Let's get Naked



I finally bought myself the Naked Palette 2! I was so excited! I wanted this eye shadow palette for so long, but I waited because it is pricey. Although I love my palette, I think everyone can agree with me that it is overpriced. I had a hard time deciding between the Naked Palette 1 and 2. The 1 had more brown earthy colors while the 2 had taupe and neutral colors. I am a bit sad that the Naked Basics Palette came out a few weeks after I bought my Naked Palette 2 because I'm more of a neutral girl for my eyes. BUT, the Naked Palette 2 has a really good range of colors, so I do feel happy with my purchase! (Especially because I only spend $20 on it since I got a $30 Sephora gift card for my birthday!)
(Above are some swatches of the colors in the palette)

The Naked 2 Palette includes 3 matte eye shadows. The rest have some sparkle in them. My favorite colors so far are Chopper, Suspect and YDK. The Naked 2 Palette comes with a dual ended eye shadow brush and a lip gloss, unlike the original palette. Overall, I think this palette is very nice and neutral, and has met my high expectations! Are there any other palettes that you love?

Palettes I want to try:

Stila In The Light Palette
I really want to try this because it is such a good deal. The palette is $39 all together. The eyeliner individually sells for $20! The only reason I haven't bought this is because of how it's similar to my Naked 2 Palette and the eyeliner. I do not like the Stila Smudgeproof Eyeliner at all! I bought one is stingray and returned it because it smudged all over the place and ended up under my eyes most of the time. I had used primer under this as well, so I just don't think this eyeliner and I are meant to be. Honestly, if I had saw this palette first, I think I would've bought this because it's such a steal. 

Too Faced Natural Eye Shadow Collection
$36?! ONLY? The colors are so beautiful, I think the only reason I haven't bought this is because some of the colors are similar to ones included in the Naked 2 Palette.

OH, all of these products were purchased at Sephora, so if you like shopping there for your makeup, or are interested in buying one of these palettes or some makeup items, I suggest you sign up and become a beauty insider! There are nice perks and your points will add up! Happy shopping :)
