Ah, Sunday morning.  My blogging time of choice :)

Today I have some swatches of a few of the NP Set Lipsticks that I have purchased over the past year or so.   NP Set is the more accessible line created by Australian make-up mogul Napoleon Perdis, which was created in 2008.  NP Set is sold primarily through Target US and Target Aus stores, as well as online and at Napoleon Perdis makeup counters and stores.


Hong Kong, Athens, Minneapolis and Denver

Wow, you can really see my freckles in these photographs.

Now, granted they all do look quite similar when on the lips - this is because all these shade are quite sheer, as you can see in the hand swatch.  The consistency between the four however is quite different.   Denver is by far the creamiest, but I find it the hardest to work with.  It can be quite...goopy.  Definitely not a colour you can apply by just swiping it on, but I do love the colour with a smoky eye, so I find it worth the extra effort.  Denver is probably my overall favourite - consistency is easy to apply (probably wouldn't need a mirror for this one), the colour is a "my-lips-but-better" colour, and feels quite moisturising.  Athens is another very creamy consistency, but I find it less goopy than Denver.  It tends to feel almost like a lip balm.  I like that.  Hong Kong is another 'lip balm', but probably my least favourite colour (although it did photograph quite nicely). 

Overall I do generally like these lipsticks - they are a good price for the quality.  I would definitely recommend checking these out next time you're in Target.  Have you tried anything else from the NP Set range?
