Giving into the hype...Urban Decay Naked 3


I have finally caved and purchased the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette! For the longest time I refused to buy into all the hype and excitement surrounding this stunning palette but alas to no avail. I am an avid user of the original Naked palette but I never brought the Naked 2 for the simple reason that it just didn't grab me! It all seemed a bit 'samey' and nothing particularly new. However this beautiful palette is like nothing I already own. 
This palette leans much more towards the pink side of the neutral scale but without reminding me of the horrible barbie pinks I wore as a young teenager (unfortunately this did happen)! The shade buzz reminds me ever so slightly of a shade from my Clinque 'Pink Chocolate' quad. However 'Buzz' comes off a lot deeper and is a much warmer tone. 

The palette itself contains 12 eye shadows, 3 of which are matte shades. 'Nooner' is a really lovely crease colour, which I have been wearing blended down into 'Liar' with 'Factory' on the outside corner. The only downside to these shadows is they do need a primer underneath as I find otherwise they tend to slide about throughout the day. This palette does come with some of the Urban Decay primer samples, but I think for the price a good mini sized primer potion would have been a better choice. It also comes with a dual ended brush, which I really like. One end is really flat and is so ideal to pack colour onto the lid, whilst the other end is slightly fluffier and brilliant for blending. 
It has defiantly been giving my original Naked palette a run for its money. This palette retails for £37 in the UK. 

Which of the Urban Decay Naked palettes is your most loved? I would love to know!
