B E A U T Y | Urban Decay Naked Three Palette.

This post is long overdue. I have been wanting to finish my collection of the Naked palettes for a while now (check out my others here and here, like what I did there haha). I have had this one since it was first released I just never actually got around to doing it, so here it is. 

I have to firstly say, this definitely is my least favourite of the three, while the rose gold packaging and the colours are lovely, they just don't seem to appeal to me as much as the other two do. Whereas it is my friend Kat's favorite of the three, so it all depends on preference I think. One thing I do love about this palette though is that there are no repeats of the other two palettes in here, all of the shades are completely new.

As I mentioned in my review of the second palette, I really don't love the metal packaging, I much prefer the first ones suade effect packaging, it just seems much more sturdy, I always worry with these that the pans will fall out, touch wood so far mine haven't ha. However, I do love the brushes in the second and third in comparison to the first, I find the fluffy end great for blending for the perfect smokey eye and the flat end for packing on the colour for ultimate pigmentation. 

Again with the third palette I have to say again that the pigmentation and the quality of the shadows are fantastic. For the price I just think it is fantastic, it is a high end product but you are getting twelve shadows for £37. 

My favourite shades are  Burnout, Buzz, Trick, Noomer, Mugshot and Blackheart.

B E A U T Y | Urban Decay Naked Two Palette.

For a long time I was umming and aahing about whether or not I wanted to actually buy the Naked Two. I am generally really pale and the colours in the palette are really cool toned, so I thought that it would just wash me out. Oh I was so very wrong, I absolutely love it and I tend to turn to it an awful lot more than I ever thought I would. 

When I went to buy it the woman at the counter was so lovely, I was chatting away to her about how I wasn't too sure about whether it was for me or not, so she offered to do my make up for me. Of course I jumped at the opportunity and I really loved the way she did it. I think she mainly used Bootycall, Chopper, YDK and Busted. She went for more of an everyday neutral look and it really did look great.

As I mentioned in my blog post about the Naked One Palette the packaging in the Second and Third ones definitely isn't my favourite. I really don't like the fact that it feels like it could snap every time I open it, or the fact that it is literally just a tin can. For the price I would hope that it would be a little more luxurious, but hey ho.

However, the brush in the Second and Third is much better than that of the one in the First, the fluffy end is such a great addition. The flat end allows you to compact the colour that you want onto your eye, then the fluffy end helps you to blend it all together and even smoke it out if you wanted.

The colour range is again absolutely fantastic yet again in this palette, there are so many combinations and it's just so versatile. It can take you from an everyday neutral look to a dramatic smokey look for a night out. 

My most used colours are:

- Bootycall

- Chopper
- Pistol

- Verve
- YDK

- Busted
- Blackout
(Pretty much all of them...)

From left to right:
Foxy (perfect base colour)
Half-Baked
Bootycall (perfect tear-duct colour)
Chopper

Tease (also a great base colour)

Snakebite
Suspect
Pistol (great for a subtle smokey eye)

 Verve (also great for the tear-duct)

YDK

Busted
Blackout (my ultimate favourite eye shadow for a dramatic smokey eye)

B E A U T Y | Urban Decay Naked Palette One.

As you can tell my Naked palette has definitely seen better days. I'd just call it well loved. When I say this is most definitely the best thing in my make up collection, I am not exaggerating. It is my go to product on almost a daily basis. 

The thing about the Naked palettes is that everyone will have a particular one that is their favourite, and although I do love the other two, this is by far my number one. I would say that the reason for this is that the colour variations are brilliant and leave you spoiled for choice. The pigmentation of all of the colours is also amazing while it allows you to build it up for a more dramatic look. Not only is the pigmentation great, but they are also so easily blended, which for me was essential as this was when I first started experimenting with eyeshadow, and to be honest had no idea what I was doing. 

Another reason for it being my favourite out of the three is the packaging. I love the feel of the felt casing, while feeling luxurious it also feels so much more sturdy and secure. For the price you would want to be ensured that you're getting your moneys worth and it is going to last. Whereas the second and the third palette are in a tin casing, where I have heard that the colours can fall out and the lid can snap just after a short amount of time. 

The only thing I will say about the first palette is that the brush is not as good as the others. While it is great for the crease, there is no way for you to blend the eyeshadows purely with that brush. Yet in the other two palettes there is another end to the brush which allows you to blend as well.

From top to bottom:
Virgin
Sin
Naked

I believe that every girl NEEDS this palette in their lives.
