Jazz(ed) it up with Petticoat & Stereo Rose

WARNING: PICTURE HEAVY POST

I thought I was still in my dream when I heard someone calling my name. And then it's started to sound real. Suddenly, i heard my grandmother's voice... "FATIN, POSTMAN DATANG" ("Fatin, postman come"). My eyes flew open and i quickly jumped out of my bed. I knew it's here. The Big Black Box. IT'S HEREEEEE!!!

HAHAHAHA. just a bit of story-telling there.

M.A.C, oh M.A.C.. how I wish you were mine..

Petticoat vs Petticoat

I dont know how many of you noticed, but while sorting out the goodies, I decided to bring out my Petticoat and did a little comparison. I already own Petticoat from the Sheer Minerals (SM) release in 2008. I realised that there is a slight difference between the old Petticoat & the new one. I find that the Petticoat I have is lighter, and the In The Groove (ITG) Petticoat contains more pink glitter making it more pink-er. Looks more frosty too I've included some photos below. Take a look, and let me know what you think!

Note that this comparison is only based on what I see from the packaging. It might or might not swatch differently, I dont know. These are not mine so I am not gonna open them up or do swatches.

This one I'm adding just for fun, since I am already at it.
I know the arrangement of the Petticoats are not consistent. I was shooting from different areas in my house, just to get the best lighting.

I dont know if you can see the difference in the photos. But just let me know what you think, yeah? And for those who own both SM & TG Petticoat, maybe you could do a swatch to see if there is any difference.

Thank you for reading! (",)

  2. Hi Aynie!
    And it is, in real life. I just cannot capture it as accurately as i can because of the reflections on the "window" of the compact. I wish I could open them up to take macro shots.

  9. I think from the photos can clearly see the difference. One is kinda brownish, the other one is kinda pinkish. I prefer the SM Petticoat, though. ;)

  10. Yeahh, me too! ITG Petticoat is too pink, and darker. But if there's one thing i like about the ITG Petticoat is that they seems to have ALOT of veinings. And i really mean banyak banyak banyak. So it's really really pretty to look at. hehee :)

  12. ITG Petticoat is very frosty pinky while SM Petticoat is a neutral bronzy shade. Both looks delicious!

  13. I agree with you, Christie! The ITG Petticoat look just as good that I felt like keeping it in my stash. Too bad it's not mine! hehehee!
