The buzz about Urban Decay’s Naked Eyeshadow Palette ($48) has been nearly deafening since it launched last year. I never jumped in on the craze because the palette was unavailable for so long (sold out as soon as it was restocked), and then I rationalized that I didn’t need to drop nearly $50 on neutral shadows, when my kit is already brimming with them. Then I won one of these palettes from Leah at Sifting Thoughts (check out her lovely blog! It’s a daily read for me.) I have to say, this is the best giveaway I’ve ever won! This amazing palette contains 12 eyeshadow shades, UD’s Eye Primer Potion, and Good Karma Eyeshadow Brush.
First up, the shades:
- Virgin, frosted pale pinky-nude
- Sin, shimmering champagne
- Naked, a matte light brown
- Sidecar, a glittery taupe
- Buck, a matte nut brown
- Half Baked, a shimmery antique golden brown
- Smog, shimmering deep copper
- Darkhorse, a deep, rich, glitter-flecked brown/olive
- Toasted, shimmery, copper-tinged taupe
- Hustle, a gorgeously shimmering plummy purple (this photo does not do it justice!)
- Creep, glitter-flecked charcoal black
- Gunmetal, a blue-grey dotted with silver glitter.
