Fake Benefit number 2

So this is following on from my blog post that I made last week. This is another fake product I got conned into due to the price.
This is Benefit's lemon aid eyelid primer, you can also use it as a normal concealer. I think this product has been discontinued also. But anywhere here's the low down!

Admittedly I was very convinced by the packaging but it's good, so who wouldn't be? After doing some research online I come to realise mine was a fake. 

The product code is apparently on the wrong side of the box.

The consistency of the product- now I didn't think it was terrible but for something that is on the higher end of the scale I was expecting better results and it not being so hard to work with.

This isn't the best photo but there is no capital L for London and there is no space between the post code. Another give away for me was the fact that on the box with the ingredients list it said "Shea better" now I always thought it was shea butter! So yeah this made me totally convinced that this is a fake benefit product.


As I said in my last post I won't try and search for these deals on Ebay again. I'm a big lover of Ebay and this hasn't put me off the site but I think people need to be careful with what they buy on there, especially these fake products as you can't really guarantee what is actually in them! I have done these blog posts so others can see :)

Fake Benefit

It pains me to write this post, it really does. But I feel it's something that may help people in the future. A couple of days ago I went on Ebay and searched for Benefit products as I have also wanted to try items from this brand and wondered if I could get them any cheaper. I thought I was lucky in the fact I found some, I was wrong and this is why I'm posting this. When I bought these products it did run through my mind, with the price- are they fake? Well yes, they are. After reading about it I know they are and have emailed the sellers, but no replies. Here are the two products I bought and how they are spotted as fake.

The box is wonky on the base, and doesn't fit together properly.

The colours are wrong, this is my box and I'll link the real deal below.

Complete give away as this is pink and not red.

You can't peel here.

This is the product inside, I actually thought it's quite a nice colour.

But it didn't transfer that well.

This just shows that you can't sneak out and buy an expensive brand for cheap. Yeah I like the colour of this product but I'm unsure of using it as can I trust what is really in it? I'm pretty sure that I don't want to risk it, the product is fake, the ingredients list can be fake also.

Along with this I always purchased Lemon Aid, so I will do a blogpost on this as well. I hope this may help some of you. Any questions please feel free to comment.
