Swatch Watch: Urban Decay Naked Palette

Swatch watch. Good luck saying that 10 times in a row. Hahahaa. This is another new (well it has a new name anyway) series on my blog - yay!

First of all, thank you to everyone who has entered my giveaway, and to those who haven't already - enter now!

I have an obsession with Urban Decay, I'm not gonna lie. When I discovered the Primer Potion, I was in love and I still use it every single day without fail. Their Skyscraper mascara was amazing and if I could buy it here, I probably wouldn't ever use another mascara.
Everything they come out with immediately goes on my makeup wishlist - I'm so annoyed that we don't have it in New Zealand!

I turned to ebay when I heard about the Naked palette, I knew it was the only way I could get my hands on this little gem - sure it was ridiculously overpriced and close to half my week's wages went on it, but I was sure it'd be worth it.
I'm happy to say that my assumption was right, this palette was worth every cent! The colours are gorgeous and I can confidently say that they would suit everyone, no matter what eye colour or skin tone they have.

So what do you get? 12 gorgeous neutral eyeshadows and a double ended 24/7 eyeliner in Whiskey/Zero (yeah I have the original one, the new one comes with an eyeshadow brush) AND a nifty little travel size Primer Potion - so cute!

All swatches were applied without a base, so you can see that these eyeshadows are really pigmented! Honestly one to two light swipes is all I need to cover my eyelids, I'm not even kidding. I've used it so much since I got it and I've hardly made a dent in it at all!
The double ended eyeliner was actually an unexpected love for me, it's so creamy yet seems to stay put. What else could you possibly wish for?

If you don't have this palette, then seriously go out and get it. You won't be disappointed!
Thanks for viewing!

  3. Chelly - I'm loving it seriously! I use it almost everyday just because it has all those gorgeous everyday colours that look amazing on. So recommend it!

    Potionprincess - I know right!! Ebay is a huge rip off most of the time, but usually still cheaper than buying stuff here. We get way ripped off here in NZ :P

  4. Hi, to anyone wanting Urban Decay in NZ, i've just started selling it on sella, with happy customers. Just do a search for trader "sellabella".

    If your going to pay for quality, don't risk buying it off ebay where 9/10 they are fake chinese copies. I found my registered, official stockist/supplier when looking for Urban Decay and YSL for myself. I wasn't about to waste my hard earned money on fake crap.
