I was beyond excited to hear about this palette's release. After being a huge fan of the 'Undressed' palette, one of the best dupes around for Urban Decays 'Naked' palette, I just knew I had to have MUA's latest offering, a dupe for Urban Decays 'Naked 2' palette. I have actually been considering buying the Naked 2 palette for a while, because I am seriously lacking in cool toned eyeshadows, so my bank balance is definitely happier that this came along at a bargainous £4.00!
This palette contains 12 highly pigmented mixture of matte and shimmery eyeshadows, three matte shadows and nine shimmery ones. Whilst the three matte shades, Naked, Lavish & Corrupt, are nothing to shout about, they do have a fair bit of pigment in them and in my opinion is as good as you're going get on the high street. The nine shimmery shades, Devotion, Shy, Fiery, Dreamy, Tranquil, Exposed, Reveal, Wink & Obsessed, however are absolutely beautiful shades. My favourite has to be Tranquil, such a gorgeous and subtle daily shade. These shadows are also very long lasting, when paired with my MUA Eye Primer, they last all day, and thats not easy on my oily eyelids. They are soft and very blendable, the only shade I wasn't at all impressed with was Lavish, it seems to have virtually no pigment and I had to really try to get the swatch I got below. So I'm not sure whether I just got a dud pan or whether that shadow is just very poor quality, I'd like to think its the former purely because the other shades are all such good quality.
Overall this palette is definitely going to be finding its way into my daily routine, did I mention that I loved how MUA have now named the shadows, to me that makes such a difference than just Shade 1, etc.
Will you be getting this palette?
