Who says "neutral" has to be boring?

Urban Decay Naked 2 palette review

Hello wonderful people of the internet !

After moping and (unsuccessfully) attempting to save up for months, my suuuuper duper boyfriend surprised me with the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette! And I absolutely LOVE it! 

I've been experimenting with different looks using the palette and I can safely say that, surprisingly, this is a very versatile palette! I, like many people, thought "that must be boring, just a bunch of neutral shades". HOWEVER, you can easily go from a day look to a night look and transform your look from neutral and natural to edgy and exciting. And once again, Urban Decay takes something very ordinary and puts their own unique spin on it. Even though they're all neutral shades, most have a very striking shimmer/glitter in them and it gives a great range of Urban Decay's best neutral eyeshadows.

If, however, you are NOT a fan of shimmery eyeshadows, this palette is definitely not for you. This palette only contains 3 matte shades (blackout, tease and foxy). 

My absolute favourite shade in the palette is Busted. It's such a unique shade: I've never seen anything like it! In the pan it looks purple but on the skin, it's almost a dark brown shade. It's very easy to create an edgy look with this eyeshadow - it can make the perfect Smokey eye! 

I don't have a least favourite eyeshadow in this palette - to me, they all have their own unique properties and, depending on what you want, there's definitely a shade to create the kind of look you want!

Also, the palette comes with the Karma double-ended brush which is very high quality and does exactly what is expected of it! On a practical side, it's very easy to clean and means if you purchase the palette, you don't need to buy a separate brush for it!

The lip junkie lip gloss that comes with the palette has a really great texture (not too sticky) and is  a really interesting colour - it gives the lips a great sheen and a pop of colour. I love the packaging too!!

Now, I'm definitely trying to get my hands on some more urban decay products! I really want to try out the Naked palette to compare it with the Naked 2. Also, I want to try some of the eyeshadows that Urban Decay is famous for - some bright colours!

All in all, I am a huuuuge Urban Decay fan and, if I could have just one brand of cosmetics- I know which one I'd choose!! I salute you Urban Decay cosmetics! Keep up the good work!
