Almost a dupe of SN!

I had to laugh - I thought "wow, that's an awesome palette of colours but... hmm... doesn't the eyeshadow set look familiar?" and then it occurred, colour for colour, isn't that a close match of Karen's very own "Summer Loving" Collection? I have Rizzo and have seen swatches of the others, and although the descriptions are different, they wear very similarly. Wonder where they got their inspiration from ;)

First Chanel and now Smashbox! Really there's only a handful of pigment manufacturers and they supply the entire industry- everyone buys from the same 5 places, so there's a lot of overlap in the industry. Every time I go dupe shopping I bring my colors and go out in the parking lot to compare- it's amazing how close they are sometimes. I've tried some MAC lipsticks only to go over to Bobbi Brown and spot the *exact* same color. I guess what comes around goes around...can't wait for my MAC order to get here tomorrow!
