Napoleon Perdis Eye Shadow Review

Hello Hello!
Okay so this review will only be based on 2 eye shadow products only; 

  • Single pot 28 Ultra pearl
  • NP Set Eye Palette Eye Shadow - Atlanta (I bought this one about 3 years ago but you'll still be able to find it at Napoleon stores, Priceline and Target.
Also know that I haven't been very fond of Napoleon products including their kohl liners, gel liners or primers BUT I do adore their eye shadows! Every swatch I made at their store was so pigmented and were true to their colors. Although it's a little pricey, it's still pretty decent for a product such as this. 

Okay SO!
  • Price: Ultra Pearl was about $20AUD and the set was approx. $30AUD
  • Packaging: 10/10. The eye patrol pot is the perfect size and is very secure! The NP set I love, although the brush that's included in the set can easily fall out if you tilt it slightly. 
  • Longevity: 7/10. With primer, this lasted a while, I was pleased with it but only lasted for about 4 hours or so.
  • Overall: 7/10 - Although I love the pigmentation, it's still pricey. 
  • My advice: I've seen review on Inglot eye shadow system and have seen swatches and the intensity AND range of colours and i'm very keen on trying it out at Sydney IMATS 2012. So they have a freedom system where you purchase a magnetic palette for about $20 for 10 then purchase the refill pans for approximately $7 each. Which I find is a better value compared to MAC eyeshadows and Napoleon. 
**UPDATE** I am officially in love with INGLOT. However I still do love love love NP eye shadows!! Hopefully I can do a swatch review for you all soon :)
Pros
  • Highly pigmented
  • True to its color
  • Gorgeous colors
Cons
  • Faded after a few hours 
  • Is a bit pricey for the amount
  • A littttttle difficult to apply with a brush... so I pretty much used my fingers to apply.
Overall
  • Again as I mentioned already, I find that Inglot's freedom system is a much better value as compared to this with a larger variety.
 28 Ultra Pearl. Excuse the angle I can't rotate it LOL!
