Here the question comes why these products are there?
Buying the original roducts is bit expensive so people love to buy such products online
Kim Kardashian West twits SO GROSS! Never buy counterfeit products!
Well!! It’s not like that people who use these products do not know that these are fake and counterfeit but the most important thing is the PRICE or COST. The shops could be easily opened at any place with some simple permission so customers get it easily and cheaper. According to some new paper these products also sold on through many third-party websites, such as Amazon.
So if you are using such products then you need to be aware about this and you must tbe carefull while using such products.
