I Got Naked 2

For all of you who are familiar with the Urban Decay Naked Pallets, you will know that I am fashionably late in posting my review of the latest and greatest, Naked 2 Pallet. This is primarily due to the fact that it was sold out everywhere! But alas, it was this Blonde's birthday last weekend, and I finally got my hands on one {thanks Mom and Dad}.

Reasons why I heart Naked 2:

un. I am a huge fan of neutrals--neutrals clothes, neutral makeup, neutral decor.
deux. The shadows themselves are very pigmented and have great color payoff.
trois. The pallet will last you a long time. Yes, it retails for $50, but consider this--I picked up the original Naked Pallet around Christmas of 2010 and used it quite frequently throughout 2011. I still have the original and have only started to hit pan on few of my go to shades. {Bargain ladies, a bargain}

Have a look...

 And now for the close-up...

Shades from left to right : Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite,  Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, Blackout.

How 'bout those names! So far my favorite shades have been Pistol, Verve, and YDK {possible look tutorial to follow}


This time around, the palette is equipped with a dual sided brush {one side for packing on the color, and the other for blending} and a sample size of their lip gloss in the shade "Naked." I have to say I think that I prefer the brush vs. the double sided eyeliner that was included in the first edition--it's a nice quality, and makes the pallet an easy choice when traveling.

Despite the variety of palettes that I have built myself from MAC or Make Up Forever, I always find myself reaching for this. It's really everything your need for an everyday look and a great starter piece for those just diving in to the art of makeup!

Happy Sunday! {Does anyone else hate when people say "Sunday Funday"?? Just sayin'...}
