Urban Decay’s Naked Palette Review
About a week or two I finally received it in the mail, right after they announced The Naked Palette 2. I know a lot of people have mixed reviews on the second one but I’m going to talk about the first Naked Palette, mainly how much I like it.
The Packaging: It’s magnetic which is nice and easy to use, it isn’t going to open up by itself, which is something you defiantly do not want. It seems to made of out cardboard but it’s a very pretty looking palette both inside and out. My only complaint is the velvet outside of the packaging because I have two dogs that shed a lot so I’m finding their fur all over it even if it’s put away. Lastly, is the tiny mirror in the inside, it comes with a clear plastic cover over it for protection but I think the mirror is way to small.
The Brush: I have never used an Urban Decay brush and I really love it. I have some cheap random brushes that I normally use for my eyes. This brush is soft and it’s nice and sturdy, I just really love it. I know the original Palette came with a double ended eyeliner and I’m glad they changed it.
The Primer Potion: I’ve already reviews the Primer Potion here.
The Colors: Oh man these colors are awesome, very well pigmented and easy to apply and there are so many different looks you can create with this palette. Though there are only two matte colors, it’s still lovely. I love to get neutral colors for everyday looks and since getting this I can use it everyday for neutral looks which makes me happy. [Colors from left to right: Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Dark Horse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, Gunmetal]
Overall I really don’t have any negative comments about this Do I think it’s pricey? Yes. But normally Urban Decay eyeshadows run for about 17 dollars each. In this you are getting 12 shadows for 48 dollars. If you were to buy 12 Urban Decay eyeshadows it would cost you 204 dollars, assuming I did my math right.
I’m going to rate this a 5 / 5.
