| So I bought both ;) |
With all the hype surrounding the Urban Decay Naked palettes that retail for a whopping 64$ + tax, it is no wonder that there are dupes popping up everywhere. Other examples are the Coastal Scents Revealed palettes, and L'Oreal's Color Riche La Palette Nude or even Annabelle's Smokey Nudes Eyeshadow Pallette.
At first glance, the color options that these palettes offer are impressive. You get 12 colors per palette, and each contain a combination of matte and satin shades.
 |
| The original palette has a combination of bronzy tones, ranging from champagnes to taupes to golds and browns/blacks |
 |
| The blushed palette has an array of pinky tones ranging from a vanilla to rose golds to silver/greys and a sparkly plum |
Application:
As soon as you swatch the colors with your fingers, you understand that the color payoffs are quite sheer, especially the matte shades. The more satiny shiny shades are more pigmented.
Right away, I would recommend that these palettes be used with an eye primer and a dense eyeshadow brush (or even your fingers) to apply.

Final thoughts:
The colors are gorgeous, it is obvious that they gave the color choices a lot of thought. Most of the shades have a wonderful satiny finish that are easy to apply and easy to blend out.
The variety available in the palettes makes it easy to go from day to night without the bulk of having to carry around a bunch of different pans and the user-friendly-ness of not having to break your head deciding which colors go well together.
However, I do wish that the colors would be more pigmented. Colors that are adequately pigmented not only facilitate application but also give the wearer the choice of degree of intensity they wish to have.
All in all, a good buy for the everyday woman looking for a variety of choices for an affordable price :)
