..... want to get some Fat Face, White Stuff etc items but only have limited budget. Just worried I'll end up with fakes?!

You don't know. That's the short answer.

It's risky. I don't think there's a definite way to tell till you receive the item.

I just tell myself if something looks too good to be true it's probably a fake.

For the money you'll pay you'd be as well to go to TKMaxx and trawl.

A lot of designer stuff on Ebay is fake.....if it seems too cheap then it will be fake. Jeans are notorious as are things like Tiffany Jewellery.

Like the above poster says, if it seems too good it is almost certainly a fake.

Ds learnt the hard way, oh it was designer alright BUT had been worn to within an inch of it's life and looked horrible. he saves up now for the sales. look on t'internet as there are some places that sell genuinely but cheaper than the shops, or find a cheaper label and buy new. charity shops throw up some good stuff at times and at least you see before you buy.

You can only check for good 100% feedback.

I think you'd be pretty safe with those brands, they aren't global brands & I don't think the margins would be high enough. Their sales are pretty good...

Tkmaxx is very good for fat face and better still you can try it on.
