eBay bargin - too good to be true?

[CarpeJugulum]

I'm looking for new, good quality makeup brushes.

I love Bobbi Brown, but her brushes are £££ - £139 for six on the official website.

So I googled and found these on eBay.

Are they real? Why so cheap?

Help' I covet these, but am terrified I'll get "done"

they probably are fake. however the feedback (for this item) is very good, so I'd go for it if you like the look of them.

They look ok to me - try them at that price if theyre genuine your quids in if theyre good quality fakes they are cheaper than supermarket brands.

Thanks for the responses - and a hopeful bump for the afternoon gurus!

Definitely fake - I can tell from the lettering on the box (and no gap between Bobbi and Brown) and the poor quality of the case.

Doesn't mean the brushes will be crap, just that they aren't real Bobbi Brown ones.

You will get them cheaper than that though if you search and you still want them.

They are def fake, but, if you bought them, and they were crap you could always try getting your money back through eBay by telling them that they are counterfeit. Might be a fair bit of hassle though

Phooey! I really want a decent set of brushes, but can only afford about 3 bristles of a bobbi brown brush

Back to the drawing board then...
