The Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow palette was one of my best beauty buys last year. It is a GREAT BUY at $48. Sephora and UD couldn’t keep it on the shelves. I saw one at the Sephora in my office building last summer and jumped on it. They must have upped production because it’s back in stock.

Why is it such a great buy?
- Consider that a full-sized UD eyeshadow is 0.05 oz and $17.
- This palette has 12 full sized shadows (in very wearable shades) {$204 value}, an eyeshadow brush {$26 value}, and a travel size eyeshadow primer potion {negligible value for comparison purposes}. (The version I had came with eyeshadow pencils instead of the brush.)
- $48 < $230 value. Not to mention that the shadows are very pigmented and wear/blend well.
- At press time, my favorite eBates is offering a record 12% back for Sephora.com. Let me know if I can refer you 🙂
- If Sephora is sold out, you can also check the UD store.
And speaking of palettes, isn’t the color palette of these tulips so cheerful and uplifting? Thanks C for the flowers!

Speaking of makeup, I found two (brand-new) tubes of Fiberwig in my stockpile. Guess I’m good for another few more months!
