Napolean Perdis Dramatic Eyeshadow Quad Review

Packaging:

So this packaging is very appealing due to the sultry woman on the packing, but It very much so reminds me of a chanel quad maybe a little more of a rectangle shape and the clasp is kind of stiff to open, because it is a very hard plastic. It is semi compact so you could definitely throw this into a purse... not so much a clutch.

Price:

The price if I remember correctly was around 32$- 38$. Was this palette worth that in my opinion, No not even close. If I made this ( based on everything) I would price it around 15$-20$.

Quality/ Pigmentation:

The quality of this palette is meh... It isn't great but it isn't that bad. The pigments swatched over primer ( above) is about average. The eyeshadows look almost identical to Chanel ones ( not the color, but the shape) and the pigmentation is okay swatched on your hand, but on your eye the pigmentation quite frankly is kinda sucky. I will have to try other primers with it on my eye but I was seriously disapointed! As for the individual eyeshadows my favorite is the black. Soft, smooth, and so black its blue. The white color is a silvery/ greyed/ white... hard to describe. The purple is a cool mid toned purple with blue undertones to it. The blue shade is a darker bright midnight blue? Get that analogy? It is very close to Blue flame but less dark.

Overall:

Overall I would rate this a C. I probably wouldn't have wasted my money if I knew the pigmentation on my lids would be so bleh ( the black is the best one!!). I will give it another try but I wouldn't waste your money if you don't absolutely NEED it. You can get this @ Ulta :)

Double Rainbow!!

Bonjour! I did this for the enjoyment of the people I would encounter at target! I did get some smiles so maybe it worked? And I wanted to tell you all that I am going to bleach my hair Swedish Blonde! And That is my natural color so, yeah! I am German, and Swedish so I have pale features :) Have a great day My lovelies! And I am going to be doing a Halloween look soon with wax and liquid latex!

Finally catching up on my blog posts! * Jazz hands* and I did this last weekend when I was trying to be excited about where we were going but... I wasn't really. Sports Authority is really my cup of tea, so when I walk in there body builders are looking at me like "why on earth are you wearing that much makeup in here?". Needless to say I felt a little bit out of my element! But after we went to a really nice creole place for dinner and I got complimented on my Eye makeup :P I also tried Viva Glam Gaga gloss on the lips, opinions? And excuse the hair!!

So today I decided to play with my newly received Archetype Pigment Samples!

The colors are gorgeous!! Some of the darker colors look kind of muddy wet, but the other colors look more beautiful wet! I also might add that though my brows always look "red" tinted in pretty much all of my pictures I am not a natural red head, for I am Blonde! I tend to enhance all of the pictures I take on iphoto to make the colors I wear POP but the down side is ginger looking brows :/ Oh well!

Archetype Cosmetics Review & Swatches

Let me start out first by saying that I did not get these from the actual company meaning that I did not order them from their website, but I swapped with someone on Makeup Alley for these because let me tell you that I LOVE the names of these pigments!! Seriously I love halloween and creepy names so these "rung my bell" if you will.

My initial reaction was that these pigments in the bags were gorgeous!! They have nice duo-chromes and look really special and unique. I was happily surprised when I swatched them and they turned out beautiful, and The swatches below are all dry. Can you imagine what they look like wet??

I don't have that many Con's to these mainly because I swapped for them and didn't buy from the website. I have heard that it takes more than forever to get your order from the owner. I have heard insane stories of people not receiving their order until after they filed a paypal dispute and it took 3-4 months. I would HIGHLY suggest getting these ( if you are interested) via swapping. I can't put a negative tick mark on these pigments because I love them!

My only Cation to you all would be to swap ( can't stress enough) and if you do order from them be prepared to wait a while. Look at other blogs that actually did buy from their website, and make your decision based off of your gut and knowledge.

But I give these products an A++
