Come onnn baby turn off the lights let's get NAKED

Thinking of the title for this post and I automatically thought of the song Naked by Marques Houston. Perfect title for this product! :)

Urban Decay's... The Naked Palette.

Sleek, Soft velvet packaging. 

12 gorgeous neutral colors.

I've heard about the huge "rave" over this product and when I saw it advertising, I fell in love! It's currently out of stock on Urbandecay.com, Sephora.com and Ulta.com. Pretty much anywhere online, as far as I know. It's a product THAT popular. At first I had a really hard time getting my hands on one. Urbandecay.com and Sephora.com was sold out and I even signed up to be on the "notification" email list when they go back in stock again. Then, I almost forgot about Ulta! So I go online and they happen to JUST put out the Naked palette on their online site. So I took no chances and bought it. It retails for approx. $44. It seems pricey, but you do get 12 shades with a double eyeliner pencil and a mini primer potion (eyeshadow primer). One single eyeshadow from Urban Decay cost $17! To me, you're definitely getting your $$$ worth. Btw, It's a permanent product not a limited edtion, which is a good thing! :)

  I just absolutely love natural/neutral colors for everyday. It's just perfect for anyone and everyone of all skin tones. Colors ranging from matte to shimmer finishes which give you the option to play up with different looks. You can go from very natural eye to a darker/smokier eye.

Colors left-right: Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked

Colors: Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, Gunmetal

Liked I said, there's a mixture of matte and shimmer shades. The two matte shades are Naked and Buck. The rest are either vibrant shimmers or subtle like Virgin, which is a good highlight for the brow bone. The only "bad" part of some of Urban Decay's eyeshadows is that some are made with unnecessary chunky glitter which causes glitter fallout on your face (annoying); those shades are Creep and Sidecar. Besides that, I can live with it since the whole product is LOVE :]

SWATCHES: *In order from the colors listed above.

 

Nice colors right? Mmmhm.

*Remember, it comes with a double "24/7 eyeliner pencil" which I believe are the BEST. The colors are Zero, a dark black and Whiskey, a warm chocolate brown. Also, it comes with a small mini tube of the primer potion which is used before applying eyeshadow to prevent creasing and long lasting color.

Do I recommend this product? Oh, OF COURSE! It's my all time favorite palette right now. It's going to be a little hard to find, but hey... at least it's not going anywhere! Enjoy.

Much Love,

Marissa
