I doubt it. The website uses a free web host, using subdomains of Vistaprint. If the prices are too cheap to be real, then they're not real. You're not buying from a company, you're buying from some individual, so you have no warranty or comeback. Similar to buying from someone in Hong Kong on eBay.

There was a thread about a similar shop last week, and the consensus was that it was going to be knock off and fake gear. Buy at your own risk.

The girls phone number is on the site and the gallery and stuff looks pretty legit. Might just be a cheap website. Why don't you phone her and ask where she sources her products. Most of them product prices would be close to the sterling prices so she may be just getting them in UK.

this is my website

i buy my products from reputable wholesalers in the states..if you would like to contact me i can tell you the places i buy from and you can check them out (cant really give you the information here!) i buy the hair products from salon services in dublin

i also sometimes buy in the duty frees when travelling so i can pass the savings on to my customers,
i just buy things that i can sell on cheaply as there is no point in me charging €40 for a foundation when you could could just go to the beauty hall in brown thomas and buy it there,
if i get the products cheap i will pass the savings on.
im a beauty therapist and i work on a beauty counter in a pharmacy..i could not sell items from hong kong as we do not know what is in the make up (rip offs are generally full of mineral oils which can cause skin problems and breakouts)
i could not risk my reputation (its just something i set up from home as i was reduced to a 3 day week in work and im sooo broke!)
my site is a vistaprint one because its the easiest to set up and im not the best at computer stuff like that
and im based in carlow

if you are worried about having no comeback then paypal is the most secure option for buyer and seller
so please if you have any doubt just phone me and i can let you know the suppliers i buy from and reassure you

Not really, especially for a seller such as yourself. Any buyer can claim non-delivery, and you will find it almost impossible to refute. For a buyer that may be in receipt of counterfeit goods, it's a long, difficult and costly process to get a refund. Paypal gives the illusion of security, but it's very easy to get scammed when using it.

Before anyone rushes off and buys anything from the website have to say that the Mac pallettes are fake, cant speak for anything else. Mac do not do pallettes like that, tell tale signs are the eyeshadow brush in the pallette and the individual circles around each eyeshadow.
Check youtube for examples on fake cosmetic products.
