Urban Decay Naked Palette (Review)

I know there are already hundred of reviews about the Urban Decay Naked Palette out there but since the holidays are coming up and some people are probably thinking of giving this product as a gift, I thought another review wouldn't hurt. I've had this palette for more than a year now so I have a pretty good knowledge on how the products are and how well they work. This is also a gift from my boyfriend. He gave it to me out of nowhere, no occasion. He's the sweetest! <3

ABOUT THE PRODUCT:
This product retails for $50 at urbandecay.com or Sephora stores (sephora.com). Each palette has 12 FULL-SIZED EYESHADOWS, a travel size Primer Potion in Original and Good Karma Eyeshadow brush. Let's just break it down:
Full-sized Eyeshadow ($18 each) x 12 = $216
Travel Size Primer Potion = $9
Good Karma Shadow Brush = $26

This whole palette, if broken down, has $251 worth of products! I think that itself is worth buying! 
You get shimmer, matte, and glitter shadows in the palette and all the colors are warm neutrals. These are great for everyday use. The eyeshadows are very creamy and glides on to the lids when you apply them on. They are also VERY PIGMENTED. Especially when you use them with a primer. It doesn't necessarily have to be the primer potion. As you can see from the swatches below these eyeshadows aren't patchy at all. I can't rave enough on how much I love this palette.
The packaging is a brown velvet and I find that some eyeshadow fallouts stick to it. It doesn't really bother me much but it might be a little annoying to some. I think it looks very sleek and elegant. 

The colors included in the palette are (description of the colors are according to Sephora.com):
- Virgin (nude satin)
- Sin (champagne shimmer)
- Naked (buff matte)
- Sidecar (beige sparkle)
- Buck (brown matte)
- Half Baked (bronze)
- Smog (golden brown shimmer)
- Darkhorse (bronze-plum shimmer)
- Toasted (taupe-bronze)
- Hustle (mocha shimmer)
- Creep (near-black metallic)
- Gunmetal (dark grey metallic)

Here are swatches of the eyeshadows:
Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar

Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse

Toasted, Hustle, Creep, Gunmetal

I would rate this product 5/5

I can't rave enough about this product. The packaging is very sleek and travel friendly. They managed to make it small, yet you get so many options in making neutral soft eyes or dark smokey eyes. I definitely recommend everyone to get this palette. Although $50 might be a lot of money for some people but when you actually find out the actual value of the product and how great they work, its definitely worth the splurge. Plus, with these eyeshadow, a little bit goes a long way! So this product will last you a very long time! I've had this palette for more than a year and I haven't hit pan on any of them! If you're ever thinking of giving this as a gift for the holidays, that person will love you forever!
