Just a quick post to point out how similar Guerlain's spring Cruel Gardenia highlighting powder is to Laura Mercier's Rose Rendezvous palette from the holidays. What's going on here? How did these two items with a nearly identical design manage to get released?

Compare to Rose Rendezvous:
Really, the only difference are the petals in the center: Guerlain's are more clustered while those in the Rose Rendezvous palette features a star-like pattern. (Although I find it funny that one calls it a rose and the other a gardenia when it's the same floral design!) These two are virtually twins so they weren't even worth a classic Makeup Museum smackdown, sniff. But don't worry, one is coming tomorrow. 😉
