Let’s get NAKED with the Urban Decay Naked Palette….

I am pleased to report that I am the official owner of the uber popular NAKED Palette.  Now I contemplated this purchase for sometime – however the short supply pretty much helped me in making the decision to NOT purchase the palette (or should I say the short supply stopped me from seeking out the palette).  Low and behold I’m out and about shopping in my local town center and I made a pit stop into ULTA and to my surprise there were 2 NAKED Palette’s waiting to be purchased, and although it wasn’t in my budget I splurged and I whipped out the credit card.

I was sooo excited to get home and play with this palette, but I had to run errands so I settled for sitting in the car and opening the package. I took in every inch of the palette (did I mention that when I opened the package I swear the heaven’s gate opened and I heard the all important AHHHHHHHHHHHHH?)…  The first thing that impressed me was the sexiness of the chocolate brown velveteen palette which in my opinion is tres’ chic, and the next thing that impressed me was the feel of the shadows, it was like touching silk, and since I’m making comparisons to fabric, I may as well go all the way and add that the shadows glide on the lid like satin gliding off of one’s skin (it IS that NICE)… 

WHAT a great purchase, and since I’m on a quest to embrace “barely there” makeup I had no choice but to get NAKED with the Urban Decay Naked Palette.   It has become my new go to (everyday) palette. 

So let me tell you my pros and cons of getting NAKED with the Urban Decay Naked Palette…

Pros:

•  At 44.00 bucks you can’t beat the price!   You get 12 awesome colors (virgin, sin**, naked**, sidecar, buck**, half baked, smog, darkhorse**, toasted, hustle, creep, and gunmetal**), a 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in two colors (and this pencil GLIDES on) and the oh so popular Urban Decay Primer Potion (affectionately known as UDPP).  Now, $44.00 bucks might be a little steep for some of you, but as I always say, you get what you pay for, and this palette of joy is pure quality… (asterisks’ = absolute favorites)

•  If you let your creative mind wander the possibilities are endless with this awesome palette.  Most importantly the palette can be used for both day and evening looks, and all looks in between!  lol you can “Smoke it out” “Glam it up” or “Get your NUDE on” ---  I can’t stress this enough, the possibilities are endless…

• The packaging is awesome and makes for a perfect palette for ladies who spend a great deal of time on the road, or in the air…  or better yet for the ladies who spend a lot of time at her “boo’s” house!  lol

• A major plus for me is that this palette is perfection for us women of color…   

• A little product goes a very long way… no need to be heavy handed with Urban Decay’s NAKED palette, so remember to start out light and build as you create.

Cons:

• NONE!

• On second thought… being the matte junkie that I am, I wish there were a few more matte textures.

Now, I’m new to this whole makeup blogging thing, I have yet to post pics (soon to come), and other than the fact that I simply adore all things beauty I have no true credentials, so with that said, I would highly recommend purchasing the Urban Decay Naked Palette… the quality of the eye shadows are phenomenal, it offers a nice mix of textures from glitter to shimmer to matte,  and the palette can take you from day to night, and it’s a lovely palette for a beginner.

What are you waiting for?  Stop thinking about it, and GET NAKED!
