Hahaha, I still can't help but be a little annoyed with UD right now for saying, "How could anyone?" when they pulled the China BS last year.

Part of me really really wants this palette because I have the other two Naked palettes, but the other part of me doesn't because the shadows in these are similar to some of the ones in the other Naked palettes, I've already got WOS because of the build your own palette, but I'm still finding myself looking at this every time I go up to Sephora or Ulta.

@AuttyW I do not own either of the naked palettes, but I am so glad that I have this one. It is vey versatile for me, as I use it a lot. If you're a fan of mattes, I think you would love it.

Hi Phyrra, do you know if this palette is permanent? I have most of these shades in my arsenal already, but I'd love to pick up this palette once I'm through with a couple of my shades.

Hey Phyrra, how would you say Venus compares with Virgin?

I really love a matte eye, the black looks particularly well pigmented too!  It's basic, but if you don't have anything like it, it's a good buy!

@blushingnoir I really like the brown in it and it is definitely pigmented! I love having all these shades in one palette.

I love mattes and have both Naked palettes. While I really want to love this, I wish the first three colors weren't quite so light.

I'm not a huge matte fan, but I am learning their benefits. As such, I don't think I need this one at the moment. Plus, I'm curious to see how the L'oreal thing plays out, as well.

Honestly at first, I wasn't even thinking about getting this palette but at $27 I think I just changed my mind. I could grab a few as holiday gifts for a few family members who had their eyes on my Naked 1 & 2 palettes but didn't need all the colors!

I just heard about Urban Decay and L'Oreal. I'm shocked and I will say goodbye to the brand without a doubt.

@Misato I'm going to wait and see if they remain cruelty-free. I did make a post on it.

Thanks for the review. I'm liking the look of this palette. Do you use Foxy much? If so, how? I find it too yellow for me to use easily. I was also wondering what your initial thoughts are on UD selling out to L'Oreal. I'm waiting to see what UD has to say, but I'm nervous. They are currently being silent on Facebook. I'll wait to see how that plays out (and until my credit card stops screaming from holiday deals) before I pick this up.

@beautybabbling I haven't used Foxy yet. It's very yellow, so not sure of how to incorporate it into my looks. If UD remains cruelty-free, like the Body Shop, I'll continue to support them.

They’re all mattes, so they can be used with other mattes or shimmer shades to line, contour, highlight and blend out colors. It’s also perfect if you like the ‘no makeup’ look. See my review. [...]
