A dupe that saves you over £30

Naked 2 and Undress me Too...It's not just the names that are similar!
For a long time now I've been eyeing the Naked palettes from Urban Decay, especially the Naked 2 Palette. The Naked 2 palette offers an array of colours that work amazing with pale, cool skin tones. So everytime I went onto Debenhams or BeautyBay I would add it to my basket, hoping that I would 'accidentally' press the confirm payment button. But as the mouse hovered over the final chance button all I could think was: "£36 for an eyeshadow pallette... really?" It would mean I'd end up purchasing eyeshadow brushes to go with it and in the end it would all add up to over £70 pounds for something that I only use occasionally.

I stumbled upon a comparison to Urban Decay's palette that was almost a dupe, from a English brand called MUA. MUA offer an affordable range that is part of Superdrug. 


This palette was a mere £4.00, and I actually can say I love every colour in it. I was really excited to try the shadows, and I was pleasantly surprised at how pigmented they actually are. Of course they aren't going to be to the quality that you would get from the Naked eyeshadows, but for the difference of £32 I'm not surprised!
In this palette there are mostly shimmery colours, but you get a few lovely matte colours that are really soft and just so pretty. 
I've had this for a while now and I really can't wait to try out another one of their palettes.
How many times have I said palettes now? Palettes, Palettes, Palettes. I just love them!!
Watch out for a future blog post on how I achieved a look using this product alone.
