hi everyone. thanks for any help in advance. i have three glitters here - one or none may be authentic mac.
please help determine if any or one of these is authentic!! i think one of these jars may be authentic, but not sure.
all from ebay, of course. two of them are supposedly jewelmarine, one is supposedly silver.
the jewelmarine that looks authentic to me (but i'm not sure) is labeled "1" or "#1". the one that looks blatantly fake to me is "2" or "#2".
jewelmarine #1 has no box - #2 has a box.
but then again i'm not sure if jewelmarine was released in two versions?
the pics of "jewelmarine" 1 & 2
--------------------------------
i peeled the label off the bottom of #1 so i could read the "colt-ainer". both jars have this mark, but on #1 it's fainter, and on #2 "colt-ainer" is bolder and seems bigger.
photo of jewelmarine #1 beside a pink opal from mac. at first i thought the bottom was too thick but it looks right. but i'm not sure if they are actually different heights - the "jewelmarine" bottom may be a slight taller.
TOP: #1
BOTTOM: #2
Left: #1
Right: #2
The following are photos of "SILVER" glitter and "JEWELMARINE" #2 only. I got these two at the same time so i took photos of them the same day together. i have a STRONG suspicion these are fake. Just need to know if I am right.
I got "Jewelmarine # 1" later so that is not in these following photos.
above photo taken with flash.

thanks again for any help!!! if any of these are fake i see more ebay disputes in my immediate future!
