MAC MSF Petticoat dupe!

Whoo! I bit the bullet on this NYC Chroma Face Glow in Moonstone and ordered up from the States through a lady on MUT – the lovely ex-Canadian charge me $6 for this gem! (They can be found for $3-$8 at some US drugstores but I haven’t been able to find them here)(I admit it – I essentially just wanted this because it looks pretty in the pan with all the gorgeous domed baked veining)
This hilighter is packed with glitter (fine-grain, thankfully) and is very low-pigmentation.

The first arrow on the left is a swatch when I pass my finger down a raspberry-coloured line, the middle when I swipe my finger across the whole pan, and the right (you may have to enlarge the photo to see this one) is from the pink part only.And of course, you have to see what it looks like on (2 layers, lightly, with a stippling brush)

Again, you may have to enlarge to see the glitter – a little bit pigmented but just barely. (Naked cheek but I have been flushed recently due to this damn cold!) The problem is that this stuff is crazy glittery – swiping twice with remover and then cleansing doesn’t even get all the little glitter bits off.Unfortunately, even with the gorgeous product, there is still that little tip-off that the Chroma Face Glow is a cheapie product: the horrendous orange label on the back.
Overall, though, I think this was a great buy. It’s priced like a latte and is going to last you a lot longer! :P I can see this being gorgeous over your favourite matte blush, topping your cheeks lightly as a hilighter.

If you can find one of these, pick it up! It’s a great alternative if you want to buy a MSF just because they’re pretty and veined. This is not, however, as pigmented, and it gives more of a glitter than a sheen. (Also comes in “Sunstone”, which is a So Cylon dupe, I believe!)
