I like the NARS primer, it's really good. I find it better than the others I've tried as far as color intensity is concerned. It's a bit better for longevity as well; I get a couple of extra hours than other primers before it starts creasing. I have oily partially hooded lids for reference.

First finger is the bottom row, the other 3 fingers are the top row in order left to right.

Nice pictures, thanks! 
I think I'll get this gift set, even though I do have some of the eyeshadows already, and I have a mini eyeshadow primer. But I've been wanting this brush for a while, and there's no way I'm paying full price for it. Plus the eyeshadows are good neutrals, so it's not like I wouldn't use them eventually.
What can you say about the brush, have you tried it?

thanks for the swatches
i have so many mac neutrals that i have a feeling i can dupe all of these shadows so its a pass for me. i only own 1 nars shadow and thats Grenadines and i think im satisfied with that. Im more into nars skin and face products. no lips/eyes really attract me so much. (i actually use nars laguna bronzer as my everyday shadow lol)

I have very dry lids and UD works great. I also love love Lorac, it's very similar to UD but hase little bit more tint to it. I recommended it to a friend with a very oily lids and she loves it. She also hated NArs and returned it.
The only one I hated is Too faced. Eyeshadows faded in couple of hours. That never happened to me with any other primer.

Hmm, I'm going to have to play around when my Laura Mercier stuff starts running low. Thank you for all the input. I know you ladies are saying that the palette is smaller than originally thought, but how small is it actually?

I wonder as well. Can a kind soul please photograph it next to a single or duo eyeshadow? Or even an "old" 6-shadow palette?

I don't have a singleton to photograph since these are my first Nars e/s however according to sephora website a single e/s contains .07oz of product and this one contains 6 shades at .03oz each. That is significantly smaller. You get you get @ 2 1/2 singles worth of shadow .18 oz divied up 6 ways

I probably would have learned my math much faster if I had thought of it in eye shadow pans. Thank you for looking this up and congrats on the expansion of your NARS collection.

The palette itself is 4 long by 3 3/4 wide. Each es rectangle is about an inch long by 3/4 wide

Yup, I think I'm definitely going to have to get this one. I really like the neutrals and I've wanted to try the Nars primer for a while. So far, primers and I have not gotten along. I stick by my Mac paint pots, because UD Primer Potion creased within seconds on me and Benefit's Stay, Don't Stray seemed to make shades look muted or muddy.

Thanks for the size, ladies. I've had to convert everything, because oz and inches don't speak to me.
Someone on Sephora posted a review for the gift set and included 2 pictures, including one with a NARS blush so you can compare the size:

I tried the primer today. I am not a lover of any eye primers as they just seem dry & mute the actual colors on my lids. I have dry to normal skin & I love shadows just they way they are on my natural naked skin & I never have problems with shadows or liners fading away.
The shadow that is the far right third color on the top row makes a lovely blending crease color & under the bottom lash line color.
