Fake vs Authentic Chanel Perfume Part 2

Hi all, here is a PART 2 on Fake vs Authentic Chanel  If you have not already, please click  HERE to read the first post I put up regarding fake vs real.  At the time of that review, I did not have an authentic No 5 bottle with me to compare with the fake I received.  I finally got some authentic bottles and will show some photo comparisons.  IF you have already ready my previous review, then you will know that the one on the left is the FAKE.  I purchased a tester bottle of an authentic.  Note that the authentic is an Eau Premiere (EP), and not Eau De Parfum (EDP). EP is a modernized, lighter version of the EDP, but in terms of bottles, they are pretty much the same.   So right off the bat, the "N5" font already shows noticeable differences. On the fake, the N is wider, and thicker than the authentic.  C H A N E L is also spaced differently as is P A R I S Bottom of the bottles. Again, on the authentic the text is ETCHED onto the bottle. On the f

COACH Mary Lock up and Tea Rose Crosby Shoes

Today's review will be on Coach Mary Lock Up in rogue color and Coach Tea Rose Crosby in Chalk color. These shoes are used mostly for work purposes.  I picked up these MLU (Mary Lock Up) at my local Marshall's around more than a year ago. The color was so beautiful that I had to have it. They were the last pair and I paid around $60 for them (I think they were being discontinued, thus the price) These shoes are a steal. They are by far the best flats/loafers I have bought to date.  I normally wear 9.5 or 10 depending on the shoe. Sometimes I fit 9 for flats. (Definite 10 for Nike's).  I consider my feet to be flat/wide.  These MLU are so comfy. No pinky toe cramping or blisters at all.  They are 9.5 and they fit so well. I do think they got loose over time so I wear sock liners with these and they fit perfectly.  Next are these TRC (Tea Rose Crosby). I just got them a week ago from Amazon for around $90 after taxes. So far, they have only been worn o

REVIEW: Differentiating Between AUTHENTIC and FAKE Chanel Fragrance

Hi All, today I will be doing a review on AUTHENTIC vs FAKE Chanel Fragrances .  As a disclaimer , I DO NOT claim to be an expert in authenticating Chanel fragrances. These are all based on my own research and personal experience.  Please take a look at pictures of this No 5 Chanel Perfume that I bought off Ebay.  Just by looking at the BOX itself, everything actually looks pretty good. I even received this item BRAND NEW, with the clear plastic wrap on it. BUT, it is actually a FAKE. surprise!  Now, let's look at the perfume bottle. I have circled some of the issues with the bottle.  INDICATOR #1 OF A FAKE PERFUME:  Take a look at the base of this bottle. It is uneven. on the authentic, it should be symmetrical on both ends.  The cap is LOOSE. I am unable to show this on the photo, but the cap comes right off and does not snap onto the bottle.  I can't say much about the smell because I haven't smelled t
