MUA 'Undressed' palette review






MUA 'Undressed' palette (£4) - Superdrug

Time for another MUA review, this time, I think I might be a little more in love. I recently reviewed MUA's 'Starry Night' eye shadow palette here and I was absolutely in love with it...until I tried 'Undressed' and I knew my love lied somewhere else! Don't get me wrong, 'Starry Night' is a FANTASTIC and I think I'll probably use it more on holiday and when the sunny days hit (WHICH THEY HAVE! YAY!) but I think 'Undressed' will definitely be the perfect winter palette. The packaging is classic MUA, black casing with a clear lid, pretty decent when you're buying it and you can see all of the shades. I don't think I'll have a problem with it as I'm pretty careful and no cracks as of yet! Now, I all know you most likely know how much of a dupe this palette is for the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette, from the shades to the name, I thought it was absolutely brilliant myself. Now, I don't have the UD palette to compare with you all but I did swatch this baby for you. Now, I'll admit, the matt shades aren't the best, but matt shades never are but oh my goodness, the shimmer shades, the pigmentation is fantastic, easily buildable and just perfect for everyday. My favourite shades have to be either 4 or 7 I think, they are just so darn pretty, and I thought the mini masterclass was a brilliant idea myself. I've done it, it's good! I urge you all to go and buy this palette, for £4 you can't really go wrong, especially as it's neutral, everybody needs this in their collection! 

Have you got/used this palette? Did you love it as much as me?

MUA 'Starry Night' palette review





MUA 'Starry Night' palette (£4) - Superdrug 

Now, it seems everybody is absolutely loving MUA and I am definitely one of those people! This was the first palette I purchased and I absolutely love it :) C'mon, like seriously, it's only £4! That works out about 33p per eye shadow with the 12 you get in here and the pigmentation for what you have just paid is fantastic. I haven't experienced any fallout when applying these eye shadows which just makes this purchase even better for me as I always, always wear eye shadow! I love how you can make so many different looks with this palette, from the ultimate smokey eye to my favourite, a purple shimmery look :) I think shade 1 is my definitely my favourite shade just because I love a purple look! I'm not going to lie, some of the shades have more pigmentation than others but nothing a little more work won't fix. That really is the ONLY fault I can find with this palette. Worth every single penny, and it's not even that many pennies :D

Have you used MUA before? How about this palette? Did you like it?
