Urban Decay Naked Palette - original or 2?

[justtryingtodomybest]

I have made some extra money by selling a few bits and pieces on e-bay so have decided to treat myself to the Urban Decay Naked Palette. I have heard so many good things about it and I love the sort of colours that are included.
But now I see there's a new version out. Does anyone have both? Which would you recommend?

I've only got the original - do love it though.

The newer one is in more hardwearing packaging and has more cooler colours in - there are reviews on www.makeupalley.com and lipglossipping.com.

I only have the original aswell, I love it use it everyday. The packaging is pants though.

I have naked 2 and I use it every day I love it the colours are all wearable and you can create lots of different looks.

Dd has both - had one for Christmas and the other for her birthday - will ask her which is best

I have the first one too and love it. I also like that its got a nice silver in it.

Go and try them both out to see what you'd use most.

I have both - cheap off ebay!

Original - anyone can wear any of the colours every day - beautiful subtle nudes.

Second one is way more shimmery, tbh I don't like it that much - might be ok with a tan or on holiday...

I would go with the first one!

Have had a text from DD:
"if she's a warm skin tone and likes autumny colours get 1, if she's a cool skin tone get 2, wants something a bit less golden with a more silvery sheen. warm skin tones are more yellowy cool ones are more pinky White. personally I would say 1 is better for older women, [DD is 22 btw, to put 'older' into context but if she has particularly hooded eyes, got for 2 as the range of sheens make the eyes stand out. x"

Hello, I have both. I bought the Naked 2 in March and Naked a couple of weeks ago. I bought them from Debenhams when they had 10% off and a further 10% off from Topcashback. I love them both - I know that's not very helpful. Can you go and have a look at them first? I couldn't make it to the shops so went by photos on line. The best photos for the original Naked are at supergorgeous.co.uk. The packaging is a lot more hardwearing with no 2 and it has a better brush & a couple of my favourite colours - pistol & snakebite. The original is much lighter (& far less hardwearing) packaging & comes with a mini of the primer potion which is fab (the 2nd has a lipgloss). They both have lots of shimmery shades but the 2nd is supposed to be cooler shades. I love them both and find them sufficiently different to have both. If I was just going to have one I would go for Naked 2. If you're thinking of getting them off Ebay, be careful because there a lot of fakes on there. There's some blogs on Youtube about how to recognise a fake Naked.
I spent ages looking on Makeupalley & various beauty blogs to decide which to get & then loved No2 so much, I had to get No 1 as well!

I got mine from ebay for £18 quid each - not fakes and I only buy from sellers that say they are happy for things to be returned - that usually separates the wheat from the chaff I would NOT pay the full price for them - they are over priced at £45.

They're full price £36 in Debenhams - or on offer at the moment for £32.40 on the website. Never seen them for sale at £45!!!

Mine was 30 pounds in January this year iirc (Debenhams) and has proved worth every penny.

I have Naked 2 and I love it.

I use all the colours and just love it. Can you tell I love it?

If you like the shades and will use most of them, I think they are very good value. You get 12 full size eyeshadows, which retail for £13 each separately, a mini eye primer or lipgloss & a good quality brush for £32.40 (at Debenhams). Even less when you go through a cashback site & take credit card loyalty points into consideration.

Yeah they are good value. I paid £36 for mine full price from Debenhams. Initial outlay is high, but when you consider that is £3 per eyeshadow - you would spend more than that on Collection 2000 nowadays!

I love urban decay but I love sleek palettes too. I got their au naturel palette and it is lovely!!!

I have the first one and TBH when I first got it I was disappointed at the lack of matt colours. However I use it at least three times a week as the shimmer in the first one arent that shimmery on and it doesnt matter which colours I go for, they all go together and blend beautifully. Im planning on getting the second for christmas.

Dropdeadfred - I've never heard of Sleek. Is their stuff good? It looks lovely and seems very reasonably priced?

I just got an email from Debenhams saying you get £10 worth of extra points on the beauty club if you spend £40 on urban decay. Might use it as an excuse to finally treat myself to the Naked pallette. Just mentioning in case the offer is of interest to anyone else!

Justtrying... It's lovely!! Really pigmented and last a long time. I have about 6 of their palettes ( can afford to cos they are so cheap!!!)

Dropdeadfred - I went and bought the Sleek Au Naturel palette today and it seems lovely. I also bought a blusher and lip gloss. If you are in the UK, Superdrug have all their make-up on 3 for 2 just now so it's even more bargain-tastic! Thanks for the tip.

Where do you get Sleek stuff from?

Valiumredhead - you can get it online - www.sleekmakeup.com/

Or, in the UK, it's available through Superdrug stores

Ooh justtrying that's good!! I'm glad you like it!

Oh thanks - going to Superdrug on Friday, will take a look.
