Today I wanted to share with you one
of my most recent discoveries and by that I’m mean makeup! So, for a while now I’ve had my eye on the Urban Decay makeup
palettes. I'm sure that you'll have heard of them,
as all three have been popping up all over the blog-o-sphere recently. But personally, as much as I love them, I couldn’t
bring myself to spend £38 on an eye shadow palette.
So, several weeks ago, it was my Mum’s
birthday and she had asked me for a natural coloured eye shadow palette that
was possibly shimmery too. So refusing to spend £38 on the urban decay palette,
I scoured the net to find an alternative – and I did.
I bought the W7 In The Buff – Natural
Nudes Eye Colour Palette for only £4.80 on Amazon.com. I was so impressed with the price – I bought
an extra for myself and I am extremely impressed with the turn out of this palette! I think this a direct dupe of the Naked 2 palette, as the colours are very similar.
.
I took two photos; one inside and one
out, so you can hopefully see the light shining off all the different shades.
In ‘In The Buff’ there are three
matte shades; a ‘buff’ cream, (I use this as a base) a lovely light ‘chocolate’
and a black called ‘onyx’. I was really happy with these three as they are
quite thick rather than crumbly which makes it easier to mix with the other
colours.
Then there are 8 other shimmery
shades which I also really like, with ‘Silk’ being my favourite (above). So overall, I
am absolutely dazzled by this palette, and its quality most definitely surpasses
its price. Having never used the Naked palette, I couldn’t personally compare
the two, but you can see how similar the colours are – even the layout.
The only negative thing I could say about this palette would be about the brush it comes with which is quite cheap and simple. But being only £5 you can afford to use others, or even buy a new one.
I would
highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to save their purse from
screaming, and at just under £5 – isn't it worth giving it a go?
I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what you think, especially if
you've use the Naked palettes before.
*Since I wrote this post W7 have released a Naked 3 dupe called 'In the Nude' (amazon link) so if you prefer N3 - I'd definitely recommend this as they're great quality!
Love Roseanne

p.s: just in case you were wondering, my Mum loved the palette too :)
