Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

I got given this for Christmas and I loved it so much I went out and got the other two as well!

The 12 colours come in a nice metal package which includes a mirror, good quality brush and (when I got mine) a free sample of 4 of their eye shadow primers.

The colours are lovely, go on well (although the more glittery ones do fall onto your cheeks a little) and last all day. They're very blendable and buildable and you can create so many looks and combinations for both day and night.

I have been using mine for 6 months now and think they are going to last a long time so they're pretty good value for money.

I was a little bit wary about spending £36 on an eye-shadow palette (I'm usually a budget buyer) but I'd seen it used in some tutorials on YouTube, and it looked really nice, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I went for it!

Good points: The colours are beautiful, you can pick any two and they look great together. They're easy to use, the palette comes with a double-ended brush - which is actually a really good quality brush - and the shadow is really high pigment - definitely rivalling Mac. The colours are easy to blend and there's a really good mixture of irridescent and natural shades.

Bad points: I have none to share... yet! I only bought it a couple of days ago, so I'll have to wait and see, but so far I am very pleased!
