Follow Refinery29 to Downtown Los Angeles’ infamous Santee Alley shopping district, where you’ll find dozens of displays bursting with hot-ticket fake makeup items like Kylie Lip Kits, Anastasia Beverly Hills highlighters, and MAC lipsticks.

You guys act like if Kylie gives a damm about you with your investigations!! She can care less about you. I guess if you guys can get alot of views/subscribers it'll be worth it I guess...

I feel okay for using these items...And how can we be afford to buy those expensive cosmetic all the time? Some may be a fans of those makeup products but they can't afford to buy the original so instead they buy the fake but still as long as they has no problem with it.
