Did anyone watch this? It was on TLC. I DVRd the last handful of episodes in Dec, when I found out about it. I was kind of surprised that it didn't pop onto the radar here. I mean, Napoleon's bad tan and silly clothes aside, we all love a makeup show. There wasn't even any info on the TLC website when the show was airing.

Does anyone know if that was the first time it ran or was I catching reruns of a show that ran a year ago? lol

Oh and one other thing I noticed. At the end of the show, Napoleon was discussing what the winner would get. One of the prizes was representing Napoleon Perdis "through personal appearances (then camera goes off of Napoleon and you can clearly tell the next line is dubbed in) "at my retail partner Ulta." I also noticed that Sephora lumped the Napoleon products into the huge sale they just had. He only has two products left for sale on Sephora, so it appears they are cutting ties. I am guessing the line he originally said was, "my retail partner Sephora."

Side note, it appears Sephora is doing the same with Vincent Longo's line, as they slashed and burned his products during the sale, as well.

I wonder about the Perdis line, and how long it will last. It's now at Target, as "NP". Prices are still quite up there. Not sure if the Target line is any different from his original line. I wonder if Sephora killed the line at their stores, because of the Target deal?

Anyway, this show sounds like a bit of a hoot. Had no idea about it, too bad I missed it!

Hmm...maybe? Good point. One thing about the Napoleon Perdis line (in the US market) is that I don't really think of the line and associate it with something. It's just kind of there. Like with MAC, you think of edgy, trendy. Bobbi Brown, you think basic beautiful, mature beauty. With Napoleon, it's ???? I also think that his pricing has a part to play in it. The line is just kind of basic and more expensive than a lot of his more dynamic competitors.

Yep, it was a competition with 2 challenges per episode like Blush. The winner would become Napoleon's protege.

I feel duty bound the point out that this man does not represent make-up in Australia.

Just... yeah. This man does not represent me.

Wha? I am glad you pointed that out. I figured since you were into makeup and and Aussie, you probably had the same orange tan, wore bedazzled suit jackets and super-tight, junk-baring jeans.

YOU FOUND OUT OH SHI...

I mean, uh, no. Nothing like that at all.

Um.

I actually watched like... 2 episodes... but they aired at 7 in the morning because Perdis said he loved the idea of having people watch his show in the morning and being happy for the rest of the day (wth??) lol but anyways I'm long gone from my house at 7 in the morning so I was only able to watch 2 episodes...

This show was actually really good though!!! I really wish I could see the episodes, I have tried every website I know (Surf the channel, greatstufftv, dailymotion, hulu) yet I can't find it, and also TLC doesn't sell it on their discovery store...

So if anyone finds a way to see those episodes, PM me or write in this thread!!

That's why I thought I might be watching reruns, as I couldn't find the show anywhere. Hmmm???

At the counter where I go for my MUFE downtown Mtl, they had a sale before christmas for NP products, everything was 50% off...

Maybe they are d/c it?
I hear somewhere that they use La Femme products an relabel them...

Well, from what I was able to find out, TLC ran the show M-F at 7am for two weeks straight, new episode each morning. So if you weren't a morning person or had a reason to get up that early everday, you would have missed it.
