No Beauty Limits: napoleon perdis

Good Evening!
So I recently ordered a brush set from Apothica.com using my gift card
that was given to me by my sponsor.

I decided I wanted to check out the brush set from Napoleon Perdis from their Swept Away Holiday 2010 Collection. I was going to buy it when I went to their Concept Store but it is an item only available online.
Since I saw they had it on Apothica I decided to just go ahead and get so I can share my thoughts with you guys. They have two colors sets. Cobalt and Teal. I choose Teal.

Price:
Napoleon Perdis Online: $39.50
Apothica: $47.40

Apothica does do price matching but I didn't even know till my package came this morning. They only allow up to 5 days of Price Matching.. which I don't really like. They should really extend this

Outside Packaging.

This is an 8 Piece Travel Size Brush Set.
Made with both Natural and Synthetic material.
Contains:
- 1 Face Brush
- 1 Foundation Brush
- 1 Shadow Brush
- 1 Crease Brush
- 1 Smudge Liner Brush
- 1 Angled Liner Brush
- 1 Mascara Brush
- 1 Sponge Applicator
On Apothica they did NOT list that this is a Travel Size Brush set. Which is definitely not good.

Comparison of what the length of the brushes look like.

The thickness of the face brush is more oval and not so much roundish.

Face Brush

Comparison to a Sigma Travel Brush. The only difference would be the Sigma Brushes have a longer handle.

Foundation Brush

Eye shadow Brush

Crease Brush

Smudge Liner Brush

Sponge Applicator

Brow/Mascara brush

I realized I forgot to take a photo of the eyeliner brush! Sorry.

Pros:
+Easy to store, Good for traveling
+Nice Packaging
+Brush hairs are tightly packed.
+Soft brushes
+Good starter set.
+Fast Shipping

Cons
+Way too pricey.
The set was originally around $70. But now it is reduced to $47 on Apothica which is still way
too much in my opinion for a travel brush kit though I suppose your paying for the name.
4/5

Would I recommend this to anyone?
If you really like Napoleon Perdis products, or prefer higher in brand products this is great for you.
Or even looking for a really nice gift for a coworker/friend.

If your on a budget I would suggest ECO-TOOLS! Those are great and a set is like $10.99
They are basically my main set of tools.

Thanks for reading!

Hey everyone!

Enjoying your summer?

Its HOT in LA, like a little too hot. I was born in the winter so im not really

fond of this heat. When I was in Vegas I did a little bit of shopping.

I was good and didn't spend too much!

My cousin Vicky gave me my early Christmas gift!

She bought me the Daycation Large Leila cosmetics bag from Kate Spade.

Its covered in giraffes that walk in pairs. She knows about my love for giraffes and just had to get it for me. Its part of their newest collection. Along with the make up bag, she gave me a matching

Keychain!!! Its adorable~ More and more I love Kate Spade because of her.

If any of you guys are subscribed to the Birchbox ( a monthly box that comes to your house with different samples of cosmetics products) you would have gotten Kate Spade's sample of their perfume Twirl.

I ended up becoming a big fan of this product so when I was Vegas I picked up the Large bottle. Again with the help of my cousin xDD

I actually don't like many perfumes so when I find one I like I must have it.

Do you have a favorite perfume??

So prettyyyyy. Its kinda heavy so I'm always afraid of holding it, I don't want to drop it.

Bath and Body works was having their 75% of Semi Annual sale.
Usually I don't buy anything. But when I saw they had full size Sweet Pea Lotion
I ended up getting two. Original Prize $10.50 each. I got them both for $5.
Sweet Pea is...heaven. It literally is the best scent they have there. Nothing else can compare. I'm like smelling it now as I type this.

Also I stopped by Victoria Secret for a Bra fitting and to pick up some Slice of Heaven lip gloss.
It seems every time I go to Victoria Secret I always get bigger..time for new bras.
I only wear VS's lip gloss. No one else's. Its my favorite and it goes with whatever lip stick I'm wearing.

Also from my last IMATS post I mentioned Napoleon Perdis giving $50 gift cards to those who are bloggers/youtubers. Although you can only use it at their concept stores it really is great for those who
are interested in trying their products.

After spending 1 hour in their store with their helpful staff members Deborah and Eric
I left with their Auto Pilot Skin Primer and their Foundation Stick in Look 4(my skin color).
Also they have me a small jar sample of their Auto Pilot Lip Service which is a lip conditioner to
repair and protect your lips. You only need a tiny dot to cover your lips completely so the small jar sample is actually pretty good!

I've been using this a lot. Its a water based primer. I pair it with my Make Up For Ever HD foundation for the perfect look and flawless skin. It was awesome especially in Vegas! Currently its my go to Skin Primer. I still have a lot left but I feel like you have to use quiet a good amount to get full coverage for your face. We shall see how long it last. If any of you have a good recommendation for a face primer
feel free to let me know!

Foundation Stick (Look 4)

I only tried this on in the store and I really liked the coverage. I have yet to use this any other day.

Once I get a proper brush to apply it with i'll get back to you on this.

The shop staff in the Topanga mall were very helpful and super friendly. Excellent customer service.
They also gave me a hand full of goodies to share with some of my readers. So expect to see those in my giveaways!

Onto the Blog Awards!
I recently received two actually O:
