Let's Help Stop The Sale Of Replica Cosmetics.!

Hi Ladies,

I just wanted to do a really quick post about replica makeup and how passionate I am about reducing the sale of these disgusting products. The Seller’s on particular Facebook sites have no conscience with a lot of the same repeat offenders popping up everywhere they can try get a sale.

With the rise of counterfeit products booming within New Zealand we are going to be petitioning to the government for tougher restrictions against what is already illegal. When I say we I am talking about an amazing group of girls from Makeup Obsessives who have banded with myself to make a stand against a topic we hold so close to our hearts.

As true makeup savvy ladies we hate to think of those less educated being fooled by these tricksters and to prevent this I have personally created a Facebook group where any items of interest or any questions can be posted and answered by myself or the other beauties.

Replica products can be very harmful to the consumers due to the fact they go through no mandatory testing before they are sold on, in other words the creators do not care what happens to you after they have their money. The sale of these within our country needs to be stopped and I think we have a great shot at doing so.

With recent tests from the USA Showing that some of these replicas contain levels of copper , human urine ,high levels of worrying bacteria and even arsenic which can be fatal this is not ok! , and quite frankly it is appalling to think this is what people are happy to do to earn some cash.

Side effects from the use of replica products can cause you to have a severe allergic reaction and can potentially cause you to have lifelong health issues so next time you go to purchase that bargain that sounds too good to be true please take a second thought.


Please help us to maintain the brand names we all love so much and get these products off our market so we can enjoy a colourful world of correctly tested and beautiful cosmetics.


You can help us take a stand by joining the groups below or you can be kept updated by following me on twitter, We will be filing a petition as soon as enough information is gathered.




Stay Beautiful,
