The Review....NAKED

Hi guys!

This week I'm back with a sort of review/chat about all three of the Urban Decay NAKED palettes.

Now all the hype in the blogging world has (sort of) calmed down in regards to the three Naked palettes and now I've actually had a chance to really test out the little beauties I wanted to give you my honest opinion of all three.

As they are so well known I'm not going to do an in depth review of every single shade in each one as that would take forever, but I do want to chat about my top picks from each palette.

Just a general comment about all three first of all: the original comes in card board packaging, with a magnet to keep it closed (not fabulous, but obviously it's what's inside that counts. 2 and 3 come in very durable tins, 2 has a sort of chrome look to it whilst 3 is more of a rose gold shade. Each one comes with 12 shadows in a range of finishes; you've got everything from mattes, demi mattes, satins, shimmers and full on glitters. All of the shades have a wonderfully buttery texture, which just makes the shadows a complete dream to work with.

Now let's have a look at the individual palettes. Starting with the original Naked palette. The shades are as follows: Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Gunmetal, Creep. This is the warmest of the three palettes, with a great range of gold and brown tones. There's also a really good mix of lighter shades and darker shades. The possibilities are literally endless! My favourite shade from the OJ Naked palette would have to be Sin- it's the perfect lid colour for a smoky look, but also looks really pretty just on it's own.

Moving on to Naked 2, this takes a cooler approach to neutrals, with more purple, taupe and grey tones to it. This tin comes complete with the following twelve shades:Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, Blackout. This palette is great for dark and smoky eyes. My favourite shade from this one is probably Chopper- slightly out of place with the rest of this colours, this shimmery copper shade really stands out and works really well with the other shades or simply blended all over the lid.

And finally the most recent edition to the "Naked" family, Naked 3. The is the rosy pink sister to the Original and Naked 2. Shades include; Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit, Buzz, Trick, Nooner, Liar, Factory, Mugshot, Darkside, Blackheart. This is such a pretty palette!! I've been having a bit of a pink love affair recently, so I've constantly been reaching for this. My favourite shade would have to be Buzz, a purpley pink shimmer. You can just do a light wash for a slight hint of colour or really build up the colour.

So there you have my thoughts on the three palettes! Do we think there could be a number 4 on it's way? Let's hope so!
