Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette

The most highly anticipated launch of the summer has finally landed. Details were released about the Naked Smoky Palette about 2 months ago and everyone went crazy. I got the first Naked Palette a few years ago and although I love the shades, I'm not crazy about the cardboard packaging. I also own the Naked 2 and 3, with the rosy tones of the Naked 3 being my previous favorite.

This palette is everything the hype said it would be and more. There are a variety of matte and shimmer shades that can create endless possibilities for the ultimate smoky eye. I own way too many neutral palettes, so I'm glad Urban Decay decided to release something that would change it up. Each shadow is so pigmented and creamy, and although I've only played with this for a day, I know it will soon become a favorite. Plus, the double-ended brush that is included is one of those rarities that's actually good quality. There are both shimmer and matte shades, and the shimmers aren't overly glittery while the mattes aren't overly chalky. It's a winner.

I ordered mine directly from Urban Decay last week, and fortunately it came in two days with a special offer of free 2 day shipping. Unfortunately, it's out of stock on the website and not in stores yet but you can get it online at Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom, etc. Don't miss out -- you need this palette in your life.
