What is it? Urban Decay's new Naked Palette, "features 12 eyeshadows that have a distinctly Urban look, yet work for everyone. These neutrals won't leave you naked. THIS is how Urban Decay does neutral: Far from boring, the Naked Palette includes 5 new shades (with names like Buck, Darkhorse, and Virgin) in addition to seven of the brand's most addictive best-selling eyeshadows. This is a shadow palette that everyone will want, everyone can use, and everyone will buy. Experiment with office-appropriate neutrals, summertime bronzy looks, or sultry smokiness (achieve golden, brownie, or grey-hued shade combos). Plus, you get an exclusive double-ended version of the award-winning 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero (black) and Whisky (a warm brown shade without sparkle) and a mini genie bottle of Eyeshadow Primer Potion. With all this at your fingertips you'll hardly need clothes at all." Available at Ulta and Sephora for $44.
What did you think? I picked up this palette after hearing way too much buzz about it...surprising since I'm not usually one to give into hype. Also surprising because I am not the world's #1 fan of Urban Decay--I find their eyeshadows to be a bit too sparkly for me as a rule. But this palette? OMFG! I love it!
I wear neutral eyeshadows almost every day, so I love having so many options to pick from. I also like that UD didn't include a winky-dink brush with the palette and instead threw in a double-ended eyeliner that, quite frankly, rocks. Also nice is the added bottle of primer, a product I rarely use but one that's good to have on hand.
The final verdict? Love it! I love that there are so many colors to play with...and that UD included several non-glittery shades that are, as they mentioned, work appropriate. I'm glad I gave into the hype and picked up this palette. Give it a try for yourself!
