i have noticed these fake brushes and palettes blowing all over eBay. but buyer beware, just because they look nice and pretty it isn't so. the signs of fakes brushes are if the wooden or plastic handle is very cheap not sturdy, the bristles constantly shed hairs even after washing them, or they have a very rough feel against your skin. and for those palettes that says 60,100,75 colors etc. they are NOT from M.A.C cosmetics, Alot of those palettes are not even close to Pro use, they are suitable for personal use only. the colors might seem vibrant and standing out they are not, please read the feedback!. brands like Dani and B&R can be purchased from a dollar store or neighborhood discount salon for 5-10 bucks in los Angeles...i would know because i have seen them there. the only brand so far that is inexpensive and has a pro quality is NYX cosmetics. they are very good . i have pigments and eye shadows. also those palettes are always falsely advertised as being rare, they are not.

brushes are ALSO being sold at dollar stores and  discount marts....even brushes that come in belts

know the quality before you buy
