Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When I found my favorite MAC compact at such a steep discount, I was through the roof with excitement. I was a little skeptical though. When I got the product, it looked pretty legit and I had some left over from an original I had bought at the MAC store to compare. The one I purchased here was just a little yellower than the original one I had but did not think anything of it as mine was a little over a month old. Immediately with the first try, I knew this product was not the same. I have been using this compact for over 6 years and have NEVER had an issue with it until I bought it here. No matter how hard I tried to get the powder on the sponge, it would not absorb onto the sponge the same way. Eventually, these hard, dark bumpy areas formed on the powder so I avoided that area of the compact because it would not budge on to the sponge at all. I did a half and half face comparison with my leftover MAC and the this one and all my blemishes and dark spots were still visible on the "fake MAC" side. The original side, flawless and perfect. I was really disappointed but should have known better when trying to score a deal. Maybe I got an old expired one, I don't know. I threw it out after my experiment from disgust. Needless to say, I will never be purchasing MAC products discounted online.
