Napoleon Perdis Cake Eyeliner Sealer turns cake eyeliner and regular eyeshadows into a liquid liner. It also waterproofs them and can be mixed with loose eyeshadows/pigments and used as mascara.
I bought this last year and have used it A LOT. It does exactly what it says it does with great results.
I have one huge problem with it though. The price. For around $25NZD you get a measly 15ml! That is ridiculous.
I’ve also heard that Napoleon Perdis cosmetics are actually just repackaged La Femme products anyway. I find that quite appalling considering the huge price difference between the two brands.
For that reason I will not be repurchasing this. I may however look into purchasing the La Femme version of this and compare the two, as the product itself is wonderful, just a complete rip off. :P
Have you tried this or other Napoleon products?? What are your views on them?
Thanks for viewing!

I really like this too, but I also hate how it's all repackaged, it's such a turn off.
ReplyDeleteI used to really like the loose dusts, but found it not as good as MAC pigments which I feel are worth buying instead.
I've tried the eye shadows, lip glosses and lipsticks. I really like the like the lipstick. It had nice pigmentation and wasn't drying on the lips. The eyeshadows are also pigmented and there is a nice assortment of colours. I didn't like the lip glosses very much; the pigmentation are really good but they are extremely sticky.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments ladies! :D
ReplyDeleteMia - It really is a turn off! Especially since they claim that it's their own unique brand. I don't like that at all!
I too prefer the MAC pigments to those.
Naomi - I can't decide whether I like the eyeshadows or not. Think it might just be the matte ones that I'm not too keen on.
I too have tried the lipsticks and quite liked them! They felt really nice on.
Haven't tried the lip glosses before but since you mentioned the stickiness, I'll probably avoid them. I can't stand really sticky lip glosses..
This sounds cool-because of all the coloured liners you could make with the mac pigments,also my liquid liner is always going a wall so a good sealer would stop me looking like a zombie.But since you say theres a cheaper version,Ill wait and see how you get on with it.I know what you mean about sticky lipglosses,I had a clear one by philosophy(it came with a lip and cheek stain)and it was like superglue,one gust of wind and my hair was sticking to my lips like cousin it or something.
ReplyDeletei have only tried the NP products at Target - never heard of thsi one but it is a shame that it's so pricey
ReplyDeleteI never try Napoleon Perdis, too expensive. But Im waiting for my La Femme blushers :D so excited !
ReplyDeletePotionprincess - yeah it's truly a fantastic product! I will definitely try the cheaper one, hopefully soon! :P
ReplyDeleteMiss Yaya - yeah, damn Napoleon ripping us all off :(
Meri L - Oh I'm so jealous! I went to order the La Femme blush palette off camerareadycosmetics and they were sold out! Damn! :P
Thanks for the comments ladies! oxo
wow, thanks for the call-out, hun! That is great info. I've heard great things about LaFemme.
ReplyDeleteFarmgirl
No worries Farmgirl! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm just dying to get that La Femme blush palette.. :P
I use the foundation from NP but at $60 a pop, I leave it for good occasions. Everyday wear I use the Masquerade brand which is the same formulation!
ReplyDeleteCurrently waiting on La Femme eyshadows and blush, which I've heard are the same things and at a couple of dollars, well worth the gamble
