W7 Palette - Urban Decay Naked 3 Dupe!

 

 

As a makeup obsessed beauty addict, I am always wanting to get my hands on the Urban Decay Naked Palettes, but the price tag puts me off every time! So for a while now I have been searching for a very similar dupe with the same pinky and rose gold shades. While raiding the TK MAXX store searching for any bargains (I picked up a set of 3 Revlon Lip Butters for the price of one of them (£7.99) in there before, trust me there's many goodies hiding around. I also got a Too Faced palette as well which is rare but a bargain buy!!) I saw hiding under some bits and bobs, a rose gold rectangle shaped palette and in my head I was hoping for it to be the Naked Palette. And when I pulled it out, it was something very similar!

So the palette I found is called the w7 palette 'In the Nude' and clearly as you can see from the packaging looks a lot like the Naked 3 palette. It has a sturdy rose gold tin packaging with the name of the palette written across it. Most palettes that have similar shades to UD palettes are often from MUA or Makeup Revolution which have fairly cheap packaging (but are very pigmented I must add), but this palette's packaging looks very good quality!

When you open it up, it is clear that the colours are more or less the same as the Naked 3. It ranges from natural pinky gold shades (which are my favourite!) to darker greys and mauves. There are 3 matte shades, one of which is my favourite (in the Naked 3 palette it's called 'Nooner'). The darker shades are very pigmented, but the lighter shades are a little bit less strong in colour. But they come out stronger when applied with my finger and not a brush! There are some glitters which are very pretty. My favourite shades are showed in the picture above. I might do a makeup look with this palette if you're interested?!

 

Overall I am very impressed with this palette and definitely recommend it if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to Urban Decay palettes. This was only around the £6 mark which is 1/6 of the Naked palettes! Thank you for reading this review and I hope you enjoyed!

MUA Undressed Palette - Naked Palette Dupe

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I'm pretty sure we've all heard about the Naked palettes by Urban Decay. Every beauty lover has them or is dying to get their hands on them, well I know I certainly do. But why spend £40 when you can get something really similar for £4? Yes, it probably won't be the same, but the colours are very similar if you ask me. If you haven't guessed by the title, this post is going to be on the MUA Undressed eye shadow palette as it is supposedly a dupe for the Naked 1 palette. Sadly, I do not own any of the Naked Palettes, so this may not be entirely true, I am just basing it on what I can see in photos and what I have heard other people say.

For £4 you get 12,  highly pigmented eyeshadows with a mix of mattes and shimmers. I think the main reason this palette gets compared to the Naked palette is because of the colours, they are pretty much identical and also go in the same order as the Naked 1 palette. The eyeshadows are extremely pigmented, the shimmers more than the mattes. My favourite shades are Shade 2, 5 and 9. I think 2 and 9 really work well together as they both have pink undertones. I am a bit disappointed in Shade 3 as it lacks pigmentation a lot.

The packaging is pretty much what you pay for, but I guess it's the eyeshadows that are what you are actually using so it shouldn't matter too much. In the palette you also receive a little sponge type applicator which I don't use at all. I really recommend looking at the MUA palettes if you are just starting out in makeup or you don't want to spend about £40 on the Naked palette but you just want the colours in it. I think MUA also do an Undressed Me Too palette which is apparently a dupe for the Naked 2.

The only negative things I have to say about the MUA palette is the packaging which I've already mentioned. But also that the eyeshadows do leave a lot of fall out under your eyes when you apply it, but it can easily be swiped away.

I really think these MUA palettes are worth a buy as you get 12 amazingly pigmented eyeshadows for only £4, its hard to go wrong. If you've tried these out tell me what you think of them! I hope you enjoyed this blog post, thanks for reading and have a nice day, bye!
