BUYER BEWARE
Note that this is not a review about authentic Bumble and Bumble Thickening Shampoo, which I love.
I've been using this particular shampoo for about 5 years, so I knew immediately upon opening the package that Amazon had sent me a fake. I'd been concerned about this because of some other reviews, but most of those were several years old and so I (foolishly) thought that the issue had been resolved.
I was wrong.
First of all, the cap didn't fit the bottle correctly (when I twist to tighten it "pops" off) - a problem I've never run into before with this brand - and as such the entire bottle was covered in leaked shampoo. The smell and consistency of the shampoo was wrong. Like I said, I've been using this product for years. But this shampoo was a bit stickier than what I'm used to, and the fragrance was much stronger and more perfume-y.
I still happened to have my last bottle of this shampoo, purchased a few months ago from Bumble and Bumble directly. So I lined the two up next to one another to compare the packaging. There were subtle but nonetheless apparent differences, including some incorrect grammar on the fake bottle. I've uploaded a photo to illustrate this.
Do yourself a favor and DO NOT but this product from Amazon.com. Order directly from Bumble and Bumble.
