NP Set, Target Just Got More AWESOME!

If you follow me on Twitter, you may think that I have a bit of a "problem", if you may, with TARGET. I prefer to think of it as a symbiotic relationship, but whatever.

Anyway, I was in there today for the 40th time this week, and I happened upon a cosmetics brand I had never heard of. NP Set, by Napoleon Perdis. I was immediately intrigued of course, because I had never heard of it, and a lot of the stuff was super cool! So of course after standing there browsing for what seemed like forever, and emailing the company to get their suggestions, this is what I went home with. (In another Target trip. In my defense though, I needed groceries) HA HA HA 

Anyway-the goods.


NP Set Red Carpet Palette

Eyeshadow Duo Saint Croix

NP Set LipGloss Mykonos

NP Set Liquid Eyeliner Duo-LaPaz

I really like everything I got! The eye-shadows glide on really nicely, and are build-able. There is a bit of fall out, unfortunately, that is quite common, but primer helps with this. I swatched the duo on my hand for you. 





The pink on the left is VERY sheer, and light. It is good for highlight under the brow, and I found with my fair skin I needed a couple of layers for it to show. Once you get the darker shade on, it really pops! It's so pretty! It makes a nice, smokey look, and you can make it as dramatic as you want by building on the darker shade. I just love it.

This eyeliner is AMAZING! It has a dual ended applicator. One end is an opaque blue/green, slightly shimmery liquid liner. The other end is a FABULOUS green glitter. CHECK IT!


From left, the opaque alone, then the glitter, then on the right the glitter over the blue opaque. Isn't it GORGEOUS?!? It reminds me of the colors on a peacock, right up my alley. The eyeliner glides on nice and smooth, and is very easy to handle. I really like this product! 

The lip gloss is UBER yummy! When I opened it I first noticed the scent. So fruity, and you guys know how I feel about scent in lip gloss.Well, when I put it on, (WOOHOO!) it TASTED fruity! BONUS! It is a gorgeous sheer pink, lighter than it looks in the tube. It wasn't overly sticky, and had a brush applicator. Unfortunately, I put it on right before I drank hot chocolate, so I'm not sure how long the color would stick around under normal wear, but I'll report back.


I love the palette! It gives you 4 shadows, 2 blushes and 4 lip glosses. It would be great for travel. I think the colors in it would work for most everyone, as they are great neutrals. I'll put together a look for this soon and report back.




I am definitely going to be adding more NP Set to my makeup repertoire. It's very good quality,  and available at a convenient location. I think I'm going to try their primer next. I'll keep you updated!
