Ladies, it’s finally here. I have the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette in my possession, and I’m never letting it go. I was lucky enough to buy it on the Urban Decay website the day it came out, but it is now available at Sephora! Be sure to pick it up quickly- it’s sure to sell out! I thought I’d share some pictures and swatches as well as comparisons to the Naked and Naked 2 palettes.
Also, be sure to keep reading until the end because I’ve teamed up with a few blogger friends for a $225 PayPal giveaway!
The rose gold packaging is so beautiful, and the palette itself is very sturdy. I actually like the brush that they included with the palette. The bristles are soft, and the dense blending brush side is my favorite. It’s great for blending out your crease color without losing color.

Buzz is a fabulous rose gold shimmer. Trick is a coppery-gold shimmer. Nooner is my second favorite shade in the palette, and it’s a deeper rosy-taupe matte. Liar is a medium brown shimmer.

Compared to Naked 1, the Naked 3 palette is noticeably lighter and features more rosy-toned shadows. The Naked 3 palette also features more matte shadows than Naked 1. They’re both absolutely gorgeous, and I use and love both palettes.
Naked 2 is much more cool-toned than Naked 3’s rose gold theme. Naked 3 features more matte shades than Naked 2 and more light shades. Again, I adore both palettes.
So, do you need all three? Well, no one NEEDS dozens of neutral eyeshadows, but if you’re a makeup enthusiast who wears neutral shadows on a daily basis- go for it! I love all three palettes, and I mix and match them to create my perfect eye look of the day. I’m not sure if I could pick a favorite because my preferences depend on the season and my mood, but I am absolutely enamored with Naked 3 at the moment. The rosey-taupes and rose gold shadows make my heart flutter. I would say that all three palettes are definitely worth the money for the quality and amount of product you get!
And now for a fun giveaway!

Oh my gosh!! You're so lucky to have the Naked 3 palette~ I'm a fan of rose hued colored, so I feel like I'd really love this palette~ >.< It's always sold out online though!

I fully convinced myself that I didn't need it, and after this, I obviously do! I only have the NAKED Basics palette. I can justify that, right? Right.<br /><br />› xo fal • falfindshappiness.blogspot.com
