Urban Decay : Naked Palette

Okay..after lot of thinking and reading other blogs, I finally caved in and ordered the much talked about Urban Decay Naked Palette from BeautyBay 3 weeks ago. And since the day it was dispatched(10th May) I would check my post everyday in hope to find it waiting for me. So my joys knew no bounds when I found "Sorry, we missed you note" from Australia Post on 25th May.

The treat I had been waiting for so long has finally arrived.





I confess that when I opened the palette, I went 'Meh' with the colors..I had eyeshadows all over my collection which were common to my the ones in Naked.

But,boy, I was in for surprise when I swatched it. Its almost butter smooth and with awesome pigmentation.
The swatches below are taken without any primer. Also they last over 10 hours without any creasing with UDPP as the base.



L to R :
  •          Virgin : I couldn't think of an appropriate description :-(
  •          Sin : Highlight shade with hint of pink
  •          Naked : Matte light brown, perfect for blending
  •          Sidecar : Frosty brown shade


 L to R : 
  •          Buck : Matte medium brown
  •          Half Baked : Copper color with hint of gold
  •          Smog : Medium copper brown
  •          Darkhorse : Dark chocolate brown


L to R :

  •          Toasted : Metallic Copper with hint of rose
  •          Hustle : Brown color with strong plum hints
  •          Creep :(what a name for e/shadow) its a shimmery black
  •          Gun Metal : Shimmery silver with shades of blue


I know most blogs have already reviewed this in detail but I just want to add that this palette is all a neutral lover needs to have.

The only thing which I didn't like...the velvet packaging..but I guess thats just me

I have a CRUSH

And yes..I have a crush...and its on Crush Cosmetics (crushcosmetics.coma.u).

I just love the website and adore the site owner, Lina. She is the best.

Let me first start with the website

What I love about crush cosmetics

  • It has most extensive collection of products from NYX, Milani, Coastal Scents, Sleek, ELF and many more brands

  • The quality of product is great (as in they aren't old or damaged)

  • Shipping is free for orders above $60 AUD for Australian order.  This works for me as I never go below $60

  • Products are packaged with utmost care

  • The package is shipped the same day

  • Regular updates are provided for the package before it leaves Crush office

  • It has brought the best from the brands listed on website

  • Site is very user friendly

  • Paypal is available for payment, so we feel safe buying things

  • Site also ships internationally , even India ..yay


And I will always love  it, cause I got the much loved UDPP from this site.

Now, what I love about Lina

  • She makes sure any special request made while placing the order are implemented

  • She makes sure to reply to every mail / question asked from her

  • She ensures that the customer should be satisfied

  • She always adds a personal touch to the package, by always sending a gift with the purchase

  • One word, she is the BEST

  • She is one of many other reasons why keep going back to crushcosmetics.com.au


Its the place where I go for window shopping ( on internet) when I am tired, or need a something to relax.

I have already bought thrice from the site and I know that I will be going there for more....

Good work ..Lina and the team at CrushCosmetics.com.au
