Christmas gift to myself this year....
Urban Decay's Naked Basics Palette
http://www.sephora.com/naked-basics-palette-P376213?skuId=1458157
Very excited to try this one out!! The Naked palettes line by Urban decay is a HUGE best seller for several reasons. They make the most wearable colors all in one set, the array of shadows blend well together, they are rich in pigment, and one little portable case has every eyeshadow you could want for a day to night look!
That being said...I do not own a Naked palette. Naked (1) has been around for some time and Naked2 made its debut earlier this year. The second naked swapped out a few more basic colors from the first. Why don't I have a Naked palette yet? Well...because I kinda hate palettes!! I don't like little windows of eyeshadow all in one package because typically I'm just not going to use all of them. I usually will stick to 1 or 2 and then the rest is a waste. And most of the time, you can get that exact shade you use more frequently in its own little pot!
However, along came Naked Basics...and that means along came my favorite types of shadows....MATTE!!!!!! See earlier posts on where I rant and rave about how I love everything Matte!
This palette has your everyday basic shadows all in one place. For the smoky eye look, the golden taupe look, the pink look, the natural crease look, the fully awake look, and even slight concealing and setting! (Yes, I made up some of those names but I can picture in my mind what the look is, and can send pics and info if you so desire :). Naked Basics may not translate to night if you want some shimmer, however, any well blended shade can be enhanced by a separate shimmery topping...a little frosting on top as I like to call it!
I plan to buy it soon...review to come!

I have the Naked II palette. Love it! No need for anything else and I find that they are very easy to blend.
