" We all know the feeling of walking into a MAC store and feeling like you may as well just hand them your card and pin number. Sometimes the feeling is just too overwhelming and you end up walking out with Velvet Teddy, Patisserie, Kinda Sexy and Mocha because yes all of those lipsticks are very different, and yes they will improve your quality of life. Word. But next time it happens and you start to feel the ridiculous joy/guilt that comes from walking away with a little black carrier bag, just remember that it&amp;#039;s totally FINE because you&amp;#039;re not this woman, who now owes MAC nearly $1 million.  Although it might make you feel a little better about your most recent spree, a woman in Florida now owes MAC the incredibly hefty bill after being caught selling fake versions of their products on eBay. She had been purchasing counterfeit products in bulk from China to then sell at a higher price via her eBay store, Cozmetic Delights. But sadly her business plan wasn&amp;#039;t the most sleek or savvy, and after being caught selling the dodgy fake MAC goods, she&amp;#039;s been sentenced to 18 months in prison, and has to pay MAC a truly mental $961, 744.75. Ouch. Just your daily reminder that if you&amp;#039;ve spotted that sold out MAC Cinderella collection on eBay for a weirdly great discount then there&amp;#039;s a good chance it&amp;#039;s too good to be true. Plus, back in May, the BBC reported traces of rat poo, human wee and arsenic in counterfeit makeup. Erm, vom.  Let&amp;#039;s stick to hitting the MAC counter in the shopping centre, eh? You can swatch ALL THE LIPSTICKS, and it&amp;#039;s next door to a Pret so everyone&amp;#039;s a winner. Let us know what you think about this with a tweet to @CosmopolitanUK.
