Fake Pigment?!?! Heeeeeeelp!

[m0rg3nst3rn]

So, I bought two pigments from a blog sale. One of them I am sure is real, pink pearl. The other, I am not so sure about...It is Night Light and I never had any jars from '06, so I don't know what they look like and when I searched on the web the writing on the jars did come in this format, but I am thinking that the font is a bit thick on it. The seller didn't have the boxes so I didn't have those to tell from and neither of the pigments had the little plastic part on the inside so I didn't have that as an indicator to work with either. I am including pics of both pigments, but it is Night Light that I am worried about. Here are the pictures...

Pink Pearl looks to be real. The packaging looks proper and all, but I couldn't confirm 100% for you.

Night Light I'm not so sure on. I only have a sample from a friend and your swatch looks similar (not quite the same but that could be the way it was photographed) and the packaging is a bit off. I don't think I own any pigments that have that style of writing on the back.

The fact that the Night Light jar has a shiny lid makes me wonder if it is fake. I don't have Night Light so i can't be sure tough.

Yep, the shiny lid makes me suspicious, too, but I don't think I have a pigment of a similar age to compare it to.

Yeah...the packaging is what has made me wonder about that one. I know it would be an older jar and they had the text similar. I just am not sure...
Though I just looked at the lid compared to the others and it is not as shiny looking in person it looks a little more like the pink pearl lid...I am so confused

night light does look odd to me. can you take a really up close shot of the base of the jar and hold it towards the light? then i'd be able to let you know for sure.
