Urban Decay's Naked Palette

Mine finally arrived! After a faulty order the first time through in November, Macy's sent me a replacement giftcard and I was able to re-order once Macy's Urban Decay had stocked back up. I'm happy to report that this time there was no issue, and due to the issues last time, they refunded me S&H this go around.

As I've mentioned before, I'm obsessed with neutrals and have been abusing my poor Benefit creaseless eye shadows like there's no tomorrow lately. This palette will be an incredible addition to R.S.V.P & Flatter Me (which can be used as bases for the UD colors or alone, as washes or in full looks).

I tore into it yesterday and was rewarded with the richest powder shadows I've ever seen. I've used Clinque and Estee Lauder powders before and while they're nice, they in no way compare to the texture of Urban Decay! They're decadent, boldly pigmented, and are beautiful to work with.

The packaging is gorgeous as well-- velvet exterior, simple on the inside with a very usable mirror.

Without a doubt, it's everything I expected it to be and even more! I'm very excited to break it out tonight for my birthday celebration! Depending on what the look turns out like, I'm thinking of pairing it with Benefit's Nice Knickers or Jing-a-Ling (favorite pink color, favorite nude).

Anyway! I just wanted to share since I wrote about the palette way back when and then never said anything else.

Hope you're all doing well!
Cheers.
