It is known that every single girl wants to get her hands on
Urban Decay Naked 3 palette, unfortunately not all of us can afford it. So for
my first BEAUTY ON A BUDGET, I will be reviewing the LA Girl Nudes palette,
which has been labelled as the much more affordable dupe for the Naked 3
palette. This Nude Palette retails for R70, which I find quite affordable for
the amount of eyeshadow you’re getting.
Unfortunately, I can’t compare the two palettes, because
I’ve never tried the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette before, so expect something
interesting as I unfold the mystery behind the LA Girl Nude Palette. I
purchased this palette from Dis-Chem a few months back, which gave me a chance
to play a little with the palette before I actually reviewed it.
The LA Girl Nudes palette comes in a high glossy black and
nude hard board packaging, which I find pretty sturdy, except the fact that the
magnet close isn’t strong enough, which is a big downfall if you want to travel
around with this palette. The palette includes a double sided brush, one side
has a sponge applicator, while the other side includes a brush applicator. The
palette also contains a mirror, long enough to see both eyes, for an even
application.
In this LA Girl Nudes palette contains 12 eyeshadows, three
matte and nine shimmery shades. Luckily I don’t have a problem with the shimmer
shades, because they subtle enough for me to use every day to work. For a nude
palette, the shades have plenty of rose gold shades, which is the reason this
palette has been labelled as “Urban Decay’s Naked 3 Dupe”.
Let us begin with the actual eyeshadows, those buttery,
silky soft eyeshadows, waiting to provide you with the perfect look. I’m being
completely honest when I say, I’ve never used the application brush which came
with the kit, I’m always using my 27Pinkx make up brushes, because I’m used to
them. These eyeshadows feel absolutely soft and smooth, a little creamy for
powdered eyeshadows, and they blend effortlessly.
I’ve never used these eyeshadows with an eye primer *insert
your awkward look here* even though I normally do use eye primer, I just chose
not to with these eyeshadows. They actually proved to be long lasting and got
me through an entire day with very minimum creasing due to Durban’s hot
weather. I find these eyeshadows to be very “blendable” and very easy to create
day time, night time and party time looks in a matter of minutes.
My final thoughts: I would really recommend this LA Girl
Nudes Palette if you’re a make-up junkie, if you love eyeshadows, and
definitely if you’ve been lusting over the Naked 3 palette. It is a very
affordable palette and you can create endless looks with this magical palette.
