Once again, e.l.f. surprises me with an amazing makeup product this is super cheep. This 48 color eye shadow (each shadow is small) palette is only $5! You can buy this awesome palette here. I really like the color selection in this palette, there are a bunch of neutral shades and some more colorful shades for when you want something different. The pigmentation is overall very good, some shades are better than others. This is a palette I couldn’t live with out!

Today I am going to review one of my all time favorite eye shadow palettes, the Naked 2 palette by Urban Decay! I love the colors in this palette, and use it almost every day. The Naked 2 palette is usually $50, at Sephora.com or UrbanDecay.com. I think that price is well worth it because you get 12 high quality shadows, a double sided “good karma” eye shadow brush, and a mini lipgloss. The palette first came in the box like this:
This palette has very sturdy and good looking packaging, and the mirror is nice and big. The “Lip Junkie” lip gloss in Naked (0.11oz), is a really pretty neutral medium red/pink color that I love. The double ended brush in this palette is the BEST brush I own, and I use it even in looks that I don’t use this palette for.
The inside…
Shades:
Foxy: Matte creme highlight
Half Baked: Super Shimmery gold
Booty Call: Slightly metallic Matte pink
Chopper: Metallic copper with glitter in it, I like the color but not the glitter
Tease: Matte grayish lavender
Snake Bite: Dark shimmery brown
Suspect: Light Shimmery brown
Pistol: Shimmery Gray
Verve: Shimmery light brown/white
YDK: Super Shimmery light pinkish brown
Busted: Metallic Dark purple
Blackout: Super pigmented matte black
This palette is amazing quality, with tons of pretty colors. There are only three matte colors, Foxy, Tease, and Blackout. Booty call and Busted have a slight shimmer, Half Baked, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, and Verve are shimmery, and YDK is super shimmery. Chopper is the only color that has small pieces of glitter in it. All of the colors (except blackout) are light (Foxy, Booty call) or mid toned so, if you want a big variety, many matte colors, and/or a darker look this may not be the best palette for you. But, if you are like me and like a more natural look with some shine, this is the perfect palette for you. I have heard that the original Naked palette has more variation in color darkness. Also, take in to consideration that this palette has more cool toned colors, and the original Naked palette has warmer toned colors. One other thing I like about this palette and gloss is the fact that they both have a slight minty sweet smell (that is very hard to describe).
