Naked Palette: Cheaper similar shades!

 I love Urban Decay's Naked Palette but I know that not everybody wants 12 eye shadows in natural shades or wants to spend that much on their make up. I've already done a post on the Naked Palette so if you want to see the shades I'm going to mention you can have a look at them here. 

 I got the True Colour Quad in Mocha Latte which is from Avon and at the moment it's available for £5 online so if you only want a basic range of natural shades then this is for you. The compact also has a mirror and a double-ended foam applicator although I do prefer to use my own shadow brushes and the Urban Decay brush in the Naked Palette is nicer.

 My favourite shades in the Naked Palette were the matte ones and this Avon Quad has dupes for Urban Decay's matte shades 'Naked' and 'Buck' which are great every day colours and can also be used to fill in your eyebrows. The other two shadows are very similar to 'Toasted' and 'Virgin' although Avon's highlighter is slightly warmer.

 Avon's Quad is more affordable especially if you just want to experiment with some warmer shades, and it's perfect if you're travelling light as it's small enough to carry in your pocket. If you already have the Mocha Latte Quad let me know if you agree!

The Best Eye Shadow Palette

 After much use, I've decided that the Urban Decay Naked palette is my favourite collection of eye shadows. It's versatile, I've used it on nights out and for a casual, day time look.

 The range of colours suit everyone and there's a variety of shimmer, glitter and matte shades. When I purchased the palette I also received an eye shadow primer potion!

 Here's the inside of the palette and a closer look at the eye shadows:

 My favourite every day colours are the matte shade Buck with Virgin on the inner corners as a highlighter to open up the eyes. This is what the shades look like on my pale skin tone to give you an idea of the textures and intensity of the eye shadows:

 The Naked palette is portable enough to carry around in your bag, allowing you to touch up through the day or transform your look from day to night. The new matte shades are also useful for filling in your eyebrows as they contain no shimmer or glitter unlike most of the other Urban Decay eye shadows.
 Overall, I think the palette containing 12 shades is good value for money, which explains why it's usually sold out. It's currently £35 from House of Fraser but I got mine in the sale; the single eye shadows cost £13-£15!
