Urban Decay Naked: Basics Pallet- First Impression & Swatches!
Hey guys! Something a little different on my blog this time, a first impressions post! I've recently bought the Urban Decay Naked Basics pallet (the naked two isn't available in the UK just yet) and instead of waiting and doing a review, i'd tell you guys what i thought of it for the first time! I've never used Urban Decay products before so this is a first impressions of the pallet, as well as first impressions of Urban Decay.
Enjoy!

Naked 2
Crave
(Sorry, they were the only colours i could properly swatch, the others came out too light on camera!)
Now, everyone knows of the Naked pallets by Urban Decay and they're highly raved about, so i was expecting big things! I thought i'd first try out the basics pallet as i wasn't brave enough (yet) to go for the full Naked pallets, but so far, i'm enjoying the basics one.
The colours are really neutral so i'll get a lot of everyday wear out of this, but what's good about it, is you can "dress them up" for a more night time look as well. It's mostly matte colours and a couple of satin colours as well. The matte colours are great for the lid and for the crease as well, the shimmer/satin colours are good for the highlighting the brow bone or the cheek bone etc. They're really pigmented, i haven't yet tried it with a primer but i've heard Urban Decay do some really good primers for their shadows, so that might be my next investment!
These shadows apply really well on the lid, they don't crease up, they blend out really easily as well so you don't need to spend to long blending out your eye shadow.
In terms of price, this isn't the cheapest pallet ever it's £22 from most places, i ordered mine from feelunique.com. So if you're tight on budget i maybe would hold off for a while before purchasing a Naked pallet, but they're worth the money if you want to splurge on yourself a little! If you're still a little unsure on buying a Naked pallet go to an Urban Decay stand and give a few of them a swatch, see what you think, but i think if you're willing to treat yourself they're a good first pallet!
Overall, i'm impressed with my first Naked pallet and i will probably be purchasing the bigger ones when i've gotten my use out of this lovely pallet first!
Any of you guys had a Naked pallet before, what did you think? If you've never had one, are you considering getting one? Let me know!
Thanks!
