Let me tell you, there are so many new shades that I find hard to make up my mind. Like a kid in a candy store, I have to put a few shades in my cart a few times and sleep on them before making my decision.
I have their Naked Palette 2 and love their neutral colors. So besides the neutral shade which comes with the palette, I only picked one neutral.
I love the idea of how easy it is to just pop the shadows out of these cases and put in my palette.
Buck, a very neutral beige color
Asphyxia, a light purple lilac color
Hijack, a dark green
Mushroom, a dark grey shimmery color, absolutely gorgeous
So this is my palette. As you can tell, I only got 4 shades this time. I just cannot find another shade that I absolutely adore to fill up my palette at this time. Figure there will always be new shades coming and I can always add on. What is your favorite Urban Decay eye shadow? Any suggestion ?
Swatches
Walk of fame is a neutral color which I am intending to use as a base or highlighter on corners of my eye and brow bone.
Buck is another neutral shade with more of a brown tone.
Asphyxia is a light lilac color. Very pretty. Loving lilac and just notice I have none similar to that.
Hijack looks quite different from the shade shown on website. You have to swatch at it at the store to fully appreciate how pigmented and gorgeous the color is. More of a grayish green color.
Mushroom is my favorite. Brownish with a hint of silver shimmers. Perfect for outer corner of eyes.
Great shades! I have yet to get the Naked2 Palette but when I think of it, is it really worth it for someone who does not wear makeup everyday? I always end up throwing away makeup :(

I'm having a giveaway on my blog if you're interested!
I wasn't into eye make up before. I just put on some tinted moisturizer, concealer, blush, eyeliner and lip gloss. But since I got the Naked Palette 2, found it's just soooooo much fun to create different looks. The naked palette is a great palette to start.
DeleteI was not into ANY eyeshadows a year ago. Don't know what has got into me this year. I blame it on the Urban Decay Naked Palette 2 which is a whole lot of fun and easy to use.
ReplyDeleteI love Mushroom! I use Buck for filling in my brows since it's nice and matte.
ReplyDeleteI'm more of a neutral and I'm surprised I love mushroom so much. The color is absolutely gorgeous! Buck is so versatile. I love the fact that it's matte. Need more matte shadows!
DeleteMushroom looks interesting - No Urban Decay in Australia - booo :(

yes, it's so gorgeous. I never thought I would go for such a pigmented color but when I saw it at the store, fell in love with it. Oh no Urban Decay in Australia? Hope it will get there soon!
DeleteHijack and asphyxia are unusual but so pretty and I bet they blend well!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw these 2 colors, never thought I would love them. Not really my style but after I tried them, love them. Strongly suggest u go to the store and swatch them. They are kind of deceiving in the pictures.
DeleteGorgeous colours, I like that there's a mix of dark and light, neutrals and colours :) Mushroom is my favourite, I'm a sucker for shades like it. I would love to build my own palette but I think the individual eyeshadows are just over $20 each, which is a little out of my range. I guess I'll stick with their pre-made palettes, but this is such a neat concept and I love the shadows you picked :)
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed expensive. That's why I didn't buy all 5, going to break my bank!! Wish they would come out with half size shadows-build your own palette soon. I get bored easily and will love to try more shadows in cheaper ways.
DeletePretty! I think I like the Hijack colour the most. :)
ReplyDeleteDropping by from the blog hop.
Hijack is such a pretty color. If I just see the color online, I don't think I would ever go for those. But after seeing the actual color in the store, fell in love.
DeleteThanks for dropping by :)
I am thrilled you did this post. I have the palette an a few shades saved in my Sephora shopping cart. I like a couple neutrals from both the first and second Naked palettes that I want one with all my favorites. My list includes Tease, Foxy and Stary Dog. Now you have me crushing on that gorgeous Mushroom color!!
ReplyDeleteI love the naked palette colors. I haven't got the first one and contemplating to get it. Love tease and foxy but haven't tried stary dog. I would have never thought I would love mushroom so much. But I have it on right now and loving it.
DeleteThanks for dropping by! :)
ahhhhh! I love the colour hijack and asphxia! These are amazing selections and I couldn't have just selected 6
ReplyDeleteIf they are that pricey, I'm sure I would get a whole bunch more. Wish they would come up with a build your own palette with half the size of these and I can get a lot more :)
DeleteOoooh! What I would do to get UrbanDecay shadows! Lucky you! :D Love the colours you chose especially Hijack and Mushroom, they look amazing! Thanks for following me, following back. <3
ReplyDeleteThere are so many gorgeous shades and I want a few more of those. Guess will wait a while before I get any more. Very happy with the choices I picked.
DeleteThanks for following back, very sweet of you:)
Oooh I like hijack the best :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for following my blog, I'm following you back!

Hijack is a beautiful color. I always think of myself as a neutral-lover but hijack is so pretty. Loving it!
DeleteThanks so much, very sweet of you :)
I'm never good at applying eye shadow :|
ReplyDeleteme neither. But with practice, I'm getting better :)
DeleteThose are amazing shades. Found your blog through the blog hop.
ReplyDeleteI am loving these new shades. Thanks for dropping by. Going to your blog next !
DeleteNice shades, especially 3rd and 4th in the first pic.
ReplyDeleteThose are my new favorites! I always get neutral colors but these 2 have changed my shopping pattern.
Deletenice selection!
ReplyDeleteit is interesting that the asphyxia color is different from the one i had. mine was just white with purple glimmer to it. ;)
Interesting that they keep the name but change the color slightly, just to confuse people! There are a few old shades that I really like in my naked palette 2 but don't come in the new packaging. Some people say they fit in this palette, some say they don't.
DeleteFound you through the blog hop event. New follower, I love your blog and you style! I'm really thinking on getting the palette!
ReplyDeleteI'd love it if you could follow my blog!

thank you very much. Very sweet of you :)
DeleteFollowing you back!
girrrrrl, so jealous! i love me some UD. i've been wanting to build my own palette so bad, but haven't had the money to fork up for it :/ Love what you picked out, though. Asphyxia is the only one i don't have and i ALMOST bought it a couple days ago... wish I had now! I couldn't possibly pick just one UD shadow that's my favorite, but most of the ones in the Deluxe or 15th anniversary palette are ones I regularly use :)
ReplyDeleteThe UD shades are so lovely. You're right, it's hard to pick just ONE favorite. Keeping my eyes open to fill up my palette :)
