The most common counterfeit serial # is AL3. It's on every box I've ever seen that was fake. The bottom is the fake in the pic. The top is legit. Serial numbers never repeat. These are specifically unique to prove authenticity. In addition. If a batch of their makeup has an issue, they can recall specific batches. When you see an AL3. IT IS FAKE!!! I'm only warning others to not buy fake ones :) Regardless of what these sellers are saying. The ONLY repeating serial number is AL3. Coincidence?

@cheryl135 no problem. I try to bust our the fake ones on here as much as I can. Sometimes they are so cheap they sell before I get to them.

People get so angry when they're wrong, goodness. Such foul language lmao
jsalaver
@sockpuddle only when people get this crazy defensive are they obviously lying 😂

The people that sell fake ones are willing to lie about where they got it too, I was told that they got it a Ulta, but when I tried to use it and I compared it to the one at Macy's which was buttery rather chalky, I knew it was fake, and I was really upset because I had been lied to. They should at least be honest and just tell us that it's fake, there are people that are okay with buying fake ones, I am just not one of them. Thanks for sharing this information.

Are there fake Too Faced holiday sets too? I've bought so many of them, and I've been wondering cuz I got them so cheap...
jsalaver
@omgahwaffles I am sure there are. There are fake Bon Bon palettes already. BJ5 Is the fake serial for that one.
heavenlystyles
What is the texture of the eyeshadows from the fake palette that you got? Are they buttery? Or chalky?
jsalaver
@omgahwaffles Very chalky. Hardly any pigmentation. I was so mad when I got the fake one I had to fight tooth and nail to get my money back. I took it to Sephora and it wasnt even close to the real one.
heavenlystyles
So I guess, people would be able to tell based on the texture as well...I only got one that was fake so far, but I am not really sure.

@khamby47 I always check on sites like Ali express. Lots of fake make up there. If its there. It is going to be here too. They sell the fake ones for $10 each. Its a quick way for them to get rich

Thanks for this!!! In addition the number on the box should also be the same number on the back of the pallete itself. If there is no number on thr pallete that is a sure fire way to tell that the pallete is fake.
jelam11
Are there fake semi sweets?
jsalaver
@jelam11 yes hun. Every palette has a fake dupe out there

I've recently been trying to figure out how to tell if Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kits are fake. I've seen so many for sell. Thank God I found someone that I trust but I see some people have like 20 of them & I don't want to be judgmental but I just wonder how people get so many with such a discounted price.

Thanks for this information really honest of you!! I appreciate this!
dougarmom
Thanks so much. ..... Ugh it's so frustrating because these counterfeits keep getting harder and harder to detect, I always thought that as long as they're were serial numbers I was good to go 😞 But apparently Not. Thanks so much for the helpful advice :)

I purchased a chocolate bon bons palette from Sephora that had a serial number of BJ5, where are the fakes of that serial number coming from?
jsalaver
@hannahlauryn99 get the aliexpress app. Type in chocolate bonbon palette. They are on there. $13.42 each. Ill add a pic to my closet
hannahlauryn99
How could I have gotten a real one from Sephora with that serial number though?
jsalaver
@hannahlauryn99 the serial numbers for chocolate bonbon isnt a serial number. Its a batch number. The fakes for those have the same batch number. If you go back to Sephora youll see that ALL of the palettes are the same batch. Their are no unique serial numbers for bonbons
hannahlauryn99
Ohhhhh okay! Thank you for explaining that to me! Nice to know that there are still some honest people on posh:)

need help on this she showed me back and she has a lot of dif from the Gwen peach pallet bonbon she selling online, said authentic and sent me back but I can't seem to see lot number at all on I see something but I can't make out what it is when zoom bad pic but if she wrote again I'll see which lot for bonbon is on it.I also got a pbj but paid 38 and she sent me a good lot for PBJ so her is authentic and true smell u can tell when the fake don't smell like chocolate smell like acid

@jsalaver ok lot people buy from ioffer.com or aliexpress from China they sell name brand anything for dirt cheap I see a lot people selling from there , if I see something I like ill go one of two fine what I want , on ioffer I was telling lady uggs with bows in back are 70 , I brought lot from them for myself not sell that's how they make money , personally I don't mind paying amount if it's real deal thanks
jsalaver
@gg57 my issue with the stuff sold on aliexpress and ioffer in terms of makeup are not authentic. I would never purchase a knock off item. It's illegal to even sell.
gg57
@jsalaver I agree I wouldn't either honestly ill pay price if I really like it

@gabby_2943 @hahaxiloveyouhx. Please read this and the comments.
brianandjaymie
I purchased a chocolate palette from @hahaxiloveyouhx last night with the code on the back being AL3. I am assuming it is a fake then after researching the Internet tonight. @gabby_2943 be sure you don't make the same mistake.
hahaxiloveyouhx
@brianandjaymie oh no.. interesting. i purchased mine from ulta when the item released, so i doubt they sold me a fske.. though mine says al3, it also says it on the palette itself, unlike this one! i will be heading to ulta some this weekend and i will look into it! thanks for letting me know, i certainly don't want anyone to think i'm selling a fake, which is why i only but from sephora or ulta! i'll let you know!
synnkitten
I have one thay says al3 as well. But it also says it on the pallett. Does anyone remember exactly what they looked like when they first came out,before they were changed? Now,im worried all over again.
rachelcastile
@jsalaver I just bought a too faced bon bon palette on here and it seemed totally legit but now I'm kind of freaking myself out! In pictures she has the number AL5 on the tin. Have you heard anything about AL5? Thank you so much!!
jsalaver
@rachelcastile unfortunately the palettes no longer have serial numbers. Only batch codes. When you get it. Take it and the box to your nearest retailer that stocks it and ask to do a comparison. Sephora. Macy's. Ulta. Nordstrom.
hanleycai
@rachelcastile did it end up being fake? I just bought one with AL5 and worried it might be fake
jsalaver
@hanleycai al3 is definitely fake. Compare the boxes. That might help
hanleycai
@jsalaver I'm wondering if the AL5 ended up being a fake... I just bought one with that code
rachelcastile
@hanleycai mine ended up being real actually! I even brought it to ulta and compared it side by side and it was the exact same
hanleycai
@rachelcastile yay!!!!!! Thanks for replying. I'm happy that it turned out to be real !
jessfr3sh
Do you know. If any of the fake serial codes on the matte chocolate chip? Thanks for this post btw!
