a total price of $100!

Introduction To Rose Beauty!

Good Afternoon Beauties!


I have been interested in makeup & beauty blogging/ vloging for as long as I can remember! I always thought it was something for those who are qualified in the field or are in the public eye! However, one morning whilst talking my way through my makeup routine (as I often do) it dawned on me; why not? I could do it! I could spend even more of my time thinking about, talking about, using & most importantly buying makeup, without the guilt of it being all about me! This was it. This was my excuse to do & have everything I have ever wanted, all in the name of research!
So here it is. The beginning to what i hope will be a rewarding & helpful insight to me, my makeup obsession & everything in between!


Love always, Rose Beauty xx
