Anyways, this post is long overdue but I wanted to get it up for you still. I purchased the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette the week of Christmas and it arrived at the beginning of January, so as far as the shipping aspect is concerned it was pretty darn fast!
Since receiving it, I've played with it a couple times. I actually did a look this past weekend that I really liked and I'll probably do a tutorial on it in the near future! I don't have the other two Naked palettes because I wasn't really excited about them because the shades were so dark. I mainly wear neutral colors on a daily basis and sometimes darken it up on the days where I'm going out with friends or nights when I have a gig with my band. But once this palette was released, I got really excited about it because it has neutral shades in it as well as a couple darker shades towards the end of the palette.
Here's some pictures of the palette itself and the shades in it as well as the dual ended brush that comes with it, which I love!
It has the same outer metal packaging that the naked 2 came in, which I actually like. Because if you drop it, the shadows have a lesser chance of breaking. I think the outer packaging is absolutely gorgeous because its got that rosegold color to it :)
Here's a look at the shades:
You've got a variety of shades in here but it leans towards a more rosy tone than the other two palettes. I've looked at the other two, and this palette is completely different from the first two. You know how the second palette overlapped some shades from the first? Well, this palette has 12 brand new never before seen shades, which I think is awesome!
I've give you a rundown of the shades from left to right: oh before I do that, also wanted to mention that there are 3 matte shades and the rest are all shimmer. From what I can tell blackheart is the only shade that has some good bits of glitter in it, otherwise the "shimmery" shades are just a slight shimmer or kind of metallic looking as well as some "pearly" shades.
Alright, here's the shade names from left to right:
- Strange (matte white)
- Dust (shimmery light pink)
- Burnout (Metallic light brownish)
- Limit (matte dusty pink)
- Buzz (shimmery rosy pink)
- Trick (shimmery pinky bronze)
- Nooner (matte dusty rose)
- Liar (shimmery pink)
- Factory (shimmery plum brown)
- Mugshot (shimmery taupe)
- Darkside (shimmery deep purple)
- Blackheart (black with pink shimmer)
So overall, I'm really happy with this palette and I can't wait to use it more! I'll be doing a tutorial with it soon using the shades *Liar, *Mugshot, *Nooner and *Strange for my browbone highlight, which is the look I wore this past Saturday night out with one of my band members and then I wore it again on Sunday for the church that we were privileged to lead worship at. Anyways, so that video will be coming soon as well as a "what's new at the drugstore" video just as soon as I can get a few more products :)
Have a wonderful night y'all and I'll be blogging again soon!
