So while I gave you a comparison of Urban Decay Naked Palette 2 and 3 a while back, I didn’t have Naked 1 to add in. When the original Naked Palette came out, I fell into the hype—I mean a new eyeshadow palette that kept selling out? That’s a recipe for “OMG I NEED TO BUY THAT!!!” But then I got it and didn’t like it because I felt the shades were mostly too warm for me and for like the 2 or 3 shadows I’d probably only use, it didn’t justify the $54 price tag. Then the Naked 2 and Naked 3 came out and I was all like YASSSSS because they’re both amazing for me.
Then over Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, Urban Decay had a number of flash sales—one of which was any three eyeshadow singles for $30 or so. As I was looking for the shadows I wanted to get, I realized they were all in the Naked 1 palette and I knew Sephora VIB was going to come out with another gift card offer ($25 off a purchase of $50) so it made more sense for me to buy the entire palette for about the same price I would have paid for three individual shadows.
But I’m still like “meh” over the palette. I still find the shades to be much warmer than what I normally wear but even as I look at the swatches I took I’m all like “Ohhhhhhh” lol. I’m definitely team Naked 2 and 3, but I’ll continue to try and give Naked 1 a chance otherwise it’s going to my niece who always seems to miraculously hit pan on eyeshadow palettes after like a month. What is she doing? EATING the shadow? :x
Then I thought some of you would like to see a comparison of all three palettes even though it’s been AGES since the 3rd one came out but you know—better late than never :)
