URBAN DECAY - NAKED Eye Shadow Palette

I loves me a good palette.
I like to compare being a make-up artist to being a chef. Add a little dash here, a dollop there, and voila you have created a masterpiece. 

Does
Urban Decay have all the right ingredients to make this a hit or is it half baked?

the promise
*variety of textures
*universally flattering colours
*professional quality brush
*strong range of colours

the pure truth
Not only do you get 12 colours in this palette but as a bonus you receive a travel sized eye primer and a pretty good brush that they claim is cruelty free. All this for 68$.
Add in the fact that it is a sleek sassy velvet case and I am sold!

The textures are quite lovely, very easy to blend, and as promised there is nice colour range that works for every skin tone. This palette also delivers on their pledge to include a mixture of textures from glitter to shimmer to a couple of matte.


the bottom line
As evidenced by this disclaimer that I copied from the Sephora web site this product is hugely popular:
Product Availability: This product is in extremely high demand. Accordingly, Urban Decay is producing as many as possible, as fast as they can. Please check regularly to keep up-to-date on product availability. Thank you. 

The shadows are so nice they are almost pre- blended for you. Great for any woman and really nice for an artist to toss in their kit for brides.

If the warm based tones in this palette are not your cup of tea there always is the sequel Naked2 that features cooler based neutrals that are anything but boring basics.

rating
I can't find much wrong with this palette; the price is even right considering just how much product you get.
I do wish that there was a couple more matte shades included but Urban Decay really does deliver on it's promises with this palette so it gets:
