The latest addition to Urban Decay's all-famous Naked series has finally hit Singapore's shores. Out of all the Naked releases, this palette is probably the one that I am most excited about. According to Urban Decay's website, this palette features 12 brand new eyeshadow shades and they are all rose-hued neutrals!
Naked3 is currently available in Sephora Singapore and retails for SG$83. Comparatively, this palette is more expensive than the first two. All the Naked palettes are available in the U.S. for US$52 and when first released is Singapore, the original Naked and Naked2 were SG$80 each. So I was quite surprised that there was a small hike in the price of the Naked3 and was contemplating whether I should get it from the states. My lovely sister saved me all that trouble because she surprised me and got it as a christmas present!!
Here's a look at the Naked3 palette in all its glory...

As usual, the UD shadows are of great quality. Every colour is pigmented and easily blendable. Some reviews online mentioned that Trick has quite alot of fall out but to me, it applied fine. In fact, I have no complaints about the quality of the shadows. As you can tell from the pictures, this palette included various finishes of eyeshadow. There are 3 matte, 4 shimmery and 5 satin shades. My favourite shades are Burnout, Nooner and Factory and I use them together for a everyday look.
The brush that came along with this palette is a dual-ended one. It has 2 shader brushes, one that is flatter and the other being thicker and more fluffy. I personally prefer the brush that came with the Naked2 because one side is a fluffy blending brush. Not really sure why UD gave 2 shader brushes but I guess it still works.
After about 2 weeks playing with the colours, I dare say that this is my favourite Naked palette. I wouldn't call it a must-have despite it being the case for me because some may not find the rosy shades complementary to their skin tone. This palette is just so pretty and I find the colours just make the whole look more feminine while still great for everyday. The price point is rather steep though (especially since Sephora Singapore increased their price) so this is definitely a splurge. I would still have saved up and buy it myself had my sister not gotten it as a present for me though.
Hope this review was helpful and apologies for the delay in posting this. I have been procrastinating blogging since my return to Singapore and it's really bad, I know. Take it as my year-end break before I start pumping out reviews and hauls in the new year. Hope everyone had a great holiday season and happy new year!!
