I previously purchased 3 of the MAC Giambattista Valli lipsticks from MAC directly, and always regretted not picking up up the other two, so I've been searching for them online. but when I got it, I was absolutely thrilled. It had the special limited edition boxing my others did, and it was obvious to me that the lipstick was brand new and never used. Also, it came with the same little pull out card in the color of the lipstick that my other Giambattista lipsticks came with. I'm so excited to have finally added Tats to my collection. I HIGHLY recommend purchasing if your an avid MAC collector.
