I had this pleasure to buy fake Dior lip products :/
meh… since I was on Dior workshop I have some idea how to spot FAKE. I would
like to share this knowledge with you.
In this article I use my photos of product received
form Dior directly (used for one year) and new fake one bought on Internet. The
differences are small but visible if you look closely and know what to search
for.

On the left original
product, on the right fake. You can see that the shade is different. In my case, product had a bit of shimmer. Original is milky pink.

2. Different fonts.
The difference is
really slight. “W” upper part of the letter is almost connected, “M” is not straight - it’s under slight curve.
3. Embossing
When it comes to
embossing fake logo is more visible and has sharp deep edges when in
original you have smoothed edges (also you can see difference in fonts “I” or
“r”).
Unfortunately, companies which make fakes try to be smart here, they use checked codes. In my
case 5Y08 (for both products!). But code isn’t engraved - it's cast (which makes it
bigger but still blurred). It should
Here you can see exactly what I’m talking about:
5. Stickers
Stickers should be
sharp. Look closely at Brand name it can’t be bold. Details differ like on picture
(lips, book).
Dior is a luxury brand and all
product must be prepared with attendance to details. There is no place for
imperfection and I’m not talking only about product but also packing. That's why
if you want to spot fake among products look for glue marks or stains from
mold.

Shape of the silver part is more cylindrical you can also see line from the mold

There are mold
stamps “L” shaped in each corner of the fake

7. Last but not least SHOCKER! weight
To make sure I used 2 scales: home,
and laboratory. Empty lipstick weights more than full fake!! So back to point 6. The material used for
packing is cheap and shabby. I know that it won’t be visible on the photo but
when I knocked the package with my nail the pacing sound was different.

Full - newly bought fake VS Used - empty original |
Difference between used
lip gloss wasn't that spectacular but still, remember totally used product VS new
one.
I hope that this
guide will help you! I am sending back that nasty FAKE, hopefully I will get
refound.
