Fact-Checking the Hype: Is the B&Bw Emily in Paris Bonjour Blossom Lipstick Real?
By Chloe Bennett
Whenever a licensed collection sells out, secondary resale markets surge with opportunistic listings. On marketplaces like eBay, Mercari, and untracked social commerce storefronts, listings emerged advertising "Rare Emily in Paris Bonjour Blossom Matte Lipstick." Unsuspecting buyers risk losing money to counterfeit cosmetic factories or deceptive sellers repurposing cheap unbranded makeup with counterfeit Bath & Body Works labels.
Conducting an authenticity check prevents financial loss and health hazards. Bath & Body Works prints batch codes directly onto the bottom crimp of tubes or the base of bottles, verifiable against retail inventory batches. Unregulated counterfeit cosmetics frequently contain heavy metals, industrial waxes, or unlisted allergens. If an online listing shows a traditional mechanical twist-up lipstick bearing the Bath & Body Works trademark, it is counterfeit.
