Beauty: Urban Decay Naked Palette 1

 

Yehey! Finally I got my hands on the original Naked Palette 1. I know, I am too late on the craze but finally after some intense decision making haha. I did ask my friend to buy me one from SG and boy, I know now why everyone go gaga over this beautiful palette.

This palette composed of 12 beautiful shades namely:

• Virgin eye shadow – Nude satin
• Sin eye shadow – Champagne shimmer
• Naked eye shadow – Buff matte
• Sidecar – Beige with glitter
• Buck – Brown matte
• Half Baked – Bronze shimmer
• Smog – Golden brown shimmer
• Darkhorse – Dark bronze shimmer
• Toasted – Taupe shimmer
• Hustle – Mocha shimmer
• Creep – Black with sparkle
• Gunmetal - Dark grey with sparkle

The first time I used this palete for that soft smokey eyes, I noticed that there are some fallouts. Regardless, the longevity is really superb even without putting an eye shadow primer. I really love  how each shade compliment each other. The matte shades are perfect for base color and the shimmery shades are perfect for creating that glowing eye look.

This is gonna be the most expensive makeup item. Nevertheless, I am happy that I did purchased this.

This is really useful whether it be for a bridal makeup,special occasions makeup or a simple everyday makeup. So for those makeup lovers out there who would like to invest on a good neutral shades palette, this is really a good one. I'm eying the Bobbi brown rich chocolate once, and did want that over the UD nakedpalette. However, UD palette has 12 shades compared to the Bobbi Brown one so I did chose the UD naked palette 1.

I know that UD Naked Palette 3 is coming this 2013 and from what I have researched  from Temptalia, the naked 3 has pink shades which for me is a win win. I love pinks and it really do flatters my brown eyes, so if ever i would have some extra money for the naked palette 3, I might give in. but I know that would a splurge, and so I know I might pass on that one.

Where to buy?

My friend bought this one for me at Sephora SG since this is not available to us locally.

Go ahead Ladies! Till ou next beauty session!

Beauty: Urban Decay Naked Palette 2 | Neutral Eyeshadow Palette

Urban Decay Naked Palette 2

The most coveted neutral palette that was raved by beauty bloggers, makeup enthusiasts and vain at heart.

Naked Palette 2, is the next line up after the Naked Palette 1.This eyeshadow consists of neutral colors which are easy to play with your eyes. Perfect for those who love natural looking makeup, not over the top colors. It comes with a gloss, which I was not able to post in here. I had once an eye on this during its first release, however the price was too steep and I rethink about buying it. Fortunately there was a beauty bazaar and I bought this half the price! 

The palette consists of 12 shades which are in the shade of brown, black and gray. Great for that soft smokey eye looks that actress Mila Kunis is sporting a lot these days. You can have a brown smokey eye look at work or create that sultry seductive smokey eyes on special occasions. You can never go wrong with just a swipe of a brown eyeshadow on your eyelids for that natural looking eye look.

The most anticipated sequel of the decade! Our new palette is meticulously packed with 12 Taupe + Greige Neutrals.

The most anticipated sequel of the decade. Naked2 has 12 pigment-rich, taupe and greige neutral eyeshadows. Our palette proves once again, neutral is anything but boring, (and is downright sexy when worn Naked). Feast your eyes on our shades ranging from pale to deep, matte to sparkly. This collection lets you achieve lots of neutral looks, smoky dramatic eyes, and everything in between. Let's just say there's a whole new way to get Naked!

The case has an art-school inspired look with hinged lid – taupe metal with embossed chocolate brown artwork. It's smooth, modern and cool to the touch – a real tactile experience. Plus, our palette also features a travel-size Lip Junkie Lipgloss in Naked, AND a double-ended, cruelty-free Good Karma Shadow/Crease Brush (available only in this palette). Any self-respecting makeup lover will have to have both palettes to get their complete neutral fix!

Fill Weight: Eyeshadow: 12 x 1.3g e 12 x 0.05 US oz, Lip Junkie: 3.23ml e 0.11 US fl oz

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT NAKED 2 PALETTE?

• it has shades that is suitable for everyday wear
• the colors are pigmented
• very versatile

WHAT I HATE ABOUT NAKED 2 PALETTE?

• kinda bulky on your makeup bag
• pricey
• some of the matte shades are almost the same with one another
• doesn't stay long on my eye lids so better use an eye primer

For me, you can check out other neutral palettes in the market such as those from Bobbi Brown, Maybelline and Laura Mercier which are nice too! This palette has only been used once when I had a wedding to attend. Other than that, I always use my MAC Faux Gold on my eye lids which I had reviewed on this link:
